Proto:Mega Man 8 (PlayStation)

This page details one or more prototype versions of Mega Man 8 (PlayStation).

To do: A lot more stuff and fixing up.

All of these prototypes are for the Japanese PlayStation version.

Sub-Pages

August 4, 1996 Prototype Very early in development, with a large number of differences.

Prototype 2 Far more complete, but still missing quite a few details.

Rockman 8 Trial Version The Special Trial Disc, which also has a demo of Mega Man X4.

Debugging Features

Note: These features are not available in the Special Trial Disc.

• Hold L2 to slow the game down.
• Hold R2 to temporarily freeze the game.
• Hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 + Start to reset the game.
• Hold X + Circle for "free movement", allowing you to drag Mega Man anywhere on the map.
• On Controller 2, press Up and Down to increase or decrease the energy in the health bar.

Music

The first two prototypes listed above have a very different soundtrack. The only song that made the final cut was for the Mid-Bosses, but even that was changed.

Ice Stage (Frost Man)

It should also be noted that the Ice Stage/Frost Man music was also used in Prototype 2 as filler music.
