Version Differences

Weapon Get Cut Scenes

The most obvious difference between the US and Japanese release of the game are the cutscenes after clearing one of the 8 robot stages. On the US cart, you only ever see Dr. Light talk to Mega Man. On the J cart, you can see any of Dr. Light, Roll, or Auto.

Dr. Light is always the fastest conversation. Auto is usually the longest. The notable exception is "Burst Roll".
