Enemies

Viruses

MegaMan encounters Viruses randomly while moving around in cyberspace, or during specific scripted events. A virus encounter halts the action and takes the player to a special battle screen, on which one or more viruses must be defeated (or fled from using the Escape chip) in order to return to cyberworld map. The type and formation of these viruses is picked at random, from a number of predefined options for the current area.

When he emerges victorious from a battle, MegaMan is graded with a rank (Busting Level) based on performance and usually receives a reward of Zennys or Battle Chips, depending on his Busting Level and the types of viruses he deleted.

Bosses

Bosses are strong, unique enemies, usually NetNavis controlled by other characters or operating on their own, who fought in oftentimes complex or pattern-heavy duels. Beating them may be required for progression, and may yield special rewards, like a unique BattleChip of the boss or another useful item.

To obtain all of these rewards, bosses typically need to be challenged multiple times, which can happen in different ways, depending on the type of boss.

Story Bosses

These bosses are fought at a certain point as part of the game's main story. They cannot be skipped, and most can only be refought by locating their "ghosts" hidden around on the internet, which are tougher versions of the boss that yield better rewards.
