Headscratchers / Mega Man Battle Network 3: White and Blue

Go To

  • Evil organization out to unleash some cyber Eldritch Abomination that devastated the net years before. It got sealed away and the keys to break the seal were hidden throughout the world. Standard stuff.... Here's a question. This is a relatively advanced society. Why would they hide the keys to a monster that could blow the world to hell in a school computer, a zoo, and a hospital?
    • Well would you look there? Besides, in BN 1 the Fire Program was inside Lan's oven. That's even worse.
    • Also, we never actually see the facilities used to hide the TetraCodes themselves. It's possible there's military-grade security behind that one door in the school you can't open, that one building in the zoo with no windows, and one of the floors in the hospital you don't ever see.
    • The adults in this universe have proven themselves (on numerous occasions, I might add) to be complete idiots.
    • Of course they seem odd. Their seeming unfittingness really a point in their favor, since most people pass by them, unconcerned. The problem arises in that Wily happens to know exactly where to look (and that's still entirely justifiable, given how intimate Wily is related with the history of the game's world). For example, if Wily knew that Dr. Hikari has hidden the Fire program somewhere in his house, it would be more fitting than the plan he and Match build around the fact that it's hidden in the oven.
      • It would have been nice, of course, to have these choices explained, however.
      • Actually, when you think about it, it can't be explained as it is illogical to hide something so important in a place so easy to access, but when you think about it, that's exactly it, if you were to hide something that can destroy the world, the last place people would think to look for is possibly the most obvious, easyly-accessible place.
  • Right after the Hopeless Boss Fight against Bass, an unnamed, generic Navi shows up. Said Navi then uses Dark Aura and says that even if the whole cyberworld collapsed, he'd be safe. The problem is that in gameplay Dark Aura vanishes if it is hit by an attack that does at least 300 damage. So why doesn't the whole cyberworld collapse every time Lan pulls out the Lifesword program advance or any other heavy-hitting attack?
    • It's called "hype", yo.
