Data Base (Mega Man & Bass)

The Data Base,In-game spelling used in all versions of the game. also known as Roll's CD collection,Mega Man & Bass English Instruction Booklet is a feature in Mega Man & Bass that allows the player to view data and pictures of Mega Man characters. In order to unlock the data, the player must recover the relevant data CDs in the game, which were stolen from Roll by King and are hidden in most of the game's stages.
==Data Base screen==
The Data Base screen can be accessed by selecting the "Data Base" text from the title screen, or the CD icon on the stage select screen (the latter will show a picture of Roll in place of the Robot Master portrait and the words "Data Base" instead of a stage preview). Data can be viewed by moving the cursor to a CD in the numbered list and confirming, then pressing up/down to scroll through information. Unread CDs are shown in yellow letters rather than light grey, and the shoulder buttons can be used to skip through the list faster.
On the right side of the interfact, the total number of CDs found is shown, as well as an animated portrait of Dr. Light urging the player to find more CDs or complimenting them on their progress. Found CDs are saved across files, but can be cleared by pressing L, R, Start and Select together on the save screen, which also returns the CDs to their original stage locations.
==List of CDs==
A total of 100 CDs can be found throughout the game's Robot Master stages and opening stage, containing data on most major characters from the Classic era up to this point. This data includes the subject's name and picture, a short description, a quote, a good point, bad point, like, dislike, as well as the CD's number. In Japanese versions of the game, serial numbers are additionally shown for most of the robot characters, though this info has been removed in the English localization for unknown reasons.
To collect certain CDs, a specific weapon, shop item and/or character may be required. Notably, many are hidden in the ground and require Rush Search to dig up, which can only be purchased from the shop by Mega Man. The CD Finder can locate these hidden CDs, though they can technically be dug up without the upgrade if the player knows exactly where to dig.
(Note that CDs designed with specific requirements in mind (other than Rush Search) may have other ways to obtain them, such as exploiting unintended game behaviour.)

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese version, all the information text is placed on a single "page" after the image portion, suggesting a two-sided card that is flipped from front to back. In the English localisation, this information is instead split across two pages, due to the English words requiring more space.
* Dr. Light and Dr. Wily are the only human characters featured in the Data Base, all others being robots.
* Some major characters and bosses are notably absent from the list, including Dr. Cossack (who is mentioned in Beat's description), Doc Robot and Dark Man. It also does not include any of the Robot Masters from Mega Man and Mega Man 3 for DOS.
* Many CDs' locations reference the nature or identity of their subjects, such as ice-themed Robot Master CDs being found in Cold Man's stage.
