History VideoGame / MegaManStarForceDX

* MergingTheBranches: Rather than force you stay with one Admin for the entire game, the player can obtain all 3 Star Forces throughout the story. After completing the Star Trials, you have to fight Pegasus Magic and get the Pegasus form before the [=JammerG=]fight. After that, you fight Dragon Sky with Leo Kingdom being the last admin you fight. In the post-game, you can change your Transer and by extension which of the three Admins you can fight.

** Mr. Famous appears in the game in a robotic form, which is actually a reference to concept art that didn't appear in the game.

* NoFairCheating: Using the Brother mirror to create fake brothers means that their face pics will be grayscale, the mark of a cheater. Averted once you hit Lv.100, then your fake brothers regain their colours. Beating the game also unlocks some more face pics to use which yes, means you can form a Brotherband with Pat if you really wanted to.

** [[spoiler: Hollow]] is the only boss (aside from Andromeda) that doesn't have any battle cards of his own, meaning that you won't have to worry about having find any battle cards by defeating stronger versions of him due to him being quite tough in both his normal and [[spoiler:DX]] forms. He'll also hand out a Gemini Thunder Giga card when you defeat him, regardless of your rank.

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: One of the biggest changes in this mod compared to the original game is how it diversifies each Star Force form, so they play differently. Pegasus Form focuses on speed by allowing you move around much faster and automatically locking onto nearby targets, Dragon Form is defensive and is immune to status effects while also making the shield more useful by healing you by 25% of the damage you would've taken and if cancelled allows a brief moment of invincibility and Leo Form focuses on raw firepower and it's abilities double the player's attack and allows you to break through objects and shields.

* GoldColoredSuperiority: [[spoiler: The DX bosses will ''demolish'' you if you're not on your A game. You can play this trope straight yourself once you unlock the DX costume.]]

* PaletteSwap: [[spoiler: The DX bosses are simply golden versions of each boss, who are even stronger than their SP forms.]]

* {{Superboss}}: As in the original game, you can fight all 3 Satellite Admins in [[BonusDungeon Deepspace]].[[spoiler: Hollow makes his appearance as a postgame boss, originating from ''Star Force 2''. Furthermore, all of the bosses get DX forms; this is taken up to eleven with even the post-game bosses and the final boss getting DX forms as well.]]

* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler: Andromeda DX is the strongest version of the final boss, surpassing even Andromeda Infinity. Unlike the other version, Andromeda DX will start the fight already in its humanoid form and stay that way for the entire battle.]]

** [[spoiler: Hollow is the only boss (aside from Andromeda) that doesn't have any battle cards of his own, meaning that you won't have to worry about having find any battle cards by defeating stronger versions of him due to him being quite tough in both his normal and [[spoiler:DX]] forms. He'll also hand out a Gemini Thunder Giga card when you defeat him, regardless of your rank.

Furthermore, all of the bosses get DX forms; this is taken up to eleven with even the post-game bosses and the final boss getting DX forms as well.]]

* ContractualBossImmunity: The Green Dragon form inverts this by making the player immune to status effects, making it a more defensive form.

** If you find the Lunar Knight Brotherbands tedious to level up, you're allowed to use any of the Passwords from beating VideoGame/Lunar Knights to quickly level them up.

* TimeTrial: After beating [[spoiler: all 3 Satellite Admins, you can return to Deepspace 3 and talk to several golden Mr. Hertz who challenge you to beat each boss (except the final boss, the Admins and Hollow) within a few seconds.]]

* BossRush: The original endgame boss rush still applies here though [[spoiler: in Deepspace, a large Hertz will challenge you to take down every SP boss and the final boss in sequence. You can go further and challenge them all in DX form as well.]]

** The sidequest system was reworked so it'd be easier to keep track of which sidequests were available and which ones are active. If an NPC has a new quest to give you, a red ! icon will be overlayed on their Transer icon in the real world and if the sidequest is in progress, it'll change to a blue ... icon. Once done, the icon disappears to indicate that the NPC has no quest to give you.

* DiscOneNuke: Much like the original game, the BN Blaster is very useful for whittling down enemy HP despite it's low power and high charge time.

* MergingTheBranches: Rather than force you stay with one Admin for the entire game, the player can obtain all 3 Star Forces throughout the story. After completing the Star Trials, you have to fight Pegasus Magic and get the Pegasus form first. After that, you fight Dragon Sky with Leo Kingdom being the last admin you fight. In the post-game, you can change your Transer and by extension which of the three Admins you can fight.
