Other Items

Mega Man 8 had a whole slew of its own special items, each of them having to be acquired at Mega Man's home using bolts. Mega Man and Bass shared many of those same items—but it had some unique items for Bass as well. Below are those items. Descriptions of what they did in both games will be combined into one.
