Mega Man Star Force 1 version differences
The first game in the trilogy, originally released for the Nintendo DS in 2007, introduces players to the core characters who appear throughout the series, including Geo, Omega-Xis, and various FMians. Star Force came in three different versions – Pegasus (blue), Leo (red), and Dragon (green) – each themed around a different satellite and elemental power: water, fire, and wood. While each version had unique content, the game’s ‘Brother Band’ system let you share benefits with friends who owned different versions. The games also included a training mode where you could earn exclusive battle cards, much like trading in the Battle Network series.

Star Force 2 is different from the first game in how it handles options. While it offers three selectable versions, only two were actually released. Each version includes a choice between two different games: Zerker, and either Saurian or Ninja. Each of these combinations essentially functions as a separate save file. Many of the unique features found in the original Star Force also appear in the sequel, though with some changes.
