Finally, you can make full use the weapons you pay for in Mega Man and Bass! Your movement speed, default weapon power, and attack capabilites can now be up to snuff for the post-Robot-Master-stages, and can seriously help with revisiting any stages later on in the game. Equipping multiple parts at once allows the player to be ready for both tackling obstacles/enemies and searching for hidden items. Anybody looking to play Mega Man and Bass will have a much better time using this hack than without it. I can also confirm that it is compatible with the 2002 translation, the title screen Addendum patch, and the Swap Characters on the Fly patch all at once (with no crashes or glitches).

I didn't run into any bugs while using this with the Aeon Genesis translation patch. I patched this after the translation (and in the middle of my playthrough of the game, as well, so I was surprised it worked so well). The game is significantly easier with the patch, but in my opinion it's still challenging enough to be fun. Your mileage may vary, of course. Definitely worth checking out on a replay, regardless.

I kind of wish the game had been balanced around this idea in the first place, it's just that much more fun for me.
