Mega Man's Soccer and Mega Man X3 have more than one valid password for the same point. Passwords were replaced by saves due to the increase in memory and games becoming more complex for a password screen, which would result in more complex password screens like the one in Mega Man's Soccer. Also, some games may not record specific items in passwords, examples being the Tanks from Mega Man 4 to Mega Man 6, the Turbo Accelerator in Mega Man IV and V, and the Hyper Chip in Mega Man X3. Final stages had to be cleared in one playthrough to make them more challenging, exceptions being Mega Man X2 and the special password from Mega Man 7. Most platform Mega Man games only recorded the progress from the Stage Select Screen and carried items, including Special Weapons, the currency ( Screws or P Chips) gathered, and Armor Parts.

The passwords are made of dots, icons, or numbers, depending of the game. To continue from a specific point, players must input the password in the Password Screen. Before save files were added, passwords ( パスワード, passwords ) were used to record the game's progress after completing a stage or after a Game Over in most Mega Man games released for NES, SNES, Game Boy and Game Gear, as well as Street Fighter X Mega Man.
