| - The Party Battle System is a unique feature introduced in the DS version of Mega Man Battle Network 5. Using this system, outside of storyline events, MegaMan can battle alongside the image data of up to 2 of his teammates, and even unleash certain combination attacks. When the Party Battle System is first introduced, only the leading Navi of the player's selected version (ProtoMan.EXE or Colonel.EXE) can be added to the party. As the player continues to liberate Nebula-controlled areas during the storyline, the newest teammate gets added to the party. After the liberation of Oran Area 3, a warp appears in Lan's HP which leads him to a machine where MegaMan can change his party or restore deleted image data. From this point onwards, during a Liberation Mission, if multiple team members are occupying the same tile, and a Liberate command is issued, the player can also choose to use the Party Battle System for that one Liberation attempt, using up to two team members. This comes at the cost of using up all participants' actions simultaneously.
