Huh? There are more pages to the shop?

Huh? There are more pages to the shop?
If you really had to ask that, then open your eyes, dummy. There's a 1/3 page indicator at the bottom of the screen. Still, there's a locked item on the first page, so, onto the actual unlock requirements!

Page 1
Requirement
Pierce Protector
Die to spikes five times.
Page 2
Energy Balancer
None.
Energy Balancer NEO
Buy the Energy Balancer.
Auto Charge Chip
None.
Buster Plus Chip
Fire the buster 500 times. Doesn't do what it advertises.
Power Shield
Take 200 cumulative points of damage.
Spike Boots
None.
Shock Absorber
None.
Speed Gear Booster
Activate Speed Gear 50 times. I imagine you can just spam the button a bunch.
Energy Dispenser
None. Starts you at 4 HP for the stage. This is low enough to use the Double Gear technique.
Awakener Chip
Beat the game. Gives you infinite weapon energy by making your weapons cost nothing - even if the gauge is empty from previous use, you can still use them.
Page 3
Screw Catcher
Apparently only available on saturdays? I couldn't get it to spawn in the shop, so that requires further investigation. It spawned for me on Saturday, October 13th, 2018, so I imagine it only shows up on certain saturdays. I've had it be a saturday and not show up, so if you have that problem, wait a week.
Energy Catcher
Get 10 game overs.
Capsule Catcher
Empty out 30 special weapon gauges. Rush's gauge counts, if you're grinding it.
Cooling System
Activate the Double Gear system in general 100 times. Again, I imagine you can just spam the button.
Cooling System ∞
Beat the game. This makes it so that your Gear Gauge never fills up. The Double Gear technique, using both gears at low health, still runs on a time limit, but the single gear modes don't.

Also, if you're having trouble getting enough bolts to buy things, try going to Block Man's stage repeatedly. At the start, if you're not playing on Superhero mode, there's a 100 bolt pickup within reach of the Rush Coil. Additionally, if you have the Pile Driver, you can just jump as high as possible from the first screen, use Power Gear, and Pile Drive four times to land on the platform with the bolt pickup. Grab it, exit the stage, go back in, and repeat.

2025 here and Getting an item to appear for getting 10 game overs is still really evil not gonna lie.

The Power Shield actually unlocks by getting hit 200 times and not taking 200 points of cumulative damage. This seems to be an error on every guide I've seen.

Wish these were always unlocked not gonna lie. The shop system in 11 is weird. It is my favorite and not at the same time. I love the amount of items you can buy and how fast it is to buy them BUT I also don't like how you need to unlock them and how some of them are just megaman's basic abilities from 9 and 10 (no recoil for charge shot for example).

Ohhh, thanks!

@Strix Struma - No. Just unequip the Awakener chip. You're able to do that - dig around in the menus and you'll figure out how.

I just got the Awakener Chip without knowing how to unlock Capsule Catcher. Is it now impossible to get it?

You can Chance the Day in the System Time to Buy the Screw Catcher

The Mystery Chip is always available, my dude. The page 1 discount happens on saturdays when the Screw Catcher is supposed to show up. And if that's wrong, it probably happens either every five or six days, or just at random. :lifterblock:

You're forgetting the mystery chip on page 3. I'm not 100% certain on this, but I think it cuts the screw cost of various page 1 items when it triggers?

Screw Catcher only shows up if you visit Light's Lab on a Saturday (based on your System's clock), he'll say he made a new breakthrough and that's when you know you can get it.

Buster Plus doesn't increase its power, but just widens the fully charged shot a bit. it's comparable to how the Mega Buster's fully charged shot in Mega Man 5 is wider than Mega Man 6.

Energy Dispenser instantly drops you to Critical Health when you activate it.
