Trivia
- Eternal has been in development for six+ years.
- The Stage Selection functions very similar to Mega Man IV.
- Beat can be controlled manually for a 2-player mode. Beat is unlocked in this game by collecting all four BEAT letters.
- The Bass Stage was inspired by Area O from Mega Man ZX.
- In this game Bass' appearance changes without Treble's assistance.
- The Opening Stage music is a combination mix of the themes of Enker, Quint, Punk, Ballade, and Terra.
- This fan game features both past foes of the Game Boy series and the recycled bosses being redesigned for their boss encounter. Also, the final stages have two to four themes with different environment.
- Clamp Man's stage music appears to be based on Burst Man's theme.
- This game includes 10 secrets that can unlocked to enhance or change gameplay elements. One (for the first 9) is unlocked each time the game is completed while collecting all the BEAT letters. One secret is unlocked by obtaining all the art (and going to the gallery to grab a token that gives the secret).
- There are 110 unlockables in the game[1][2].
- There is one true ending upon unlocking all the secrets, art, and music while unlocking Beat. It is the only time Treble appears in the game.
- In the gallery there is an easter egg: Dr. Light can be shot, which causes him to hysterically bounce around the gallery. Upon enough hits, Dr. Light turns red and begins attacking the player with pulse attacks (in homage to the shopkeeper in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, and Cuccos in the The Legend of Zelda series).
- A contest[3] was held in 2010 for enemies to be included in the game. Many enemies seen in the game were a result of this contest and fan contributions.
- The Wily Machine Eternal is a tribute to the Gigantic Egg Robo in Sonic & Knuckles - one of the final bosses of that game.
- The game features the Mega Man 1 style spikes (instant death).
