-The primary set of Contest Weapons is obtainable at the [[Magic Card Casino]], after purchasing the Altered Key from [[Chance Man]] for 100 [[Trickster Token]]s. After opening the locked door on the top floor of the Casino, the Contest Weapon Data lies behind a corridor filled with portraits of the Robot Masters each weapon is derived from, with teleporters to their respective levels beneath them. In addition to nine entry Robot Masters, the three [[Make a Good Mega Man Robot Master]] contest winners also have weapons based on their submitted weapon concept, though their teleporters merely lead to the tier in which their level is hidden.

 Unlike in ''MaGMML2'', the Contest Weapons use their own ammunition pools separate from the normal weaponset, and Mega Man can switch between the two by either using the Select button in the pause menu, or by selecting the Contest Weapon Data icon in the Quick Item wheel.

 As many of [[Tier X (MaGMML3)|Tier X]]'s levels are designed around the Contest Weapons, collecting them is mandatory to access the tier; to that end, [[Ernest Will]] will give the Altered Key to Mega Man if he hasn't already purchased it after clearing the [[Wily Stadium]]. Possession of the Contest Weapons is also a prerequisite to the Pharaoh's Challenge minigame in the Magic Card Casino, as it relies extensively on [[Electro Cable]] and [[Track Shoes]].
-Upon collecting the Contest Weapon Data, the See You on the Flip Side achievement is awarded, and the Alter Playground opens up in the [[Weapon Tutorials]]; a teleporter to the latter is also included within the corridor.

 In addition to the Contest Weapons and Parallel Weapons, various other weapons based on entry bosses appear throughout the game; however, these are used by NPCs and are unobtainable:
 * Each of the five rivals uses four weapons based on entry bosses during their battles in [[The Greatest Show of All Time]]; however, their names are not revealed in game.
-* During his battle in the [[The Arena|Judges' Choice Arena]], Alter Man uses several of the Contest Weapons from ''MaGMML2''.

+Contest Weapons return in ''[[Make a Good Mega Man Level 3]]'', and are greatly expanded upon compared to previous games, in part as a result of the large increase of entry bosses. Multiple sets of Contest Weapons are present, some of which are inaccessible to the player.

-The '''Contest Weapon Data''', also known as '''alternate weapons''', or '''alter weapons''' for short, are a feature introduced in ''[[Make a Good Mega Man Level 2]]''. They are unique sets of unlockable Special Weapons that are typically based on the various Robot Masters showcased in the contest entries. Each weapon is designed and implemented by the devteam, and was not available for the entrants to use or test with during submission period; hence them being late-game unlockables.

-The Contest Weapon Data debuts in this game as an unlockable obtained by talking to Knight Man at the [[Chateau Chevaleresque]] upon having at least 170 Noble Nickels. He informs you about their use and gives you the ability to use them, along with the [[Alter Man]] [[Costumes|costume]]. The original and alternate weapon sets are mutually exclusive, and can be toggled between by pressing the Fire button on the pause menu. The Contest Weapons in this game are as follows:

-Each weapon acts as a fairly direct counterpart to a weapon in the original set, not only in terms of function but going so far as to share the same ammo count and weakness calculations. For example, [[Milk]] takes the same amount of damage from Neapolitan Bomb as it would take from the Grab Buster. [[Launch Rocket]] and [[Carry]] are the exceptions, as Carry cannot damage enemies, and Launch Rocket shares the same damage table as [[Grab Buster]] due to an oversight.
+Contest Weapons also face the same restrictions that are placed on the normal weapons for levels. For example, the only Contest Weapon that can be used in [[Quirky Unconsistent Incomprehensible Nonsensical Track]] is [[Force Beam]], due to it restricting every Special Weapon but [[Slash Claw]]. Furthermore, they are entirely disabled in [[Escape Sequence]], [[Inner Sanctum]], and while Mega Man is transformed into another Robot Master in [[Identity Crisis]] and [[Reality Core]].

+Only certain costumes can use Contest Weapons, due to the presence of aiming frames for [[Cyber Distorter]]. The costumes that can use alternate weapons are as follows: [[Mega Man]] (default), Super Saiyan Mega Man, Mega Man (Hair), [[Roll]], [[Bass]], [[Proto Man]], [[Cut Man]], Alter Man, Mega Man?, Rockman CX, Rokko Chan, and [[Zero]], along with certain [[Custom Costumes]] if a setting on the costume sheet is enabled.
 [[Destroyable Blocks]] are changed when Mega Man switches to the alternate set. They take on new sprites matching the alternate weapon corresponding to their corresponding normal weapon (Jewel Blocks will be replaced with Badge Blocks, for example). If Mega Man switches back to the default set, the blocks will also return to their default appearance.
-Switching to alternate weapons at any point during a playthrough of a stage forces you into an alternate leaderboard for speed runs, aptly named the "Alter Run" (or a cheat run if you're using those as well). This prevents you from registering times for normal, perfect, no-damage, buster-only, and no-death runs; however, they do not prevent you from clearing the [[Challenge Tent|Challenges]] for beating stages without taking damage.

 Unlike the ''MaGMML2'' weapons, [[Power Orb]] takes up its own weapon slot in the menu, and is entirely distinct from the weapon set otherwise, sharing no traits or damage tables with any other weapon. There is also no limitation on what costumes can use it, nor does using the weapon lock the player out of any leaderboard category.
-Due to being its own weapon, Destroyable Blocks are unaffected by equipping Power Orb, and Destroyable Blocks for Power Orb do not appear except when using the Power Orb Only [[Cheat Mode|cheat]].
