Two Modes and one Rare Cyber-Elf can be unlocked, by clearing the game and meeting certain requirements. It is possible to unlock them all separately, as shown in the table below, but other ways are possible.

Game Goal Special requirements
1 - Normal mode Unlock Hard mode & Jackson cyber-elf Collect and raise every Cyber-Elf (requires 23150 EC), but use none.
Beat the game and continue/restart from the same Save File.
2 - Normal mode
with Jackson
Unlock Ultimate mode Beat the game using every Cyber-Elf (requires another 4500 EC for Jackson).
Hold R button when starting a new game.
3 - Ultimate Mode Obtain the codename: Immortal Clear seven mission in a row on level S.

Clearing the game at Rank A (or S) is not normally a requirement for Jackson, nor is successfully completing any missions. The only mode where those matter is Hard Mode, which inexplicably adds those extra requirements. This was tested across multiple playthroughs.

  • In Hard mode:
    • Weapons cannot earn experience and cannot be fully charged.
    • Elemental Chips cannot be used (exception: the Shield Boomerang).
    • You must clear the game at Rank A (or S) to get Jackson, in addition to what you would normally do on Normal mode.
  • About "Jackson mode":
    • Zero starts with the Jackson Cyber-Elf (plus all the cyber-elves he already collected).
    • The game is in the same mode (Normal or Hard) as the game that was cleared to unlock Jackson.
  • In Ultimate mode:
    • All cyber-elves with permanent effect are active without penalty on score.
    • Weapons are at max level since start.
    • Full-charged attacks can be instantly performed using button combinations.
