Ultimate armor for Megaman: Start a new game. Highlight Megaman at the character
selection screen, then press [Up] two times then [Down]
nine times. A sound will confirm correct code entry. Press [Enter]
to begin game play with his Ultimate armor. This armor has unlimited
Giga attacks. ZERO8964.
Black armor for Zero: Start a new game. Highlight Zero at the character selection
screen, then press [Down] two times then [Up] nine
times. A sound will confirm correct code entry. Press [Enter]
to begin game play with his Black armor. ZERO8964
Ultimate armor for X: Start a new game. Highlight X at the character selection
screen, then press [Up] two times then [Down] nine
times. A sound will confirm correct code entry. Press [Enter]
to begin game play with the Ultimate armor. Kiyoko Yu.
Zero's Supreme Slash: Either press Dash + Slash, or press Forward,
Forward + Slash. Note: This is the best to finish
some of the Bosses.
Zero's Sabre Slash on Bosses: Usually you can do up to 3 or 4 hit combo on any Boss.
However, the Final Slash will paralyze the Boss for awhile, which
prevents you from slashing it during this time. To avoid this,
hit the Boss with a 2 or 3 hit combo and do not use the Final
Slash. It would be better if you used Zero's Supreme Slash.
Hint: Alternate second half: If you let the colony collide with the Earth (let all
the time run out), an intermission where Zero is infected with
the Sigma virus and becomes a powerful Maverick will appear. For
the rest of the game you cannot choose Zero and the dialogue changes
for a few of the intermissions. Also, Zero fights more aggressively
and uses different attacks when you fight him in the third Maverick
level.
To get this faster, launch the shuttle before you have collected
all the parts for it. This will also display an intermission where
Zero goes Maverick and gives you the ending where X's memory of
Zero is wiped clean. What you do with the Enigma does not matter.
Hint: Easy Zero stages: The following is an easy way to get through the first
of the three Zero Stages. At the first stage where all the green
lasers that can kill you instantly are, use Dark Hold. It stops
the lasers and gives you time to get through everything.
Hint: Zero and Bosses: Do not use Zero in a stage with a Boss. Zero always
retires (dies) in the stage. hank.
Hint: Defeating Dark Dizzy: Shoot the F-Laser with X standing at the center of
the screen. Guide it under him, then have it turn around and go
the other way. If timed correctly, Dark Dizzy will move into the
tail of the laser, but your laser will not be used up. You can
do this either under him or beside him. Yolu will have to guess
whether he will move up/down or to the side.
Hint: Defeating second Zero Virus stage
Boss: The Boss of the second of the Zero Virus Stages (the
big face from Megaman X) has three weaknesses. The red
and green eyes are weak to C-Shot, the blue eye is weak to Ground
Fire, and the nose is weak to Goo Shaver.
Hint: Ultimate armor for X or Zero: Go past all of the spike traps in the third Sigma level.
You will reach what appears to be a pit. Slide down the right
side of it until you fall into a room that contains a capsule.
Step into the capsule to obtain the armor. When playing as X,
you will have to intentionally die and restart the level to use
it. Zero will automatically equip it.
Get to the third Sigma level as normal X or Zero. When you get
to a hole after some spikes, slide down the right side of the
wall until you go through it. Dr. Light will have a capsule with
Zero's black armor or the ultimate armor. After you get it, fall
through the hole until the game ends. Go to stage selection and
use the opposite character. JrBond010.
Hint: Get all the armors for X and Zero:
Start the game with X and make sure you have the Fourth
Armor. After destroying the colony (make sure Zero does not become
Maverick), go to the third Maverick stage with either X or Zero.
After getting the armor, die constantly and go to stage selection
screen when the game ends. Then, go to the stage again, but with
the other hunter. For example, if you went with Zero first, then
go with X next or vice versa. Look at the left side of the stage
selection screen to find the Fourth Armor, Black Zero, Ultimate
Armor, Gaea Armor (if you have it), and Falcon Armor (if you have
it).
Use the following trick to eventually collect all armors possible
(with sacrificing Z-Buster and regular Red Armor). Start as Mega
Man without enabling the Ultimate Armor code. You should already
have the fourth armor. Then, collect the Gaea armor and Falcon
armor as usualYou should now have the Fourth, Gaea, and Falcon
armors. Work your way to the third Zero virus levels. It should
have a red background. There is a location in the level with spikes
on the top and bottom. There is a moving platform, and to the
right of that is a narrow path with spikes on top and bottom to
the right of that (on the regular path). Pass that section. Immediately
after that should be a pit with a platform on the left wall of
it that remains still. Slide down the right wall and you should
eventually reach a part where there is a concealed room in the
wall that you can see. The wall is hollow and you can slip through
it. Inside will be a capsule. If you have unarmored X, then you
should be able to get the Ultimate armor. You should now have
the Fourth, Gaea, Falcon, and Ultimate armor. If you have Zero
in that pit, you will get the Black armor. You will now have all
possible armors: Fourth, Gaea, Falcon, Ultimate, and Black, also
including regular X. It is recommended that you use Zero for the
level. However, before picking him, go in the level with unarmored
X and get his armor. Then, die and get Zero and his armor. It
will appear on him immediately so you do not have to quit to get
it, then go to fight X. Also, the Black armor is different from
Mega Man X4's Black armor. It has an enhanced dashing ability
with a purple boost. Also, an enhanced color of the armor actually
powers up the body. It also powers up the Z-Saber to an almost
invincible power that can destroy viruses without Virus Buster.

Hint: Falcon armor:
Legs: In Grizzly Slash's area, after the train section in the
caves there is a opening -- use C-Sword.
Body: In Duff McWhalen's area where the water drains, use G-Shaver
and open the blocked Capsule.
Head: In Squid Adlers's area, collect all the E. Spheres on the
bike ride.
Arms: In Izzy Glow's area, after the spiral stairs, destroy the
Plazma Cannon and get the arms once past.
Alternately, use the following directions:
Boots: Grizzly Slash's area. After you get off the train, keep
moving and you will see a hole in the roof. The boots are up there.
Armor: Duff McWhalen;s area. It is easy to locate in the part
where the water has drained. You will see a cracked wall and a
small device behind it. Charge up McWhale's power (assuming you
have it) and try to destroy the little device.
Helmet: Squid Adler's area. Collect all the blue things at the
jet bike part of the level to destroy the wall concealing the
Helmet.
X-buster: Izzy Glow;s area. During the part with the strange things
in the walls that shoot at you, there is a hole in the ceiling.
Climb up and shoot at the wall thing at the top with the C-Shot.
The armor is on the other side.
Hint: Gaea armor:
Head: Before Dark Dizzy's chamber is a pit. Go in and use the
F-Laser to blow it up from inside.
Body: Just Before the third lift, use the Falcon armor to find
the well hidden Capsule.
Arms: Instead of going up the end vines, keep moving right and
use double jump.
Legs: During the second rope climbing section there is a opening.
Fly up with the Falcon armor and get the legs.
When you have the Gaea armor, it will not let you manually charge
up. However, if you go into the options and select "Auto
charge" and turn it on, it will charge up and you can use
charge attack. Chad Pritchard.
Hint: Ultimate armor: In Maverick Area 3, immediately before the end, is
a platform over a pit. Fall, stay to the right, and go through
the fake wall.
Hint: Armor comparisons:
Force armor (Fourth armor): Obtained at the start of the game.
Note: If you chose Zero, you will not get it. Advantages: Charged
shots are more powerful. You can charge special weapons. You can
hover in the air for a short time by jumping twice. Disadvantages:
Not identical to Megaman X4's version.
Falcon armor: Obtained by collecting the four capsules. Advantages:
You can fly for a short time by jumping twice. While flying, you
are invincible. Giga attack covers whole screen. Weapon energy
is increased. Disadvantages: Cannot charge special weapons. Mega
shot is very small. Defense is cut in half.
Gaea armor: Obtained by collecting the four capsules. Note: You
cannot get this armor without getting the Falcon armor first,
since you need it to reach the capsules. Advantages: Increased
defense. Charged shot is very instant and powerful. Giga attack
destroys all enemies in front of you. Spikes do not hurt you.
You can stick to walls. You can walk on spikes. Disadvantages:
Shots do not travel across the screen. No middle charge shot.
Very slow. Cannot use special weapons. Fall faster. Regular shots
are weak.
Ultimate armor: Obtained by getting the capsule in the third Zero
stage.
Hint: Magma Dragoon Hadouken Fireball:
At the end of the training mission, you will fight
Magma Dragoon. While fighting him he will use the Hadouken ability,
along with the voice from Mega Man X, when you get that
ability. Shock.
Hint: Enhance Zero's power: To make Zero stronger, get the capsule in the third
Zero stage (where X's Ultimate Armor is located.) Zero will become
black. He can destroy viruses, take less damage, and inflict more
damage. Note: This is not an armor. Zero will remain like this.
Hint: Best weapon: Use the Gala attack with the Ultimate Armor to have
the best weapon that defeats most Bosses, including Sigma (both
rounds). Keep using that attack, which is unlimited. Be careful
with Sigma, as he keeps moving around.
Hint: Rank PA: As Zero, first fight Dynamo after defeating Izzy Glow
and some other Boss. Fight Dynamo with Zero using Izzy's weapon
until he dies. After that, you will move up to GA. The second
time, fight Dynamo with four or more heart upgrades, and both
E-Tanks and the W-tank full. If you fought in excellent time with
about 19 or less damage, you should get the PA rank. The rules
for keeping a PA rank are very difficult. If you die twice, or
exceed six minutes of game play in the level you will lose it.
As X, this can be very difficult at first. You must have all that
Zero had and the Ultimate armor. X's rank must be at GA before
the event. This time, you will use Nova Strike (Giga Attack L2).
Hint: Save a life: After Zero becomes a Maverick you get a new stage.
Enter the stage and climb the wall to your left. Collect the helmet
(extra life) located there. When you lose a life, you can get
it again and you will have the same lives that you started with.
Start with Megaman and complete the game with him. You will get
an ending where Megaman has no memory of Zero.
Start with Zero and complete the game with him. You will get the
ending where both Megaman and Zero die.
Start with Zero and complete the game with Megaman. You will get
the ending where Megaman has Zero in his memory and holds Zero's
saber.
Hint: Megaman X2 battle:
Keep Zero from going maverick and go to the third
Sigma stage as Megaman X. Complete the stage and you will fight
Zero. Zero has almost the same exact pattern as he did when you
fight him in Megaman X2.
Hint: Destroying the colony: To destroy the colony, get the it as close as possible
wqth at least 3 parts -- i.e. the lower the hours, the better
the chance of destroying the colony with the Enigma.
As Black Zero, destroy the mavericks in this order: Izzy Glow,
Squid Alder, Duff McWallen, and Grisly Slash.
Hint: Dash Jump: Use the following trick to reach a high ledge or jump
to the next wall. Hold Dash and perform a jump to automatically
do a Dash Jump. This is very helpful, as it also works on walls.
Hint: Raise your speed: Note: To do this trick you have to be at the third
Maverick stage. Drop down and go to the part where you face the
green robot. Stay there and a group of white dots will appear.
Face each of them. Keep doing this and your speed pushing buttons
will increase. The best character to use is Zero.
Hint: Virus advantages: When playing as X, if you get hit by the Sigma Viruses,
you will lose health. However, when playing Zero, he will gain
full health if this happens. Jeramy Devlin.
Hint: Recommended level order: Grizzly Slash, Duff Mcwhalen, Squid Adler, Izzy Glow,
Dark Dizzy, The Skiver, Mattrex, and Axle The Red.
Hint: Defeating Bosses:
Grizzly Slash: Spike Ball/Twin Dream
Duff McWhalen: C-Shot/C-Sword
Squid Adler: G-Shower/F-Splasher
Izzy Glow: Tri-Thunder/E-Blade
Dark Dizzy: F-Lazer/C-Flasher
The Skiver: Dark Hold
Mattrex: Wing Spiral/W-Shredder
Axle The Red: Ground Fire/Quake Blazer
Rock Monster: Tri-Thunder
Robo Mask: X-Buster/Z-Saber
Zero or X: F-Lazer/C-Flasher
Sigma 1: Tri-Thunder/Electric Uppercut
Sigma 2: X-Buster/Z-Saber
After the intermission sequence when you complete the first stage,
Alia will explain which Maverick had which item to complete and
upgrade The Enigma. She will introduce the following in this order:
Grizzly Slash, Duff McWhalen, Squid Adler, and Izzy Glow. This
is a hint to tell you which Maverick is weak against which Maverick's
weapon. First, start off with Grizzly Slash. After you complete
the level, use the weapon that you get from him and defeat Duff
McWhalen. Use the weapon you get form Duff McWhalen to defeat
Squid Adler, etc. Cruz663.
Hint: Defeating Izzy Glow: Izzy Glow's weakness is the Tri-Thunder, but the C-Sword
does more damage. It just does not paralyze him, so you can hit
him again sooner. If you keep hitting him constantly, the battle
will be over in less than 30 seconds.
Hint: Megaman X4 appearance:
Start a training level with X or Zero. Get to the
end of the level to find Magma Dragoon, a maverick from Megaman
X4. Also, make it to Maverick Base level 3. Play this level
as Zero to fight X, who will use moves from Megaman X4
such as Soul Body, Frost Tower, and Double Cyclone.
Hint: Guns And Roses reference:
The Mavericks, except for The Skiver, are all named
after members from the band Guns And Roses. Mariano Fernandez.
