X_strategy

Plot: You are Mega Man X. You were found in a capsule by Dr. Cain. You are also a maverick hunter who is tracking down the most powerful one, Sigma.

Music: Some nice tunes. I really like Storm Eagle's theme and Boomer Kuwanger's. I give it a 9 out of 10!

Graphics: Great for it's time. The background is amazing! 8 out of 10

Suggested Order: Chill Penguin, Spark Mandrill, Armoured Armadillo, Launch Octopus, Boomer Kuwanger, Sting Chameleon, Storm Eagle, then Flame Mammoth.

Chill Penguin: When you enter the room turn back and keep wall jumping that wall. Chill will probably start by using his shotgun ice on you. Wait until he stops firing, then shoot. He will also slide pretty often, and when he does, get ready to shoot because he's always open at the end of it. Once in a while he will make ice sculptures that look like penguins, if you touch his breath when he does this, you will freeze. When he's done, he will usually jump to the top of the room and a fierce gust will blow the sculptures towards you. If you can, get him when he's at the top of the room. If you have flame mammoth's weapon, use that, but the same strategy.

Spark Mandrill: This guy is so easy. You just shoot him with shotgun ice and he freezes. Don't shoot too rapidly though.Wait till he puts his arms down, then shoot again.

Armored Armadillo: At the begining stay to the left and dodge his rolling attacks. When he stops, shoot him with the E. Spark and his armor will fall off. Keep shooting but wait until after he stops flashing. Jump over his plasma shots.

Launch Octopus: This guy is basically the toughest. Try your best to dodge his torpedos by jumping off walls to the other side of the room. Beware of his homing fish things and whatever you do, don't let him get you when he creates the whirlpool. If he does say bye bye to your health and expect his to come back. The best way to dodge this is by dashing in the other direction. his weakness is the rolling shield although nothing happens. If you have the boomerang cutter hit him with it a couple of time to cut his tentacles off!

Boomer Kuwanger: This guy is pretty easy. All ou have to do is run and jump a round (dodging) and shoot a couple homing torpedos until they hit him. You don't even have to aim it in his direction.

Sting Chameleon: Stay on the ground and hit him with the boomerang cutter when you get the chance. If he shakes the room then just keep moving back and fourth. Run to the opposite side of the room if he tries to sneak up on you and stay at the bottom corner of the opposite side of the room where he shoots his Chameleon sting.

Storm Eagle: When he starts blowing at you use your dash so you don't fall off. Do the same for when he uses his storm tornado it won't inflict damage. Dash around the place when he swoops down. When he sends little birds at you (It looks like he's hocking a loogie) try to shoot the egg before it hits the ground, that way you don't have to deal with the birds. Shoot him with the chameleon sting when you get the chance.

Flame Mammoth: Stay away from him as much as you can. Just shoot him with the storm tornado from far off. it should cause multiple hits. When he jumps, jump right before he lands otherwise the tremor will paralyze you for a second.

Vile: Use the Rolling Shield on him and jump when he shoots his paralyzing gun at the floor. NOTE: You actually fight Vile when he loses his mecha, don't waste your rolling shield on his mecha.

Spider: Shoot the spider with shotgun ice when it opens its back and reveals the red ruby thing. It will try to hit you by touching you so dodge as bet as you can. Be careful of the minispiders that are droped.

Face: Shoot the face with your chameleon sting. Aim for the eyes and nose thing when it opens. It is easier to kill the eyes first. Don't touch the teeth.

Dino Tank: Attack this things top half with the boomerand cutter. Wall jump to dodge it's giant energy ball.

Sigma's Dog: Attack the dog with shotgun ice. Dash to dodge most of it's attacks

Sigma: Attack Sigma with the E. spark and dash around to dodge his sword swipes. When he uses his gem to attack wall jump to dodge the beams.

Sigma w/ Armor: Dodge his big ball breath by nimbly dash jumping through it When he uses the fire breath flee to the other side of the room. Don't stay under his hand because they shoot lightning. When his hands go down to the middle jump on them and they will carry you up shoot sigma's head with the rolling shield. Don't stay on too long though or you'll get struck by lightning. Good Luck!

Capsule Locations: Boots: You need the boots to get the other capsules. It's in plain sight in Chill Penguin's level. You can't even pass it by.
Armor: It's in Sting Chameleon's level. Right before the cave with the falling rocks dash jump over the opening and into another room. You will have to fight a green thing. Attack its head and stay on the opposite side. After you beat it the capsule will pop out of the ground. Helmet: This one is in Storm Eagle's stage. After you get past all of the platforms you'll see a huge tower thingy. Climb it and slide down the opening. Then dash jump from it onto a ledge with the gas tanks. Keep shooting them until they explode. Walk through the tunnel you made and a capsule will pop out of the ground. Buster: This is in Flame Mammoth's stage. Before the construction guys there is a passage upwards that is filled with breakable blocks. You need the helmet to break them. Dash jump to them and break them with your boots and helmet. Wall jump up there and you'll find the capsule.

Heart Tank Locations: In Storm Eagle's stage climb to the top of the escalator things and dash jump to the left, keep going and you'll get it. In Armored Armadillo's stage, kill the second wall breaker and wall jump up to it. In Boomer Kuwanger's stage it is in plain sight on a ledge. You need the Boomerang Cutter to get it. In Spark Mandrill's stage it is also in plain sight. Use a dashing wall jump to reach it. In Launch Octopus' stage when you see falling torpedoes go back till you see one of those whirlwind things. Let it take you up to the ship. Destroy the ship and ride it down till you see an open(when it stops falling). Go in the opening and defeat the serpent. Keep going to the right and you will get it. In Sting Chameleon's stage there is a ditch before the cave where rocks fall. Go down it and break the walls. If you have beaten Launch Octopus you can dash jump to get it. To get the one in Chill Penguin's stage you need to have the fire wave. Get as far as you can in the robot ride armor then climb the coloumn and dash jump to your left. Break the igloos with the fire wave and one should have a heart tank. To get the one in Flame Mammoth's stage you need to have beaten Chill Penguin. It is under the worker dudes.

Sub Tank Locations: There is one in Storm Eagle's stage. Eventually you will see one of the blaster pod things on a coloumn that is moving up and down. Kill the blaster thingy and ride the coloumn up. Break the glass with your buster and keep going to find the tank. The next is in Armored Armadillo's stage. It's behind the first wall crusher thing. The next one is in Spark Mandrill's stage to get it you need the boomerang cutter. Go down the suspicious ladder at the begining of the level and use the b. cutter to get it. The last one is in Flame Mammoth's stage. In the area with the workers climb all the platforms and dash jump to the left. The tank is behind the blocks. Break the blocks then proceed to the tank.

Tips and Secrets: Charge to the fullest and charge often.
You can charge yor special weapons after you get the arm/buster upgrade.
If you can't get the buster upgrade from the capsule, don't worry, you'll get it from Zero.
Okay, here it is. The biggest secret of the game. The hydoken fireball(yes, it is an attack that Ryu and Ken use in Street Fighter). It has the power to defeat any enemy in one hit. And that includes Sigma(the second time you can't reach his head though). To get it, you have to have everything. All the heart tanks, subtanks, and all the bosses defeated. Your subtanks have to be full, too. The capsule for it is located in Armored Armadillo's stage. You have to have full health before you get to it or else it won't be there. When you are on the rolling thing that takes you out of the mines, dash jump when you get to the highest point. If you don't make it all the way then just wall jump to get there. The capsule should be in the little opening. Dr. light is wearing a suit just like Ryu. To execute the move you push these buttons, down, down-right, right, then Y. You can only use the move when you have full health. It's great to use against Sigma and his dog.
