Alternate
Zero armors: Successfully complete the game under the easy, normal, and hard
difficulty settings. Then, press Start and press L or R
until you get to a menu with Zero's helmet with a different color. There are
pink, black, and red versions.
Hint:
Using the Whip: Not only can the Whip get far items, but it can also move some
heavy cubes and perform a swinging move. Hold B while in the air, and
when it grapples onto something, press Left or Right to swing.
Release B to let go the Whip.
Hint:
Gain more level with Chain Rod: Keep hitting on a life or money object to earn more attack
points.
Hint:
Easy lives: Keep returning to The Desert Ambush to gain more 1-ups.
Go to the Ice Temple multiple
time to get the lives there.
Go to the Polar Freeze zone. On
the second ice blocks, dash until you get to the fourth block and grab the
extra life. Note: Defeat the Boss and escape repeatedly to get a lot of
lives.
Hint:
Combo: Equip Ultimate Form, then use Buster Shot. Keep pressing Down/Forward
+ B (for Buster attack). Anything in front of you will be
obliterated.
Equip all the EX-Skills. Dash
and Z-Saber, then hold Up and Z-Saber, and hold Down and press
Z-Saber.
To Equip Chain Rod as R
and Z-Saber as B, hold B + R until they fully charge.
Then, release B then R. Note: This is a close range attack.
Hint:
Forest Of Dysis: Rare elf: The rare elf "Zero" is found in Forest Of Dysis (the
stage with the forest) when in easy mode. Once you are in the inside part of
the stage where you fight the statue that raises water and throws purple
beams, destroy the statue. Afterwards, jump the pit and slide on the left
side wall through a secret passage. Keep sliding down and on the way you
should find the rare elf. If you keep sliding down, you will reach a secret
area with lots of crystals and an extra life.
Hint:
Crystal Caves: Secret area: When you start, go up the hill and destroy two robots. Then, go
down but watch out for the spikes at the bottom of the hill. Start going up
the second hill. Jump on the ledge but do not jump over the ledge. Instead,
slide down the wall on the right in the pit and keep holding it. You should
go into a secret area that has a cyber-elf capsule and a life. Note: When
you get out, you will need the light-blue armor. If you do not have it, you
will fall into the spikes.
Hint:
Sand Wilderness: Extra life: First, talk to the Operator and transfer yourself to Sand
Wilderness (the first area that you are in). There is an extra life hidden
there. It is after the second mini-Boss, after the bird in its nest next to
a gunman, but before the two birds in one nest. You will find it when you
are there; it should be in an opening under the gunman.
Hint:
Sand Wilderness: Not what it looks like: In the Sand Wilderness (the desert area) there are
mecha-vultures. They launch from what appears to be a nest, but it is
actually the ruined remains of an enemy robot.
Hint:
Defeating Bosses: For easy wins against most Bosses, charge the Z-Saber and attack
the Boss. Keep hitting him and, with five or six hits, he will be destroyed.
Hint:
Defeating Scorpion Hunter: At the end of the starting stage, you will face a Scorpion. This
arachnid will block your buster shots with his claw-shield, as well as
launch it at you. Trying to avoid that projectile slows down the battle, but
there is a way around it. When the Scorpion launches his claw-shield at you,
attack it with your Saber. It should take two or three hits with the Proto
Form active in Hard mode. You might receive some damage while doing this,
depending on your timing. When the claw-shield is destroyed, the Boss is
pretty much open to attacks. Just dash in and hack his head with your Saber,
or shoot from a distance with your Buster (the Saber works faster). This
will cut the battle down drastically.
Hint:
Buster Shield: Attach Buster Shot as your main weapon, and Sheild Boomerang as
your sub-weapon. Enter attack mode B, then hold R and press B.
Note: You can charge the Buster Shield.
Hint:
Final mastery: When battling the final Boss, try this strategy. When he rises
slightly higher into the air, dash under him and use the Upward Slash
technique, which requires the Fire Chip equipped and the
"Tenshouzan" EX skill. Also, try using the Active Form, as it is
the fastest form in the game. This lets you get in and out faster. This will
do an excellent amount of damage, and is fairly safe if you know what you
are doing.
Hint:
Ultimate form moves: You can have special moves when in ultimate form. Two of them are
Down/Forward + B with the Saber equipped, and Down/Forward
+ B with the Buster equipped. The saber one uses the charged saber
attack without charging; the same with the Buster.
Hint:
Elemental Chips and Ex-abilities: You can use certain Elemental Chips with Zero's Ex-abilities.
Thereis no need to charge up the Z-Saber (except for the Z-Buster).
Fire chip Press Up + Attack (similar to Zero's X4 move).
Charged Buster (sparks are left after hitting an enemy)
Lightning chip Press Dash + Attack (a lightning sword pierces through
an enemy)
Charged Buster (a ball of electricity)
Ice chip Press Down + Attack in mid-air (another of Zero's X4
move).
Charged Buster (turns into three rays; X3's Sting Chameleon)
Normal chip Charged Buster (laser shot in Megaman 8)

Glitch:
Moving Zero: Stand on the Transerver just enough to talk to the commander.
When it turns back to Zero, he will be in the middle.
Glitch:
Misspelling: When you defeat every Boss, X will appear and start talking about
the Dark Elf. He explains that he is trying to keep her asleep and says
"With my remaining power, I'm still TYING NOT WAKE her up...,"
instead of "With my remaining power, I'm still TRYING NOT TO wake her
up..."
After defeating the four bosses
on the monitors, there is a scene where Elpizo tells the members of the
resistance to fire at Neo Arcadia. Ciel comes in with the Scientist and
tells Elpizo to give them time (or something similar). Before Elpizo
teleports, he says "Don't worry. We can work this OUR later",
instead of "We can work this OUT later."
