Hint:
Ninth Capsule: There is a secret Dr. Light capsule in the game which gives you
the Hadoken and Shoryuken. It is on the third Sigma stage as X, just
before you would go and battle with Velcana. There is a long vertical
corridor with the rocket platforms you have to climb up (because both
sides of the room are electrified). At the very top, Air Dash right
through the electric wall into a room with Dr. Light. He will give you the
Hadoken and Shoryuken. To use them, charge up the X-Buster to maximum.
Then, press Up + A to do the Shoryuken and Down + A
to do the Hadoken.
Hint:
Boss attack mode armor: Press Select when starting Boss attack mode to give X
his armor.
Hint:
Extra lives: Use the following trick to easily get the maximum number of
lives, nine, with Zero or when playing in Xtreme mode. Go to Zero's first
level. Near the beginning there is a part where you have to ride on a
platform. Instead of getting on the one that goes to the right, get on the
one that goes up. There will be an area there that has an extra life.
Collect the extra life then exit the level. Note: You must have already
completed the level on order to exit. Then, return and repeat until you
have nine lives.
Hint:
Get Laser Enhancer for X without getting his head part: If you want to get everything but the head part for X (you do
not need to get the head part), you need to have the machine which enables
you to switch between X and Zero. With X, jump, then jump again on the
side of the blocks that break. While you are on the side still jumping,
switch to Zero. Zero must have his head part in order for this to work.
Start jumping and crushing the blocks with Zero, then change to X and get
the Arm Enhancer.. This useful because when you get fourth armor, you can
only hold two parts. However, if you have every piece of armor except the
head, you can still hold four parts. The head is only useful for getting
the arm enhancer. It is much easier to defeat Bosses holding four parts.
Hint:
Blast Hornet stage: Easy DNA Souls: Play the stage as Zero. When you get to the room with four guns
and mini bees that are after you, destroy a few guns (but leave at least
one gun). If you have the X/Zero Switch, use Zero. Dodge all the guns'
bullets and kill every bee that attacks you. Almost every bee will have a
DNA Soul for you to take. Keep doing this for an easy way to get power ups
from Iris.
Hint:
Fire Mammoth stage: Capsule and Energy Tank: The Capsule is located just before the lava starts to erupt.
There are some blocks that can be broken with the helmet and foot part.
Move all the way up to the left to see some of the same blocks. Break
those for the Energy Tank.
Hint:
Flame Mammoth stage: Mega Man X's arm upgrade: There is a point in the level where you approach a pit from the
left. On the right is a health restore. Go down the pit and walk a little
farther to see some blocks. Using the leg and helmet upgrades, break them
to find the capsule.
Hint:
Flame Mammoth stage: Easy Souls for Parts: As X, go onto the conveyor belt and kill the laser robot or the
trashed robot for easy Souls. It is possible to do it with Zero, but you
must start a regular game, get the X/Zero switch, and use that there or
play in extreme mode and kill the robots. It is best to use X's charged up
Buster Shot. Use it when you are about to fall off the conveyor belt to
hit two robots.
Hint:
Flame Mammoth stage: Extra lives: Play as X. When u get to the part where the bridges have
exploding fireballs, jump up on the first bridge. Jump up to the left and
do a wall kick all the way up until you see some blocks. Wall kick them to
get extra lives.
Hint:
Launch Octopus stage: Mega Man X's body armor: There is a boat in the level that drops bombs. Get on top of it
and destroy the object that resembles an eye. Then, blow it up, sink down,
and fall in the hole it made. Fight the mini-Boss and shoot at its head.
After you kill it, you will get a lot of DNA Souls. Go to the right to
find the body armor.
Hint:
Launch Octopus stage: Diamonds and Crystals: The best way to get Diamonds and crystals when playing as X is
on the Launch Octopus stage. On the huge ship you destroy to get the Body
Armor, do not destroy the ship. Instead, stand at the left side away form
the jumping mines on the right, and keep jumping and shooting the
Heli-Bots. They will almost always produce Blue, Yellow, and Gold
Crystals. Depending on how many DNA Souls you need, this may take a large
amount of time. When you get the amount needed, destroy the ship by
hitting the cockpit and fall straight down. Then, destroy the Spike Snake
when he is over land (also the second one at the end). After that, destroy
the Launch Octopus and get even more Crystals, a level complete, and the
Marine Tornado.
Hint:
Launch Octopus stage: Take off Launch Octopus' arms: When battling the Launch Octopus, attack him until he is nearly
dead. Then, use Ray Claw and attack him. His arms will begin to fall off.
Note: After this, he will start to shoot missiles non-stop at you.
Hint:
Neon Tiger stage: Capsule: You will see a Capsule located inside some wood. Use the fire
to break through.
Hint:
Neon Tiger stage: Mega Man X's helmet: The helmet is located behind a log. Use flame to get it.
Hint:
Volt Catfish stage: Mega Man X's leg upgrade: There is a part of the level where you have climb a lot of
pipes. At the very end is a waterfall. Climb the wall to the left of the
waterfall to get the leg upgrade.
Hint:
Wire Sponge stage: Cut Wire Sponge in half: When battling the Boss, he will get angry and turn red. This is
your chance to do it use the Flame Mammoth technique. Hit him and he will
begin to get chopped.
Hint:
First Guardian stage: Zero's leg part: There is a point in the level where you to use a moving
platform to get up. After one passes, jump down the pit and go down to the
right side to find a hallway. The capsule is at the end.
Hint:
Second Guardian stage: Zero's part: There is a point towards the end of the level where you destroy
three enemies and the platform collapses. Do not destroy them. Instead, go
past them to find some boxes. Use the drill to destroy them. The capsule
is behind them.
Hint:
Third Guardian stage: Zero's part: There is an area in the level where you are on a big ramp.
Airdash on the end of it and go left. You will see a ladder. Climb it to
find the capsule.
Hint:
Fourth Guardian stage: Zero's part: After you get the Ride-In armor, drop down and go to the left.
Hop out after you have gone the farthest you can. Use the lightning attack
to break down the blocks to find the capsue.
Hint:
Strong attacks:
S.Chain: Go to Boss Attack.
Press Select when you are going in to be in armor. Then, select
S.Chain, charge it up, and a huge chain will come out.

S.Chain and three bees will appear, circle you, then disappear.
S.Slicer: Do the same as
the others and a slicer will appear, fly up, then come back down as

and use the move. You can go through anything. Note: You might die if you
keep falling down.
Glitch:

Iris' shop. Buy one of the modes, and turn off the Game Boy Color instead
of saving the game. Turn the game back on and whichever mode you purchased
will be unlocked, but you will still have your original amount of Soul
Chips.
