Codes & Secrets

X's Super Nova armor:
Highlight X at the character selection screen, then press Up(2), Down(9). A sound will
confirm correct code entry. Then, press Circle. Note: You will start with Super Nova Armor
from Megaman X4.


Highlight X at the character selection screen, then press [Up(5), Down(2)] five times. A
sound will confirm correct entry. Press X to continue.


X's Fourth (Force) armor:
Highlight X at the character selection screen, then press Up(2), Down(9), Up(2), Down(9).
A sound will confirm correct code entry. You will have the Fourth Armor, which is a mix of
the Ultimate Armor and the Falcon Armor. 


Alternately, highlight X at the character selection screen, then press Up(2), Down(2),
Up(2), Down(2), Up(2), Down(2), Up(2), Down(2), Up(2), Down. A sound will confirm correct
entry. Press X to continue.


Megaman's Ultimate armor:
Highlight Megaman at the character select screen, then press Up(2), Down(9). A sound will
confirm correct code entry. You will start the game with the Ultimate armor and always
have it for use through the rest of the game.


Zero's Black armor:
Highlight Zero at the character selection screen, then press Down(2), Up(9). A sound will
confirm correct code entry. Then, press Circle. Note: Zero's Black armor will reduce
damage slightly as compared to his Red armor.


Zero's Supreme Slash:
Either press Dash + Slash, or press Forward, Forward + Slash. Note: This is the best to
finish some of the Bosses.


Zeros's Slash combo:
Press Square(2), Back, Square for a 4 hit combo which works on any Boss.


Zero's Flip-Slash combo:
Note: You must have most of the special moves you get from Bosses. First, use Zero's
Lightning Upper-Cut (Up, Square), then press Circle while in the air to become invincible
and dash through the air. Then, use his Flame Sword (Down, Down, Square) and if you are
not on the ground yet, use your Square in the air to make Zero Flip-Slash. This combo is
highly effective on Bosses.


Zero's unlimited Slash:
Press Left or Right (depending on which way you are facing) + Square.


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: Shortcut to Sigma's final stage, area 1:
Start a new game then enable the armor code for either X or Zero. Play in the first stage
and defeat Sigma's big head. At the stage/Bosses selection screen, press L1 or R1 to enter
the mode. Press L1 or R1 for armor selection. The ultimate armor will be in the armor
selection. Press L1(2) or R1(2) for mode selection. To get to the Sigma's final stage, you
must do the L1 or R1 pressing steps twice -- press L1 or R1 twice, then select the
"launch ship" mode. Once you enter this mode for the first time, the space ship
will be launch. After the short intermission, the game will begin again at the stage
selection screen. Do the L1 or R1 pressing steps again and enter the launch ship mode. The
space ship will launch for the second time. You can now play in the Sigma's first final
stage. Note: Make sure to select the middle box and press Start.


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.


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 Sigma:
To defeat Sigma in the first round, start by jumping to the top left hand corner of the
room. Keep jumping until Sigma starts dashing. Note: He cannot hit you when you are at the
very top. When he gets close, quickly press Left + Square then keep jumping to the top of
the wall. If done correctly, he should take damage. Repeat this until he starts creating
shockwaves. Dodge them by jumping or ducking. Do the same as above, but be careful as he
might hit you with his viruses. Note: This was done with a controller an auto-fire
feature. 

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.


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.
