Codes & Secrets

X's Ultimate Armor:
Press Start at the title screen, then press Left(3), Right at the main menu before
starting a new game. A sound will confirm correct code entry. You will begin the game with
X's Ultimate Armor.


This is X's ultimate armor. It is basically X's armor from Megaman X4 and X5 (known as the
Fourth Armor). It has nice defense and the ultimate power, Invincible Dash. Note: You will
never use up Giga Attack energy when using the Giga Attack.


Nightmare Zero:
Press Start at the title screen, then press L1(3), R2 at the main menu. A sound will
confirm correct code entry. Start a new game. When you rescue Zero after defeating him in
battle, you will play as the Nightmare version of Zero. Nightmare Zero has all of Zero's
normal moves, but he is much more powerful.


Hint: Zero:
Find Zero with the teleporters and fight him. He will join you after he is defeated.


Hint: Easy attack with Zero:
Press Attack and Dash continuously with Zero.


Hint: Zero's best attacks:
First, you have his normal three slash combo. This is best used with the first two slashes
repeatedly and is done by tapping X(2), wait until he begins to put his weapon away about
a second later, then tap X(2) again. Keep doing this as many times as needed. Instead of
using his spinning jump slash which engulfs his whole body, use his normal jump slash
without the double jump. Ensuizan, however, is one of his best attacks. It is basically
the jumping spin slash wherever you want it. 


After gaining the Fire attack for Zero, just attack as you normally would except tap his
slash attack two times and on the third time use his Fire attack.


Hint: Slash combo with X:
This trick can be done with any of X's armors except the Shadow Armor. Go to the
controller configuration screen and turn on the "Auto-Fire" feature. Play the
game normally. Whenever you want to make slashing combos, make sure you are not directly
next to a wall and have a comfortable position for Dash (R1 recommended). Hold Slash as
soon as the saber touches the ground, but before it starts to get small, press Dash. This
will cancel the slash and start a new one. You can use this technique to perform slash
combos similar to Zero's from Megaman X4 and Megaman X5.


Hint: Stronger Z-Saber slash:
When using the Blade armor for X, instead of pressing Triangle, use Up + Square.


Hint: Nightmare effects:
Each effect is neutralized in almost in all cases by the same weapon it comes from. In the
case of the raining magma, blow it up with ShouenZan or Magma Blade. For iced floors, use
Hyoroga/Ice Burst. For gnats, use Yammark Option. For iron blocks, use Metal
Anchor/Rakukojin. For soul spirits, use Laser Shield. Finally, red crates can be blown up
with SentsuiZan/Ground Dash; black and blue ones can be moved with the same weapon. The
rain and the spotlights cannot be neutralized.

Amazon Area, Magma Area: Metallic gnats
Inami Temple, Amazon Area: Normal rain (slows you down)
Inami Temple, Central Museum: Normal rain
Magma Area, North Pole Area: Magma rain. Also, some walls break an allow access to secret
area.
Magma Area, Weapon Center: Magma rain.

Weapon Center, Inami Temple: Spotlights
Laser Institute, North Pole Area: Soul spirits (attacking soul clones of Zero/X,
respectively)
Laser Institute, Inami Temple: Soul spirits
North Pole Area, Recycle Lab: Iced floors
Recycle Lab, Magma Area: Iron blocks
Recycle Lab, Weapon Center: Iron blocks
Recycle Lab, Central Museum: Iron blocks
Central Museum, Recycle Lab: Red, blue and black crates
Central Museum, Laser Institute: Red, blue and black crates 
Hint: Blade Armor: 
A nice armor featuring a Giga Attack that is similar to Zero's Triple Z Strike (in which
he shoots two buster shots, then shoots blades from his saber). Its charged shot has
limited plasma capabilities and will sometimes leave behind its power to damage an enemy.
Its charged shot is not very powerful. There are four pieces to this armor, which are
found in capsules scattered throughout the game. You have enhanced dash abilities and the
ability to freeze in midair and dash straight up, straight down, the left, or the right
depending on the direction you hold. This dash is known as Mach Dash.


Helmet: At the Central Museum. Enter the totem poles and search thoroughly through each
one. The armor, however, is usually in the final totem pole. 
Armor: Go to the Laser Institute. Go to the room with many mirrors required to reflect the
lasers to hit the door at the end. There will be a door in the floor near the end. Angle
the mirrors so that they hit the door opener in the ground (the very last mirror must be
horizontal). Drop down the hole. Jump against the left wall and hold Left until you fall
through part of it. The capsule is within sight. 
X Buster: Go to the Weapons Center and defeat the giant Reploid Ilumina. Enter the portal
that appears and walk left instead of right. The capsule is very close from where you
appear after entering the portal, just placed out of sight by the clever game design. 
Boots: Go to the Amazon Stage. At the bottom of the first cliff you fall off from will be
a Praying Mantis Mechaniloid. Destroy it and walk into the passage behind it. The capsule
will be in there. 
Hint: Blade Armor special abilities:
The Blade Armor can perform a powered Mach Dash by pressing X(2). The longer you hold X
and/or the D-pad, the farther he will dash in that direction. It special attack is firing
two waves of two Z-Sabers in the direction he is facing.


Hint: Falcon Armor:
X will begin with this armor normally. The armor will be available from the start of the
game. Its buster features a piercing shot and a powerful Giga attack, known as Giga Rain.
The armor is faulty, and you cannot perform the Invincible Flight power from Megaman X5
(which allowed X to fly for ten seconds). You can still perform the Air Dash though. 


Its special attack is a fully charged X-Buster blast that falls all over the screen. 


Hint: Shadow Armor parts and locations: 


Body: In Rainy Turtloid's stage, when you get to the inside of the tree trunk, there are
five narrow passages with spikes on the ceiling and floor. Three are on the left side and
two are on the right side. The upper right passage leads to the Shadow Armor body program.
You will need the Blade Armor and use the Mach Dash to get through the narrow passageway.
Make sure to release Right or you will walk into the second set of spikes. Repeat this to
go through the second set of spikes. 
Leg: You find this in Blizzard Wolfang's stage. Shortly, after passing the area with
vertical avalanches and pillars of ice you have to stand on, you will reach a downward
slope to a ladder. Above the ladder is a ledge. Zero can double jump to that ledge. X with
the Blade Armor can Mach Dash straight up and land on the ledge. 
Arms: You find this in Blaze Heatnix's stage. After the second mini-Boss Donut
Mechaniloid, you will get to a vertical area with an upper and lower door. You will notice
the ceiling is quite high above the upper door. 
Head: If you have not come from Metal Shark Player's stage, you will need the Blade
Armor's Mach Dash ability to get to the armor capsule. You must climb either the left or
right side of the vertical chamber. Once you see the left or right ledges, dash jump off
the wallm then Mach Dash upwards and land on the ledge. Continue to climb up, and you will
see the capsule. 
There is another way to get the body part of the Shadow Armor in Rainy Turtloid's stage.
Before going to Rainy Turtloid's stage, go to the "Parts" section of the stage
selection menu and equip the Hyperdash and D-Barrier parts on X. Go to Rainy Turtloid's
stage with the Falcon Armor. Enter the tree trunk and find the upper-right passage.
Instead of trying to dash in the air to get through the set of spikes, go back to the
ledge. Then, wait until one of the many bats with bombs follow you. Make sure you get hit
by it directly in front of the spikes. After you are hit you will have about four or five
seconds before you stop flashing (are invincible), dash rapidly forward. You will first
see a Reploid that needs to be rescued. Either rescue her and die, or keep going and find
the armor capsule. It is recommended that you wait to rescue her until you get the Shadow
Armor, as it makes you invulnerable to spikes.


Use the following trick if you are playing the game completely with Zero and do not want
to use X to get the Shadow Armor Part in Rainy Turtloid's stage. When you go up to the
uppermost passage on the right, you will read Alia's message. She tells you that only X
can get through. This is not true. Instead of dashing in the air, go to back to the ledge
until one of the many bats comes after you. When it does, have it damage you directly in
front of the spike passage. Immediately when you start flashing (and are invulnerable),
dash to get through the first set of spikes, and on the second set of spikes Air Dash. The
Air Dash part is the most difficult in the process. Practice before trying the actual
thing is recommended. If you make it through, to get out you must kill yourself or quit if
you already cleared the stage. 


Hint: Shadow Armor special abilities:
The Shadow Armor has Hydroga as its special jump. It also allows you to touch, walk on,
and climb on spikes without getting hurt. Its giga attack is Z-Saber becoming released and
circling around him. Shadow Armor can perform Hydroga, by pressing Up + X. 


Hint: Easy Shadow Head capsule:
As Zero, equip Jumper and go to Blaze Heatnix's area. Defeat the first two
"donut" Mechaniloids (use Rekkoha) and go through the door. Above youa re three
platforms. Jump to the highest one. You will see a door. Wall jump to the top of the wall
opposite the door. You should see a Nightmare, Injured Reploid, and a Heart Tank. Keep at
the top of the wall until the Nightmare comes toward you and kill it. Then, slide down the
wall a bit and double jump to the platform. Climb upwards until you reach the capsule.


Hint: X's armor special abilities:
Zero can perform a double jump by pressing X at the top of the first jump. The special
attack is a Raynoka Blast fall from the top left to the top right of the screen.


Hint: X's Ultimate Armor special abilites: 
Its special is the Invincible Dash. Press X, then X again. You will be invincible while
performing any part of it, and it does not use GigaAttack energy.
