Gameplay

Much like the other games in the series - you play as Mega Man X, out against Vile, Sigma, and an army of Mavericks. The typical features are all included, such as new weapons after defeating a boss, and Energy tanks.

Dr. Light's Capsules

Scattered throughout the levels are capsules left by Dr. Light that enable you to upgrade X's base armor, the stages they are located on are as follows:

• Dash Boots - Chill Penguin
• Helmet - Storm Eagle
• X-Blaster - Sting Chameleon
• Body Armor - Armored Armadillo

Hearts

Each level has a hidden heart, which will increase your total Hit points. They are located as follows:

Storm Eagle

At the very beginning of the level, once you take the moving platforms to the "top", jump off to the left as far as you can go. The heart capsule is there.

Sting Chameleon

Right before the cavern area there are two other options for travel. You can Wall Jump up the ledge there to travel up that wall where you will face a Mini-Boss and a Dr. Light Capsule upgrade after defeating it - or you can jump down to your "death". Just before the bottom of that pit you will be able to break through a rock wall on the right. There is a heart in that room to your right.

Bosses

• Boomer Kuwanger
• Sting Chameleon
• Storm Eagle
• Armored Armadillo
• Flame Mammoth
• Launch Octopus
• Chill Penguin
• Spark Mandrill

Game Story

After Dr. Wily was catred by the original Megaman, Dr. Thomas Light had began a secret project, this was creating a new type of robot, a robot that can feel more like human it is called a "Reploid". Dr. Light called his repoid "Megaman X". However, when Dr. Light finished his project, he had to store it into a capsule, becuase 30 years was needed beofre his reploid can be activated, unfortunately, Dr. Light does not expect himself to live for that long. The years after Dr. Light's death, reploids have been a standard for robot creation, however, it was not long before some of these reploids have decided that humans are inferior and need to be executed. These reploids were known as "Mavericks", and soon an orginization that was originated by a scientist named Dr. Cain was called "Maverick Hunters" led by Cain's creation named "Sigma". Then, there was a time where Sigma became a Maverick himself and became their new leader. That is when Cain scrambled to find another reploid, then he found the ruins of Dr. Light's lab and X. Cain released X in the midst of Sigma's revolt on humans, thus, X acted immediately to stop Sigma and his mavericks, and to help the hunters' new leader, Zero.
