Various Cheats and Hints
X Buster's Super Nova armor
At the character selection screen, highlight X Buster, then press Up(2), Down(9). If you entered the code correctly, you will hear a sound. Then, press Circle. You will start with Super Nova Armor from Megaman X4.
Zero's Black armor
At the character selection screen, highlight Zero, then press Down(2), Up(9). If you entered the code correctly, you will hear a sound. Then, press Circle. Zero's Black armor will reduce damage slightly as compared to his Red armor.
Zero's Supreme Slash
Repeatedly press Forward + Square as quickly as possible. Note: This is the best move to use to finish some of the Bosses.
Zeros's Slash combo
Press [Square]x2, [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.
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.
Zero and Bosses
Do not use Zero in a stage with a Boss. Zero always retires (dies) in the stage.
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.
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.
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.
Enhance Zero's power
To make Zero stronger, get the capsule in the third Zero stage (where X's Ultimate Armor is located.) Zero will become black. He can destroy viruses, take less damage, and inflict more damage. Note: This is not an armor. Zero will remain like this.
Best weapon
Use the Gala attack with the Ultimate Armor to have the best weapon that defeats most Bosses, including Sigma (both rounds). Keep using that attack, which is unlimited. Be careful with Sigma, as he keeps moving around.
Rank PA
As Zero, first fight Dynamo after defeating Izzy Glow and some other Boss. Fight Dynamo with Zero using Izzy's weapon until he dies. After that, you will move up to GA. The second time, fight Dynamo with four or more heart upgrades, and both E-Tanks and the W-tank full. If you fought in excellent time with about 19 or less damage, you should get the PA rank. The rules for keeping a PA rank are very difficult. If you die twice, or exceed six minutes of game play in the level you will lose it. As X, this can be very difficult at first. You must have all that Zero had and the Ultimate armor. X's rank must be at GA before the event. This time, you will use Nova Strike (Giga Attack L2).
Save a life
After Zero becomes a Maverick you get a new stage. Enter the stage and climb the wall to your left. Collect the helmet (extra life) located
Destroying the colony
To destroy the colony, get the it as close as possible with at least 3 parts -- i.e. the lower the hours, the better the chance of destroying the colony with the Enigma.
As Black Zero, destroy the mavericks in this order: Izzy Glow, Squid Alder, Duff McWallen, and Grisly Slash.
Dash Jump
Use the following trick to reach a high ledge or jump to the next wall. Hold "Dash" and perform a jump to automatically do a Dash Jump. This is very helpful, as it also works on walls.
Raise your speed
Note: To do this trick you have to be at the third Maverick stage. Drop down and go to the part where you face the green robot. Stay there and a group of white dots will appear. Face each of them. Keep doing this and your speed pushing buttons will increase. The best character to use is Zero.
Virus advantages
When playing as X, if you get hit by the Sigma Viruses, you will lose health. However, when playing Zero, he will gain full health if this happens.
Recommended level order
Grizzly Slash, Duff Mcwhalen, Squid Adler, Izzy Glow, Dark Dizzy, The Skiver, Mattrex, and Axle The Red.
