X: Secret weapon with the Jet Stingray attack
As X, when you use the Jet Stingray attack, you can press [Down] whenever you want to make it go down. When you press [Down] with the huge stingray attack (requires the plasma shot or the other arm upgrade), it goes across the screen while shooting smaller attacks vertically north and south.

Defeating Slash Beast
First, defeat the Stingray and use his weapon in the battle. Shoot him once, then jump over him, turn, and fire again. Repeat this until he goes down.
In order to kill Slash Beast as zero, use this multiple combo technique. Rapidly press [Forward] while rapidly pressing "Saber" at the same time. You will only do the first two hits of Zero's full attack, but the Slash Beast is effected even if he is flashing with the first two hits of Zero's attack. That will lower his health quickly.

When you get to the Spider Boss, dash slide away to dodge his webs, then jump over it.
Defeating the General
Use the twin slashers (Slash Beast weapon) to defeat him.
Defeating the Colonel

Defeating Iris
When the huge diamond object comes out of her, use the fire attack on her with Zero.
Defeating Magma Dragoon
When you get the armor suit at area 2, get in and continue normally. When you get to the part where you have to jump higher than the suit allows, do not get out. Instead, go in the lava and move forward as quickly as possible, breaking the box things in front of you. You will begin the battle with Magma Dragoon in the suit. Attack him until the suit explodes. By this time, his life should be low. Then, finish him off.
