Saturn Version: At the character select screen, put in the
following code with the cursor on Zero: Hold R, press right six times, release
R, press and hold B, press start while holding B. Zero should now be black and

differences in performance between the two armors, despite previous rumors
Playstation version: Highlight Zero at the player selection
screen. Hold R1 and press Right 6 times. Release all buttons, then hold Circle
and press Start. For the Japanese version, hold R1 and press Right(6). Release

Frost Walrus: Climb the walls, and when he comes sliding along to
the wall you are on, jump off and slash him. When he launches ice spikes at
you, just slash them. Also, the Rising Flame Sword will burn him.
Jet Stingray, jump up and use you Ice Lance attack on him. This
works best with the Double-Jump. Slash any fish he launches out. When he comes
underwater, and makes a water whirl, just dash away form him until he comes to
you, then Ice Lance him.
Slash Beast: Air Dash above him when he on the ground, and below
him when he is in the air. The Command Cancel Z-Saber will slash through his
flip slashes. Also, the Lightning Special does good damage against him.
Web Spider: Use the Rising Flame on him, as it does good damage.
Double Jump over his web attacks. The Spin Attack and the Rising Flame Sword
work well.
Cyber Peacock: The Rising Flame Sword will disrupt him, causing
him to teleport away. Keep moving to avoid his teleporting on top of you.
Split Mushroom: Use the Lightning Special on his soul body style
clones to destroy them, and also to electrify him. If you time it right, the
Lightning Special will destroy all of his clones and hit him as well, causing
to jump to the opposite wall and start over again.
Storm Owl: Use the Giga Attack on him, particularly when he is
coming in close to you or when he is about to do his cyclone attack. The closer
he is to you, the more damage the Giga Attack will do, because more of the
projectiles will hit him.
Magma Dragoon: Try using the Mid-Dash attack on him, as well as
the Lightning Special. Double Jump over him when he gets ready to do his huge
flame blast, and Lightning Special him, as it will hit him twice, which it will
not do for any other boss.
Colonel: Jump over his blasts, and his slashes. When he goes to
the middle to do his energy breaker attack, jump over the green electricity on
the ground and slash him, or use the Ice Lance.
Iris: Attack her and her drones with the Rising Flame sword until
the purple crystal appears. Attack it with anything you can, particularly the
Rising Flame Sword, and the Double Jump Spin Attack when it's above you. When
it goes below you for her plasma shots, use the Ice Lance on it. Dodge her
plasma shots, and try to keep the crystal away from the wall until it become
stationary on the ground, then climb the wall.
General: Stay on the wall, and when he comes toward you, jump off,
Air Dash above him, and slash him with the Z-Saber. It is easier to not climb
his hands, as his energy shots can hurt you easily, but it is slower, too.
Dodge his sextet of energy attacks, which he'll begin using at about half life.
Sigma:
Form 1: Use the Rising Flame Sword on him twice, then climb the wall, and Air
Dash or Double Jump over his charge.
Form 2: Double Jump over his spinning scythe attack, and slash him. Then jump
on the wall so that he throws his scythe to the wall. Slash him after you jump
of the wall. Double Jump over him to the other wall. Then wait for him to
finish his laser blasts. Repeat.
Form 3: Use the Rising Flame sword on any of the three robot heads. Double Jump
Spin attack the big body form on the right side, and use the Lightning Special
or the Z-Saber on the huge head on the left. Dash away from the spikes if the
head tries to blow you into them, and if it tries to suck you in, start nailing
it.
Magma Dragoon: Use the Lightning Web to reach a cliff to the left
when you see the falling meteor-like rocks in area 2. Use the Double Jump.
Frost Walrus: Use the Rising Flame Sword to break the block in the
ceiling of the first part of area 1.
Jet Stingray: In area 1, don't jump over the third pit and you'll
land on the platform holding the Heart.
Slash Beast: In area 2, get in the Ridden armor and punch the
second car you come to after you get the armor to reveal the Heart.
Web Spider: Use Rising Flame Sword to burn the second tree-trunk
looking block in area 2.
Split Mushroom: In the second part of area 2, you have to quickly
jump on top of the falling section and then jump over to the
Heart. The Double Jump is helpful.
Cyber Peacock: Get an "S" in area 1, section 2.
Storm Owl: Get it off of the first platform in area 1 before the
beam destroys the platform it's on. It's easier if you don't have the armor on
when you go after the Heart.
Energy Tank 1: Stores extra life energy, as a sub-tank did in
earlier Mega Man X games.
- Get an "S" rating in area 1, section 3 of Cyberspace.
Energy Tank 2: Stores extra life energy, as a sub-tank did in
earlier Mega Man X games.
- Get from behind some blocks in area 2 of the Marine Base.
Weapon Tank: Basically, a sub-tank for weapon energy.
- Get in area 2 of the Snow Base. It is hidden in an ice block toward the end,
and at the top section of the ice blocks
EX-Item: Allows Zero to start with 4 lives, instead of two, when
continuing.
- Get in area 1 of the Snow Base. After the ice slopes that head to the right,
get on the rightmost wall, and scale up. Use the Double Jump to get it.
