Arms: You find this in Blaze Heatnix's level. 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.

Body: In Rainy Turtloid's level, 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.

Head: If you have not come from Metal Shark Player's level, 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.

Leg: You find this in Blizzard Wolfang's level. 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.

There is another way to get the body part of the Shadow Armor in Rainy Turtloid's level.
Before going to Rainy Turtloid's level, go to the "Parts" section of the level selection
menu and equip the Hyperdash and D-Barrier parts on X. Go to Rainy Turtloid's level 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 level. 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 level.

Defeat Vile with the S. Blades, and have Zero still alive. Play only as X in the first two
levels in Dr. Doppler's Lab. In the second level of Dr. Doppler's Lab, after the water pit
area but before the mini-Boss, switch to Zero. Charge up and defeat the "bug". It will
fall on Zero, he will be severely damaged, and will give you his Saber. The Saber will be
saved with a password.

Go to Frost Walrus' level and proceed to the mid-Boss. You will see Chill Penguin frozen
in an ice cube. Also, If you look closely in the background, you will see that the wall
was broken. This is the exact level in Megaman X for Chill Penguin.

Keep Zero from going maverick and go to the third Sigma level with Megaman X. Successfully
complete the level and you will fight Zero. Zero has almost the same exact pattern as he
did when you fight him in Megaman X2.

Enter 2656 6418 3242 as a password, then go to Armored Armadillo level. Before the
Boss gate, climb over the top to find found a big life power-up. Collect it, then exit the
level. Repeat this less than five times and you can find a hidden weapon next to the big
life power-up. Note: Make sure the spare life is full.

When you have Raijingeki, Ryuenjin, Hyouretsuzan and Shippuuga you can use this combo.
First, slash once then use Raijingeki. After that use Shippuuga (Must Dash) then use
Ryuenjin. Then, finish off with Hyouretsuzan. Note: This combo is only slightly
effective on Boss but does lot more against an army of enemies. After you have the
Raijingeki, slash once and as soon as the slash ends, use Raijingeki for a very powerful
combo. Additionally, press B(2), Raijingeki, Shippuugu, Ryuenjin, Hyouretsuzan.
Note: This is not effective on Bosses.

Win Grand Prix mode two times with the same character to unlock the Base track in Versus
and Time Attack mode.

Go to Snow Base area 2. Destroy all of the ice blocks until you reach a platform that
leads you left or right. Go left and destroy the ice blocks. You will eventually find the
W tank.

Equip the Blade Armor and Ultimate Buster part. Fire the Ice Weapon and Mach-Dash up. You
will fire icicles and one will hit Turtloid in the head, freezing him and causing heavy
damage. The fully-charged ice weapon is Turtloid's only weakness; the Ultimate Buster,
which fires all fully-charged shots, makes this a lot easier. if you do not have it, use
Quick-Charge instead.

Zero can perform a double jump by pressing A 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.

Go to Frost Walrus/Kibatodos level. Then, dash jump towards the first wall on your left,
then dash jump to the right one. Continue to the right. You will see two snowmen. Use
either the Lightning Web (X) or the Double Jump (Zero) to jump higher and reach the
upper-right edge. Defeat the weak enemies here and get a lot of energy capsules. If you
have not taken damage, you should have one E-tank full at 50%. You should also get the
life near the appearing and disappearing platforms. Return four times maximum to fill up
your two E-tanks and get a good supply of lives. Note : For really tough fights (for
example, Colonel and Sigma) and you have already used all your energy tanks, it might not
be a good idea to pick up many lives. However, do it against the eight Mavericks once you
meet them again, if you do not use tanks during the fight.

Play as X and go to Snow Base level and at the area before the ice slopes, jump on the
side of the wall and use the Lightning Web. Dash in air to the web and then to higher
ledge that you cannot see from the ledge you were on. There will be several health units
and weapon units located there. Collect and leave, then repeat as needed.

Play as Zero and go to the beginning of Snow Base level. Double jump to a rock wall across
from the wall behind you. Collect the lives and leave, then repeat as needed. Note:
You can only get nine lives maximum.

Get the fire weapon from Dragoon. Jump and repeatedly press B to float in mid-air. It
helps you do not have the Rocket Boots. Additionally, double cyclone is effective in the
air since it stops X short and gives him a little more time and distance. Charge up rising
fire and jump in the air. When you reach your highest point in your jump, release the
charge. You will boost up for a double jump.

Defeat Dr. Wily three times. Then, defeat the Black Troop challengers: Black Joe, the
Black Roaders, the Black Devil, and the entire Black Troop. Note: You must get the
secret part after defeating each Black Troop challenger before racing the next one. Duo
will be unlocked after all four secret parts are obtained.

Start a game on the Frost Walrus level in Area 1. Go to the section where the ice passages
disappear. Turn to the left and get the extra life. Repeat this process to collect as many
lives as desired.

Do not use Zero in a level with a Boss. Zero always retires (dies) in the level.

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

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.

When fighting Metal Shark Player, he resurrects Reploids from previous Megaman X
games to help him. He will rarely call up Blast Hornett from Megaman X3. Blast
Hornett fires a large wave of mechanoid hornets at your character when he is summoned.
After a few waves he will disappear.

Get to the halfway Boss in the Frost Walruses level to see the Buffalo from Megaman
X3 in the background.

You can stop the lowering roof by getting the big robot and walking through the level. At
one point you will see a large garbage pile. It is the tallest one. Jump up there and get
out of the robot. The roof will only go down until it hits the robot, and you can easily
make it to the lower area.

In the area where the ceiling comes down, you get the robot suit. Go all the way to the
top of the junk and jump out with A + Up. The ceiling will try to crush you, it but will
not be able to. Instead, it will stop and go up immediately after it is touched. This
guarantees that you will not get crushed by it on the top level.
