|_|_|_|_|_|
Heart Tank: Use the Mech to jump up to the ledge with the 2 blue
structures. Melt the left one with the Fire Wave to get the Heart.
Power-Up (Boots): You can't miss this one, since you have to get it
when you walk through this room. Just talk to Dr. Light and you got it!
Boss Strategy: Evade its sliding attacks and ice penguins and blast
away at it with your X-Buster. When it hangs on the hook on the ceiling, climb
up the wall and hit it to stop the blizzard. When you fight it later in the
Sigma stages, use the Fire Wave.
*** Storm Eagle ***

|E|_|
Heart Tank: (You need the leg upgrade to get this Heart Tank.) Ride
the very 1st lift up to the top left corner of its track. Then, dash jump to the
left as far as you can reach, and you'll land on top of the building near the
Heart.
Sub Tank: When you reach the pillar with a robot on top of it, defeat
the robot and ride the pillar up to the top. Jump onto the glass window, and
shoot the glass apart. Walk through the building, defeat the big robot, and
continue to reach the Sub Tank.
Power-Up (Helmet): Climb up the wall near where it shows the capsule
on the above map and get to the right side of it. Dash jump to the ledge by some
destroyable missiles in the wall and shoot them to reveal a passageway. Follow
it to make the capsule appear.
Boss Strategy: (On the above map, where it shows the boss, THAT'S the
point where you jump aboard the plane, so you have to get through the plane area
before you fight Storm Eagle!) When it's flying, run towards it to keep yourself
from flying away and attack with your X-Buster. Avoid getting hit by its
swooping attack and when it shoots out and hatches tiny eagles, and keep hitting
it until defeated. When you fight it in the Sigma Stages, use the Chameleon
Sting instead to attack!
*** Flame Mammoth ***
_ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ |S|_|_|_|_| |_|_|_|_|_|_|_|B|
|E|_|_|_|_|_|P|_|_|_|_|_|
|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|H|
Heart Tank: Note that you MUST beat Chill Penguin's stage to be able
to reach the Heart Tank. When you reach the section where the enemies are
throwing pick axes at you, stay on the ground, and run all the way to the right
to get the Heart.
Sub Tank: In the big room with the pick axe throwing robots, work your
way to the top left corner of the room and use your Helmet Enhancement to break
the gray blocks to get the Tank.
Power-Up (X-Buster): This one is very tricky and difficult to get.
Just before the room with the pick axe throwers, you'll see a group of gray
blocks in the ceiling. Go a little bit to the right of it and you'll reach a
more elevated surface. Dash jump from the elevated surface onto the blocks and
break them all with your Helmet Upgrade to reach the capsule with the
Enhancement!
Boss Strategy: In this boss's room, there's a conveyor that moves you
around, but the Mammoth can change its direction! Watch out when it shoots tar
on the ground to make you stick to the ground, and use the Storm Tornado to
attack. When it breathes fire at you, run the other way and shoot at it from
afar until it's defeated.
*** Spark Mandrill ***

_|_|_|_|_| |_|_|_|_|_|_|_ _|_| |_|_ _ _ _ _

|_|_|_|
Heart Tank: When you see the ladder going down, climb up the wall and
jump onto the platform to get the Heart Tank.
Sub Tank: Stand next to the tube-like structure preventing you from
getting the tank. Face the tank and use the Boomerang Cutter to retrieve it for
you.
Boss Strategy: As soon as the battle starts, shoot it with the Shotgun
Ice. If it zaps you with its electric attack, just climb the wall until you're
over it, and then jump over it. Keep freezing it with the ice and you'll defeat
it easily!
*** Armored Armadillo ***
(Note: The section of the map after the Heart Tank below has been
shortened due to lack of room!)

Sub Tank: After you drop for the 1st time in the level, as soon as you
touch the ground, climb back up the wall. Wait for the robotic vehicle to pass,
then go in the newly accessible room and get the Sub Tank.
Heart Tank: When you reach the 2nd big robot vehicle with spikes in
front, quickly take it out with Storm Tornado or Fire Wave before it reaches the
heart tank. If you destroy it before you see the tank, then you can climb up the
wall to get it, if it already plowed the lower section of the wall, you'll have
to start over!
Boss Strategy: If you can avoid its rolling attack, then you're in
good shape. When it's just standing there, NOT blocking, zap it with the
Electric Spark to remove all its shields! Now, just jump over the tiny fireballs
it shoots at you and keep blasting it with the Electric Spark or charged up X-
Buster until it's defeated.
*** Launch Octopus ***

|_|_|_|_|_|_|_| |_|_ _
|_|_|_|
|_|_|_|H|
Heart Tank: In the area with the tornado shaped waters rushing upward,
jump on one and let it carry you to the surface. Do that to reach the floating
sub up there. Use the Storm Tornado to quickly submerge it, stay on it until it
stops COMPLETELY at the bottom of the sea. Go in the next room and defeat the
eel with a well-timed Storm Tornado shot to the head, then take the Heart Tank.
Boss Strategy: Try your best to avoid the Homing Torpedoes it shoots
at you and shoot at it with the Rolling Shield. Stay away from him when it
starts spinning because it can easily take your power if it catches you! You may
want to enter the battle with a full Sub Tank because this guy is one of the
toughest Mavericks in the game!
*** Boomer Kuwanger ***
(Note: Since this stage is rather tall, I made this map "tilted" on
its side with the beginning area on the left side of the screen. Just remember
you're going up, not right!)

|B|
Heart Tank: Enter the building and defeat the robot on the floating
platform. Then charge up your X-Buster with the Shotgun Ice and face right to
the outside. Right before you drop, jump up onto the platform to get the Heart
Tank.
Boss Strategy: Watch out when it dashes and throws its
Boomerang piece at you and shoot Homing Torpedoes at it. When it
teleports around the room, just keep launching Torpedoes; they'll hit
it even when it's not visible!
*** Sting Chameleon ***

|_|_|H|
Heart Tank: Before you reach the area where rocks fall from the
ceiling, jump in the water and use your Helmet upgrade to break the blocks.
Then, dash jump all the way to the right and get the Tank on the ledge.
Power-Up (Body Armor): When you reach the area where you can go right,
down, or up, go up. A block wall will "lock" you in that room to fight a sub-
boss. Use the Fire Wave or Storm Tornado on its head until he's destroyed! It
does take a while, so be sure to have a lot of energy before taking this guy on.
Boss Strategy: Avoid its Chameleon Sting attacks and the stuff falling
from the ceiling and hit it with the Boomerang Cutter. It is easier if you stand
in middle of the room, facing the Chameleon, but you got to watch out for if you
hit him while it's hanging on the ceiling, it might fall on you!
*********************************************************************
2. Sigma Stages Boss Strategies
*** Sigma Stage 1 ***
Vile (w/ Mech): Just let him defeat you as he did in the beginning
stage of the game. Watch the scene with Zero destroying his Mech, and then get
ready to fight Vile one-on-one!
Vile: When he's on the ground, hit him with the Rolling Shield because
it takes the most damage. Jump over his various shots and keep shooting him.
When you defeat him, go speak with Zero and if you don't have it already, he'll
give you the X-Buster Upgrade for FREE!
Big Spider: When you see a bunch of bars appear throughout the screen,
watch out because the spider comes down using those and the gray bars that were
there to start! When he's at the bottom of the screen and his red eye opens
shoot him with a fully charged blast with the X-Buster. You can also use the
Shotgun Ice to defeat it, too.
*** Sigma Stage 2 ***
Wall Panel: This unusual boss has 2 multi colored orbs for eyes, and a
hovering thing for a type of nose. When its eyes open or float towards you,
shoot them with the Chameleon Sting until both eyes shatter. Now, the walls will
close in a bit, and the nosepiece will come to life! Attack it while clinging to
the wall for dear life with the Chameleon Sting until it blows up.
*** Sigma Stage 3 ***
Dinosaur Tank Robot: This guy has 2 pieces, the head and the moving
body. The head is the only part that's vulnerable, so hit it quick and hard with
the Boomerang Cutter, for it takes a lot of power away from it. Cling to the
wall and jump whenever the 2 parts come together and shoot a massive electrical
ball. When they move separately around the room, jump over the bottom part to
avoid getting hit.
*** Sigma Stage 4 ***
Sigma's Dog: Avoid its fire attacks and when it climbs the walls and
use the Shotgun Ice on it. This enemy's SO easy that you shouldn't need any sub-
tanks YET!
Sigma (1st Form): Watch out when he charges at you with his sword by
climbing to the top of the wall and charging your X-Buster. When he zigzags up
the wall after you, come down to the ground and just as he lands; let him have
it with your fully charged X-Buster. Repeat the process until he blows up.
Sigma (2nd Form): Now, his body is gone, but his head is inside of a
huge wolf known as Velgauder. Avoid the electric balls and fire breath the mouth
shoots at you and just stay close to the wall. When one of it's claws lowers
down, go up and hit the head with the Rolling Shield, but watch out for the
thunder that's gonna hit you if you stay on the claw too long. Repeat this
process until he falls apart and blows up, defeated!
*********************************************************************
3. Weapons
X-Buster
Get from: You start the game with this weapon
Description: This is your primary weapon. When you press Y, you shoot
a small yellow plasma pellet. If you hold Y for a second, you'll shoot a larger
beam of energy than the regular pellet. If you hold Y until you're fully charged
you'll shoot a large plasma ball. If you charge it after you obtain the X-Buster
upgrade, you shoot out a wave of light-reddish colored plasma balls.
Shotgun Ice
Get from: Chill Penguin
Description: You shoot a small, blue, spiky ball of ice. It freezes
any enemy that it hits. When charged with the X-Buster upgrade, you'll make an
ice penguin that you can stand on and it'll move like a sled!
Storm Tornado
Get from: Storm Eagle
Description: You shoot a horizontal whirlwind in front of you. It goes
slowly, so it takes lots of damage as it passes. When you fully charge it using
the X-Buster upgrade, a large vertical whirlwind surrounds you for a moment,
hitting anything above and below you!
Fire Wave
Get from: Flame Mammoth
Description: This weapon shoots a steady steam of fire from your
buster, just like a flame-thrower! When it's fully charged after you get the X-
Buster upgrade, it makes a "wave" of flames, like its name implies.
Electric Spark
Get from: Spark Mandrill
Description: You shoot a small, purple, electrical ball, which just
hurts enemies. When you fully charge it with the X-Buster upgrade, 2 large,
electrical "sheets" fly from both sides of you, hitting enemies from both sides!
Rolling Shield
Get from: Armored Armadillo
Description: When you shoot this regularly, a large blue ball rolls
ahead of you and hurts any enemy in its way. When it's fully charged, which you
can only do using the X-Buster upgrade, a transparent version of that blue ball
surrounds and protects you from projectile attacks.
Homing Torpedo
Get from: Launch Torpedo
Description: You shoot a single torpedo that homes in on a nearby
enemy and hits it. When you fully charge this weapon with the X-Buster upgrade,
4 larger "flesh-eating piranhas" home in on the closest enemy.
Boomerang Cutter
Get from: Boomer Kuwanger
Description: You shoot a single boomerang cutter and it'll come back
to you if you didn't hit an enemy. When you fully charge this weapon after
getting the upgrade in your X-Buster, 4 large transparent cutters fly in each
direction and destroy anything in their path.
Chameleon Sting
Get from: Sting Chameleon
Description: When you use this weapon, a single ball of energy comes
out, then splits into 3 beams. They then fly away and hit anything along the
way. When you use this weapon all charged up with the X-Buster's upgrade, you
become transparent and invulnerable to all attacks for a limited amount of time.
To attack, you can only use the regular Chameleon Sting attack while you're
flashing.

4. Secrets
*** The "Hadoken" Fireball ***
Here, I'll list the steps you need to follow to get the secret Hadoken
Fireball. It is capable of destroying almost any boss with ONE HIT! The drawback
to it is that you need the following:
1: All Heart and Sub Tanks
2: All the energy on your bar
3: All 8 Maverick Bosses defeated
Here are the steps to get this cool weapon (I strongly advise you have
at least 5 lives to spare before trying this.):
1: In Armored Armadillo's stage, play through the level all the way
until you reach the outside at the end by the boss's room.
2: As the cart you're riding hits the wall above the boss door, climb
up the wall and take the energy capsule.
3: Jump into the pit and intentionally die (that's why I asked you to
get all those extra lives earlier)!
4: Repeat the above steps 4 more times, and in place of the energy
capsule, there should be a Dr. Light capsule.
To use this weapon once you got it, press Down, Down/Right, Right, and Y
to shoot a small blue fireball. If it hits any enemy, it will immediately
destroy it! It may even defeat Sigma, if you're VERY good at not getting hit!
Here's an alternate way to obtain this special weapon:
To get the Hadoken Fireball without having to intentionally die 5-6
times to make the trick work, play through the stage until you reach the outside
part above the door to the boss's room. After you take the large energy capsule,
drop down to the lower ledge and continue to the corridor before the boss's
lair. In that corridor, use the Escape Velocity to exit the level. Make sure
that you have a full Energy and Weapon Bars before using the Escape Velocity,
otherwise the trick won't work. Now, reenter the level and repeat the process as
many times as needed until you make the Dr. Light Capsule appear. Doing it this
way saves you from losing any lives!

shoot them with the Chameleon Sting until both eyes shatter. Now, the walls will
close in a bit, and the nosepiece will come to life! Attack it while clinging to
the wall for dear life with the Chameleon Sting until it blows up.
*** Sigma Stage 3 ***
Dinosaur Tank Robot: This guy has 2 pieces, the head and the moving
body. The head is the only part that's vulnerable, so hit it quick and hard with
the Boomerang Cutter, for it takes a lot of power away from it. Cling to the
wall and jump whenever the 2 parts come together and shoot a massive electrical
ball. When they move separately around the room, jump over the bottom part to
avoid getting hit.
*** Sigma Stage 4 ***
Sigma's Dog: Avoid its fire attacks and when it climbs the walls and
use the Shotgun Ice on it. This enemy's SO easy that you shouldn't need any sub-
tanks YET!
Sigma (1st Form): Watch out when he charges at you with his sword by
climbing to the top of the wall and charging your X-Buster. When he zigzags up
the wall after you, come down to the ground and just as he lands; let him have
it with your fully charged X-Buster. Repeat the process until he blows up.
Sigma (2nd Form): Now, his body is gone, but his head is inside of a
huge wolf known as Velgauder. Avoid the electric balls and fire breath the mouth
shoots at you and just stay close to the wall. When one of it's claws lowers
down, go up and hit the head with the Rolling Shield, but watch out for the
thunder that's gonna hit you if you stay on the claw too long. Repeat this
process until he falls apart and blows up, defeated!

3. Weapons
X-Buster
Get from: You start the game with this weapon
Description: This is your primary weapon. When you press Y, you shoot
a small yellow plasma pellet. If you hold Y for a second, you'll shoot a larger
beam of energy than the regular pellet. If you hold Y until you're fully charged
you'll shoot a large plasma ball. If you charge it after you obtain the X-Buster
upgrade, you shoot out a wave of light-reddish colored plasma balls.
Shotgun Ice
Get from: Chill Penguin
Description: You shoot a small, blue, spiky ball of ice. It freezes
any enemy that it hits. When charged with the X-Buster upgrade, you'll make an
ice penguin that you can stand on and it'll move like a sled!
Storm Tornado
Get from: Storm Eagle
Description: You shoot a horizontal whirlwind in front of you. It goes
slowly, so it takes lots of damage as it passes. When you fully charge it using
the X-Buster upgrade, a large vertical whirlwind surrounds you for a moment,
hitting anything above and below you!
Fire Wave
Get from: Flame Mammoth
Description: This weapon shoots a steady steam of fire from your
buster, just like a flame-thrower! When it's fully charged after you get the X-
Buster upgrade, it makes a "wave" of flames, like its name implies.
Electric Spark
Get from: Spark Mandrill
Description: You shoot a small, purple, electrical ball, which just
hurts enemies. When you fully charge it with the X-Buster upgrade, 2 large,
electrical "sheets" fly from both sides of you, hitting enemies from both sides!
Rolling Shield
Get from: Armored Armadillo
Description: When you shoot this regularly, a large blue ball rolls
ahead of you and hurts any enemy in its way. When it's fully charged, which you
can only do using the X-Buster upgrade, a transparent version of that blue ball
surrounds and protects you from projectile attacks.
Homing Torpedo
Get from: Launch Torpedo
Description: You shoot a single torpedo that homes in on a nearby
enemy and hits it. When you fully charge this weapon with the X-Buster upgrade,
4 larger "flesh-eating piranhas" home in on the closest enemy.
Boomerang Cutter
Get from: Boomer Kuwanger
Description: You shoot a single boomerang cutter and it'll come back
to you if you didn't hit an enemy. When you fully charge this weapon after
getting the upgrade in your X-Buster, 4 large transparent cutters fly in each
direction and destroy anything in their path.
Chameleon Sting
Get from: Sting Chameleon
Description: When you use this weapon, a single ball of energy comes
out, then splits into 3 beams. They then fly away and hit anything along the
way. When you use this weapon all charged up with the X-Buster's upgrade, you
become transparent and invulnerable to all attacks for a limited amount of time.
To attack, you can only use the regular Chameleon Sting attack while you're
flashing.

4. Secrets
*** The "Hadoken" Fireball ***
Here, I'll list the steps you need to follow to get the secret Hadoken
Fireball. It is capable of destroying almost any boss with ONE HIT! The drawback
to it is that you need the following:
1: All Heart and Sub Tanks
2: All the energy on your bar
3: All 8 Maverick Bosses defeated
Here are the steps to get this cool weapon (I strongly advise you have
at least 5 lives to spare before trying this.):
1: In Armored Armadillo's stage, play through the level all the way
until you reach the outside at the end by the boss's room.
2: As the cart you're riding hits the wall above the boss door, climb
up the wall and take the energy capsule.
3: Jump into the pit and intentionally die (that's why I asked you to
get all those extra lives earlier)!
4: Repeat the above steps 4 more times, and in place of the energy
capsule, there should be a Dr. Light capsule.
To use this weapon once you got it, press Down, Down/Right, Right, and Y
to shoot a small blue fireball. If it hits any enemy, it will immediately
destroy it! It may even defeat Sigma, if you're VERY good at not getting hit!
Here's an alternate way to obtain this special weapon:
To get the Hadoken Fireball without having to intentionally die 5-6
times to make the trick work, play through the stage until you reach the outside
part above the door to the boss's room. After you take the large energy capsule,
drop down to the lower ledge and continue to the corridor before the boss's
lair. In that corridor, use the Escape Velocity to exit the level. Make sure
that you have a full Energy and Weapon Bars before using the Escape Velocity,
otherwise the trick won't work. Now, reenter the level and repeat the process as
many times as needed until you make the Dr. Light Capsule appear. Doing it this
way saves you from losing any lives!
