So... Welcome to the "Daddy! I need help beating Mega Man X because I
can"t beat it!" Well your at the right place, my n00by friend! This is a
complete guide for Mega Man X!Now, This is my first attempt at an all in 1 guide, So if there's an error please do let me know in the comments. So, Here we go! Get ready to read all day and not have time to play the game you were trying to play!

(Part 1: Getting started): When you first boot up the game you'll be presented with Doctor Lights computer screen, Its here that you'll waste some time seeing the story of Mega Man X, which is why I'm not going to say it here. Go ahead and skip it if you want, after that, you'll be SMASHED with some classic Super Nintendo graphics. Go ahead and change some options if you need to, or enter a password if you feel like cheating and entering one of the many cheat listed here on Vizzed for this game. Or grow some brass balls and select GAME START!

(Part 2: The AMAZING intro stage [Highway]): You'll be zapped to the stage as soon as Mega finishes up with the GAME START button. Make your way to the right and rapidly mash the shoot button (Y) to destroy that weird wheel thing that looks evil. Also not you can charge your shot by holding down why, so the buster has 4 levels of charge. 1. No charge 2. Small charge 3. Long charge 4. Ultimate death charge (Unlocked later in the game).  Keep moving to the right jumping over the pits and shooting the enemies, be wary of the enemies flying above you. Its here that you'll encounter your first Miniboss, a giant... bee? Just keep jumping and shooting him and soon he'll crash down. Make your way back up by wall jumping (Right+B up against a wall). Go ahead and head down if you took some damage and grab both of the health pickups, then make your way back up. Keep heading to the right and defeat the next bee boss, make you way back up and RIDE ON DA CARS!!!. Defeat all the car enemies in the area and then watch as the big mean green robot man comes and #^(&$ your $#!& up. Zero will hop in and save you and you'll have a small talk, where zero tells you your weak and you'll grow stronger... In time...

(Part 3: Much explain... Such good): Ok, so now your at the Stage select screen. It operates like any other Mega Man game. Go to a stage, defeat the boss at the end, take their power and go to the next stage. Now, I'm a pretty cynical guy, So I'm not going to tell you where all the secrets are and how to make it through each stage because it completely ruins all the fun and challenge of the game. (Its very linear, don't worry) BUT I will tell you the best order to defeat the bosses in, What their weaknesses are, and every power and secret. So here we go.
BOSS ORDER AND SECRETS/POWER UPS:
1. Chill penguin (Use X-Buster) Leg upgrade, Health upgrade (You'll need Flame Mammoths weapon)

2. Spark Mandrill (Use S. Ice) Health Upgrade (You'll need the Leg Upgrade) E-Tank (You'll need Boomer Kuwangers weapon)

3. Armored Armadillo (Use E. Spark) E-Tank, Health Upgrade, Hadouken (You'll need every item and power up in the game and at least 6 lives to get this, BTW it completely breaks all the challenge of the game so be warned)

4. Launch Octopus (Use R. Shield) Health Upgrade

5. Boomer Kuwanger (Use H. Torpedo) Health Upgrade (You'll need Boomer Kuwangers weapon)

6. Sting Chameleon (Use B. Cutter) Body Upgrade (Need Leg Upgrade), Health Upgrade (Need to have beaten Launch Octopus and the Leg Upgrade)

7. Storm Eagle (Use C. Sting) Head Upgrade (Need Leg Upgrade) Health Upgrade (Need Leg Upgrade) E-Tank

8. Flame Mammoth [ITS A FLAME WAR!!! BAN EVERYBODY INVOLVED AHHHH] (Use Storm T.) Arm Upgrade (You'll need the Leg and Arm Upgrades) E-Tank (Need Leg Upgrade) Health Upgrade (Need to have beaten Chill Penguin.

After all that you'll be at Sigmas stages, The only things you need to know are these

(Part 4: NOOOOOOO NOT HIM!!!)
At the end of Stage One, If you haven't gotten the Arm upgrade from F. Mammoths stage, then Zero will give it to you in this one.
At the beginning of stage 4, use the charged version of A. Armadillos weapon to grind here, because you will DEFINETLY have a VERY bad time with sigma if you don't have full E-Tanks, or the Hadouken.

CONGRATULATIONS! You grew up and beat Mega Man X without too much help. And gained some seriously X-TREME (Hee hee hee...) Skills along the way! Now get out there, Don't get banned, and conquer the Retro Game Room!

(Guide by Osaze McCurley, a.k.a. SNES4EVER)

This is a very good guide here. You explained well on what was said and more importantly it was fun to read. The only thing I would advice for next time is that you like highlight or put in bold the important key sections of your walkthrough. Like for instance boss order and secrets/power up section.

I actually look forward to the next one you do whenever you have the time to make it.

Eniitan : Thanks! (Whats weird is I only got 144 Viz and 0.9 cp for an 800 word walkthrough... huh...) Thanks and I hope you enjoyed.

My guess about why you got so little CP and Viz for it is because you already made 2 guides today, and the first one was rather small (it was also trashed...) The guide limit for normal members is 1 per day so yea.

The weakness for the boss and the items (and item/weapon required to get the item) is a pretty nice addition. The attempt at explaining the intro stage and what to do is okay, but you didn't explain enough. What do you do for the other enemies? When I first played the game I had some issues with the little bee enemies (not the mini boss) when you go over the breaking highway, and your guide does not help me with that. I want you to put some more detail about the stages (especially the maverick stages since you did not go into depth at all), and if you want an example, here's my guide for the same game- https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=84353

Now, I don't want you to copy the style or copy and past the entire guide- I just want you to get an idea of the explanation of the levels. Yes, it takes lots more time, but in my opinion it's worth it. Making the sections of your guide pop out is important, and as Eniitan said, using formatting like bold, or different colors (using both is great) will really help with that. You probably noticed that I used screenshots as well, and that is handy for giving a visual clue for where the guide is or helping the player visually understand what to do.

Yes, this is a lot of criticism. But this isn't a bad guide, it just needs some work. I hope your guides improve as time goes on .

ZeroTails : Thanks!, I'll be sure to use your advice well.
