Freeze Flame Mammoth's Stage
Normally, Flame Mammoth's Stage is filled with lava that would kill you with one hit if you land in it. However, defeat Chill Penguin and when you arrive at Flame Mammoth's stage, all of the lava will be frozen over.Cut the Power in Spark Mandrill's Stage
First, defeat Storm Eagle. Then go to Spark Mandrill's stage. In the background of the beginning section, you will see pieces of the Death Rogumer, which had crashed through the electric pipes, shorting out the spark traps in that section. Also, the mini-boss in that stage will no longer be able to use its powerful electric attacks. The lights in the stage will also flicker on and off in certain sections.Flood Sting Chameleon's Stage
First, defeat Launch Octopus. Then go to Sting Chameleon's stage. Certain parts of the stage will be filled with water, and one section that became completely flooded will allow access to the Heart Tank.

Mega Man X Secrets
Mega Man Fireball
Must have Heart Tanks, Sub-Tanks, enemy weapons, and power-ups. Then, go to Armored Armadillo's level. Reach the final mine cart, which launches you through the air at the end of the level. Just before you reach the wall, jump up and climb the wall. At the top, there will be a large Energy Unit. Get it, and then jump into the pit and die. Repeat this step five times. On the fifth time through, a capsule will appear on that same ledge. Dr. Light will then give you a Ryu-style fireball for Mega Man to use.Stage Secrets
Some stages are a little different if you beat a certain boss first. If you beat Chill Penguin, the Lava in Flame Mammoth's stage will be frozen. If you beat Storm Eagle, the lights in Spark Mandrill's stage will flicker on and off. If you beat Launch Octopus, Sting Chameleon's stage will be partially flooded.Stronger normal shots
Dash while firing your uncharged X-Buster to cause the shot to deal double damage. This is useful when you don't have time to wait for a shot to charge.
Mega Man X Glitches
Subtank Glitch
Get three sub-tanks and make sure one of your special weapons has less than full power. Then, with the weapon that has less than full power selected, grab a weapon capsule and immediately hit start. If you did it right, you'll have a fourth sub-tank. Fill it using the same method, just don't over fill or you'll delete it and your third one. It recovers health just like the a normal one.
