If you defeat him with the Ray Splasher, he'll explode and you won't see him again. If you have defeated both Bit and Byte with the special weapons, you will have to fight a different boss instead of them later in Doppler's lab.

Vile (Carrier)

In the secret factory level which can be gained from a hidden teleporter located in each stage, you will have to battle Vile. He will begin in his Armored Carrier. It will only have the standard charge and punch attacks. Jump up the wall and jump over him as he charges towards you.

Once you destroy his carrier he will jump out and attack you on foot.

Vile

Jump up the wall and over it to evade it. He will also often fly up into a corner and fire down small bullets that will home in on you in straight lines. Jump up the wall to lure them up there and drop down to avoid them. To defeat him, use the X-Buster or the Ray Splasher if you have it. Shoot him as he lands on the ground and wait for him to move again before firing. If you defeat him with the X-Buster he will escape and you will have to fight him again at the end of the game. If you destroy him with the Ray Splasher, he will explode and you will have to fight a different boss instead of him later in the game.

The following bosses will be fought in Dr Doppler's lab. You will only have to face some of them according to the current status of Vile and Bit/Byte.

Junk Robot
Power: ???rp	Speed: ???rp	Weakness: Ray Splasher	Special Weapon: N/A

You will only have to fight this boss if you have already defeated both Bit and Byte earlier with the special weapon that is their weakness. This boss will take up most of the room, with the main part up in the top right hand corner. There will be a conveyer belt on the floor which will lead into the spike wall at the rear. The device at the top of the screen will often drop down large pieces of junk that will eventually fall into the spikes on the right. During the battle the main part will often come down to the floor and fire out several acid bubbles at you. To defeat it, use the X-Buster or Ray Splasher to first destroy the long nose-shaped part of the main robot. Once it is gone, a large arm will often reach out to X and if it grabs him it will reel him in to the boss and he will cause damage. Try not to let this happen. The boss will also release a green liquid which will fill the room a little so you won't be able to go on the floor anymore as the liquid will cause damage. Continue to shoot the head of the robot with the Ray Splasher while up on the left wall and slide down the wall quickly when the arm comes towards X.

Godkarmachine O Inary

It will have two main attacks. The first will be one of its hands will come out and fly a X, if it grabs you, it will throw X up to the ceiling and bring you back down so that the other hand can fire off and damage you. Try to dodge the first hand before it grabs X. It will also occasionally take out an energy sword and fire off a large energy beam at you which will go up and down the left wall when it hits it. If you are high up on the wall it will fly up to release the weapon. Do not try to dash under it as you lose a life instantly if it crushes X. If you go behind it, it will fire off two energy balls that will home in on X. To defeat it, use the Ray Splasher and shoot the upper part of the body. If the hand grabs you, keep firing at it as you won't be able to move but you can still fire.

Vile - Goliath

He will begin by glowing and then firing out a large energy beam. Jump up the wall to dodge it. He will also be charging around the room often, and will cause you to fall off the walls if he hits it while you're up on one. He will also occasionally fire out three small pellets which will become walls in the room that will trap you if they surround you. Try to jump over him as he charges by first jumping up the walls. To defeat him, use the Parasitic Bomb. When he charges to one side of the room, jump down behind him and fire. Dash to the other side of the room and repeat this process to beat him.

Vile

He will also often jump up and fire out several projectiles that will fly towards you depending on where you are standing. To defeat him, use the Ray Splasher. When he lands shoot him and prepare to dodge the fire-wall again. When he shoots the ice balls jump away to dodge them. When you beat him he will finally admit defeat.

When advancing through Doppler's lab, you will have to fight all of the eight bosses again. Use the same tactics as before and you'll find that they are much easier to defeat the second time.

Dr. Doppler
Power: 17400rp	Speed: 18000rp	Weakness: Acid Burst	Special Weapon: N/A

This is it, the final battle against Dr Doppler himself. He will taunt you at first and will then attack. He will begin by firing three energy balls at you which will fly in straight lines so you can easily dodge them after they are launched. He will then create a red energy field around himself and will fly across the room at you depending on your current position. Jump up high on the wall and drop down to avoid him. He will then hit the wall and drop down. Do not shoot him when he is standing still as he will create a green energy field around himself which will convert your weapon blasts into energy for himself. To defeat him, use the Acid Burst. Only shoot him when he is firing the energy balls or shoot him from behind when he is flying across the room. Just remember not to shoot him when is not moving as he'll regain his health. Once you defeat him he will return to normal and will inform you of Sigma's location.

Sigma
Power: 19000rp	Speed: 19000rp	Weakness: Spinning Blade	Special Weapon: N/A

Sigma will be his usual self and will taunt X before the battle begins. He will start by firing off several fireballs one at a time which will cause heavy damage to X if they hit you. Try to jump up the wall and off again to dodge them. After firing off about seven or eight fireballs, he will jump up to the center of the screen and fire down about three fireballs. He will then jump down to the other side of the room. He will also occasionally throw his shield and it will fly around the room and return to him. To defeat him, use the Spinning Blade. If you try to shoot him when his shield is raised it will block your shot. Try to hit him when he fires as his shield will move out of the way. Shoot him from behind when he jumps up before he lands again. Also try to use a charged-up shot when he jumps up as it will cause much more damage than a normal shot. You can also hit him by jumping up above him when he's standing still and then fire out behind him and the lower blade will fly around and hit him from behind. Try to stay out of contact with him and be careful of his fireballs. Remember to use sub-tanks if your health is low. When you defeat him his final form will appear.

Kaiser Sigma
Power: 32000rp	Speed: 20000rp	Weakness: X-Buster	Special Weapon: N/A

Sigma's final form will be that of a huge armored suit that almost takes up half of the screen. He will begin by hovering up into the air and will fly over to the left side of the room. He will then land and fire out a small mine projectile. If it hits you it will cause heavy damage. He will then fire out several missiles from his armor that will home in on X. He will then hover up again and move to the right side of the screen. He will be continually firing out the small mine weapon. From the right side of the room he will fire out a large purple beam weapon which will be fired either up high or directed down depending on your position. Try to stay out of the beam's range as it will cause continuous damage. He will then fly over to the left side again and repeat the sequence again. To defeat him, you will have to successfully hit his head with a charged-up shot from the X-Buster. When he lands, jump up the wall and fire at his shoulder pads and the blast should fly through them and hit his head, causing damage. You will need to hit him many times before he goes down. Just make sure that you stay out the range of the large beams and try to avoid the mines and missiles. You will need to use sub-tanks often during the battle. When you manage to defeat him, he will reappear as the virus form he had in MMX2. The battle will be over, but the game will continue. The room will begin to fill with lava and the screen will move up, leading you up a tall shaft. Jump up the walls but be careful of Sigma as he will often charge at you and cause you to fall down. If you fall in the lava, try to jump up out of it onto the right wall or use the mid-air dash to escape it. Eventually there will be a large opening on the right and once you get up to the platform the final cutscene will roll and Sigma will be destroyed by either Zero or Dr Doppler depending on whether or not Zero was damaged earlier in the game. Once Sigma is destroyed X and Zero will escape the lab and you will have finally beaten the game!
