Scorpion Mechaniloid
Stage: Intro Stage	Weakness: Z-Saber	Recommended Characters: Axl, Zero	Difficulty: Very Easy
X and Axl's Weapons: N/A		Zero's Technique: N/A
This boss is pretty easy. Your first target is his tail. As he is standing in front of you, he may fire plasma shots from his tail. Reflect them by slashing them back. They won't damage him but it won't hit you at least. When he dashes to the other side of the screen, slash his tail until it explodes. Your next target is his claws. Once he is facing you, slash them to damage them. He will dash back and forth all the time so place yourself in front of him and slash his claws. When they explode, he will explode.

Soldier Stonekong
Stage: Deep Forest	Weakness: Hadangeki	Recommended Characters: Axl, Zero	Difficulty: Easy
X and Axl's Weapons: Gaea Shield		Zero's Technique: Gokumonken
When the battle starts he will throw his tiny shield around the arena. Double-jump over it to dodge it. Try to stand in front of him when he throws the shield. Then slash him as much as possible before the shield returns. After it returns, he will dash-jump towards you. Jump over him and then run after him. Once he stops, slash him again. His next attack is when he jumps onto the cylinder-like obstacle in the middle. From there, he will create a huge rock which will split into two parts. These will fly in the opposite directions to each other. When they touch each other, they'll explode. Double-jump to dodge them. He has another attack which he won't use very often. If you stand near him while he still has his shield on his back, he will raise his sword and slash powerfully. This will take half of your life, so watch out. The sword and shield can be destroyed though. When he throws his shield, slash him at his back and it'll explode.

Tornado Tonion
Stage: Radio Tower	Weakness: Gokumonken	Recommended Characters: Axl, Zero	Difficulty: Easy
X and Axl's Weapons: Volt Tornado (+Ray Gun)		Zero's Technique: Raijinshou
Once the battle starts, walk forward and slash him once. He will now begin to spin, creating a huge electric tornado around himself. If he catches you, you will fly to the top and then fall down and take heavy damage. Run and dash around to evade it. When he stops, dash over and slash him. He will also take parts from his body and create either a long blade which he will swing or a tiny barrier which he fires away towards you. Evade the barrier by walking away and evade the blade by jumping. While some parts are gone, dash towards him and slash him because the places where he has no parts left are now a more vulnerable point.

Splash Warfly
Stage: Battleship	Weakness: Raijinshou	Recommended Characters: Zero, X	Difficulty: Normal
X and Axl's Weapons: Splash Laser		Zero's Technique: Suiretsusen (+D-Glaive)
Splash Warfly will begin running around and swinging his long blade. Run around to evade being hit. This is his main attack. He has four other attacks out of this one. The first one is when he fires water beams against you. He will often fire three in a row, then switch to another attack. Jump to evade his beams. His second attack is when he uses a huge wave of water with short attacking range. Just stand a bit away from him and you should evade the attack. His third and fourth attacks are his two thrusting attacks. When he uses the first one, he will just thrust at you. While using the second one, he will slash twice. Jump around to evade them. Your chance will come now. When he jumps down into the water, he will appear somewhere else on the platform. Just when he appears, release the Raijinshou and he will be damaged. He will now jump down into the water again. Repeat the tactic again and he should be defeated soon enough.

Flame Hyenard
Stage: Lava Factory	Weakness: Suiretsusen	Recommended Characters: X, Zero	Difficulty: Normal
X and Axl's Weapons: Circle Blaze (+Double Bullet)		Zero's Technique: Bakuenjin
Once the battle starts, equip the D-Glaive. In your first sight, you will see two Flame Hyenards. Don't attack them. If you do and destroy one, another one will appear. Look at the giant hyena which is walking around the platform you're on. Walk over to it and slash at its legs to make it stop walking. Climb up its legs and you will see the real Flame Hyenard on the giant hyena's head. Make him come to you and he will call up his copies. They will now run around you in a circle, firing fireballs at you. These are very weak though, so don't care about them. The giant hyena will also walk while you're on it, making it harder for you to stay on it. The three Flame Hyenards will see this as you're trying to escape and they will all attack you. So try staying on the hyena. Keep your eyes on the real Flame Hyenard. When he is in front of you, use the Suiretsusen technique by pressing the triangle button with the D-Glaive equipped and Zero will thrust attack him. The copies will vanish and Flame Hyenard will take heavy damage. He will now create two new copies and you simply have to do the same thing again. When his life is pretty low, the giant hyena will fire missiles from his back. Run around to avoid being hit by them.

Ride Boarski
Stage: Central Circuit	Weakness: Bakuenjin	Recommended Characters: X, Axl	Difficulty: Normal
X and Axl's Weapons: Moving Wheel		Zero's Technique: Zankourin
Have your Z-Saber equipped when you begin this battle. Ride Boarski will drive around you most of the time. Sometimes, he will create three tiny wheels which will drive behind him. This can confuse you as they look like Ride Boarski. But Ride Boarski will have red energy around him as he drives, making it easier than you think. When he stops, walk over to him and attack him. Use the Bakuenjin if you'd like to. You can only us the Bakuenjin twice though, so save it for the prefect moment. He will try to ram you sometimes. He will do this by driving into you, making you stunned. He will then pick you up on his tusks and drive you into a wall, making you take heavy damage. Be on your guard to avoid being hit. When you see an orange ball in the middle, look out as it will create three long arms which will spin around for a little while. Jump over the arms to evade them.

Snipe Anteator
Stage: Cyber Field	Weakness: Zankourin	Recommended Characters: X, Axl	Difficulty: Hard
X and Axl's Weapons: Sniper Missile		Zero's Technique: Hieijin
If you intend to use Zero in this battle, you should do the following. Equip the Z-Saber in this battle and walk over to him when the battle starts. Slash him until he begins to move. He will attack you by spinning around, smashing you with his large tail. He is able to walk all around the cylinder, by you're not as you can only walk on the upper side. He may sometimes set out bombs, shaped as ants. Don't walk too near them as they will detonate where you are. Put some distance between you and them. Once Snipe Anteator is on the upper side, release the Zankourin. It won't inflict very much damage though. Once he begins to fire missiles after you, you should try to evade them, though it's hard to. Try using the Gokumonken to defend yourself from the missiles. Either way, run away as good as you can. When you see some balls around him, you should really watch out as these will move very fast after each other. And they will also fire at you. Try to hit Snipe Anteator as much as you can to destroy him. It may take a few turns before you succeed.

Wind Crowrang
Stage: Air Forces	Weakness: Hieijin	Recommended Characters: X, Axl	Difficulty: Normal
X and Axl's Weapons: Wind Cutter		Zero's Technique: Souenbu (+V-Hanger)
This boss is fought on top of a plane. This guy can fly both in the background as well as fighting on the ground. While he is flying in the background, use the Hieijin to fire a missile at him. From there, he is able to attack you in two different moves. The first attack is when he fires a boomerang-shaped obstacle at you. This will return to him if it doesn't hit anything. Dodge the shot by dashing away. Once he vanishes from the background, he will try to attack you from above. He will do this by diving straight downwards. Dash away when you see his shadow. Once on the ground, he will use a dashing slashing attack. He will dash forward and slash at you. Jump over him and give him another slash or use the Hieijin to attack him.

Vanishing Gungaroo
Stage: Tunnel Base	Weakness: Souenbu	Recommended Characters: X, Axl	Difficulty: Normal
X and Axl's Weapons: Explosion (+G-Launcher)		Zero's Technique: Hadangeki
Once the battle starts, you must use the Ride Armor beside you to defeat his Ride Armor. Give him some punches to destroy the armor. When his armor is defeated, try to give him some more punches before he destroys your Ride Armor. Now you will battle a fast tiny Maverick. He will jump around in the room and try to kick or shoot you. Once he jumps around, launch the Souenbu to damage him a little. Try to attack him with your Z-Saber if you're able to. When he kicks at you, jump away to evade his attack. Once he tries to fire at you, double-jump or dash away to evade him. When half his life is gone, he will charge up and become faster. Try to use the same tactics as before.

The following bosses will be fought in the final stages.

Bulldozer Mechaniloid
Stage: Palace Road	Weakness: Suiretsusen	Recommended Characters: X, Zero	Difficulty: Normal
X and Axl's Weapons: N/A		Zero's Technique: N/A
Once the battle starts, equip the D-Glaive. This guy will chase you through the whole stage before you fight him. His main attack is when he drives from the right to the left and vice versa. Walk up and down to dodge him when he comes driving, or jump over him. His second attack is when he begins to charge. He will then release a powerful plasma beam. Place yourself beneath him and use the Suiretsusen to damage him heavily. Or you can jump over it to dodge it as he will move his nose up and down. After his beam attack, he will probably use his driving attack again, or he may use the beam attack once more. Be sure to check him from which way he comes driving. Also, always stand beneath him and use the Suiretsusen while he is using the beam attack because it will inflict high damage on him.

Red
Stage: Crimson Palace	Weakness: Hadangeki	Recommended Characters: X, Zero	Difficulty: Hard
X and Axl's Weapons: N/A		Zero's Technique: N/A
If you really intend to use Zero in this battle, you should do the following. Once the battle starts, quickly move over to a platform in front of him and release the Hadangeki attack. He will take some damage before he teleports to another platform. Once he is attacked, he will fire an energy wave at you. It can be either horizontal or vertical. Use the Hadangeki again to damage him. Red will teleport from one platform to another very often through the battle. After every teleport, he will create two copies of himself which will first flash beside you before they attack you quickly. Once you see them flashing beside you, jump to another platform to evade their attack. He will also use a tornado attack. Once you see something pink appear on the platforms, quickly jump to another platform as huge tornados will appear. As his life lowers, he will become faster in his teleportations making it harder for you to hit him. Once you see him clearly, release the Hadangeki to damage him.

When advancing through the final stage, you will have to fight all of the eight Mavericks again. Utilise the same tactics and techniques as before to defeat them, and remember to pick up the life and weapon energy refills between each battle.

X and Axl's Weapons: N/A		Zero's Technique: N/A
In this battle, be sure to equip the Z-Saber. Sigma’s Final Form has 150% life energy, meaning he has one and a half energy life bar while the other bosses had only 100% life energy. Walk to the very top of the spiral-like battlefield. He has five attacks which he will use. The first one is his bombing attack where he will charge up green fireballs in his hands. These will fly up into the air and then fall down on where you were standing. Walk down the platforms to evade them. They will explode once they’ve landed. His second attack is when he appears very near to you. He will do a powerful breathing attack at you. Stand in front of him and slash. You're able to destroy his plasma balls while he is breathing as well as hitting his head, which is the main target. His third is the long purple beam sweep, simply jump over the beam as it sweeps past to avoid it. If he begins spinning around in the background he'll release four fireballs, jump and dash around frantically to avoid them as they home in. His fifth attack is his most powerful one. He will appear far away from you and launch a forceful punch at you. Jump to the left or right to evade it. Once his fist is placed beside you, slash at his head. When half his life is gone he will lose his mask and his real face is shown. He will be a little faster in his moves, making it harder for you to hit him.
