Items Guide

The item list shows where all the special items are to be found and how they can help out X, Zero and Axl. The list includes the locations of the eight energy hearts in each of the main stages, the two energy tanks, the special weapon and EX tank and the Dr. Light capsules for X's new Glide Armor.

Energy hearts will allow X, Zero and Axl to hold more energy, making them stronger and able to survive longer in battle. There are eight in total to find. Keep in mind that whoever picks up the heart will receive extra life energy, but not the other two characters.

Energy Tanks will allow the Hunters to store energy to be used during battle if their energy is low. They are important and very useful. There are two in total. The Glide Armor will allow X to become much stronger and able to perform special abilities, including gliding through the air.

Missing Reploids
	128 stranded reploids are scattered throughout the eight Maverick stages and need your help. Each one has their own unique name and you'll easily spot them via the "HELP!" message above them. Quickly touch them to rescue them safely, as if an enemy touches them or shoots them they'll die. Some reploids have special items for you which you'll see after completing the stage. They can be carrying a Power-Up Part chip, an extra life, a life energy boost or a weapon energy boost. These are all very useful so it's well worth your while searching for and rescuing these reploids.

Energy hearts
	Soldier Stonekong Stage While you're walking through the stage, you'll eventually encounter the stone-head enemies. Once you find the fifth once, destroy it to find the heart beneath it.
	Tornado Tonion Stage As you're walking up the tower, you will encounter a large hole in the ground. To get over it, you must jump on wooden crates which will appear and then vanish after a few seconds. Jump to the second one and wait for it to vanish. You will fall right onto the heart.
	Splash Warfly Stage After conquering the three Serpents in the second area, check behind a crate up ahead (in the third area) on the left to find this heart concealed there.
	Flame Hyenard Stage In the second section, you will have to jump from platform to platform. When you find the first pipe that fires green gas, jump down onto the pipe to find the heart on it.
	Ride Boarski Stage As you're driving through the stage, you'll eventually get to a part with pink lanes on both sides of you. Drive near the right side to grab the heart.
	Snipe Anteator Stage In the second section of the stage, there will be orange platforms which allow you to walk upside down. As you start, walk left and you will see the heart clearly. Jump on the nearest orange platform and then walk left while beneath the platforms. Jump up the next orange platform and you'll get the heart.
	Wind Crowrang Stage In the beginning of the stage, you will eventually have to jump onto a red plane which will explode. The heart will come flying towards you, so wait until you see it and then jump to grab it. This may take a few tries to grab it successfully.
	Vanishing Gungaroo Stage In the very last room of the stage, in the room where you have to destroy the specific amount of Robot Ride Armor enemies shown in the bottom corner of the screen, there will be pillars around the room. Climb up one of them to find the heart.

Energy Tanks
	Splash Warfly Stage In the second section of the stage, right before the three Serpent enemies, look behind the crate on the left and you will find the Energy Tank.
	Vanishing Gungaroo Stage In the very last room of the stage, in the room where you have to destroy the specific amount of Robot Ride Armor enemies shown in the bottom corner of the screen, there will be pillars around the room. Climb up one of them to find the Energy Tank.

Weapon Tank
	Ride Boarski Stage Near the beginning of the stage where there are several crates stacked about, wait for the crates to explode and the Weapon Tank will be hidden behind it on the left side of the track.

EX Tank
	Soldier Stonekong Stage You must use Zero to get this one. At the very end of the stage, when you find the last stone-head enemy, climb up on its head and wait for it to rise. Then double-jump to find the tank in the bushes over you on the left.

Robot Ride armor

	Ride Chaser
You'll use the Ride Chaser in Ride Boarski's stage only. It won't travel as fast as it did in previous titles, so you'll have a great amount of control over the bike. Hold X down to accelerate, but check your speed as there's plenty of obstacles on the course. Use the Square button to fire the bike's blaster, and hold it down for a Charge Shot. Try to avoid striking enemies as you'll still take damage from them.

Helmet Upgrade	Stage: Snipe Anteator

Near the end of the second area you'll see a Samurai passing through a wall between two orange platforms. Jump into the teleporter on the first platform to flip upside down, then head right to find a large orange platform there. Jump into the teleporter and you'll reappear right next to the capsule.
