Foot Capsule
Go to the Chill Penguin stage, and keep going until you find the Capsule. Note to get other capsules, you may first need to get the Foot upgrade.
Head Capsule
Advance ahead in the Storm Eagle stage and keep going until you see a long metal crisscross bar. Go down and drop down. Slide-jump onto the platform to the right. Keep firing at the explosives, and when they explode go into the room to find the capsule.
X-Buster Capsule
Note: You first need the head upgrade. In the Spark Mandrill stage, go to the second dark room. Keep going and look at the ceiling of the stage. If you are quick enough, you should be able to see some blocks that are breakable with the head upgrade. Keep jumping and breaking the blocks to end up in a room with the X-Buster Capsule.
Body Capsule
Go to the Flame Stag stage. You can find the capsule in the stage on a hidden platform in a place where lava appears.
Zero Capsules
One of the Zero Capsules is in the Armored Armadillo stage. When you get to the place with the third mini-train, ride on it. When you are where the little flying birds are located, slide-jump when the car is about to land and crash. Press [B] when facing the wall to climb it to reach a room with the capsule.
In the Wheel Gator stage, go to a room where you can climb to the top/ You will see a hole leading up. Jump over there (the Foot upgrade is required) and climb the wall until reaching the top. An easier way is to charge up the S.Burner move. Let go when jumping over to the other side of the room.
In the Magna Centipede stage, keep going until you reach a part with a hole leading up to the ceiling. Make sure that the box that falls down and shoots you is still hanging on the ceiling. Charge up the S.Burner and fly over there. Climb up to get a capsule.
This capsule is found In the Morph Moth Stage. In the beginning of the stage, keep using the S.Wheel near the magnet part until a hole appears. Go down the hole and the capsule should be there.
The following capsule is only available in hard and xtreme modes. In Morph Moth's zone, go to the auto save platform. Jump into it then hop off to the right. Next, go into your Boss weapons and choose Wheel Gator's weapon. Run over to the wall that is about Megaman's size. Then, turn and face the auto save platform, but keep you back to the wall. Shoot tne Wheel Gator's weapon and it should dig up the ground. Go down the hole to find the capsule
Hidden Moves Capsule
In one of the Sigma stages is a fully spiked wall that you cannot touch. There is a ladder next to it, on the top and the bottom. You need to get to the top ladder in order to get to the hidden capsule. Charge up the R. Shield and slide-jump into the spiked wall. You will not die with the shield on when standing on the spikes. Slide-jump to the left to get to the ladder. Climb up, and go through the enemies and spike with the shield until you reach the end of the room. There is a big hole there. Hold [Left] on the wall on the left and slide down slowly until you fall into a room. The capsule is located there, with the moves from Street Fighter characters Ryu And Ken, the Hadou-ken and the Shoryuken.
To get the hidden capsule in the Sigma Stage, you do not need the R. Shield. Get the Flying Platform from below and guide it to the ladder. You can get the capsule in any mode this way.
Shatokan moves in normal mode
After you pass the first moving platform, you will reach a second one. Navigate this all the way to the top. This may take some practice, but it works. When you reach the top, jump on the platform one final time to move to your right. Jump on the top ladder immediately before the spikes. You will go into an auto save. Charge up your Speed Burner and dash over the spikes. Then, charge it again to jump over the row of spikes and avoid the other spikes after the jump. Slide down the left wall until you go into a piece of the wall. Once there, you will find the Street Fighter moves. You will need all the upgrades to reach the moves.
Unlimited lives
This can only be done after you have unlocked Hard Mode -- you have to go to Morph Moth's stage to do it. When you first start, move forward past the two pillars with robots on them, then dash-jump right from the second pillar and wall jump up. There is an life waiting there. If you have already defeated Morph Moth, you can keep going back and getting it repeatedly.
Shoryu-Ken and the Hadou-Ken
To use the Shoryu-Ken, charge the Mega Buster, hold [Up] and release [B] (if charged manually) or press [B] (if charged automatically). The Hadou-Ken is the same except hold [Down]. The Hadou-Ken resembles Goku's Kama Ma Wave (from Dragon Ball Z) and the Shoryu-Ken looks like Mega Man X4's charged rising fire.
Heart piece
Once you get the Fire Burner, go to Chill Penguin's stage. Get to the part where you get in the robot. Jump across the small canyon and stand on the pillar. Once on the pillar, jump up. As soon as you are in the air, jump out of the robot and wall jump up the rest of the cliff wall. Outside the first building, use your Fire Burner until you destroy it. You will find a heart piece that will give you a little extra health.
Extra lives
This trick is useful if you cannot defeat a Boss. Go to Flame Stag's level (preferably after Flame Stag has already been defeated). At the part immediately after the auto-save, where you have to jump up the walls to avoid the rising lava, go straight. You will see an extra life in a sort of nook. Collect it and quickly exit the level. Repeat this to get up to nine lives.

Defeating Armored Armadillo
Use the Electric Spark to short out his armor, then continue shocking him until he explodes. He will fight back by shooting slow shots or rolling around the room.
Defeating Chill Penguin
Stay high up on the wall. When he jumps at you, blast him with the Speed Burner, or charged shots.
Defeating Flame Stag
He will leap from wall to wall, then off the top of the screen. When he comes down, use the Storm Tornado, then jump to avoid his flame punches.
Defeating Geemel
You will find Geemel in Wheel Gator's stage and in Sigma's fortress. Just jump over his blades, and fry him with the Speed Burner. When you fight him in Sigma's fortress, he will jump on a flying platform halfway through the battle. Keep knocking him off with the Speed Burner.
Defeating Magna Centipede
A Silk Shot blast will blow off his tail. He will then start teleporting around the room. Every time he appears, knock him with another Silk Shot and dodge his occasional spread shots.
Defeating: Morph Moth
He first comes down hanging on a string as a chrysalis. When he spins around the floor, stick to the walls to avoid the junk he tosses up. After he starts hanging again, set him on fire with the Speed Burner, dashing and jumping to stay ahead of his junk spray. After his power is about halfway down, the chrysalis will disappear. Dodge his dust attacks and beam shots and continue igniting him with the Speed Burner.
Defeating Spark Mandrill
Hit him immediately with the Shotgun Ice. He will freeze momentarily, then break out of the ice. He will either dash at you, jump over you, hit the ground to send out sparks, or climb across the ceiling. Avoid his attack and keep using the Shotgun Ice attack.
Defeating Spider
This can be a difficult battle. If it is not shooting little spiders at you, it will descend the poles, using the bars to get across. It cannot be hit until it reaches the bottom and opens its eye - a prime target for your Shotgun Ice. Note: It will always take a bar across if it touches one.
Defeating Serges
Stay on the platform and use the Electric Spark to destroy the four cannons. After Serges is exposed, use charged shots or rapid fire to eliminate him, but watch out for the exploding orbs he sends out.
Defeating Sigma (with sword)
Stay on the wall, and when he starts leaping from side to side, drop and hit him with the Speed Burner. Then, quickly jump back up the wall to avoid him again.
To defeat Sigma (with sword), jump on the wall. Keep jumping so that you stay at the upper corner of the room. Sigma will jump back and forth four times (see diagram). When he jumps to somewhere around point 3, jump away from the wall slightly (not too far because you will have to get back up very fast). While you are falling, hit him with the Speed Burner and drop to the floor. Let him finish getting to point 4 then back down to point 3. Immediately after Sigma leaves the wall at point 3, start jumping up the wall until you are in the corner again. If done correctly, you should be able to get through this battle with most of your health remaining.

This is where you need to get: * ___________________________ |* 4| | | |3 | | | | 2| | | | 1 | |___________________________| </PRE>
Defeating Sigma (in giant body)
Stay off the floor. You are a prime target there for Sigma's spark bursts and flamethrower. Jump up onto his moving hands (stay on the edge of them to avoid the occasional lightning bolt) and hit his little head with charged shots or the Rolling Shield.
When the battle starts Sigma will shoot at you. Run right through it. Then, jump on the right wall and get up in the corner. Keep jumping in the corner while charging up and shooting him at the same time. Note: You have to hit him in the face -- it is the only spot that he can be injured.
Defeating Storm Eagle
When he flaps his wings or uses his Storm Tornado to send you back, just keep dashing at him, firing charged shots. When he flies away then dives at you, just jump out of the way.
Defeating Vile
Jump over him if he gets too close, and blast him with regular or charged shots until he is obliterated.
Defeating Wheel Gator
He often sinks under the oil covering the bottom of the screen, tossing out sawblades at random. Stay on the walls. When he jumps out, he will not be able grab you in his jaws. Hit him with Magnet Mines when he stays up long enough to launch blades off his shoulders. When he opens his mouth to fire regular shots, your shots will bounce off.
Defeating Zain
You will find this opponent in Flame Stag's stage and in Sigma's fortress. As he jumps, dash under him and hit him in the back with Shotgun Ice. In Sigma's fortress, he will land and spin on every third jump -- jump over him once he hits the ground.
Storm Eagle stage: Extra life
After you pass the third platform turtle, stay on the platform and wait for it to go down. When it does, shoot the explosives to get an extra life. This can be repeated up to nine times.
Glitch: Wrong name
On the first introduction level, when X is about to fight Vile, he calls him Vava, which is his Japanese name.
