The purpose of this page is to document all the known tricks of the SNES Mega Man X games so far.
Because of the nature of this site, we concentrate here on tricks that are nearly difficult to play in real play, but are useful in the making of tool-assisted speedruns. For most of the tricks, a frame advance feature in an emulator is a definite must-have.
In this X series, Capcom has fixed many of the glitches that affected the original series, and introduced new ones. Although the famous zip-through-level structure glitch has been dealt with, new features such as X’s dash, dynamic weapons and boss reactions to weapon hits have added new ones. The game also uses scripts for dialogs, some of which can be glitched.
Table of contents
Blinking, blink
When X, Zero, or enemy bosses are shot, they’ll blink for a while. During this blinking, no shots will harm them (invulnerability). Also known as flashing.
Dash-jumping, dash-jump
On the ground, dashing, then jumping before the dash ends. On a wall, pressing dash and jumping at the same time. A dash-jump has more horizontal speed than a normal jump.
Dash movement
A situation where X is either in the air after dash-jumping or air-dashing, or is dashing along the ground.
Event script
An event script, in this text, refers to timing commands executed when performing some action. The action may be the start of a cutscene.
Frame
The time it takes for a game to refresh the screen when running a game (excluding lag). Most systems update the screen at 50 or 60 frames per second. In terms of tool-assisted movies, a frame is the smallest unit of time.
Invincibility, invincible, invincible for n[1] frames
Invincibility, in gaming context, usually refers to a temporary state when the boss cannot be harmed. Invincibility does not necessarily imply that a boss is impossible to defeat. Invincibility is also known as immunity, especially when referring to specific weapons.
Ladder top
The top of a ladder which is about 6-7 pixels in height and where X cannot jump through easily.
Lag
Slowing of the game due to many on-screen objects.
Mavericks
The primary enemy force in the X series. Sometimes refers to the eight main bosses from which X steals their weapons when he defeats them; such weapons are called “special weapons” or “Maverick weapons”.
Mega Man X (character)
Official name of the player-controlled protagonist who is also known as Rockman X or simply X.
Pixel
Short for picture element. The smallest unit of a digital bitmap image.
Powerup
A bonus item, such as an energy pill or an extra life. Acquired by destroying enemies. Subject to luck manipulation.
Thin floor
A floor 6-7 pixels in vertical height which is coincident with a ladder top.
Walking, walk
In this text, walking means not dashing (when travelling along the ground).
Wall-jumping, wall-jump, jump off/up wall
Jumping off a wall when close enough. It is also possible to dash-jump off a wall. The word “wall-jumping” may imply dash-jumping off a wall, as it does in this text.
X, Xn[1]
Sometimes, you see X, X1, X2, X3. What does that mean?
  • X refers to Mega Man X (character).
  • X1, X2, X3, refer to the games Mega Man X, Mega Man X2, and Mega Man X3, respectively.
  • X series refers to the Mega Man X series.
  • X-Buster refers to the X-Buster weapon that X has.
Zero
Official name of the character who helps X in fighting the Mavericks. Zero is player-controllable in MMX3.
TODO: Improve these sections. Add more images. Reorder the footnotes. Explain the intro skip trick.

The basic techniques

Fastest method of movement

This section will be brief. It is recommended to check Rockman Tricks; the methods are similar.

Vertical movement (ladders, wall-jumping)

Upward:
It is best to alternate jumping between two close walls at 13-14 frames per jump, or as few frames per jump as possible without going under 13. If the two walls are too far apart, it is better to jump up the same wall at 20-21 frames per jump.
Wall-jumping is faster than climbing ladders.[8]
The tops of the walls that hold the ladder act as a ceiling, in order to discourage players from simply trying to jump through. However, there is a slight hole, located at the center of the top of the ladder, that allows you to jump through. When between the ladder top, it acts like a wall, so X can wall-jump off of it. It is faster than grabbing the ladder.
See also Jumping off sloped ground below.
Downward:
To save time falling down a pit or shaft, jump ahead of time and just barely miss the edge of the hole. The result is that X pre-accelerates himself into the hole and starts his descent with more than zero vertical velocity. Get as much velocity as possible before dropping down.
Before climbing down onto a ladder, walk one frame to reduce stopping animation delay. After climbing down onto the ladder, release the ladder at the first frame possible; do not climb down the ladder.

Horizontal movement

From slowest to fastest (in general):
See Jumping off sloped ground below.
See also Resetting the mid-air dash below.
Apart from boosting X faster than dashing would, X also maintains this speed in air afterward, as long as X does not contact wall or ground, perform an air dash, or jump off the surface of water.
See Strike Chain below.
The fire button charges up the Rabbit’s drills. When released, the Rabbit lunges forward at a high speed, but through a short distance. If the Rabbit is positioned as to lunge off an edge, it will start using its jets (if jump is pressed), but will maintain lunging speed.
It would seem that one would jump, and then keep the button held down in order to get the optimum use out of the jets. However, by tapping the jump button in midair, the Rabbit can gain tremendous horizontal movement.
Combining these two tricks above allows you to cover a great distance in a short time.
See Collision glitches below. Apparently, in this series, it is only possible to zip through sprite blocks, not fixed walls or ceilings.
The high-speed conduits are the mine cart in MMX1, and the boost slopes in MMX2, MMX3. When jumping off, speed is maintained as long as X does not contact wall or ground. Note that high-speed conduits positively affect speed in one direction and negatively affect speed in the other direction.

Dash-jump off a ladder top (acting like a wall) at its lowest point for horizontal movement

Normally, after releasing a ladder going down, X is not in dash movement. To quickly put X in dash movement, perform a dash-jump off the ladder top. Perform this at its lowest point to prevent X from jumping back through the ladder.

Luck Manipulation

Item drops

For the most part, don’t bother. However:

Boss action manipulation

Boss manipulation is usually important.

Methods of luck manipulation

Compared to the Mega Man series, it is harder to luck-manipulate. Simply doing a different dance won’t do it.
Luck manipulation methods from best to worst:

Weapon Glitches

Passing through enemies

In some situations, the best way to get around an enemy is to go through it, without taking damage. Sometimes when an enemy is in continuous contact with a certain weapon, collision checks are ignored. Note that charged Chameleon Sting allows passing through enemies because it was designed to do so; thus, it is not listed.
Charged Rolling Shield (MMX1): Even if an enemy destroys the charged Rolling Shield by contact, it won’t do collision checks on X for about 7 frames.
Charged Speed Burner (MMX2): X’s Speed Burner dash allows passing through all non-underwater enemies.
Silk Shot (MMX2): Sometimes, the shrapnel from this weapon stops collision checks until the enemy is already destroyed.
Tornado Fang (MMX3): If an enemy can be hit by Tornado Fang, it won’t do collision checks for about 15 frames.

Dashing uncharged X-Buster

By dashing and then shooting uncharged X-Buster shots, the first that comes out does more damage than when not dashing. Specifically, in Mega Man X & X2 only, this shot does 2 damage to bosses, rather than the normal 1 (this does not hold true against a couple bosses in Mega Man X2, or against Mega Man X3 bosses except the intro boss which takes 4 instead of 3). The technique works as long as you are in some type of dash movement, including jumping after dashing, and dashing off of a ledge.

Shooting while charged and remaining charged (MMX1, MMX2)

After the boss does its little intro dance, if you fire just as you regain control of X and you are charged up, you shoot a normal shot while keeping the charge. This trick works with any weapon. A possible use is to gain an extra second to charge up when only partially charged.

Point blank shrapnel weapons (MMX1, MMX2)

By combining the concept of Sigma’s Broken Sword Defense below with weapons which release shrapnel when they hit (Shotgun Ice and Silk Shot), you can shoot these weapons at point blank inside most small minor enemies and have both the main shot and some (or possibly all) of the scattering shots hit as well. This may be used to cause increased damage or to have the shrapnel shots disappear from the screen quicker.

Strike Chain (MMX2)

The Strike Chain is a weapon and grappling hook with many properties that are important in a speedrun:
The Strike Chain pulls X toward a wall. This method of horizontal movement is one of the fastest in the game, even though it is brief and limited. When charged, it pulls X even faster and from further away.
As the Strike Chain pulls X, vertical speed is preserved. X’s speed only resets if he reaches the end of the Strike Chain. If the Strike Chain pull is cancelled before then (by pressing opposite direction to the pull), X drops off the Strike Chain at the same vertical downward speed as when before being pulled, or even jump upward slightly if X was jumping upward before being pulled.
X can enter thin floors with Strike Chain. If X fires a Strike Chain prior to climbing down a ladder, the Strike Chain will continue and grab the interior of a thin floor when X climbs down. As a result, X is pulled into the floor. When X is inside the floor, it functions as a ladder. This trick does not work on floors with walls underneath.
The Strike Chain can reset vertical speed. If a Strike Chain grapples something and either pulls X completely or not at all, it resets vertical speed. Simply using Strike Chain close to an overhang resets vertical speed while keeping dash movement.

Beam Saber[2] (MMX3)

The Beam Saber is the secret weapon that kills bosses in two hits. Yet much time can be saved from efficient usage:

Beam Saber double-jump (MMX3)

If X swings his Beam Saber either during the part of the wall-jump where the player has no control or during an air dash, and jump is held down, X immediately jumps up as if he jumped from ground. Combined with switching weapons to regain control, X can gain additional height and even air-dash again. Note that this trick alone cannot put X in dash movement.

Zero’s continuous Beam Saber (MMX3)

During the time when you control Zero, if you have Zero slash with the Beam Saber, then rapidly jump (once every 4 or 5 frames) Zero will keep the sword out and it will continue to damage enemies. This trick is not particularly useful, mainly due to not needing to control Zero for most of the game.



Taking damage to save time

Cancelling damage animation near a wall

If you press left or right to grab a wall when X is forced toward it from being damaged, damage animation will be cancelled. Not only does this save time, but it prevents X from falling a long distance or recoiling, and thus plays a vital part in spike-shaft climbing. This trick is the main reason why it is sometimes faster to take damage than to go around an enemy.

Touching lethal ground while damaged

By now, everybody should be familiar with this. If you get damaged by an enemy, in many games there is a time of recovery in which you can not only touch other enemies and not get hurt, but even touch normally lethal ground (i.e . spikes). While by now this is nothing special, there are situations in the Mega Man X series where using this can actually save you from having to get a weapon and backtrack to a level you already visited in order to use it to get a Heart Tank or Sub-Tank. You can also climb spiked shafts rapidly without using platforms if there are enemies around.

Getting height from hit recovery

A rarely necessary trick, if you get hit while you are in the air, you will very slightly ascend due to the hit recovery animation. Thus, you can technically gain additional height during a jump by getting hit while you are at its peak.

Other basic techniques

Collision glitches

There are far fewer opportunities to exploit collision glitches than in the NES series, but they are there nonetheless. Simply put, if you jump up into certain platforms which are moving down, often you will be pushed to the right or left depending on whether more of your body is on the left or right side of the platform(it has nothing to do with which way you’re facing, unlike the former collision glitches). The speed at which you pass through the platform is greater than just about any other available form of movement. The most obvious area to test this in is in Magna Centipede’s level in Mega Man X2, in which blocks constantly fall down in an attempt to crush you.

Water Hopping (MMX2, MMX3)

By tapping jump while on any body of water’s surface, it is possible to hop along the water, giving you the ability to cross it without ever having to dive down. This technique can be enhanced by dashing onto the surface of the water, so that distance between water hops is made greater.

Jumping off sloped ground

If you jump while walking (not running) down a slope, your jump will be higher than normal. Sometimes, this trick allows you to gain access to areas usually only accessible through other means, but is more often used either to barely make it over a wall or to jump earlier than normal to reach an overhang (if coming from the bottom of the slope). Note that up-slopes are also down-slopes in disguise; when going up a slope, press the opposite direction for a couple frames and jump.
Sloped ground also gives a horizontal boost, whether walking (not dashing) downward on it or jumping off of it. This trick is useful for when you do not have the dash (in the first part of MMX1).

Double triangle-hop

Surprisingly, walls are bordered by several pixels which you can jump off of. That is to say, if you jumped towards a wall, you would have a timeframe of several pixels before you physically touch the wall in which you could jump off of it. If the jump you are about to make requires very precise timing, it is possible to jump off of one of the pixels closer to the wall, and then as you ascend off of it jump a second time in order to gain those one or two extra pixels of height.

Resetting the mid-air dash (MMX2)

Normally, after either jumping while dashing or using the leg upgrade to perform a mid-air dash after jumping, a second mid-air dash cannot be performed. However, by using either the charged Rushing Burner or the Giga Crush, additional mid-air dashes can be performed. A less efficient way that can be used in any one of the games is to grasp onto the bottom of a wall at the very last moment and dash immediately after. While the wall grasping takes a small amount of time, it is sometimes necessary.

Bosses

Abnormal boss recoveries

While in general, bosses have a one-second invincibility after being hit, there are exceptions. A concept that occurs in the X-series and not in the original is that sometimes stunning the boss with his weak weapon will make him do some different action. Occasionally, these different action can force invincibility on or off at certain points. It is this forcing on or off of invincibility that causes glitches. Not all tricks are glitches; some tricks simply take advantage of the programmers’ erroneous assumptions concerning invincibility.
Spark Mandrill (MMX1): After striking Spark Mandrill with Shotgun Ice, he will turn frozen and become invincible for the normal amount of time. Though it cannot be seen, he becomes vulnerable again while he is still frozen.
Overdrive Ostrich (MMX2): When using Crystal Hunter on Overdrive Ostrich, his recovery pattern is very similar to Spark Mandrill’s, allowing you to hit him while he still appears to be frozen. The only difference is that he blinks for a very brief period before going invulnerable again, giving you a very small window of opportunity during this blinking period to hit him.
Overdrive Ostrich (MMX2) (again): After Overdrive Ostrich is hit with Crystal Hunter, he breaks out of his frozen animation and jumps (invincibility is forced on here), and just before he shoots his Sonic Slicer, he can be hit (preferably not with Crystal Hunter). At the point when he shoots his Sonic Slicer, invincibility is forced off and he can be hit again.
Toxic Seahorse (MMX3): If Toxic Seahorse is hit with Frost Shield above a certain height, there will be a time between when he stops blinking and when he breaks out of stun animation. In this time, you can hit him as much as you can and he won’t even have any invincibility. To top it off, after he recovers, you can hit him again even while he is blinking.
Volt Catfish (MMX3): Volt Catfish’s super electric charge, the attack that turns him all blue, also turns off invincibility to Tornado Fang. Although he is immune to most weapons in this state, he is not immune to Tornado Fang. Even then, it is still best to avoid using Tornado Fang since it gives him a three-second invincibility (thus, prevent Volt Catfish from using this attack as long as possible).
Crush Crawfish (MMX3): Similar to Toxic Seahorse. If hit by Triad Thunder, there is a time between when he breaks out of stun animation and when he stops blinking (other way around compared to Toxic Seahorse). Although many bosses do this and not suffer the glitch, Crush Crawfish is an exception. In this time, you can hit him as much as you can (preferably with a rapid-fire weapon instead of with Triad Thunder) and he won’t even have any invincibility.
Neon Tiger (MMX3): It seems strange, but Neon Tiger loses invincibility when he performs his next action from the ground, probably from trying to remove invincibility in the case he used his block move. So you hit him just before he performs his next action, invincibility is forced off, and you hit him again. This only works when Neon Tiger is on the ground.
Gravity Beetle (MMX3): Gravity Beetle’s color flashing renders him invincible to everything except Ray Splasher. If hit by Ray Splasher, Gravity Beetle will not only stop flashing, but also lose invincibility; thus Ray Splasher can deal damage immediately afterward. In this manner, if you also hit him just before he flashes (say with X-Buster), you can hit him twice quickly.
Blast Hornet (MMX3): The Gravity Well does damage to Blast Hornet in a unique way and seems to have nothing to do with invincibility. In the case of a charged Gravity Well, the damage is not supposed to be delivered until the gravity effect times out. However, entering and leaving the sub-screen on a different weapon after Blast Hornet is stunned instantly clears the effect and does damage faster. Gravity Well gives Blast Hornet no invincibility when it hits so you can just hit him when he recovers; the blinking is there for show. Despite all this, Gravity Well is still considered an inefficient weapon against Blast Hornet in a speedrun.

Defeating bosses fast to avoid long invincibility

Wire Sponge (MMX2): If Wire Sponge’s health goes below 12, then after he completes his current action, he becomes invincible for a long time while using his lightning attack. The key phrase is after he completes his current action, which may never occur if you make him hang on the ceiling while throwing thorn seeds. Shoot the thorns, don’t go under him, and don’t use Sonic Slicer during this time (unless it’s the last hit).



Wheel Gator (MMX2): There are two parts. First, Wheel Gator can be hit with Strike Chain before he sinks in the water at the beginning. This trick can be pulled off even in the rematch and with all upgrades, when you must switch from X-Buster to Item Tracer just before you drop into the room and rapidly from Item Tracer through 4 weapons to Strike Chain (it’s extremely close to not working). Second, whenever Wheel Gator is hit with Strike Chain, he will attempt to go back underwater, but there is a small timeframe when he can be hit with the Strike Chain again. Thus, keep hitting Wheel Gator with the Strike Chain to defeat him quickly.



Bosses that recover like minibosses

Vile (MMX1): Vile actually has a recovery time similar to that of a miniboss. That being said, there is no need for timing, just blast him quickly and continuously to finish him in under 5 seconds.
Velgauder[7] (MMX1): Like Vile, Velgauder (colloquially known as “Sigma’s Dog”) has a recovery time similar to that of a miniboss. Unfortunately, the weapon of choice, Shotgun Ice, does not disappear on impact. This makes this battle difficult to speed because you need to wait until the pellets clear the screen before firing again. However, if he is close to cornering you, you can fire shots off very quickly, as long as you are facing the direction which makes the pellets disappear the fastest.
Sigma Virus (MMX2): Also known as Neo Sigma[6], Sigma Virus has a recovery similar to a miniboss (in this game, around 30 frames recovery). Assuming you don’t have Shouryuken, shoot it with the Strike Chain and Sigma Virus will fall quickly even with its massive 64 health, which is hidden from the player.

Sigma’s Broken Sword Defense (MMX1)

Typically, when Sigma uses his “lightsaber” to block shots, you can’t hit him with Electric Spark because the sword sprite becomes a wall, causing the weapon to split vertically before it gets to Sigma. However, when X fires next to a wall, his arm cannon goes about 3 or 4 pixels into it. Using this, you can “jam” sparks into Sigma’s face by firing point blank at his defensive stance.

Dialog and event script tricks

Intro Skip

TODO

Vile-Zero dialog bug (MMX1)

During the Sigma 1 Stage of Megaman X, there is an obligatory Vile-Zero cut-scene where the game stops for dialog boxes to open. This scene is triggered by X dropping to the ground where the boss’ door. By dropping from the ladder and climbing the wall on the left, you can clear the ground and avoid the cutscene altogether. The dialog will still show up, however, it will happen during the fight. If you manipulate it well enough, you can cut Zero’s “I’m not through yet!” dialog opening and closing, causing the scene to go faster. Unfortunately, you still need to see the speech in order for the plot to continue. It should also be noted you cannot press start to skip the text, or else the weapon select screen will show up.

Sigma-Zero dialog bugs (MMX2)

The origin of this trick is that the X series of games for the SNES allows multiple event scripts to execute concurrently, even though they usually end up breaking each other. There are two versions of this glitch, both requiring all the Zero parts:
1) By Shouryukening into the center of the room with Chop Register during the final level, you place X in the middle instead of his normal location. When Zero punches a hole in the floor, X simply falls in and the script where Sigma prepares for his first attack runs at the same time as Zero saying “Sigma lies just ahead.” Obviously this trick requires collecting all of Zero’s parts and the Shouryuken. For some invincibility fun, see Shouryuken invincibility while playing below.
2) From the rightmost point where you still maintain control of X, it is possible to dash and use shouryuken so that X ends up right between Sigma and his black Zero. From so far in, when Zero shoots at Sigma, he will hit X instead, giving him control. Then, just jump into the hole Zero makes and continue as above/below (if using shouryuken later, use a sub-tank to refill health).

Shouryuken[3] invincibility while playing (MMX2)

Note: These are probably not of serious interest in a speedrun. They are completely out of the way or will most likely not save very much time, if any.
There are at least 4 places in the game where the Shouryuken can be used to make X invincible. The trick involves glitching an event script into executing what would be the “Gain Control of X” command while you already have control of X and are performing a Shouryuken.
The first and most well known is during the first battle with Neo Sigma[6]. Perform the Zero-Sigma dialog bug. When Sigma’s health gauge is charging, perform a Shouryuken anywhere. If you are still doing it when the gauge reaches maximum, you will stop in midair and be invincible for the remainder of the battle unless you Shouryuken again or beat Sigma.
The others are in Morph Moth’s stage, Magna Centipede’s (without Sigma), and Bubble Crab’s. For Morph Moth’s, simply Shouryuken into the battle room with the second junk robot miniboss.
For Magna Cenipede, you will need a sub tank. Shouryuken into Chop Register’s room as far as you can. You will be hit by the materializing sword and regain control. Heal up and perform the Shouryuken as the battle would start. In Bubble Crab’s level, use the Giga Crush just as the submarine exits its bay, so that the submarine travels underneath X, who falls on it. Again, heal quickly after taking a hit and then Shouryuken. Bubble Crab’s level requires very good timing and quick reflexes to accomplish compared to the others.

X’s black shots

Whenever X is invincible from the above glitches, X will shoot black-and-orange charged X-Buster shots. This lasts until you switch weapons or X loses invincibility. Another way to gain black shots (if you didn’t get all the Zero parts) is to hit Zero last with the Shouryuken, which seems to indicate X is actually invincible until you fight Sigma.

Defeat Chop Register early, but become immobile

At Chop Register’s room, go in as far as possible without losing control of X, and use Giga Crush. If done right, the Giga Crush attack will destroy Chop Register as it barely comes on the screen. However X will be stuck (since the instruction to regain control never occurs), so this trick is not useful at all. It is also possible to use charged Remote Mine to perform this trick, since it is slow.

Facing backward on cut-scenes (MMX1)

When near a trigger that causes the player to lose control of X, charge up the Shotgun Ice and either ride it facing backward or let it push you while facing backward. It will push you into the trigger facing that way. Backward is almost exclusively facing left. You can make some weird-looking scenes with this trick. This also works with boss doors, but not with Dr. Light capsules.



Window of Opportunity

Window of opportunity is a one-frame timeframe when you have player control (usually unintentionally). You can jump, shoot, and/or switch weapons during this time. There are times in the game where this occurs:

Other useful tricks

Flame Mammoth’s alternate path (MMX1)

Almost immediately after Flame Mammoth’s level begins, a head will fall out of a pipe. It is possible to use the head as a platform to jump up the same pipe it fell out of, allowing you to run along the ceiling, above the normal route. With this method you can avoid the longer, less direct path, but soon you will notice glitches, such as the glitched Sub-Tank graphic, the green background, and invisible enemies. This does not last long however, and soon everything is back to normal.

Hadoken[4] sequence (MMX1)

It is common knowledge that you must visit a certain area (near the end of Armored Armadillo’s stage, high up on the last wall with energy capsule) five times, and you must have all the items, weapons, and upgrades to get the hadoken. However, there are a couple misconceptions:
Note that you also need full health on the last visit to make the capsule appear.
The number of visits is stored in memory address 7E1F7E. Check this address to make sure that you visit; don’t guess.

Bubble Crab’s Sub-Tank (MMX2)

Below the area where the sub-tank is, there is the perfect situation to use the Water Hopping and Jumping off sloped ground techniques in conjunction with one another. Normally, you would need to complete Bubble Crab’s stage to get his weapon, and then use it to reach the high Sub-Tank, but this is not necessary. By perfectly jumping off of the sloped ground underneath the tank, you can reach the wall to the left of it, scaling up it and water hopping to the right in order to get the tank.

Cancel long weapon effects (MMX3)

If you use charged Gravity Well or Triad Thunder, you can cancel the long weapon effect by entering the sub-menu and exiting with a different weapon. This is useful when getting items requiring those weapons, or when using Gravity Well against Blast Hornet (above).

Spike shaft no-damage hit on X (MMX1)

In Boomer Kuwanger’s level, the spikes that line the walls (not the spikes underneath the barriers) do 8 damage to unarmored X. However, if X jumps off the walls (without contacting them), X gets hit but takes no damage.

Remain in hadoken stance in mid-air (MMX1)

Storm Eagle’s wind, the second suction mini-boss of Launch Octopus, and the walls of the second fortress boss (Rangda Bangda) push X even when he’s not moving. If you use hadoken during this time, and you are pushed off a cliff, X will hang in mid-air until you regain control.
