This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/2059M
TAS originally published on 2012-06-12
Since moving to the SNES 16-bit land, Mega Man has taken the secret identity X, but everyone knows it's still him because he's the only blue robot who shoots three pellets at a time at other robots, steals their weapons, and zips through walls.
FractalFusion ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/F... ) plays this game a bit differently than usual. He abuses a failed password in order to obtain all weapons before the intro stage; this also causes all 8 Mavericks to be flagged as beaten, so the run proceeds directly to the Sigma stages after the intro stage.
Because the failed password does not include X's armor upgrades and the Maverick stages are never entered, the dash boots (normally impossible to avoid) are never collected, meaning that Mega Man X spends the entire run walking through the stages; this provides more opportunities for entertainment than usual. For more information, read the author's comments ( tasvideos.org/3620S ).

Notice how despite never getting the leg upgrade, X has it in the ending. Like the game can't imagine a world where you don't have it.

They didn’t bother to add the extra two checks and code for said extra checks, because you’d normal have them. You’re right, the game can’t imagine a world where you don’t have the leg parts, because it was never meant to be. Think about it, without this, you would’ve never knew about this weird detail (unless you were messing with a Gameshark or made a disassembly of the game)

Yeah, just like the first Metroid, there's passwords which are valid for conditions not possible to get through normal gameplay. Alternatively: Once I used a game genie code for jumping very high to get to the fight for the body armor in sting chameleon's stage without the dash modification... Found that it was indeed possible to do. That told me such things weren't scripted in.

I remember messing with a similar password many years ago, when I used to own the X Collection on GC. I tried beating the game, and it's very difficult without the dash boots. I got as far as Sigma's final form but could never beat him. Dying is very easy late in the game when you don't have the armor upgrade as well.

Wait, so X's dialogue portrait's color scheme in the opening stage is dependent on what weapon he's using? I never knew that. It probably has something to do with the color values sharing space in memory, then? It would be less taxing to share the colors between sprites.

"The blackout glitch (after defeating a boss) is caused by pressing Start at the right time, after the boss explosion but just before X tries to walk to the center of the screen. It causes the music to become soft (as if the player is in the subscreen menu) and lasts until the next subscreen menu access."

I always wondered what it would be like to have all the weapons in the first world, especially since some enemies only appear in that stage. I wanted to know what type of damage they would take with each special weapon. Obviously, this had to be programmed by the creators of the game. It was fun to see that.

Check the link in the description. The glitch causing the end-of-stage blackout makes the game think it's inside the pause menu, which also lowers the music volume. It would go back to normal if he ever paused and unpaused during play.

3:36 Can confirm that this passcode works. Bonne chance. 21:14 Oof. The game is *_VERY_* reliant on the player having the leg upgrade... #LMAO So, this basically does some game event flag tricking to make the game think the player should start with all weapons, which in turn clears the Maverick stages. Question is, can it be triggered by a non-TA player, or is this something that requires very precise, frame-accurate responses?

@NixNix-ch7ow 3 жыл бұрын

*Spoilers ahead you've been warned* What I don't understand is why did the people who made this game only have X talk once in the whole game? Also when I first played this game, I didn't know Zeros name was Zero untill the ending credits showed him. I thought when Vile said “Dream on Zero X knows he can't defeat me”, that Vile was insulting him. Oh and while I'm at it, be aware that of all 3 games for SNES, this is the only one that doesnt trigger a special cutscene after you beat two bosses, and the only game of the three where the armor upgrade is just an armor upgrade, as the other two games make the armor as an item to do more than protect X, also another difference between the three games is in this game, X moves slowly on ladders when fully armored, but the other two make him move fast, but only after getting both the blaster and leg upgrades. I also like how in this game when a boss blows up, how it lights up the whole room briefly, that's cool to bad they got rid of that in the other two games though. *Sigh* 😔 Oh and by the way the name of X's armor for this game is called the light armor FYI.

Mas os dias passam diz que você sabe e seguem ali sobre a rota de o poder forte de quem está ao redor e o que seja que ano tem ou tem perigo igual a todo lugar. Disse sobre livros de internet que editoras publicam você que cópia e imprime tudo bem. Era o bom a fazer mesmo. Beijos concluem. Bem real saber que as mulheres impossíveis é elogio incrível e são possíveis foi isto que eu falei a ela que a fez feliz em minha frente! Lembrei! Envio grande beijo! A este teu dia de sorriso e eu.
