NintendoCapriSun plays Mega Man X2 - Part 9 of 10


This is it! We're closer to the final confrontation!

X-Hunter Fortress - Stage 4


The area where you fight Overdrive Ostrich in the X-Hunter Fortress is much different compared to where you do it in the actual stage. You have far less room to maneuver (and far less area to look at, too).

Also, Flame Stag has an alternate color palette when you fight him the second time around.

When you beat all of the Mavericks a second time around, Sigma finally shows himself. Well, he speaks to you, anyway. Time to head out of this chamber before it explodes!

X-Hunter Fortress - Stage 5


Okay, this is really bizarre.

The stage is exactly the same as Magna Centipede's, right down to the spotlights and the traps. The only difference is that the music is from the intro stage.

When you make your way to the mini-boss room where you fought the sword, you meet Sigma...and Zero? Why is Zero here standing next to Sigma? More importantly, why is he gray? (A precursor to Black Zero from Mega Man X4?)

Sigma is about to send this gray Zero at you, but before that can happen, a few powered-up buster shots ring out from behind X and destroy him before anything can even happen. It's the real Zero, and he's back and better than ever! Sigma then mentions that Zero was born to follow him. (This is barely hinted at in this game, but is fleshed out a lot more in subsequent games.) Zero then goes after the main computer and asks you to go after Sigma.
