About time. Bit was annoying, anyway.
Tunnel Rhino
Go right at the fork at the beginning. Power up Triad Thunder and let go of the fire button to cause an earthquake along with the two electric balls that X creates. This will free the tied up rock at the ceiling and allow access to the Heart Tank in this level.
The second tied-up rock near where the mini-boss is can be dealt with in the same way. This will allow you to get another enhancement: the Helmet Enhancement. In this game, this lets you look at a map of the level whenever you enter one of the Maverick stages. When you're done looking at the map, just press a button.
Blast Hornet
There is a Robot Ride armor located upwards shortly after the start.
When you reach the first set of doors, a dragonfly will show up and create a hologram of a three-dimensional eight-point star. When this thing immediately stars rolling, shoot at it whenever it comes towards you so it jumps right over you and bounces off the wall on its way down. When it stops in the other side of the room, it will go even faster. Avoid it as it makes a complete lap around the room by climbing up the walls and across the ceiling, and hit it with some powerful X-Buster shots. It will then continue to alternate between these two patterns.
After you take this mini-boss down, you'll come across some hangars. The second bridge is collapsible, so shoot the boxes on it to open it up. You can also go to the right side of the last one and open the cracked walls up with the Tornado Fang if you have it.
You'll find some interesting stuff in the pits that you'll find while destroying some more boxes. The first is the Normal Robot Ride armor. Just destroy the robot holding it hostage. Not only will you get this Robot Ride armor, but you'll finally get the ability to use the Robot Ride platform and pick whichever armor you want.
Just before the second set of doors, go up the building and go right. There's the Heart Tank for this stage.
After you've taken down two Mavericks, you'll face Bit in the second empty room. (Bit also shows up in the empty rooms of three other areas in the game.) Bit has three attacks. The first is a ring that he throws from his helmet that flies around the room and freezes you if it touches you. The second is a dash attack where he jumps up in the air and vertically tracks you, dashing at your current position as soon as you're lined up with him. The third are fireballs that will track X, forcing him to stay on the move.
Bit is weakest to the Frost Shield, believe it or not. If you're low to the ground, any Frost Shields left on the ground can do as much damage as those fired directly at him. If your final blow to Bit is dealt with this weapon, he'll die instead of flee.
The third section is a drop down with conveyor belts, followed by destroying (and avoiding) exploding boxes.
