Finally, Zero again! Yay! Also, we take down two more of the Mavericks!
Blast Hornet
If you have Gravity Well, this is the easiest fight in the world. Equip it, then keep mashing the Y button and don't let him touch you. Easiest boss battle ever. If you mash the button fast enough, the bomb bugs and the stingers won't even fire.
Another attack he has is a glowing red light that homes in on you. This is the Parasitic Bomb, and it will explode if it touches you.
Beating Blast Hornet gives you the Parasitic Bomb. This shoots a bomb forward.
When you go back to the World Map in the stage select screen with the Helmet enhancement, you'll be able to find out what secrets are in which stage. If they're red, you haven't found them yet. If they're grey, you have.
Toxic Seahorse
Took you long enough to learn how to switch to Zero, NCS.
To do that, pause the game and press R. Press A and you'll be able to play as Zero instead of X. He has a pretty long health bar (near X's maximum), but you can only play as him for one section. When you either reach the door to an empty room or boss, you'll be forced to play as X again and you won't be able to use Zero again until you've left the stage. This also happens if you decided to play as X again using these same steps.
Zero has only one life, so do not let him die. Otherwise, you won't be able to use his assistance for the rest of the game...and it will be saved in your password.
Zero cannot use any special Maverick weapons, and he also cannot pick up any items meant for X such as Heart Tanks, Sub Tanks, Robot Ride icons and the like. He can pick up energy and weapon refills, even though he can't use the Maverick weapons.
Zero controls exactly like he did in the intro stage, too. So if you want to dig into enemies with the Z-Saber again, you can.
Shortly after the start, you'll be forced to go up to continue. If you go all the way up, you'll find the Heart Tank for this stage.
After the first set of doors, you can use the Robot Ride platform to the right to use the Frog armor. Here, you'll be able to get some good airtime and also have the missiles home in on enemies instead of flying straight down.
Climb up the right wall where the fans are, and you'll find a pink capsule. This is a Chip for the Leg Enhancement , which allows you to dash in the air twice in a row. There are four pink capsules in the game, and if you jump into any of them, you won't be able to get any of the other Chips. The chip you choose will be saved in your password.
There is, however, a way to get all four add-ons. This will be mentioned later. (A spoiler, I know, but I thought I'd answer this question now.)
The second set of doors leads to a squid mini-boss. Shoot this thing in the head as you move away from all the mines and missiles that it shoots out.
Toxic Seahorse's weakness is the Frost Shield. Avoid his jump attacks, and watch the acid that he shoots carefully as it can bounce off the walls.
Beating Toxic Seahorse will give you the Acid Burst. It's a bubble of acid that will burn through acid.
