We're getting close to the Repliforce stages again...
All maps by X GOD.
Jungle (continued)
To beat Web Spider, avoid the webs that he throws. Use Ryuenjin to hit him from the ground and do the most damage. When he's down to half health, he'll make a huge web and climb around it, throwing webs at you. Avoid those and keep damaging him.
Beating Web Spider with Zero will give you Raijingeki. Press Triangle while on the ground for a powerful single strike of crackling lightning.
Bio Lab
You start at an endless flight of stairs. You'll want to go up the stairs quickly to avoid the indestructible spiked shield robot that chases after you. Shoot down the flying robots when they raise their shields. You'll eventually come across a teleporter. Step onto it.
In the second section, you'll meet some flying enemies that look like small fish. These guys will fly towards you, hit you, then fly away. Be ready to slash them to bits!
The flower robots are just weak turrets, while the ladybug robots slowly fly back and forth. If they move off of a ledge, they'll gently fly straight down.
The black spiked robots will crash into each other in an attempt to crush you. At least they can't kill you, but nevertheless, make your move as they're separating.
Watch out for the thorns on the walls. They count as insta-kill spikes.
The mini-boss for the first area is a purple bug robot. Watch out when he stops for a brief second and activates its spikes. Every time he does this, he'll rise up and destroy the platform you're standing on, so move away, hit him with a fully-charged X-Buster shot and deal as much damage as you can before he drops back down. He'll stay up at your level for a few seconds, so before he drops back down for another platform to claim.
Once you've destroyed the mini-boss, the spikes below will disappear and you'll be able to head to Area 2.
You'll go up another stairway full of flying cannons and spiked bouncy balls...and of course, that stupid shield robot that follows you. Get on the teleporter.
The second section of the second area has the Heart Tank. The black spiked robots are back, and they're destroying the segments of the hallway you start in. One of them will succeed at the very beginning of the section. You'll want to get on the ceiling as that segment drops down, then wall jump up to the Heart Tank. You have only one shot to get this Heart Tank, and if you fail, you'll have to play through the entire level again to get back over there.
You'll then take an elevator. Shoot down the blue robot flowers that spit bombs at you, as well as anything else that gets in your way. There will also be blue platforms that will get in your way. They will be crushed whenever the elevator runs into them, so in case you're seemingly trapped, you'll still be able to re-position yourself if you're quick. Some of the flowers will pop out, but not bloom. They won't do anything except be in the path of the elevator, so just stay away from them.
When you meet Split Mushroom, you'll find out that he's under orders to destroy you. Unlike the other Mavericks, which have a Repliforce logo below their energy meter, he's got the Sigma logo. There's your wild guess.
When Split Mushroom latches onto the wall, slash at him and avoid the clones as they track you current location and jump right to it to attack you. He'll then create a clone, much like Gemini Man from Mega Man 3, and start running around the room while jumping over you in the same exact fashion as Gemini Man. The real one is more colorful and not as transparent as the fake one. Use Raijingeki on the real Split Mushroom to shock him and do the most damage. He'll leap to the other wall, but even then it's easy to keep track of him and turn him into fried mushroom for a few more hits. After three hits, the clone returns to Split Mushroom, and he'll return to the wall to make more clones and repeat his attack pattern.
Beating Split Mushroom with Zero gives you Kuuenbu. This allows you to double jump by pressing X after jumping. You'll also be able to perform Kuuenzan, a somersault sword attack that is much more powerful than your original aerial sword slice.
Cyberspace
Unlike other stages, this whole stage is a race against time. You'll have to get from the start of one section to the end. The faster you are, the better your letter grade. The highest is S, and that's the one you want to gun for. If you're ever told to hurry up, you'll lose a letter grade for every time the game does so. If you score any lower than an A rank, you'll have to re-do the section.
This area is where the air dash you learn from Slash Beast as well as the double jump and somersault slash you learn from
The triangles will fly at you if you leave them on the screen long enough. You can destroy them with your new somersault sword slash that you got from Split Mushroom.
If you can get S rank on the first obstacle course, you'll get a Heart Tank. If you get S on the second, you'll get a Sub-Tank.
Getting S on the third as Zero will give you an extra life, since the Dr. Light capsules don't show up when you play as him. It's still better than nothing at all.
You'll want to avoid touching the yellow energy balls, since all they'll do is slow you down for about four seconds.
You've got one more section to go. Hit the buttons to turn the room upside down, causing the balls that are in your path to drop down and out of your way. They'll roll down slopes, too.
