ARMOR CAPSULES
The trusty Dr. Light hid some secret capsules that will enhance
Mega Man X's abilities. When Mega Man X steps into one of these
capsules, it will come to life and change the appearance of Mega Man X.
Here are descriptions of what some of the capsules do to Mega Man X:
1. Air Dash-Press B button to jump, then press the A button while
in the air. Mega Man X will dash through the air and may reach areas
you could not reach otherwise.
2. X-Buster-This will allow you to charge up any weapon just like
Mega Man X's normal X-Buster. Each weapon has different characteristics
when charged up so experiment and determine how each weapon is most effective.
