CHIP INFO
Energy Chip: This chip will allow you to recover energy. Stand still and your energy level will slowly increase.
Arm Chip: This chip will increase your attacking abilities. The chip allows damage to your system to be transformed and charged as weapon energy. You will be able to use it to rapidly shoot charged shots.
Leg Chip: This chip will enable you to dash in the air twice in a row. With the chip your mobility in the air will be greatly enhanced.
Body Chip: This chip will increase your defensive ability. Your defence shields will be enhanced and you will receive even less damage.
Note: If you use a password that gives you the Beam Sabre, Zero will be gone otherwise you will still have Zero.

DEFEATING HINTS AND PLAYING TIPS
Byte: Another way to defeat Byte is to intentionally run into him when he shoots his pod across the screen, right before he dashes. He will dash across the screen and leave Megaman with just a small amount of damage... Another strategy is to use Tornado Fang on him for more damage.
Bit: Use Triad Thunder to do more damage while fighting Bit.

GENERAL HINTS AND PLAYING TIPS
CX4 debug: Hold B on controller two, then power on the Super Nintendo to test the cartridge's CX4 chip.
Play as Zero: Pause game play, then press L at the menu. A hidden menu that allows Zero to be selected will appear. Note: You cannot use Zero after you have received his saber. He is also bigger and slower than X and only has one life.
Alternate Boss: Destroy Bit with the Triad Thunder or the Frost Shield, and Byte with the Drill Fang. You will encounter a different Boss at the final Boss stage.
Zero's Beam Saber: Defeat Vile with the S. Blades, and have Zero still alive. Play only as X in the first two stages in Dr. Doppler's Lab. In the second stage of Dr. Doppler's Lab, after the water pit area but before the mini-Boss, switch to Zero. Charge up and defeat the "bug". It will fall on Zero, he will be severely damaged, and will give you his Saber. The Saber will be saved with a password.
Golden Armor and chip enhancement: When at the first stage of Dr. Doppler's Lab, go through the stage until reaching a pit with falling spiked balls. Cling to the left wall of the pit. Slide down until you fall into a room that contains a capsule. Walk inside to reach the Orange Bomber and get every single enhancement chip. Note: You must have full health and all the power-ups. You may have a chip if this does not work. The Golden Armor can not be saved with a password.
Body Upgrade without the Arm Upgrade: Get the Leg Chip. When you get to the area where it normally requires that you have the Arm Upgrade, and Gravity Beetle's attack, with the Leg Chip, dash upwards twice and wall jump off the right wall. If you are lucky, you can land on the wall, and wall jump up.
Helmet Chip: The Helmet Chip will also fill up the Sub-Tanks, as well as X's main health.
Extra Saber damage: When attacking a Boss, get as far as away as possible. Then, execute the Saber Shot. This will take off about 25% damage then will gradually decrease the life of the boss. This will do more damage than if you had gotten close to the Boss.
Extra damage for Beam Saber: If you stand in front of a Boss use the Beam Saber, his life will be halved. However if there is a lot of space between you and the Boss, then he will be almost defeated.
Fast Beam Saber charge: Do not get the Arm Upgrade. If you get the Beam Saber that way, you only need to charge until you are yellow.
Easy power-ups: Use the Frost Shield on enemies. Not all enemies will give out power-ups, but most will give out big and small.
Easy extra lives: In the Doppler stage, where you must defeat all the Bosses, shoot the Beam Saber on the standing object. Usually if you shoot on it, healing power-ups will appear. However, if you shoot on it with the Beam Saber an extra life will appear.
Unlimited powers: At the last level (the first of Dr. Doppler's level), there are a lot of little missile launchers. Equip yourself with the ACID, but do not power up. Shoot him with it until it is destroyed and it always leaves you with Power-Ups only..
Chip Enhancer: The Chip Enhancer allows you to use all four chips at once. You must first have all the Heart Tanks, all four Sub Tanks filled, all four Robot Suits and the Dash Boots, Mega Buster, Armor and Sensor/Helmet upgrades. Also, you cannot do it with Zero. Go through the first stage of Doppler's Lab until you reach a pit in the part where spiked balls are falling down from above. Then, jump into the pit and cling to the left wall. Slide down to find a hidden tunnel that leads to Dr. Light. He will give you a special Chip Enhancer. This chip will allow you to carry all four chips.
Toxic Seahorse level: Change K: Get to the part where you find the Change K, You must have the Air Dash and the Change F to do this. While you are in your Change F armor, jump down into the water and move slightly, but not too far. Make your Change F suit swim to the left, up as far as it can go, then jump out of it. Shimmy up the side of the wall. Next, let yourself slide into the water slightly (while you are still on the wall), then jump towards the end of the ledge holding the Change K. You will not make it, but just when you are on the water tap Jump. You will do a jump off the water. Then, slide straight up and you will get the Change K.
Toxic Seahorse level: Change K (2): To get this upgrade, you must have your X Buster upgrade and Frost S. Once you are in the water, jump past the first hole and stand slightly to the right of it. Power up the Frost S. so you get the shield ability and the thing floats in the water. Jump on it and ride to the top to get Change K.
Toxic Seahorse level: Leg upgrade chip: To get the leg upgrade chip, which lets you dash two times in the air, when you are about to slide down the wall that leads to the water, jump across and get the water vehicle (if you have the tank that allows you to do so). Drop down into the water and make your way to the wall, where you have to go down to fight the mini-Boss. Next, jump out of the vehicle, climb the wall, and you will exit from the water and meet Doctor Light in a capsule. Note: If you try to do this without the water vehicle, the fans on the wall will be on, and will prevent you from climbing the wall by pushing you back.
Extra scene: Choose one of the eight levels, switch to Zero and intentionally die. You will see an extra scene where Zero says "Sorry X... I've failed. Looks like my power generator's damaged you can do it. X, you'r our last hope. " Doctor Cain will be standing next to Zero.
