STORY CHARACTERS

The year is 21XX.

Humans live in peace alongside mass-produced,

highly-intelligent robots called "Reploids."

However, no technology available has been able

to completely eliminate the potential danger

that comes with robots running on artificial
intelligence. As a result, malfunctions have

started occurring, leading Reploids to start

attacking humans.

There have been many such cases...

These Reploids, having exceeded the bounds

of their AI protocols, are called “Mavericks.”

And in order to round them up and protect

humans from the Maverick threat, the Maverick

Hunters team was formed.

Among the Maverick Hunters, one Reploid in

particular stood out from the crowd as the most

advanced Hunter of them all. His name is Sigma.

"Reploids of the world! Take up arms and unite!

Now is the time for revolution!"

Out of the blue, this was Sigma’s call to arms,

igniting a large-scale rebellion across the globe.

Now X, another Maverick Hunter from the same

team as Sigma, along with his best friend Zero,

set out to put down the rebellion and put a stop

to Sigma.

Who knows what fate holds for these two...

P P P P

PROFILE:

A Reploid in Hunter Unit 17 of the
Maverick Hunter forces. Who made him?
What is his purpose? These questions are
shrouded in mystery. Despite going up
against Mavericks, his gentle side tends
to make him hesitate at times while
destroying his opponents. This has held
him back at a “B” Hunter Rank (other
Hunters view his kindness as weakness).
Zero and Sigma are the only ones who
sense X’s true potential.

PROFILE:

ZERO

Reploid in the same Hunter Unit 17
as X. One of the few who senses X's
true potential. Zero completes his
missions with speed and precision,
and is second only to Sigma as a
Special A Rank Hunter. People find it
strange that Zero worries so much
about X, a B Rank Hunter. As for X,
who doesn’t seem to get along with
other Hunters, Zero is the only one
he truly respects and can confide in.

Reploid formerly of Hunter Unit 17. With an
irregularity in his central processing core, he
will stop at nothing to destroy Mavericks, no
matter what the cost. He seems to enjoy his
mission of hunting down Mavericks with a
crazed obsession, and is considered to be
borderline Maverick. Lately his superiors
had incarcerated him on suspicion of
actually being a Maverick, but he managed
to escape under the fog of the rebellion.

6

Created by Dr. Cain, inventor of Reploids,
Sigma is the ultimate Reploid, with higher
intelligence and battle capabilities than
any other Reploid produced. Formerly
headed the Hunter Unit 17 that X, Zero
and Vile belong to. Always calm, cool and
collected, playing the perfect leader off
the battlefield, and the perfect war
machine on the battlefield. However, one
day he suddenly became a Maverick on
his own and started a rebellion against all
humans. Why would he do such a thing?
What truth lies beneath the surface...?

ITEMS TIPS

Life Energy

Restores your Life Energy Gauge.

a certain weapon that they are
particularly weak against. Finding out
which weapon is most effective on
which boss is the key to success.

Weapon Energy

Restores your Weapon Energy Gauge.
In X Mode, if you don't have a special
weapon equipped, or if the Energy Gauge
for the currently equipped weapon is full,
the weapon with the least amount
of energy in your inventory will slowly
charge back up automatically.

Stock-Up

Replenishes one Life (up to nine total).

Sub-Tank

When your Life Energy Gauge is completely
full, each time you collect Life Energy it is
stored in the Sub-Tank. This allows you
to use the Sub-Tank to replenish your Life
Energy later on. Sub-Tanks do not
disappear after use.

pg 17

Life Up

Increases your Life Energy Gauge
maximum by a small amount.

In Vile Mode, selecting weapons
that are best suited for a boss's
movements or the stage layout is
crucial. Experiment to find the right
combination that works best for each
stage and boss character.

Completing certain stages may affect
the layout of other stages. Some
changes will be to your advantage,
while others won't. So, the order in
which you tackle the stages can be
very important.

Sub-Tanks are hidden in four of the
eight stages that you can select after
clearing the opening stage. These
Sub-Tanks can restore 32 units of Life
Energy if used when full. Filling up
your Sub-Tank before a boss battle is
definitely a good strategy.

Each stage that you can select after
clearing the opening stage has at
least one Life Up item hidden in it.
Collecting these to increase your max
Life Energy is crucial to winning.

CHILL PENGUIN

LORD OF THE SNOWY PLAINS

Reploid specially designed for extremely cold regions, formerly
of the 13th Polar Battalion. Had been operating on a wholly
unsatisfying mission at the South Pole, but once he heard
Sigma's call to rally Reploids, Chill Penguin started operating
with the 17th Battalion. His thought circuits are designed to be
flexible so he can perform missions with his small-size body, but
this has gained him a reputation among other Reploids of being
somewhat warped. He’s on bad terms with Flame Mammoth,
who relies solely on brute strength.

FLAME MAMMOTH

FIERY OIL TANKER

Leader of the 4th Land Battalion, Flame Mammoth used to be
stationed in the Middle East. Hearing of Sigma's rebellion, he dreamt
of getting an even tighter grasp on his own potential power, and of
going on violent rampages, and decided to join the rebellion. He
enjoys crushing and humiliating anyone weaker than himself, and
was hated by the Reploids who served under him. This is why none
of his battalion followed him to join in the rebellion. He plans on
letting his firepower do the talking, taking over an industrial area,
and turning it all into weapons manufacturing.

ARMORED ARMADILLO

STEEL-ARMORED WARRIOR

Leader of the 8th Armored Battalion. The steel armor that
envelopes his body boasts a high level of defensive strength,
rendering most attacks useless. Just like his hard exterior
suggests, his personality is rough and gritty. Even though Sigma
has taken control of the Maverick Hunter battalions, he fervently
obeys orders from all commanders. Since he needs mined ore
and minerals for ammunition, he must maintain control
over a mine to keep his supply coming.

Fire Wave

With an arm converted into a powerful flamethrower, it
deals continuous damage to enemies. The only thing is, it
can't be used underwater.

Rolling Shield

Spins energy at high speeds within the Buster and launches it
as an energy shot that rolls along the ground. The energy shot
even ricochets once off a wall.

P P P P

P P P P

STORM EAGLE

PRINCE OF THE SKIES

Leader of the 7th Air Squadron, his forte is lightning-quick dog
fights and air battles. Always calm, cool and collected, he
doesn't talk much and can be difficult to approach, though he
is very popular with his men. When the rebellion broke out, he
tried his best to stop Sigma, but was forced to bow to Sigma's

immense power and now works for him. When Storm Eagle is

controlling the skies with a new air destroyer, no one gets

past him, through the air at least.

STING CHAMELEON

SPIRIT SHARP-SHOOTER

OF THE HAUNTED FOREST

Reploid who belongs to the 9th Special Battalion (Rangers).
Using his tongue for quick attacks, along with his ability to
blend into his surroundings, makes him a highly-skilled Hunter.
On the other hand, he goes too far in his mantra of “by any
means necessary,” and is called a coward for his sometimes sly,
sneaky tricks. Bested by Sigma, he joins the rebellion, using his
skills learned as a Ranger to be the first line of defense for the
forest base.

Storm Tornado

A Buster turned into a high-power fan that blasts
opponents with hard-hitting wind, capable of destroying
enemies that stand in its path.

cool logic. With no sense of justice or evil, joining Sigma's
rebellion is a decision he arrived at after analyzing the case
rationally. He has taken over the tower that
was to be the symbol of the city, and is
working to convert it into a base.

SPARK MANDRILL

LIGHTING KING OF THE BULLET FISTS

Comes from the same 17th Battalion as X. Possesses immense
strength and a powerful electrical shock attack, but doesn't
seem to be the sharpest tool in the shed. He has obediently
followed Sigma, his superior, into the rebellion. He has
attacked the city's electrical power stations, bringing the city

to a halt, and has already taken control. He wreaks

whatever damage he feels like, and leaves it

to his subordinates to clean up the mess.

Boomerang Cutter

Fires a sharp boomerang made from a special metal. If it
does not hit an enemy, it returns to its owner. If the
boomerang passes an item on its way back, it picks up the
item and delivers it to its own owner.

Electric Spark

Creates high-pressure voltage within the Buster and fires
it. If the electric spark hits an enemy or a hard surface, it
splits in half, ricocheting up and down in opposite
directions.
