only for you to end up fighting a mobile suited Vile, who, for the first time in the franchise, is a boss that you cannot defeat. While there is a lot different, the structure of the game is similar: fight 8 boss Mavericks in any order, exploiting their weaknesses to defeat them more easily, and then go through a few final levels before you fight the final boss, Sigma. The levels consist of you running, dashing, jumping, and wall-kicking frantically to avoid many difficult obstacles and to find hidden Upgrade Capsules. There are four capsules hidden throughout the game's 8 stages, with each one containing one of four body parts: arm, leg, torso, and head. Once you collect all four of them, and with enough skill, you will feel like an unstoppable badass. Once you reach the end of a level, you will be confronted by a boss robot that you must fight with everything you have to defeat it, and take it's weapon. It is worth noting that the bosses in this game are much more difficult and intelligent than those found in the classic Mega Man series.

Mega Man X, the spiritual successor to Mega Man, starts his own new series of adventures in Mega Man X for the SNES.
Overview
The first installment of the Mega Man X sub-series, this game introduced players to new mechanics such as dashing, wall-jumping, and finding hidden upgrades throughout the levels, something which would carry on and become an essential part of each X game to follow. Released 1993 by Capcom and later ported to the PC in 1995, it was later remade in 2005 for the PSP with the name Mega Man Maverick Hunter X. The remake featured enhanced 3D character models and backgrounds, remixed music, some retuned level designs, and the ability to play as Vile. This game was also included in the Mega Man X Collection for the Nintendo Gamecube and PlayStation 2. The lead designers were both Tokuro Fujiwara (Producer) and Keiji Inafune (Characters) and the head composer was Setsuo Yamamoto.Gameplay
Unlike the core Mega Man series, the X games are much faster and more intense. From the moment you press start, the game has you wall jumping for your life up onto destroyed highways crawling with angry Mavericks
