Version FAQ

In what order should I fight the Mavericks?

There is no set order, but each Maverick is weak to another's weapon. A common starting point is Blizzard Buffalo or Toxic Seahorse. Experimentation or using a boss order guide is part of the fun and strategy.

How do I play as Zero?

You must find and destroy the Zero enemy (a magenta-colored version of Zero) hidden in specific stages. Doing so unlocks Zero, who you can then call for assistance with the C or S keys (map check may be needed) by sacrificing a Sub-Tank.

What are the best hidden upgrades to find?

The Gold Armor (comprising four parts) and the Hyper Chip (for the ultimate Golden Armor) are game-changers. Also, seek out all four Ride Armor chips to summon powerful mech suits in designated areas.
