Mega Man X/Chill Penguin



The first enemy you'll face off against is a... rabbit?! Sadly, this level is a little soft, but don't worry, you'll still probably take a beating somewhere in this stage.

You'll soon come across an axeman. He'll swing at the regenerating stump, sending its sections flying in your direction. The best way to take him out is to back up so your projectiles go under the stump and hit his legs.

Watch out for the wasp robots. Make sure you blast them or run away quickly so you don't get caught in the bombs they drop.

You'll soon run into a cave full of bats and spiked wheels. There is a tricky jump on the second level going up to the third; try to jump off the exact edge of the step and make sure to wall jump when your arm touches the edge of the platform.

At the top you'll recieve the leg enhancement upgrade, now allowing you to dash! Try out your new gift and try practicing the dash jump by dashing, and then jumping (simple huh?). If you get good at dash jumping you'll be able to zoom through levels and avoid enemies and projectiles better.

Head out of the cave and once again into daylight! Well, not for long. Hop into the Mech Armor and ride it into another cave. Watch out for gaps! If you have to, you can always bail by pressing {{cade|{{snes|B}}. Once you reach the far end of the cave, hop out of the mech and climb up the cliff.

You'll have to face off against rolling snowballs and snowball throwing robots. It's not very difficult, just keep your distance and get ready to jump over things. Some places, like that shown in the picture, allow you to just stand still and let the snowball smash itself on the wall of the cliff.

Once you reach the top of the slope and defeat the final snowball throwing robot, it's time for a nice little boss. {{-}}

Chill Penguin
One of the easier bosses of the game, Chill Penguin should only be able to damage you if you make a mistake like jumping in the way of fire.

Reward
Ice Cracker! This fires a single blast of ice that shatters on impact, spraying five shards of ice that do the same amount of damage as the first projectile backwards. You can fire this against walls to spray projectiles towards your enemies from various directions.
