Mega Man X5/Walkthrough

Sixteen hours to impact
Unlike every previous Mega Man video game, the number of accesses to stages is limited. There are 16 hours left before the impact, and every access to a stage takes one hour.

As time passes, some changes happen:
 * Plotwise, the Sigma Virus spreads more; in other words, more Sigma Viruses appear in the stages;
 * The level of the Mavericks increases;
 * Vice versa, the total hit points (HP) of the Mavericks decreases;

If the level of a defeated Maverick is 8 or higher and the score after completing a mission is A or higher, the Maverick will drop DNA that can be converted into parts. It takes two hours (i.e. two stages) to convert DNA into a part.

Suggested order
An example of suggested order playing with Mega Man X alone is shown here (remember that three Life parts are exclusive to X). In the table below, the stages are optimized to obtain as many parts as possible, but five Hearts and the EX-Tank will be missed, though.

An example of suggested order playing with Zero alone is shown here (remember that three Energy parts are exclusive to Zero). In the table below, the stages are optimized to obtain as many parts as possible, but five Hearts and the EX-Tank will be missed, though.
