Mega Man X3/Ride Armor Modules

There are four models of the Ride Armor type DRA-00 that X can find in the game, and these Ride Armors can be summoned from special platforms with an "X" on them. To use these Ride Armors, X needs to obtain one physically and discover the hidden modules for the remaining four so that he can interface with the platforms and transport the armors to himself.

Chimera Armor Module

 * Location: Blast Hornet stage
 * Requirements: Tornado Fang

Note: This armor must be obtained in order to use any Ride Armor platforms.

When you reach a section of garage rooftops in the stage, you'll find a set of crates stacked on a cracked walkway bridging over the roofs. Shoot the crates until they explode, which will rattle the bridge and make it crumble away. This will open access to the lower section of the garages. Drop down to the ground, and to your immediate left will be a cracked wall in one garage. Pierce through it will a Tornado Fang Drill to blow it away and discover a hidden passageway that leads to the Chimera Armor, which is currently being kept in storage by a Hangerter. Shoot the Hangerter to release the armor and claim it as your own, which will automatically give you the Chimera Armor Module and let you use the special platforms that summon Ride Armor.

The Chimera Armor is the basic Ride Armor. You can punch enemies, dash at high speed, and jump a good distance when you pilot it.

Frog Armor Module

 * Location: Gravity Beetle stage
 * Requirements: Leg Part upgrade

You will need the ability to dash in mid-air to get this chip. After getting past the first indoor section of the stage, you will see a latticed tower outside. Scale it to discover the Frog Armor Module sitting on a platform. Leap off the side of the tower and use a mid-air dash to reach the platform jutting out from the side.

The Frog Armor is the sole Ride Armor designed for aquatic use, and therefore, the only one that won't short out in water. Conversely, it isn't so reliable on land. The armor also does not walk like the other Ride Armors. Instead, it hops like a frog, and performs long jumps if it is used to dash. It is equipped with homing torpedoes able to lock on to nearby enemies. Underwater, the Frog Armor's functionality is enhanced. It can jump further with its propeller fins and the torpedoes can move through the water instead of crashing to the ground shortly after being fired, extending their range.
