About halfway though Chill Penguin's stage you'll see the upgrade capsule right in front of you. Unless you use a password, you cannot avoid getting this upgrade.

After the rising/falling platforms you'll come to a tall skinny wall that you must climb to proceed. If you fall down on the right side of the wall (instead of jumping to the next platform at the top of the wall) you will fall into a small area with a ledge that you need to dash jump to get to. Once on the ledge you will see several "tanks" in the wall; shoot these until they explode and walk into the small room to find the upgrade capsule.

Near the start of the stage, you will come to a pit that you can enter below you to get a Heart Tank or you can jump the pit to enter what looks to be a cave (the ceiling and floor look much rockier). Instead, climb the wall on the right and proceed ABOVE the cave and you'll come to a small area that will soon be closed off by falling rocks. You have to fight a mini boss (shoot it in the eye to cause damage) to get the upgrade capsule.

Near the beginning of Flame Mammoth's level, the stage will force you to go down to continue, followed by a large area with lava on the floor and platforms that the lava will break through (note: the lava will be frozen and can be walked on if Chill Penguin's stage has been cleared). Just before the first platform, breakable blocks can be seen near the ceiling. Dash jump to the blocks and use the helmet and leg upgrades to break them and climb up the wall. The upgrade capsule is in a small room at the top of the wall if you didn't already receive the upgrade in Sigma Stage 1.

Near the end of the stage, you'll come across another platform that you can ride on a track. Ride the platform until it flies off the track and out of the mine and jump off at the highest point; climb the wall to the right that's directly above the gate to Armored Armadillo's room. Grab the large energy pellet at the top of the wall and either exit the stage or die. Repeat this five times and a capsule will appear with Dr. Light dressed as Ryu from Street Fighter II. He will give you the Hadoken (used by pushing down, down/forward, forward and fire) which can kill any enemy, including bosses, in one hit. Note that you must have full health to use the Hadoken and that there is about half a second "charge" time so you will be temporarily vulnerable.
