Note that you can defeat every single boss listed here without the need to obtain any Heart Tanks, Sub Tanks, or upgrades (however without glitching the game, there's no way to legitimately reach the end of the game without the leg upgrade).

== Intro Ice to defeat him easily.
=== Vile in Mech Armor===
[[File:Mega Man X Opening Vile Fight.png|right|thumb]]
This is a storyline battle, so you can't "win" (Vile is invincible). Once your energy meter drops below a certain point (at around four or five left), Vile will start shooting "energy nets" (glowing yellow orbs) at you, making you unable to move. Once you're hit by one, the story will proceed and the level will end. Keep in mind that if you're hit enough times before being trapped by the "net" you can still die; so try and get hit.

== Main 8 bosses ==
=== Chill Penguin===
[[File:Mega Man X Chill Penguin Title.png|right|thumb]]
*'''Weakness''': Fire Wave
*'''Weapon Received''': Shotgun Ice
 
Chill Penguin can shoot ice cubes across the screen at you as well as create miniature penguin ice sculptures. When he grabs the handle on the ceiling, he'll create a snowstorm and the sculptures will slide across the floor. Chill Penguin can also dash across the floor. The Fire Wave will make short work of him; just be careful when attacking as the Fire Wave has a very short range.

=== Spark Mandrill===
[[File:Mega Man X Spark Mandrill Title.png|right|thumb]]
*'''Weakness''': Shotgun Ice
*'''Weapon Received''': Electric Spark
 
Spark Mandrill will frequently jump across the screen and try to crush you. He will also dash at you, swing across the ceiling and try to drop on you, and shoot Electric Sparks at you. Shooting Spark Mandrill with Shotgun Ice will momentarily freeze him and do significant damage to him. If you shoot Spark Mandrill after he breaks out of the ice and right as he lowers his arms, then you won't give him a chance to move. You can repeat this timing with Shotgun Ice to defeat him easily.

*'''Weakness''': Electric Spark
*'''Weakness''': eballs (or climb the wall) and Armadillo is a pushover.
*'''Weapon Received''': Rolling Shield
 
This battle is made much easier if you shoot Armored Armadillo with at least one Electric Spark; it will electrocute him and cause his armor to fall off, making it impossible for him to block attacks. Armored Armadillo will attack by shooting Hadoken-like fireballs and rolling across the screen at you. Simply move out of the way of his rolling and jump over the fireballs (or climb the wall) and Armadillo is a pushover.

=== Launch Octopus===
[[File:Mega Man X Launch Octopus Title.png|right|thumb]]
*'''Weakness''': Rolling Shield
*'''Weapon Received''': Homing Torpedo
 
Launch Octopus has two main attacks. He'll either fire torpedoes at you or leap across the screen and create a whirlpool vortex to pull you towards him. If he grabs you during this move, Lauch Octopus will begin to drain some of your energy and regain his. This can be countered by either dashing away from the whirlpool or by cutting off his extra tentacles with the Boomerang Cutter. By using the charged version of Rolling Shield, you can protect yourself from torpedoes, but in order to hurt Octopus you must get very close, leaving yourself open to attack after the shield evaporates.
