== The Maverick Reploid Factory ==
X and the Maverick Hunters have chased the last of Sigma's remaining supporters to this Reploid factory and X is ready to destroy the last of the Mavericks once and for all.


The quest begins at the outside of the Maverick Reploid Factory, the place where the last remnants of the Mavericks are reported to be gathered.  It is up to X and his group of Hunters to enter and destroy the Mavericks.
==Upgrades==
There are no Heart Tanks, Sub Tanks, or Upgrades in the opening.

==Walkthrough==
As the stage starts you'll notice it has a little bit of action happening, with X whisking across the landscape while energy beams miss him and end up hitting his friend. X crashes his bike into a robot outside of the factory, and Ready appears on the screen.
As you start the stage X and a Maverick Hunter are riding motorcycles and the stage begins as your motorcycles are destroyed. Watch out for the guy right in front of you as he will shoot at you, but a charged shot can shoot through his projectiles. For the first section just run through and if you get trapped by one of the wall screws do not worry for they can't damage you while closed.


So it is that you must now start, and to begin with clear away that machine before it can hurt you. Get used to controlling X, for you'll need to become accustomed to dashing, jumping and firing the buster all at the same time if you wish to get to the end of the game.
As you progress there is a conveyor belt with many construction bays which if there is anything inside it will damage you so try to go over the top while avoiding the drones. Past the conveyor belt there is a short wall jump gauntlet used to make sure you can wall jump or wall climb. Finally there is a pit with a large health pickup next to it. Grab the pickup if you need it then drop into the hole for the boss door.

Most of what you encounter will prove a tad unamazing, such as the hopping drones that take very little time to dispatch. The main hallway that you enter will also have robots which drop down, blocking your route.  Simply shoot them until they explode, as they lack any sort of offensive abilities.

As you progress further you'll notice a quickly downward sloping path, with an aerial drone buzzing about.  Dispatch the drone and then continue downward, but be careful since at the very bottom on the leftmost side is a pit filled with dangerous parts that will hurt X.
==Boss - Gigantic Mechaniloid CF-0==
This boss is particularly easy with its main damage output being its hands. The boss will jump and walk slowly left or right in an attempt to hit you. The only place you can hurt it is its head so simple place a few charge shots into the head and victory will be yours!


[[Image:MMX2IntroStage03.jpg|right|frame|This makes drones.]]
After the boss is defeated you will get a short cut scene with the X Hunters which you will encounter later after defeating some Mavericks. Detailed information can be found on the [[Mega Man X2/Walkthrough#X Hunters|Walkthrough page]]. Once the scene is finished you will be sent to the stage select.  
Instead, leap onto the Drone construction bay and continue along the path, heading to your right. Even though the drones that are being made aren't fully completed they can still hurt you if you get hit by one of them, so avoid them and use the construction bays as safe havens. You'll notice, after getting past the area where the drones are being made, a strange arm like thing sticking down from the ceiling.  Walk up to it and it will grab you, then throw you to the right.  Hold right and try to jump up the wall there, then head over, jumping up the wall past that to reach the ladder.


[[Image:MMX2IntroStage04.jpg|right|frame|Wall jump to safety]]
<gallery>
This is where things can get dangerous, since after the ladder you'll be in a part where the walls slowly close in on X. Climb up the walls by jumping up them as quickly as you can and reach the top before it's too late!  You might notice a drone hovering at the very top. While you can, you do not have to kill this drone, and this won't be the last time you see something like it again.

After getting past that area head to your right, leaping up and grabbing onto the ladder to ascend higher.  There will be no opponents in this area, so if you're still having issues with understanding how to wall slide and wall jump you should practice here.  Once more you head rightward, until you reach a hole which has an energy pellet on a small ledge.  Fall down this hole, and get prepared to face off against the stage boss.  You will notice at the bottom of the hole is a door, which automatically opens and lets you through, then closes behind you.  This isn't going to be something unique, as all bosses will be found behind doors like that one, and midbosses tend to cower in their own rooms as well.

You'll notice that when he shows up a bar fills up.  That is the boss life.  Aim for his head and keep on firing, try to use fully charged up shots.  You'll discover that this fight is extremely easy.  After it is defeated the big reploid will flicker a few times, then explode causing debris to fall about, which you do not have to worry about.  X will take his leave, and you'll be done with the stage.
 
This will then open up to a cutscene featuring three dark shadowy figures.  These are the X-Hunters, and you will learn more about them as you battle the Mavericks in the game.

== Tips ==
 
X is capable of more than just hopping and shooting little balls of energy, like Mega Man.  He is capable of sliding down walls when you press the direction button in the direction of the wall.  This will give you a more controlled descent.
 
[[Image:MMX2Energy01.jpg|right|frame|When injured this will recover your health, as will a smaller version.]]
You can also wall hop, by leaping from the wall slide, pressing against the wall and hitting the jump button again.  This is a good way to quickly ascend, and is invaluable in some boss fights.  You can increase your lateral speed by pressing dash when jumping from walls.
 
Remember, X has a buster that is capable of multiple levels of power. Holding down the fire button begins a charge process.  The first level surrounds X with blue balls of energy, the second being more of a white-yellow hue.
 
X may seem weak now, when you look at his health, but as the game progresses you'll discover Heart Containers that increase his maximum health and armor parts that will give him such abilities as even more charging potential, or increased resistance to damage.  Seek these out, as they will be integral in your success as X.
