Unlock Ride Armors. Just after the tall vertical area with an elevator, go up the hole in the ceiling. Get on the Ride Armor platform, select a Ride Armor (except Frog), and proceed until you find a wall made up two crates, just before the final vertical section leading to Gravity Beetle. Smash it, progress over the spikes, jump off the Ride Armor, and scale the wall to reach the capsule. | |||

Unlock Ride Armors. Get on the Ride Armor platform, select any of them (except Frog), progress to the first 'pit' of the stage, just after the vertical drop, but it's actually a secret area. Drop down, and burst through the cracked wall on the left, jump out of the Armor and proceed to reach the capsule. | |||

Unlock Ride Armors (including Frog). Get on the Ride Armor platform, select the Frog Armor, go underwater, destroy the fans on the right wall, get off the Ride Armor, and go right to the capsule. Alternatively, charge up the Frost Shield before reaching the part of the water where the fans push you back. Release it to create a large ice block and jump on it to float to the surface of the water. Then, simply jump/air dash to the right across the surface of the water to reach the area with the capsule. | |||

Reach the Ride Armor platform, in the ceiling just after the elevator, early in the stage. Select the Hawk Armor. Progress momentarily until you reach a gap. Dash jump, then hold the jump button for the Hawk Armor to fly over the gap and over the spike wall on the other side. The capsule is just over another wall. It is also possible to make it with just the Chimera or Kangaroo Armors by dash jumping off the ledge then jumping out of the armor to fly over the spike wall. But, be warned, you only have one shot at this since you can't go back to the Ride Armor platform afterwards. | Unlock Ride Armors (including Hawk).

However, the capsule can in fact be reached without Ride Armors. Fall down the gap, on top of the first conveyor belt, then go to the right to the wall. Wall jump up until you reach to the spiked part, dash jump directly upward, hold right to grip the small ledge to reach the capsule. This is difficult and will result in death if failed. The jump can be made easier by exploiting the infamous 'Neon Jump' trick to gain extra height after the vertical air dash, although this will also require the Arm Upgrade. It is also noteworthy that the capsule area can be reached even easier by way of the Leg Chip's double vertical dash, however this holds no practical purpose since you obviously cannot utilize the Head Chip if you have the Leg Chip. | However, the capsule can in fact be reached without Ride Armors.

Acquire every available item in the game (Heart Tanks, Sub Tanks, Ride Armor Modules, Armor Upgrades) and forego obtaining any chip enhancements (don't use any pink Dr. Light capsules) before heading to the first Dr. Doppler stage (after the eight Mavericks are defeated). In the first Dr. Doppler stage, kill the mini boss and proceed. Make sure you have full health before sliding down the left side of the first pit you find (where spiked wrecking balls fall) until you reach a portion of the wall that you can walk through. There will be a pink upgrade capsule that will give you the Hyper chip enhancement. This chip is the package deal: it gives you '''all four''' armor upgrades, and X becomes so powerful, his Third Armor turns a striking gold color. This is your reward for holding off on the individual chip enhancements, and it should make the final stages a breeze. | Acquire every available item in the game (Heart Tanks, Sub Tanks, Ride Armor Modules, Armor Upgrades) and forego obtaining any chip enhancements (don't use any pink Dr. Light capsules) before heading to the first Dr. Doppler stage (after the eight Mavericks are defeated).
