== Suggested order ==
== Game Flow ==
=== Playing using X ===
The main game is played in the following order:
Starting from Magma Dragoon's stage can be advantageous because it's the only Maverick whose boss area X can access with a Ride Armor.
* Start Sky Lagoon as the intro stage.
* Return to base and get to choose Maverick stages in any order.
* After completing any four stages, the player is forced to visit Memorial Hall.
* After defeating all Maverick bosses, complete Space Port, and Final Weapon (twice in different parts).
 
== Notes ==


This order allows to collect all items by re-visiting one stage only.
A couple of notes to note about:
* Like all Mega Man X games, you can re-visit the 8 standard levels at almost any point.
* Certain Hearts, Tanks, and Upgrades may require re-visits to obtain them.
* The Volcano is the only location where you can bring the Ride Armor to fight the boss.
* The Rising Fire and Ryuenijin are the only weapon required to complete the game.


Here is the rundown on item locations before you select your levels of completion:

== Suggested order ==
 
Before checking below, please check above on the chart.
 
=== As X ===
The levels can be chosen in order and there are a lot of ways to accomplish the completion at the easiest ways possible. keep in mind the following:
* The Jungle has the Leg Upgrade that brings advantage to mobility.
* Be cautious of defeating the 4th Maverick of your choice. After you complete 4 of the 8 stages, not only will you be unable to select levels, but you are forced into a boss fight with no walls and must defeat it to proceed. Its weakness is Frost Tower.

== Playing using Zero ==
 
=== As Zero ===
Two of Zero's "weapons" actually are skills that deal no damage, therefore the Maverick order has to be different.
Two of Zero's "weapons" actually are skills that deal no damage, therefore the Maverick order has to be different.


The regular Z-saber deals slightly more damage to Web Spider than to most other Mavericks, while Slash BeastLeo is the hardest boss, even with all other powerups.

This order may be challenging since you need to defeat Magma Dragoon first, which is hard even with Ride Armor. However, it also ensures that the stages do not need to be re-visited (or up to once, in case two of the hearts are too hard to get without Kuuenbu).
 
In case someone is trying a "No miss" run, starting with Marine Base (Jet Stingray) is also good, since it is a bike stage and easier to crush into walls.
