'''How to obtain''': Collect 25 large E-Crystal capsules in one mission.

[[File:MMZ2 X Form Sp.png|left]]
 
'''How to obtain:''' Kill 50 enemies with the Buster Shot in one mission.
 
'''Where to obtain:''' since three of the first four EX Skill that can be obtained use the Buster Shot, it can be useful to get this form in the very first mission, i.e. [[../Computer Zone: Poler Kamrous|Poler Kamrous' stage]].


This Form makes energy capsules appear more often. It also alters his triple-slash combo so that he performs the second slash twice, then the first slash, and he can only fire two bullets from his buster at a time.
'''Effects:''' With this Form, the Buster Shot can have four bullets on screen at a time instead of the normal three, and their power is increased. However, he can only perform the second slash of his triple-slash combo.

'''Where to use:''' use it anytime you need the Buster Shot.

[[File:MMZ2 Rise Form Sp.png|left]]


With this Form, the Buster Shot can have four bullets on screen at a time instead of the normal three, and their power is increased. However, he can only perform the second slash of his triple-slash combo.
'''How to obtain:''' Kill 20 enemies with a midair Saber slash in one mission.


==[[File:MMZ2 Defense Form Icon.PNG]] Defense Form==
'''Where to obtain:''' [[../Train: Panter Flauclaws|Panter Flauclaws' stage]] is ideal to obtain this form, because the halfway-boss attacks from above and requires lots of jumping slashes.
[[File:MMZ2 Defense Form Sp.png|left]]


'''How to obtain''': Kill 20 enemies with the charged Shield Boomerang in one mission.
'''Effects:''' This Form changes the third slash of Zero's triple-slash combo into an upward swing, which is slightly more effective at doing damage, and allows him to move faster.


This Form raises Zero's defense and the power of his Shield Boomerang, but lowers his attack power.
'''Where to use:''' This is probably the earliest form that enhances the Z-Saber, therefore it can be used whenever you need that weapon until you get some other form.

'''How to obtain''': Reflect 30 shots back at enemies with the Shield Boomerang in one mission.
'''How to obtain:''' Reflect 30 shots back at enemies with the Shield Boomerang in one mission.


This Form enables Zero's Saber to destroy enemy shots or cancel out bullets with an uncharged Shield Boomerang. However, he can only perform the second slash of his triple-slash combo.
'''Where to obtain:''' If you use the Shield Boomerang to destroy the power reactors in [[../Power Room: Phoenix Magnion|Phoenix Magnion's stage]], you'll fulfill the requirement more than thee times.


==[[File:MMZ2 Active Form Icon.PNG]] Active Form==
'''Effects:''' This Form enables Zero's Saber to destroy enemy shots or cancel out bullets with an uncharged Shield Boomerang. However, he can only perform the second slash of his triple-slash combo.
[[File:MMZ2 Active Form Sp.png|left]]


'''How to obtain''': Kill 20 enemies with a dashing Saber slash in one mission.
'''Where to use:''' It's especially useful to obtain the Defense Form, the other form related to the Shield Boomerang, because enemy bullets will not be reflected back and you'll have to use the charged Shield Boomerang to defeat the enemies; a good location where to use it is [[../Bombardment Aircraft: Kuwagust Anchus|Kuwagust Anchortus' stage]].
 
This Form allows Zero to perform a spinning Saber slash while in the air or a Rolling Slash when dashing, and maximizes his speed. However, enabling Sengatotsu disables the dashing rolling slash, and Zero can only perform the first slash of his triple-slash combo.

'''How to obtain:''' Collect 25 large E-Crystal capsules in one mission.

'''Effects:''' This Form makes energy capsules appear more often. It also alters his triple-slash combo so that he performs the second slash twice, then the first slash, and he can only fire two bullets from his buster at a time.
 
'''Where to use:''' use it whenever Zero has low HP, to replenish his health.

'''How to obtain''': Kill 20 enemies with a midair Saber slash in one mission.
'''Effects:''' This Form allows Zero to perform a spinning Saber slash while in the air or a Rolling Slash when dashing, and maximizes his speed. However, enabling Sengatotsu disables the dashing rolling slash, and Zero can only perform the first slash of his triple-slash combo.  


This Form changes the third slash of Zero's triple-slash combo into an upward swing, which is slightly more effective at doing damage, and allows him to move faster.
'''Where to use:''' Thanks to its speed upgrade, this is probably one of the best forms, to be used as much as possible.

This Form allows you to perform charged attacks without charging by using Street Fighter-like button combinations. It has an equal amount of abilities, but has better stats than the Basic Form, and causes no weapon restrictions.
'''Where to obtain:''' The earliest point where you can obtain it is at the end of the second last mission; anyway, the requirement to get this form (use all cyber-elves, thus lowering your score) is in complete contrast with the requirement to obtain the EX Skills (get a high score).
