Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this action-platformer, an archaeologist discovers the highly advanced robot "X" alongside the blueprints to create a new race of sentient machines called Reploids. When the Reploids' protector, Sigma, goes rogue and launches a war to eradicate humanity, X must join forces with the Maverick Hunters to stop him. Players control X as he fights through various stages, utilizing his arm cannon and upgrading his abilities to defeat Sigma's rebellious forces.
Story
April 8th
Still nothing. For the last month, I have been sifting through the dirt trying to find a fossil record which would verify my findings on Mesozoic plant life, but so far I have come up empty.
Tomorrow, I'll move my archaeological dig to a new site. Maybe I'll have better luck.
April 9th
Set up camp at the new site and laid out a preliminary gridwork for the dig. I got some odd readings at location E-46.
It looks like something metallic is buried several meters below the surface. I think I'll begin there tomorrow.
April 10th
I can't believe what I found! Several meters below the surface was the remains of a lab.
Although most of the lab was damaged, I did manage to find papers that indicate that it belonged to the famous robot designer, Dr. Thomas Light. I've begun to review what is left of Dr. Light's notes and it looks like he was onto a major breakthrough. The notes keep referring to "the capsule"...
April 13th
I found it. Standing 14 meters high and 8 meters wide, the capsule was hidden underneath a collapsed ceiling.
Even underneath all the rubble, the capsule has remained intact and was still running some sort of diagnostic when I found it. There is a warning on the capsule, but all the indicators on the capsule show green. It should be safe to open it. I'll know tomorrow.
April 14th
Today I met "X". Not simply a robot, X is something totally different.
Light has give him the ability to think and make his own decisions. At times, X seems more like a man than like a machine.
April 15th
Light was a genius! I've been going over his design notes and they are a quantum leap beyond anything the world has ever seen.
Using them as a guide, I may be able to replicate his design and integrate them into a new generation of robots. I'll begin transporting X and the rest of Dr. Light's things back to my lab tomorrow.
November 22nd
With X's help I have completed my first "Reploid." Although I don't completely understand how all of Dr. Light's systems works, I was able to make some minor modifications and the reploid seems to be functioning perfectly.
His strength and intelligence seem limitless and he is fully able to make his own decisions. In fact, we got into our first argument. How intriguing!
January 3rd
The new reploids have been running off the assembly line for several weeks. It's amazing how easily they have been able to adapt to even the most difficult jobs.
It still is a bit odd to see them working side by side with humans, but everyone seems to be happy to accept them.
February 16th
Three reploids went "maverick" today and injured two people before they were stopped. This is the third instance of this type of behavior and I still have no idea of what is causing it!
There is some talk about stopping the assembly of any more reploids, but I don't think it will happen. Maybe we've become too dependent on them....
The council has now decided to set up a group of "Hunters" to destroy any maverick before it can cause injury. The reploid named Sigma has assigned to lead the Hunters. Sigma is one of the most intelligent reploids I've created and contains my latest circuit designs. His systems should be immune to any problems.
May 16th
It's been two months since Sigma took control of the Maverick Hunters and he and his hunters have been able to prevent any further injury to the population. Everyone is starting to breath a little bit easier....
I am a little worried about X. He seems unsure of his place in life and what Dr. Light had planned for him. But given time, I'm sure he'll find his way....
June 4th
My worst nightmare has just come true. Sigma went maverick today and took most of the other hunters with him.
His motives are unclear, but it seems that he "decided" that humans are inferior and limiting the growth of the Reploids. For that reason, he decided that all humans should be eradicated.
Most of the population is in hiding or trying to flee the city. I'm not sure how long we can hold out against Sigma's forces. I fear I've built the reploids too well.
X is taking the news of the war very personally. He wants to join ZERO, the new leader of the Maverick Hunters, when he goes after Sigma. I'm doubtful of their chances, but I won't stop him. Something has to be done....
How to Play
Getting Started
•
Insert your MEGA MAN X Game Pak into your Super Nintendo Entertainment System and turn the power ON.
•
Watch the screen closely as Dr. Cain examines X's design specifications or press the START button to skip to the title screen.
•
When the title screen appears, you will see the following choices: GAME START, PASSWORD and OPTION MODE. Use the control pad to move X next to the GAME START and press the START button.
•
When the next screen appears, X will teleport into the city and attempt to track down the location of the mavericks.
•
To end X's quest at any time, simply turn the power on your Super Nintendo Entertainment System OFF and eject your Game Pak.
Power Systems
X is powered by a micro-fusion fuel tank. His current energy level is indicated by an energy meter in the upper left corner of the screen. Each time X is damaged his energy meter will decrease.
If all his energy is lost, X's fusion generator will go critical and explode. However, energy depletion can be avoided by collecting standard energy capsules. Using the capsules to increase the energy meter, X should be able to function indefinitely.

POWER CAPSULE
Sub-Tanks
X also has the ability to carry up to four sub-tanks which will store an emergency energy supply. Once equipped with a sub-tank, any energy capsule which is collected while X's energy meter is full will automatically be transferred to a sub-tank.
Energy can be transferred from the sub-tank to X's main energy meter by using the system status screen. Press the START button to activate the system status screen and then highlight a sub-tank. Once it is highlighted, press the Y button to drain the tank.
