- MAIN POWER LEVELS
-
- 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 the large or small yellow
- energy capsules. Using the capsules to increase the energy meter, X
- should be able to function indefinitely.

- WEAPON POWER LEVELS
-
- 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 Y 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.
-
- The X-Buster and its integrated Variable Weapon System are a major step
- forward from earlier Mega Buster designs. Shot power has been increased
- and X is now able to switch to other weapon systems using the TAB
- key. Weapons from deactivated robots can be adapted for use with the
- X-Buster. The weapon power level for the active special weapon is shown
- to the right of X's main energy meter. Each time the special weapon is
- fired, the weapon's power level will decrease. By collecting the large
- or small Blue Weapon capsules, X can recharge the current special weapon
- and avoid a total loss of special weapon power. If X is not currently
- using a special weapon when he collects a weapon capsule, the energy will
- automatically be allocated to the weapon with the lowest energy level.
- THE SYSTEM STATUS SCREEN
-
- X's internal system status screen can be viewed by the Y button.
- Using this screen, X can monitor his various power levels. The
- screen shows all special weapons available and their power levels.
- It also indicates X's main energy meter, sub-tank energy level and
- lives remaining.
-
- Once the system status screen appears, highlight any of the weapons and
- press the Y button. When X returns to the main screen, he will be
- armed with that weapon.
-
-
-
- IMPORTANT DESIGN NOTE:
-
- X is also equipped with an escape unit which can only be activated if X
- has already defeated the Maverick controlling the area. If the area has not
- been cleared, the unit will not function.
