Mega Man X, known in Japan as Rockman X (ロックマンX) is the first entry in the main X series, developed by Capcom and released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993-1994, becoming the first Mega Man game on a 16-bit console. It was published by Capcom in Japan and North America, and by Nintendo in PAL regions.
Rather than continuing the Classic era in which all games up to its release had been set, Mega Man X instead marks the beginning of the X era, taking place roughly a century later in the year 21XX and featuring a new cast of characters, including a new protagonist, X. The game builds upon the Classic era's action-platformer gameplay with a similar structure and mechanics.
Story
The year is 21XX. It is a world where humans coexist with advanced robots. These robots are known as Reploids, and have completely human thought processes. Robots with faulty electronic brains are called Mavericks, and the Reploids used to control them are called Maverick Hunters. Their mission is to find and eliminate all Mavericks that harm humans or Reploids. X is a member of the Maverick Hunters. Sigma, the captain of the 17th Unit to which X belongs, is known as the strongest of all Maverick Hunters, and on top of that, has an excellent electronic brain. But one day, he gave an order to all Reploids: "Eradicate the humans! They are our enemy! Kill them all!" With this call, many Reploids began to rampage, and an intense rebellion began... The battle reaches its fever pitch with the addition of Zero, a friend with whom X shares a mysterious bond. Fight, Mega Man X! Show no mercy to Sigma's rebellion![2]
Characters
| Name | Sprite | Description |
|---|---|---|
| X | 
|
The protagonist of the story. X is a Reploid in the 17th Unit of the Maverick Hunters, an organization that disposes of robots that have malfunctioned and become dangerous, called Mavericks. His creator and purpose are shrouded in mystery. Out of a sense of justice, he stands against his former captain, Sigma, who has rebelled against the humans. His skill as a Hunter is ranked B-Class (average), not because his performance is lacking, but because he often hesitates to destroy Mavericks. His true potential lies dormant due to the conflict between his kindness (which other Hunters see as weakness) and his sense of justice, which despises evil. However, X himself is unaware of this, and only Zero and Sigma sense his hidden power.[2] |
| Zero | 
|
Zero is an SA-Class Hunter who is part of the Maverick Hunters' 17th Unit along with X. Fiercely opposed to evil in all forms, he conducts his missions with a cool demeanor and unparalleled speed. Zero is one of the few to notice X's hidden potential, so he watches and guides him with eager interest. For X, who doesn't get along with other Hunters, Zero is the only person whom he can respect and trust. Zero calls on X to join him in the fight against Sigma's army in order to defeat Sigma.[2] |
| Vile | 
|
A Maverick Hunter who belonged to the 17th Unit. Although his skill as a Hunter is SA-Class, his electronic brain suffers from an abnormality that makes him destroy Mavericks with no regard for collateral damage. He seems to enjoy hunting more than safely removing hazards, making him borderline Maverick himself. As a result, he was removed from service and detained. Now that he has been freed by Sigma's rebellion, he is free to cause destruction as he pleases.[2] |
| Sigma | 
|
Sigma is the masterpiece of Dr. Cain, the creator of the Reploids, and is known as the strongest Reploid of all time, both in terms of intelligence and power. He was captain of the 17th Unit, to which X and Zero belong. He is always calm and collected, demonstrating perfect leadership, and fights like a demon in battle, but this is only a glimpse of his true power. He is highly confident in his abilities, which may have inspired his ambition. One day, he suddenly rebelled against humanity and ordered all Reploids to exterminate them. Reploids who opposed his ideas stood against him, but none could match the strongest Reploid in history; some were destroyed, while others surrendered and now serve him. Now only X and Zero remain. As for X, he is only interested in his potential to grow stronger, and does not consider him a threat.[2] |
| Dr. Cain | 
|
Dr. Cain is the scientist who discovered X and revolutionized robotics by creating Reploids. He does not appear in the game, but his writings are featured in "The Journal of Dr. Cain" in the game's English instruction manual.[3] |
| Dr. Light | 
|
Dr. Light was the scientist who created X long ago. Though he has since passed away, he left a final message on X's capsule which plays in the game's opening. He has hidden Light Capsules that feature a holographic replica in his likeness to give Armor Parts to X. |

| Vile |
|
Vile's miniboss fight has two phases: one in a Ride Armor and one on foot. The first phase is similar to the Highway Stage boss fight and cannot be "won", instead lasting until Vile traps X, which triggers a cutscene leading to his Armor's destruction. In the second phase, Vile dashes or makes giant leaps across the room, firing paralysing energy shots at X while on the ground or dropping bombs while in the air, the latter of which split into two blasts travelling left and right when they hit the ground. He takes normal damage from X's weapons in this phase and is weak to the Homing Torpedo. |
