Spoilers for all Mega Man X entries preceding this one, particularly Mega Man X4 may be unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Mega Man X5 is the fifth entry in the Mega Man X series, released on the PlayStation on November 2000 in Japan, February 2001 in North America, and August 2001 in Europe. It was originally intended as the series finale, but this plan was changed by greater powers.In the year 21XX, several months after the Great Repliforce War, Earth is enjoying a time of peace. Repairs from the war's damage include the renovation of the space colony Eurasia. However, the dreaded Sigma suddenly reappears, goading X and Zero into an explosive battle that scatters his Sigma Virus across the globe. To make matters worse, a mysterious mercenary called Dynamo hijacks the empty Eurasia with a virus and sets it on a collision course with Earth. If it impacts, the results will be catastrophic for both humans and Reploids.With only 16 hours until global devastation, the Maverick Hunters must quickly find a way to stop Eurasia's fall. Plan A is to repair the aging supercannon Enigma to blast it out of the sky, while plan B is to outfit a space shuttle with explosives and crash it into the colony before it hits the Earth. With time running out, X and Zero split up to collect the parts for both plans, the fate of the world in their hands.The gameplay twist for Mega Man X5 is the Doomsday Clock, which the player must race against to complete the plan to repel Eurasia. Each Maverick holds a MacGuffin for the Enigma mission or the Shuttle mission, and defeating them grants the player a part to increase their chances of success (note that it only increases chance — the player's success always has a hint of randomness). Otherwise, the game plays largely the same as Mega Man X4 but with some changes: a boss level system that affects the difficulty of each boss, a Power-Up Parts system to grant the characters buffs, and two unique sets of Armor Parts available to X. The entry is also notable for finally giving X and Zero (or any Mega Man playable character for that matter) the ability to crouch.This game's eight Mavericks are unique for their Guns N' Roses-inspired Woolseyism names in the initial English release, which have since been retconned to more accurate names: Crescent Grizzly (Grizzly Slash), an arms dealer holding a Crystal Ball. X earns Crescent Shot from him, and Zero earns Crescent Sword. Volt Kraken (Squid Adler), an ex-Maverick Hunter holding an Energy Cart. X earns Tri-Thunder from him, and Zero earns Electric Blade. Shining Firefly (Izzy Glow), a laser researcher holding a Laser Device. X earns Flash Laser from him, and Zero earns Chaos Flasher. Tidal Whale (Duff McWhalen), a museum curator holding a Hydrogen supply. X earns Goo Shaver from him, and Zero earns Flying Splasher. Spiral Pegasus (The Skiver), an ex-Repliforce captain holding an Orbiter Wing. X earns Wing Spiral from him, and Zero earns Wind Shredder. Spike Rosered (Axle the Red), a black market thief holding an Orbiter Engine. X earns Spike Ball from him, and Zero earns Twin Dream. Dark Necrobat (Dark Dizzy), an escaped creation of Sigma holding a Fuel Tank. X and Zero both earn Dark Hold from him. Burn Dinorex (Mattrex), a weapons crafter holding a Booster Engine. X earns Ground Fire from him, and Zero earns Quake Blazer.

comment
Darker and Edgier: It has an unusually oppressive atmosphere for a Mega Man game, thanks to the counter until the colony hits (though it doesn't matter much in practice), and there's a disturbing undercurrent that pervades the whole game, with the virus infecting everything, the trippy final stages, sinister hints of Dr. Wily's involvement with the faded W logos and old bosses from Classic Mega Man, Zero and X fighting each other and the former possibly becoming corrupted by the virus, and then finally dying no matter which ending you get. He gets better next game though. Even the regular Maverick boss theme is the darkest-sounding in the series.

Multiple Endings
 Mega Man X5 (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: The second time for the series (the first was X3). It all depends on whether you managed to destroy Eurasia or not: If you do, then the ending depends on who you're playing as for the final level, X or Zero. If you don't, then Zero will be unusable for the rest of the game. Because of the confusing chronology of the multiple endings in the series context, the Legacy Collection achievement for getting them all is named "Time Paradox".

comment
Boss Banter: Like X4, the Mavericks will talk to the hunters before battle. The banter varies depending upon when the boss is talked to: Either pre-colony drop, post-colony drop, or colony explosion will all have different dialogues. The Skiver is one of the more blatant examples.

 Mega Man X5 (Video Game) / int_23698fa8
comment
Aborted Arc: Since X5 is supposed to be the final X series game, the franchise would have gone full-circle with the implication that Dr. Wily is still around. But then the X series continued on, and there is little to no mention of Wily ever since with the exception of the reploid scientist Isoc from X6 possibly being a body used by Wily like Serges from X2 was also implied to be in the original Japanese localization. In X's ending if Zero went Maverick, he mentions wanting to build a utopia called "Elysium". This seemed to allude to the possibility of X (or Copy-X, who was originally supposed to be X himself) building it in the Mega Man Zero series. However, in the Zero series, Copy-X runs a city called "Neo Arcadia" with no mention of Elysium. Dynamo disappears halfway into the game with no mention of him at all at the end. He is absent for the rest of the X series, except for a cameo in X6.

Bag of Spilling: Averted for once; X still has the Fourth Armor if you start a new game with him, although it does seem to be missing the head part's abilities. Played straight however if you start the game with Zero as X will sustain an injury that destroys the Fourth Armor during the opening stage.

Ramming Always Works: When the Enigma laser cannon fails, plan B was to use a manned space shuttle with Zero as the pilot. Subverted in that it doesn't always work (sometimes even if you managed to get all the needed parts in time). Also a favorite attack of Spiral Pegasus and Burn Dinorex.

 Mega Man X5 (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: Regardless of whether or not the Eurasia is stopped, X and Zero nearly die in the fight with Sigma at the end of the game, and Zero is presumed dead. Especially bad if Zero did go Maverick, as after X is repaired, he no longer remembers Zero thanks to reprogramming that the Maverick Hunters can't undo. Also, Earth is still left devastated from the remaining debris of Eurasia despite being mostly destroyed, as lampshaded by Gate. Ironically, the fact Eurasia's pieces still crash down on Earth ends up being a good thing in the long run, since its environmental systems end up being what helps revive nature in Mega Man Zero 4.

Game Mod: The North American PlayStation release has the Improvement Project by DarkSamus993, a ROM hack that aimed to add some quality-of-life changes to the game such as both Hunters get to keep their respective bonuses regardless who was chosen at the start of the game, Heart Tanks/Life Ups/Weapon Ups are shared by both characters, and completely disabling Alia's hints. This project was incorporated and expanded upon with the Improvement Project Addendum helmed by acediez, which not only restores the missing and altered features from the Japanese version (the title screen art, Maverick names, songs, voices, and unused music), it features a retranslated script, fixes the parts acquisition mechanics, tweaked the RNG mechanics of the Engima and Shuttle, X can use armor parts without completing the set, and various other gameplay rebalancing and quality-of-life changes, bring the project to be comparable to the author's Mega Man X6 Tweaks ROM hack.

Fragile Speedster: X with the Falcon Armor: It allows the best mobility of all armors, as it gives X the ability to fly for several seconds, and while flying, he creates an energy barrier in front of him, so the smaller enemies are unable to touch him. Its charged shot is a powerful laser that pierces through enemies, and actually connecting several hits to the bigger ones, and for its Giga Attack, X unleashes a flurry of vertical lasers that fill the entire screen, essentially wiping out small enemies, and dealing good damage to bigger ones; however, its downside is that, unlike with the Fourth Armor, X is unable to charge special weapons.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: In the opening of the game, if you look very carefully at the bottom-left of the screen at the 0:33 mark, you can see the word WILY appear. During the X vs. Zero battle, the winning combatant remarks that they didn't expect the loser to use Soul Body as a final attack before collapsing from their injuries. If you squint, you'll see X/Zero actually send out Soul Body to attack the player right at the end of the usual explosion that signifies a defeated boss.

Permanently Missable Content: As mentioned above, the character you don’t pick for the opening stage loses an item for the game: for X, the Fourth Armor, and for Zero, the Z-Buster. Albeit one that takes a bit of Epic Fail; if you get all the orbs in Squid Adler's stage, open the door to the Falcon Armor capsule and then somehow fall down the hole to continue...you can't get back up to it. And the orbs don't respawn once the door has been opened. So if you do that and then save, you lose both Armors, since a Gaea Armor capsule requires the Falcon Armor to reach. And if you then don’t find the Ultimate Armor capsule in Zero Space Stage 3, you have to go the entire game as armorless X. Likewise, missing this capsule means you can’t be Black Zero either. Since parts don’t start appearing until bosses reach level 8, any parts held by bosses defeated before then are gone for good. You can also take only one of a boss’ two parts. Fail to stop Eurasia (either by failing both the Random Number God opportunities to destroy it, or letting the time run out), and you lose the ability to play as Zero for the remainder of the game.

Fighting Your Friend: No matter what you do, X and Zero end up fighting each other. In the good ending route, it's because Zero refuses to return to the base with X attempting to bring him back by force due to believing he might become infected by the virus. In the bad ending route, X attempts to arrest Zero when he becomes a Maverick and is forced to fight him which eventually brings him back to his senses and leads him to sacrifice himself to kill Sigma and forced Dr. Light to reprogram X so he can no longer remember Zero.

He can bind himself directly to machinery and transform it to his will, and trying to destroy him again only allows the Sigma Virus to spread across the entire planet!

What Happened to the Mouse?
 Mega Man X5 (Video Game) / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: Dynamo was built up as a formidable opponent since the start of the game, acting as Sigma's new Dragon, being the one responsible for infecting Eurasia and causing it to crash to the planet, and personally challenging the Maverick Hunters at their own HQ twice to slow them down. However, once the final levels start, Dynamo mysteriously disappears from the plot. He does end up making a return in X6, but as this was originally intended to be the Series Finale, it's still a bit glaring how he's just suddenly dropped from the story.

At the start, the player has to choose which character to use for the first level: either X or Zero. Choosing one will have a bonus in that character's abilities (the Force/Fourth Armor or the Z-buster, respectively). The other bonus will not be available for the rest of the game, on account of being severely damaged by Sigma prior to the first Boss battle.

Alas, Poor Villain: A few Mavericks went out of control due to the Sigma Virus infections, while others, such as Spiral Pegasus and Tidal Whale lost their will to live, and Burn Dinorex was consumed by paranoia. Their last request is to be Mercy Killed before they go insane. Only Spike Rosered and Dark Necrobat are truly assholes among the bosses.

Jack of All Stats: Of the three armors X can carry (four if we count the Ultimate Armor), the Fourth Armor is the best balanced, as X is able to keep most of his abilities from Mega Man X4, such as hovering in the air, air dashing, the Plasma Shot, and the ability to charge special weapons.

 Mega Man X5 (Video Game) / int_b0657f9a
comment
Well-Intentioned Replacement: The Fourth Armor recreated by Alia isn't a perfect replica, lacking the ability to provide infinite weapon energy, the fully powered Plasma Charge Shot, and having no Nova Strike at all. However, it is the only armor capable of charging special weapons before you find the Ultimate Armor, and fills the Jack of All Stats role in X's wardrobe.

Epic Fail
 Mega Man X5 (Video Game) / int_b4eff8a8
comment
Albeit one that takes a bit of Epic Fail; if you get all the orbs in Squid Adler's stage, open the door to the Falcon Armor capsule and then somehow fall down the hole to continue...you can't get back up to it. And the orbs don't respawn once the door has been opened. So if you do that and then save, you lose both Armors, since a Gaea Armor capsule requires the Falcon Armor to reach. And if you then don’t find the Ultimate Armor capsule in Zero Space Stage 3, you have to go the entire game as armorless X. Likewise, missing this capsule means you can’t be Black Zero either.

Warm-Up Boss
 Mega Man X5 (Video Game) / int_beda4b12
comment
Warmup Boss: And it's Sigma, of all people, who is fought in the opening stage this time. Of course, Sigma then later comes back as the Final Boss as usual. And the boss of the tutorial stage is Magma Dragoon, who was That One Boss in the previous game. Thankfully, he was toned down a lot since then. Crescent Grizzly is the first boss offered in the stage line-up, and usually recommended to be fought first. He is also the easiest of the eight Mavericks to defeat, and gives Zero one of his most valuable attacks.

Irony: X worries about Zero having been infected and may turn Maverick at any moment, so he confronts Zero and asks him to return to base for inspection. Zero, being both perfectly fine and fairly proud, doesn't want to go back. X, mistaking his friend's stubbornness as a sign of guilt and believing that the circumstances are too dire for him to afford taking the chance, attacks Zero. This parallels the events that led up to the Repliforce War in the previous game.

Shout-Out: Dark Hold stops time in the same style as The World. You even get the weapon from a vampire bat Maverick. In the X Legacy Collection re-release, the achievement for destroying an enemy for the first time with the Falcon Armor is called "Up, Up and Away", doing the same with the Gaea Armor gives you "By Your Powers Combined".

During the X vs. Zero battle, the winning combatant remarks that they didn't expect the loser to use Soul Body as a final attack before collapsing from their injuries. If you squint, you'll see X/Zero actually send out Soul Body to attack the player right at the end of the usual explosion that signifies a defeated boss.

Anti-Frustration Features: Not a whole lot, but if you invested heavily in Zero, and the plans to stop the Colony Drop fails, X has 4 heart tanks (though he'll need Gaea and Falcon Armors to reach them) to help give him some extra health to help against enemies he isn't ready for. Despite the game being presented as a Timed Mission, you can take as much time as you want during stages, as time only ticks down when you enter a stage. As infamously difficult as the Ride Chaser segment of Volt Kraken's stage is (especially if you're gunning for the Falcon Armor part) the rest of the stage rewards the player with a ton of extra lives.

Lightning Bruiser: X with the Ultimate Armor, which can be accessed via either a cheat code or in-game by going into Zero Space 3 as unarmored X and finding the Dr. Light capsule hidden within: it's essentially the same as the Fourth Armor, with the addition of Nova Strike, which wipes out anything in sight, and allows X to take down bosses in a matter of seconds. Same goes to Black Zero, which is basically the same as Normal Zero, except that now the damage he takes is cut down by 50%, and his saber changes color, from green to purple, which lets him absorb enemy projectiles.

Dub Name Change: Infamously, all of the Mavericks' names were changed to homage members of the band Guns N' Roses (turns out Alyson Court, who was a member of the English localization team, as well as the first and longest-standing voice actress of Claire Redfield, had something to do with this)note the exception being the Skiver, who is named after Michael "High in the Sky" Monroe, who frequently collaborated with Guns n' Roses. Averted with the manual of the game (in the western versions), which does use the original names rather than the changed names, and averted almost completely with the Legacy Collection restoring the original names in the game proper.

Nerf: To compensate for the fact it's become the default armor available from the beginning, the Fourth Armor has received several downgrades from X4. It only has halved weapon energy consumption rather than infinite, there's no Nova Strike Giga Attack and no access to the Stock Charge Shot, and the Plasma Shot only leaves behind one plasma ball instead of three and no longer goes through walls. This is justified In-Universe by the fact the X5 Fourth Armor is a duplicate created by Alia analyzing the discarded X4 original, but she wasn't able completely analyze and successfully recreate it perfectly because the original from Dr. Light was over 100 years old.

GameplayAndStoryIntegration
 Mega Man X5 (Video Game) / int_e6630c8b
comment
Gameplay and Story Integration: Being infected by The Virus causes X to constantly take damage for a time. Zero becomes invulnerable. This is given further backing in one boss, where, if not defeated in a certain amount of time, Maverick Zero becomes invincible and starts spamming Genmurei. At the start, the player has to choose which character to use for the first level: either X or Zero. Choosing one will have a bonus in that character's abilities (the Force/Fourth Armor or the Z-buster, respectively). The other bonus will not be available for the rest of the game, on account of being severely damaged by Sigma prior to the first Boss battle. Fail to stop the Colony Drop, and Zero will "awaken" and will be unavailable for the rest of the game. Dark Necrobat is a Reploid created by Sigma for his Maverick army, but defected from Sigma and ran away. As a result, Necrobat is the only one of the eight bosses to have a Sigma insignia under his health bar. When you go into the X vs. Zero battle, neither of the characters fought as a boss use any of the new moves in X5. Against X, he will use several of the attacks he earned in X4 against you; his Soul Body is heavily altered and homes against you multiple times. Regular Zero uses the moves he used in X3, as well as an altered Messenkou (Ground Pound) move; his Z-Saber Sword Beam now homes on you. This is averted on Maverick Zero because this is his first real appearance, if this path was taken.

Series Fauxnale: Wraps up a lot of things in the X series, including confirmation that Dr. Wily created Zero and the Maverick Virus, the fight between X and Zero that was foreshadowed since the third game, and sets things up for the Mega Man Zero series. Unfortunately, Executive Meddling would ensure that the series would go on without Inafune's input, creating a Continuity Snarl between the X and Zero series, also resulting in many an Aborted Arc.note Due to the series's abrupt cancellation after X8, resulting in the plot threads from this and future games being forgotten.
