* WarmUpBoss: The Gigantic Mechaniloid CF-0 from the intro stage. It's a ''huge'' robot, but it has a weak, simplistic attack pattern, and it can literally be mowed down in seconds due to it's large hitbox and very low durability.

** Good luck finding the Armor upgrade in this game. You need to use the Spin Wheel on a certain spot on the floor that isn't marked or distinguished in any way (by looking destructible or discolored, for example). There's no reason you'd come across it unless you were arbitrarily using the Spin Wheel (or the Helmet Radar) in this spot. And when you find it, the tiles don't crumble in a way that's graphically consistent with the series; the tileset literally falls off like someone was messing with it in a level editor.

''Mega Man X2'' is the second entry in the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' series, released on the SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem on December 16, 1994 in Japan, January 1995 in North America, and October 1995 in Europe.
In the year 21XX, set six months after [[VideoGame/MegaManX1 the events of the first game]], X has taken over as the leader of Maverick Hunters following Zero's death. A group of Mavericks are discovered in an abandoned factory, and under X's orders, the Maverick Hunters travel to the area to destroy them.
Shortly afterward, however, Serges, Violin and Agile, part of a mysterious group known as the "X-Hunters", reveal themselves, unleashing a new group of Mavericks as well as claiming to hold the three pieces of Zero. X must then face this new threat and the new Mavericks.
Mavericks:
* Wheel Gator of the 6th Naval Unit, gives Spin Wheel
* Bubble Crab of the 6th Naval Unit, gives Bubble Splash
* Flame Stag of the 17th Elite Unit, gives Speed Burner
* Morph Moth of an unknown unit, gives Silk Shot
* Magna Centipede of the 0th Special Unit, gives Magnet Mine
* Crystal Snail of an unknown unit, gives Crystal Hunter
* Overdrive Ostrich of the 7th Airborne Unit, gives Sonic Slicer
* Wire Sponge of an unknown unit, gives Strike Chain

* BossRush: The Mavericks are refought in the traditional teleporter layout.
* CoolAirship: Wheel Gator commands the Dinosaur Tank.
* CreepyCentipedes: Magna Centipede, who's a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot ninja hacker centipede robot]].
* DarkerAndEdgier: This game shows a very violent way to kill a Maverick; if you kill Wire Sponge using his primary weakness, the poor dude gets ''sliced in half''.
* [[spoiler:[[HijackedByGanon Hijacked By Sigma]]: He suddenly shows up at the end of the game without any forshadowing or warning.]]

* InfinityPlusOneSword: The Shoryuken.
* MultipleEndings: Subverted! [[spoiler:Gathering all of Zero's parts]] definitely changes things in the final battle, but they only slightly affect the ending.
* OneWingedAngel: Morph Moth reveals his true form halfway through the fight against him. [[spoiler:Sigma]] also becomes a wireframe head.
* PlatformBattle: The rematch against Serges, set on floating platforms above a bed of lethal spikes.
* PlayerGuidedMissile: The Magnet Mine can be steered vertically while it's in flight, both in normal and charged forms.
* RemovableShell: Crystal Snail. If you hit him with the Magnet Mine, his shell flies off, causing him to lose his only method of defence and causing him to focus on trying to reclaim it over attacking you... which you can prolong indefinitely by knocking the shell around. Justified because he's a robot.
* [[HumanPopsicle Reploid Popsicle]]: Overdrive Ostrich in X2 is a variant, instead of being vulnerable to ice, he's vulnerable to being sealed in crystal, but it's the same idea.
* ScreenShake: The screen constantly shakes in Wheel Gator's stage.
* SequentialBoss:
** Morph Moth starts the battle in a larval stage and doesn't reveal his true form until low on HP.
** The refight against Serges has him move into a new phase when the four initial cannons on his machine is destroyed.
* SkippableBoss: [[spoiler:If you defeat the three X-Hunters in the Maverick stages and obtain all of Zero's pieces, you won't have to fight Zero in the final stage.]]
* SmashingSurvival: Used to escape Crystal Snail's [[CrystalPrison Crystal Hunter]].
* TurnsRed: Starting with this game, the Mavericks began unleashing new and more powerful attacks after their HP hits 50%. Flame Stag doesn't reveal much in the way of new attacks, but the color of his fire upgrades from red to blue (in the rematch against him, he already starts out blue).
* WhereItAllBegan: A subversion: [[spoiler:Sigma]] is fought in an earlier Maverick stage (specificly [[spoiler:Magna Centipede's]]), but not necessarily the first stage. In fact, trying to revisit this stage at this point (instead of trying to choose the wrecked X-Hunter base) will just take the player to the final stage as normal.
