History VideoGame / MegaManX7

* GuideDangIt: Go into the options menu and turn Autofire ON. Now, [[ScratchDamage Axl's pistols]] are autofire instead of [[ButtonMashing manual]]. You're welcome.

* LazyBackup: X7 has a team mechanic, where you choose two Hunters and can switch between them without leaving the stage. However, as soon as one of them is defeated, you lose a life and have to start over. Where did the other Hunter go?

* MegaManning: No duh, considering the series, but Axl uses it in a different way with the ability to change into various {{Mooks}} and using their unique abilities to fight through the stage [[spoiler: and find hidden Heart Tanks/E-Tanks/Armor Capsules]]
* MercyInvincibility: Averted in the case of lava and SpikesOfDoom - if you touch hazardous terrain, even while invincible, you lose a life. We haven't seen this behavior since VideoGame/MegaMan1.
* NostalgiaLevel: Zero's part of the intro stage is the same highway X travelled through in VideoGame/MegaManX1.

* VideoGame3DLeap: This is the first 3D Mega Man X game. At least it has this credit.

The [[VideoGameLongRunners seventh entry in the]] MegaManX series, X7 was the series' first appearance on the SixthGeneration of consoles (PlayStation2) and it's first and only attempt at true 3D gameplay which achieved [[PolygonCeiling middling results at best]]. This game is also infamous for introducing [[KidHero Axl]], a third protagonist in the series who developed a bit of a reputation as a [[TheScrappy scrappy]], at least until the [[MegaManX8 next game came along]].

The Mavericks are:

* Tornado Tonion, gives the Volt Tornado to Axl (+ Ray Gun) and X, and the [[{{Shoryuken}} Raijinshou]] to Zero

* Wind Crowrang, gives the Wind Cutter to Axl and X, and the Souenbu (+ [[KnifeNut V-Hanger]]) to Zero

* TenMinuteRetirement: At the beginning of the game, only Zero and Axl are playable. X has given up Maverick Hunting and gone full pacifist. [[spoiler: After you rescue a certain amount of Reploids or defeat 4 Mavericks, X changes his mind.]]

** Possibly done this way because said Hunter actually dies when this happens.

* UnderratedAndOverleveled: X has never rose above a B rank hunter, but with his absence from the Maverick Hunters a rival organization has caught up to them.

* Tornado Tonion, gives the Volt Tornado to Axl (+ Ray Gun) and X, and the [[Shoryuken Raijinshou]] to Zero

* Splash Warfly, gives the Splash Laser to Axl and X, and the Suiretsusen (+ D-Glaive) to Zero
* Tornado Tonion, gives the Volt Tornado to Axl (+ Ray Gun) and X, and the Raijinshou to Zero

* Snipe Anteator, gives the [[HomingMissile Sniper Missile]] to Axl and X, and the Hieijin to Zero

* Flame Hyenard, gives the Circle Blaze to Axl (+ Double Bullets) and X, and the Bakuenjin to Zero
* Wind Crowrang, gives the Wind Cutter to Axl and X, and the Souenbu (+ V-Hanger) to Zero
* Snipe Anteator, gives the Sniper Missile to Axl and X, and the Hieijin to Zero

* Soldier Stonekong, gives the Gaea Shield to Axl and X, and the Gokumonken to Zero

* RememberTheNewGuy: Red Alert as a whole. Apparently they've always played second fiddle to the Maverick Hunters until this game.

The game begins with X quitting the Maverick Hunters, as he tries to find a truly peaceful solution to the Maverick problem. This power vacuum allows a rival organization, Red Alert, to keep up with the Hunters. The game begins with one of their members named Axl fleeing the organization during a Maverick outbreak and bumps into Zero, who escorts him to Maverick Hunter headquarters.

The game begins with X quitting the Maverick Hunters, as he tries to find a truly peaceful solution to the Maverick problem. This power vacuum allows a rival organization, Red Alert, to keep up with the Hunters. Their leader, Red, takes care of a young Reploid named Axl, who has the power to briefly copy the Reploid DNA of others. As of late, Axl has noticed Red Alert has been acting recklessly and sometimes ruthlessly, and he's had enough. He escapes during a Maverick outbreak and bumps into Zero, who escorts him back to Maverick Hunter base.

Red is not happy about this, and releases all of Red Alert's most dangerous Mavericks and challenges the Hunters to a contest. Whoever captures or destroys the most Mavericks gets to keep Axl. Axl feels quite guilty about being the cause of all this strife, and [[TagalongKid tags along with Zero]] to help him out. As it turns out, [[HijackedByGanon Sigma, using the alias "The Professor" corrupted Red Alert]] in his efforts to get Axl and his DNA Copy ability.

* KangarooPouch: Vanishing Gungaroo rides a giant kangaroo mech, with the cockpit located in its "pouch".

* ActualPacifist: X decides to find a non-violent solution, at first. Then he realizes ViolenceIsTheOnlyAnswer.

* MostAnnoyingSound: The Flame Hyenard boss fight. Hyenard himself is a bit of a LargeHam repeatedly shouting [[PlayingWithFire "BURN!"]] and [[KillItWithFire Burn to the "GROUND!!"]], but eventually he clones himself and [[UpToEleven ALL THREE]] start shouting the phrases.

CoversAlwaysLie: At least the US cover does. Zero and Axl are prominent on the Japanese cover with X as a barely visible background character. On the US cover, the X artwork is front and center with Zero and Axl barely visible behind him.
