History VideoGame / MegaManXCommandMission

* BonusBoss: Rafflesian and Duckbill Mole can be fought if the player finds keys to unlock two locked rooms in previous dungeons. And after beating the game, the player can go beneath Resistance HQ and fight the Ninetails clan.

* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Being a ''Mega Man'' game, this is pretty much expected. However, being an RPG game, GameplayAndStorySegregation sometimes kicked in when the enemy exploding after being defeated in the battle sequence, but shown to be completely intact afterwards.

''Mega Man X: Command Mission'' is a video game released in 2004 by Creator/{{Capcom}} for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 and UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube. It is a GaidenGame to the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' series, and differs by being a JRPG adventure rather than a platform action game.

* WhipItGood: Ferham, the robot dominatrix of the Rebellion Cadre.

* OverprotectiveDad: Professor Gaudile to Cinnamon, initially.

Given the major story discrepancies between this game, ''VideoGame/MegaManX8'', and the ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' series, it is generally interpreted that this game is set in an AlternateTimeline. However, with the ''X'' series' [[LeftHanging abandonment]], it remains to be seen if that could be true or if the characters from this title could appear as [[CanonImmigrant canon immigrants]] in the mainline entries.

Regardless, characters and designs from Command Mission have been featured in ''VideoGame/MegaManXDive'' and ''VideoGame/Teppen2019'', both of which are mobile phone {{crossover}} games.

* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Being a ''Mega Man'' game, this is pretty much expected. However, GameplayAndStorySegregation sometimes kicked in when the enemy was shown exploding after being defeated, but shown to be completely intact after the battle, which means they don't get killed.
** Most of the bosses explodes with PreExplosionGlow, the screen whitened out when they got defeated, however bonus bosses such as Duckbill Mole, Rafflesian (alongside Belladonnas) and Ninetails Clan simply explode into fireballs with no glowing effect when defeated, just like regular enemies.

* SdrawkcabAlias: The biggest clue to the BigBad: [[spoiler:Spider/Redips]]. It was supposedly {{lampshaded}} in the instruction booklet, which had the excuse of [[spoiler:''misspelling'' the latter name]] so that no one would make the connection until the {{reveal}}.

* BossRush: Yes, even though this game is an RPG instead of a platformer, being a Franchise/MegaMan game, it still features this. [[spoiler:All of the boss rematches (except Scarface, Ferham, Botos and Dr Psyche) are copy chip Reploids with boosted stats with a new boss in between them and the final boss.]]

* InfinityPlusOneSword: X's new version of the Ultimate Armor and Zero's [[PunnyName Absolute Zero]] armor.

* DirtyCoward: Despite all the trouble Boros gives you in his debut fight, he's an absolute joke without the Supra Force Metal empowering him. It speaks volumes that his unique battle theme is utterly silly, his clone is stronger than her is and that he'll run away if given a chance.

* BossRush: Yes, even though this game is an RPG instead of a platformer, being a Franchise/MegaMan game, it still features this. [[spoiler:Made of copy chip Reploids.]]

* ScarfOfAsskicking: X is sporting one. And it's not just a scarf: It's a ''laser scarf.''

* {{Shotoclone}}: The BonusBoss, Ninetails, is a robotic chi warrior based around the {{Kitsune}} legend...who uses a massive [[KamehameHadoken Hadoken]] as one of his most powerful moves.

* PantyShot: For whatever reason, Cinnamon has these as the only female Reploid with a 3D model ''and'' a skirt in the entire ''X'' series.

->''"Your mission is to infiltrate Giga City and halt the activities of Epsilon's organization, the Rebellion. I'm afraid the team that went in before you has likely perished. You are our final hope. If you fail this mission, then... We will have no choice but to launch an indiscriminate assault on Giga City."''

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:After the first battle with Great/God Redips, Ferham shows up and tries to yank a piece of Supra-Force Metal off his shoulder to weaken him. But she's not strong enough. Great Redips gets angry and blasts her... knocking the metal down with her. Thanks for the help!]]

'''Zero:''' What? This... This can't be real!\\

Given the major story discrepancies between this game, ''VideoGame/MegaManX8'', and the ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' series, it is generally interpreted that this game is non-canon and set in an AlternateTimeline. [[{{Fanon}} Some fans however have theorized that it could take place in the early 22XX, as to not overlap with the games that came after]]. However, with the ''X'' series' [[LeftHanging abandonment]], it remains to be seen if that could be true or if the characters from this title could appear as [[CanonImmigrant canon immigrants]] in the mainline entries.

* BarrierChangeBoss: Incentas, who starts as a non-elemental boss but switches his modes every turn. This is denoted by his [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience color changing]] as well as adopting a different stance, and in turn swaps around what attacks he will resist. There is, notably, no actual cycle to his swaps--you just have to adjust on the fly for whatever element he changes to.

* ButtonMashing: The X's Ultimate Armor Action Trigger is simply "Mash buttons until everything dies." You also have to mash to get Steel Massimo's Action Trigger to work properly--the more you mash, the more damage he does and the more debuffs he stacks on the target.

* ImmunityDisability: Spider's and Axl's Hyper Modes make them invincible, to reflect the fact that enemies trying to hit them are firing completely blind - but this also prevents allies from healing them.

* InterfaceSpoiler: Is there a reason [[spoiler: [[TheMole Shadow]]]] never joins the party in battle?

* OneHitKill: Some enemies can perform this on you. The Meltdown will do this if you don't kill it in time. The Tail Clan have the Annhilator Hadouken attack, which has a chance of doing this to you.

* {{Shotoclone}}: The BonusBoss, Ninetails, is a robotic chi warrior based around the {{Kitsune}} legend...who uses a massive [[KamehameHadoken Hadoken]] as one of his most powerful moves.

* TalkToTheFist:
** Epsilon vows to wage war against the Hunters until his death and then it comes instantly, courtesy of X.

In the year [[ExtyYearsFromNow 22XX]], a powerful new ore called [[AppliedPhlebotinum Force Metal]] is discovered in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and the artificial island Giga City is constructed to mine it. However, things go wrong when a mysterious Reploid named Epsilon forms a Rebellion Army and instigates a [[RobotWar revolt]] on the island. With the situation looking tense, a team of elite Maverick Hunters -- X, Zero, and Shadow -- are sent to Giga City to arrest Epsilon and put an end to the civil unrest. Along the way, they are forced to band together with the locals in order to save the world from the dangerous potential of Force Metal.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Epsilon. Also, Shadow, ''after'' he betrays X and Zero -- before then, [[MoodRingEyes his eyes are blue]] -- and [[spoiler:Spider, since he turns out to be a form of the BigBad]].
