* BolivianArmyEnding: In the ending Zero finds himself in a desert, surrounded by a veritable army of Pantheons. The last shot before the credits roll is him bisecting one with his sword. He was fine, obviously, as sequel reveals.

The game is a platformer like the previous ''Franchise/MegaMan'' games but introduces several new concepts, such as Cyber-elves, one-time helpers who can increase Zero's abilities and a rank system depending on how well Zero is performing.

Neo Arcadia, the last hospitable city on the planet, enacts a policy that demotes its Reploids into second-class citizens. This is naturally met with resistance from the Reploids, but they were branded Maverick and persecuted as a result. One cell of resistance fighters, led by human sympathizer Ciel, decide to seek out the legendary Maverick Hunter Zero. Found deep inside a derelict laboratory, Ciel wakes Zero up (having [[AmnesiacHero no memories]] of his past adventures) and joins the Resistance's cause, even if it means going up against his old comrade X, the ruler of Neo Arcadia.

* GuideDangIt: While the game gives you the basics on how to level up your weapons, it doesn't at all mention certain hidden mechanics to the leveling system. While each killed enemy gives a weapon experience points, what the game never tells you, or at least only vaguely hints at, is that there are ''separate experience bars'' for different attacks with the same weapon (i.e. the Z Saber gets different experience with the normal slash, the dashing slash, the jump slash, and the charged slash). For example, while typical leveling with the Z Saber follows getting the double slash, then triple slash, the charged slash, the faster charging charged slash, and then the aerial spin and/or rolling slash, investing into killing enemies with the jump slash or dashing slash over normal slashing can unlock the aerial spin slash and the rolling slash before ''ever'' getting the double slash. The Z Buster follows a similar pattern in that it's possible to unlock the second level of the ChargedAttack before unlocking the four bullets upgrade simply by prioritizing killing enemies with the Charge Shot over regular shots.
