[[ExtyYearsFromNow In the year 21XX]], the mother computer of the Maverick Hunters’ headquarters has been hacked by an unknown source, rewriting all of the Maverick Hunters’ data in an instant and causing chaos throughout the world. In the confusion, Mavericks have started to attack, leaving Zero to handle the outside threat while X digitizes himself to enter the computer and discover who is responsible for this new threat.

Assisted by fellow reploid and computer genius Middy, X must battle through the data of enemies he has already defeated in the past, to discover a mysterious Maverick named Techno as the hacker, assisted by a mysterious duo by the names of Zain and Geemel. However, it turns out someone is pulling Techno's strings from behind the scenes...

In Extreme Mode, all eight Mavericks from the previous two modes can be fought in any order the player wishes.

* AssistCharacter: Zero can be summoned with Data Chips found in Hard Mode.

* TheStinger: After the credits, Techno lets you know that you can now play Hard Mode.

* [[HijackedByGanon Hijacked By Sigma]]: As it turns out, Techno is being mind-controlled into hacking the Maverick Hunters’ computer by Sigma.

* ArtisticLicenseEngineering: Middy and Techno somehow share the same CPU because they are brothers, despite the fact a CPU is a physical piece of hardware and the two are not at all connected, and in fact spend most of the game miles away from one another.

* BloodKnight: Zain is only interested in defeating X ... although it's also entirely possible this is a result of him being a FlatCharacter.

* {{Cutscene}}: The opening intro to the game, which has text so exceedingly slow, that it runs for a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=busWsjNrC4w whopping five minutes.]] Fortunately, it can be skipped.

* [[HijackedByGanon Hijacked By Sigma]]: As it turns out, Techno is being mind-controlled into hacking the Maverick Hunter's computer by Sigma.

* NewGamePlus: To unlock Hard Mode you have to beat Normal Mode, but in Hard Mode you keep all weapons and upgrades you obtained in Normal Mode. Extreme Mode averts this, having the player start over fresh with all 8 Mavericks to fight in any order they wish.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Techno's design is considerably more simple than every else in the game, and everyone else in the ''X'' series for that matter. He looks like he'd fit well in the ''Classic'' series.

* SkywardScream: Middy gets an emotion one after his brother, Techno, [[DiedInYourArmsTonight dies in his arms]].

* XtremeKoolLetterz: ''Mega Man XTREME!'' [[DontExplainTheJoke Obviously a play on the word "Extreme" and the fact the main character is named X]].

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: If you're used to the controls from the SuperNintendo ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' titles or the games from the ''VideoGame/MegaManZero''/''VideoGame/MegaManZX'' era, playing this game on the Virtual Console can and will trip you up at times, since you have to remember that you no longer have a button to dash and the fire/jump buttons are in different places.
