Passwords

You may want to do things differently on repeat playthroughs of Mega Man X2. That's where these passwords come in. Less about simply starting the game at different points, these passwords can let you start at the beginning (after the Intro Stage) or near the end of the game with or without various collectibles and upgrades.

They won't save your lives, the contents of your sub tanks, or the Shoryuken, so you'll have to build those up again each time you load from a password.

Skip right to the end of the game with everything except the Shoryuken.

For if you want to play through all of the stages but can't be bothered to hunt for secrets.

All Upgrades, Nothing Else
