I think the reason why some levels are different in Xtreme 2 is because those were the X3 levels and were done by Minakuchi Engineering, and thus, the Capcom team wanted to give their own spin on it, at least, from what I can tell, since Minakuchi didn't work on this game.

[@DarkLink1996.]

Probably more that Xtreme 1 got flack for it in reviews, since previous portable Mega Man's got unique levels to their console counterparts. So for the sequel, they went back to what worked

Xtreme 2 also has the Time Attack mode once you beat Extreme Mode, letting you take on all eight Mavericks in a boss rush as fast as you can obviously.

[@goldhatcher9223]

In Xtreme 2 it's possible to get through X's campaign without armor but you'd have to be very knowledgeable in general movement and pattern of that one rocket pillar in Berkana's stage and strategic with using mercy invincibility to get to higher places later on i.e. using the bats as fodder. Learned that from recently doing no armor runs of X1-X3(each was hell in their own way) and Xtreme in anticipation for the X Legacy Collection. But for the most part, yea you'd need all armor as it was how they designed it. Which is utter bull crap. Great video, too. Broke the games and their aspects down very well.

[@yoman8027]

Gold Hatcher Some programmers can't believe that someone would want to do an armorless run. It happened in X6 too, specially because you always have an armor available.

[@goldhatcher9223]

That is very true. And I was going to attempt that as well. No armor also meant no hearts, weapon upgrades, or sub-tanks. X1's Sigma battle was not fun. Nor was X3. Bosses in it were super dumb pattern wise though just Sigma was a pain. In X6 the closest I'd get is doing up to Gate's stages without armor and doing that one stage... as Shadow armor. Since that's the hardest to get by with. Done it before by abusing Shadow's giga attack to get across that one gap. Made Gate's fight cake.

Me personally I found far more value in Xtreme 1 because of my experience with the series. I never had an SNES, so I never got to play X1-3 until getting the X Collection well after playing both of these games to death. When I was blazing through X1's stages that were carried over, finally listening to their original music counterparts, I was blown away by how faithful Xtreme was for a Game Boy demake of an SNES game. Honestly, I appreciated that far more than the original level design of Xtreme 2 since Xtreme 2 to me was simply another game that I didn't know the originals for. I just plain prefer Xtreme 1 is all, they're both *REALLY* good games and I highly recommend picking them both up. Cheap demakes that play about as good as their original counterparts (and in the case of Xtreme 2's X3 levels, they're way better).

It is so weird that some of these Mega Man games for the gameboy pick two games that already exist and combine them in a "new" game, but the only one that is completely original is Mega Man V, or Megaman World 5, whatever you wanna call it. But to be honest, it's actually really good having a "demake" version of the SNES classics from the X Series. By the way, one thing I've noticed that this character changing in real gameplay time has it's origins in Xtreme 2, this was something I thought it was originated in X7, Thank God I was wrong all this time! Because, spoilers, X7 isn't that good, if you're waiting for SomecallmeJohnny's review on it.
