Unused Graphics

MMXT2-4DnaSoul.png An alternate DNA Soul item with four sections. Basic enemies only drop the 1-3 segment variants, and the bosses only ever drop the 5 segment variant, rendering this one unused. Based on the others' values, it probably would have been worth 50 DNA Souls.

MMXT2-WepEnrg.png A small Weapon Energy capsule, taken straight from the previous title. Unlike that game, enemies do not drop regular Weapon Energy, only the DNA Soul counterparts, and the only regular weapon energy, placed in any stage in this game, is a single large one in Launch Octopus' stage.

Regional Differences

Japan International

The most noticeable difference here are the color changes: Japan got a light green color, while the international versions were stuck with purple. The "Press Start" text was also moved lower in the international versions to accommodate the larger title.

Oddities

There are three notable typos in this game that went uncorrected in the Virtual Console re-release.

  • The Reploid Research Laboratory is mistakenly referred to as the "Reploid Research Lavatory" during the introduction sequence.
  • During the cutscene in which X and Zero encounter Sigma, the latter says, "Now is not the time to talk, now is the time to destroyed!"
  • During the ending, X says that the "DNA Soul are returning".
