Mega Man X Command Mission

Mega Man X: Command Mission is a video game released in 2004 by Capcom for the PlayStation 2 and Game Cube. It is a Gaiden Game to the Mega Man X series, considered non-canonical despite references to events from previous games, and also differs in being an RPG rather than a platform action game.

The setting is Giga City, an artificial island in the Pacific Ocean built for mining Force Metal. A team of three Maverick Hunters, X, Zero and Shadow, are sent to the island to stop the Rebellion of reploids led by Epsilon.

 * Action Girl: Cinnamon and Marino.
 * Anime Theme Song: "Jounetsu Setsuna"
 * Boss Rush:
 * Bounty Hunter: Spider,.
 * Bridge Bunnies: As one early chapter proves, these are mandatory.

 * Curse Cut Short: "You sonnuva-" [Fight Woosh]
 * Death Dealer: Spider.
 * Everything's Squishier with Cephalopods: Mad Nautilus.

 * Laser Blade: Various bladed weapons called "Beam ".
 * The Mole: Shadow.
 * More Dakka: Ultimate Armor. The normally pacifist X packs a chest laser, machine guns on both hands, and a missile launcher strapped to his back, not to mention double the attack power.
 * Mythology Gag: The Absolute Zero armor looks suspiciously like Bass.
 * Overprotective Dad: Professor Gaudile to Cinnamon, initially.
 * Panthera Awesome: Wild Jango.
 * Sdrawkcab Name: the biggest clue to the Big Bad: . It was supposedly Lampshaded in the instruction booklet, which had the excuse of so that no one would make the connection until the Reveal.

 * Well-Intentioned Extremist: Epsilon.
 * What Happened to the Mouse?: A particular bad one. After you beat the Big Bad nothing about the other allies (Marino, Steel Massimo and Cinnamon) is neither told or known.
 * When Things Spin, Science Happens: At the top of Central Tower is the Resistance headquarters. In there is a great big computer, and you can notice a number of spinning things throughout the room that make it operate.

 * Year X: The game is set in the year 22XX.
 * Your Princess Is in Another Castle: Just when you thought defeating the Rebellion signals the end of the game,.
