{{tropelist}}
* [[A Mech by Any Other Name]]: {{spoiler|In the 2023 hack, Ray Bit uses a Ride Armor in the second phase to kill Mega Man X}}
* [[Auto-Scrolling Level]]:
**In the second phase of Rush's fight, Mega Man is forced to chase after Rush in Rush Marine form.
Line 29:
* [[Light'Em Up|Light em' Up]]: Neon Tiger specializes in this. Somehow, he upgraded his arsenal to include powerful light spells {{spoiler|,even casting Luminaire after X defeats him}}.
*[[Moon Rabbit]]: {{spoiler|The second and final phases of the boss fight against the Maverick General-level Ray Bit takes place on the moon. The third phase even has Ray Bit try to pound X into the mochi.}}
*[[Mythology Gag]]:
*
**Blizzard Buffalo in the 2021 romhack uses attack patterns reminiscent of Mino Magnus from [[Mega Man Zero|Mega Man Zero 4]].
* [[Pull a Rabbit Out of My Hat]]: In an inversion of the usual trope, Ray Bit uses a Metool as a magic hat and summons foes during the first phase.
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: The bosses in Puresabe's New Year hacks use new tactics to defeat Mega Man and X. In the 2018 hack, Rush goes from a mere support unit to a fierce destructive robot under Dr. Wily's brainwashing. In the 2020 hack, a Ratton mook becomes extremely deadly in a three-phase fight. In the 2021 and 2022 Hacks, Blizzard Buffalo and Neon Tiger become much more difficult in comparison to their original battles, which had exploits X could use to beat them in a flash.▼
* [[Sequential Boss]]
** When Sheep Man loses half of his health, he and Mega Man plummet into another section of Gravity Man's stage.
Line 37 ⟶ 38:
** In the 2018 hack, Mega Man has to fight Rush in his Rush Coil form, his Rush Marine form, and his Rush Jet form. Wily shows up again and changes Rush into a {{spoiler|Friender recolor.}}
** In the 2020 hack, Mega Man has to fight a Ratton in a sewer. The first phase is straight-forward. In this phase, Ratton can summon Mousubeils for assistance, electrocute Mega Man, and use himself as a wrecking-ball. The second phase is easy. The third phase is where things get serious. Ratton splits itself into multiple copies as Mega Man damages the rat robot.
** The 2022 hack has {{spoiler|Ray Bit drag Mega Man X off to the moon for the second and last phases of the fight. The second phase takes place on the outskirts of a mochi factory. The last phase has Ray Bit try to crush Mega Man X with industrial-grade Mochi crushers.}}
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Both Ratton and Spark Mandrill specialize in electric attacks. Ratton can use its electricity to shock the sewer water.
* [[
** In the 2022 Hack, Neon Tiger uses attacks from [[Chrono Trigger]].
** {{spoiler|The transition to the second phase in the Ray Bit fight is based off the transition to the Nightmare Wizard phase of the final fight in [[Kirby's Adventure]]. The final phase of the Ray Bit fight has Ray Bit take cues from Dr. Robotnik's final boss fight in [[Sonic the Hedgehog 1]].}}
