Maverick Parts
After defeating mavericks with a level of at least 8, Alia will ask if you want Life+ or Weapon Energy+. That + is a part that can be equipped, and the part you get depends both on the Maverick defeated, and the Life/Energy choice.
Many of these are currently documented at the Mega Man Home Page - https://mmhp.net/GameHints/MMX5.html#Items
All Stages route Parts
- Bat - none in SA, life otherwise
- Mattrex - Life
- Grizzly - Energy (Hyper Dash)
- Whale - Life
- Axle Rose - Energy (Z-Saber+)
- Izzy Firefly - Life (for HP. Energy gives shot eraser for Zero)
- Squid - Energy (Saber Extend)
- Pegasus - Life
- this part will never be built if you do it next to last, but this creates the Jumper part
What controls a Maverick's Level?
- Rank (GA)
- Hours left until impact
- Does not affect Level after the colony is destroyed (such as by using The Manip)
The route depends on hours passing to allow mavericks to gain levels. Do not fire the enigma cannon until after fighting Grizzly for the Hyper Dasher.
