This game was made strictly for the North American audience and without Hideo Kojima's awareness. It had nothing to do with the story of the previous game and is now considered non-canon.

Attachment In the games Soulblazer, ActRaiser 2, Illusion of Gaia and Robotrek, Quintet has included attacks based on the image of the Phoenix, or Firebird. In all the games the attacks are very powerful, and with the exception of ActRaiser 2 where the attack is available at the start, they are found very late in the game. In the cases of Soulblazer and Illusion of Gaia, both games having loose connections to each other, the ability is gained as part of the story and used to fight the final bosses.

Prime numbers had a significant role in the composition of N's battle theme. Though there is little evidence to suggest this in-game, N is actually a mathematical genius. It can also be said that he sees the world in a 'black and white' fashion, using formulas to make sense of it.
Composer and director Junichi Masuda frequently references this in N's battle theme with the use of prime numbers, and even more so with the addition of sounds like a clock ticking in N's final battle theme.

Using an Action Replay code, it's possible to actually walk around E. Gadd's lab. There are two doors, one of which says "Training" that most likely went to the Training room, and one that likely went to the Ghost Portrificationizer room. There is also a functional ladder, but it doesn't lead anywhere. This suggests that in an earlier version of the game the player could travel to E.Gadd's lab by means of a ladder somewhere in the mansion.

Attachment The original Red and Green Versions were supposed to have a female trainer along with the male trainers, Red and Blue. She was most likely removed due to hardware restrictions, but is still seen on the official strategy guide and artwork. The character was used as the character 'Green' in the comic and 'Leaf' in the remake, FireRed and LeafGreen.

Just as the main bosses of the game represent the Seven Deadly Sins, major locations of the game have a symbolic or ironic connection with the demon that is plaguing them.

Diligence and Industen (Industrious) were once the hardest of workers, but then became so weak that they even lost the will to live.

The queen of Devote, instead of devoting herself to others, was so incredibly jealous of all other beautiful things that she sank her kingdom under the sea.

Temponia and Modero (Temperance and Moderation) once had extravagant amounts of food, but then starved.

The former friendly nations of Favorian and Justania (Favor and Justice) were engaged in a bloody war brought on by the demon Fury. The demon filled the Justanian king's heart with wrath.

The king of Lovaous (Love) was plagued by the demon Deception in his dreams, which filled his mind with thoughts of lust.

The king of Stormrook, overcome by greed, takes all of his citizens' money and sends them to a prison called Gratis, which means "for free", a play on words both for greed and for a prison.

Humbleton (Humble), a highly civilized, technologically advanced nation with no faith in the master, enacted a plan to build a tower (Tower of Souls/Babel) to reach the heavens and become Masters themselves.

Since the games run on the same engine as the Ruby and Sapphire (and, by extension, Emerald) games, the same weather effects are also in the data for both versions. These include Cloudy, Rain, Snow, Thunderstorm, Sandstorm, Volcanic Ash, Mist and even a texture for Underwater. Except for the cloudy and Mist weather effects, all others are unused.

Throughout the game, the Master must fight six lesser demons to gain access to six greater demons under Tanzra's direct command, after all of which the Master must fight a machine constructed by the humans, and then Tanzra himself. The six pairs and the human machine all represent the Seven Sins, and Tanzra represents Satan, specifically as he is portrayed in Dante's Inferno.

-Gluttony is a crop-devouring ant demon.
-Envy is the vengeful wraith of a queen whose jealousy consumed her.
-Greed is a demon that transformed a once generous king into a golden, jewelry-clad dragon.
-Lust tainted a king with the image of a beautiful woman and then trapped his mind in its womb-like belly.
-Wrath is represented as a giant made of fire who must be battled inside an erupting volcano.
-Sloth is a giant snail whose tampering with the waters and rain have weakened the surrounding villages.
-Pride is the machine constructed by the humans as a false idol and a mockery of the Master.
-The final boss Tanzra is a representation of Satan in Dante's Inferno, a giant, three-headed beast trapped from the waist down in a frozen lake.

Toad Man's should be NO. 26 but it is labeled as NO. 29 which is Ring Man's number, Ring Man is labeled NO. 28 which is Pharaoh Man's number, and Pharaoh Man is labeled as NO. 26 which is Toad Man's number.

This was meant to be the last game in the Mega Man X series. As such, plot lines were being wrapped up (Spoiler: such as Zero dieing and Sigma being defeated for good) and prepared for the next series, Mega Man Zero. However, Capcom later decided to green-light Mega Man X6 against Keiji Inafune's wishes, meaning he had to change his plans for the series.
