Mega Man X Command Mission/YMMV

"Zero: Who the heck is this?!"
 * Big Lipped Alligator Moment: Hippopressor. It's a giant multicolored hippopotamus that bursts through a wall apropos of nothing at the end of the intro stage. Unlike most animal Mavericks, it does not speak and so cannot offer any explanation for its presence, and it is never spoken of again after the boss fight. Zero sums it up best:


 * Epileptic Trees: Speculation on to whether Redips was always Spider, or if Redips killed the real Spider and replaced him at one point. There is in-game support for both arguments.
 * Game Breaker:
 * Axl's Stealth Mode makes the entire party all but invincible, if you use it right.
 * Spider's Action Trigger, if one has patience.
 * Narm: X's infamous "You...you...you MAVERICK!"
 * Straw Man Has a Point: The game is increasingly full of this trope by the chapter. There's a hint in chapter 1 with the Rebellion's commander Epsilon talking about their "vision" and "goals" about five times in the cutscene encounter. But it really starts kicking up by the minute from chapter 4. You're supposed to go into a scientific laboratory surrounded by lush vegetation which seems, again, to have mechnical circuits running through it (Sky Room info later confirms that this is indeed mecha-nature rather than the real deal), in order to save a genius professor and his creation, the Force Metal Generator. Turns out, said professor is a reploid platypus, the Generator is the core component of his assistant child reploid nurse, and the Rebellion Army member sent to capture him is a crazy comical version of Number Man who used to be his partner and keeps saying the Rebellion leader Epsilon is trying to advance Reploid technology. Shadow, the former Maverick Hunter who defected for power, is met in chapter 6 and calls them "government lackeys", asking how dare they refer to Epsilon as a Maverick. The next (final) four chapters reveal that the Cadre's plan hasn't been to rule, but to evolve Reploids (albeit forcibly and with potential for unrestrained chaos); that most of them believe that what they're doing is for a good cause); and that the true evil mastermind is the Hunters' own boss, who manipulated events by branding the Rebellion Maverick and masquerading as a bounty hunter under a Sdrawkcab Name in order to fish them out, let X dispose of them, and leave their work ripe for his picking.
