Mega Man Zero 2

Mega Man Zero 2, known in Japan as (Rockman Zero 2|ロックマンゼロ２|Rokkuman Zero Tsū), is the second video game in the Mega Man Zero subseries of Mega Man video games from Capcom.

Modes
Just like in the first game, a "New Game Plus" can be played by beating the game and loading the completed save file. In the new game, Zero will start with all activated Cyber Elves used from the previous game still in effect (the penalties, however, will still remain). Zero will also get to keep any EX attacks and alternate forms that he earned in the previous game as well.

Additional modes can also be unlocked under proper conditions.

Hard Mode is unlocked by beating the game once. To play, hold L when selecting to start a New Game. In Hard Mode, Zero is in his "Proto Form", which doubles his attack strength but halves his defense. In addition, Zero's weapons cannot increase in strength. Also, Zero cannot earn any EX attacks or alternate forms.

Beating Hard Mode will unlock a special "Image Gallery" option. Hold L and Select when selecting New Game to enter it.

Unlike the other games in the series, there is no Ultimate Mode to be unlocked. However, an "Ultimate Form" can be unlocked by leveling and using every Cyber Elf in the game. It increases all of Zero's stats and also allows him to use full-charge attacks instantly by means of simplistic button combos.

Two Player Mode
If you have two cartridges and a link cable, you can link two GBAs and take part in a two player game. There are three modes available to take part in:


 * Time Attack - Set a goal somewhere in the stage. After three tries, the player with the shortest time to the goal wins.
 * Enemy Battle - Defeat the most enemies from the generator within the time limit.
 * Get Item- Collect the most items from the map within the time limit.

Story
One year has passed since Zero defeated Copy X. He has since spent his time wandering the desert defeating wave after wave of Pantheons. As the game opens, Zero wearily makes his way through a sandstorm wrapped in a tattered cloak. As the sands die down he realizes he is once more being chased by enemies. Despite being in disrepair, with cracked armor and broken weapons (his rod and shield were useless), his cloak is thrown to the winds and his Buster Shot is drawn in defense.

"This isn't fun anymore." he says, after dispatching the first of an endless wave of enemies.

Elsewhere, the three surviving members of the Four Guardians (Phantom self-destructed trying to stop Zero's assault on Area X) assumed command of Neo Arcadia, with Harpuia as the leader. Copy X's death was covered up, as the humans revered him as their saviour.
