Glide Armor

The Glide Armor is found in Mega Man X7. It is different from the armors in Mega Man X5 and Mega Man X6 in that it can be collected one piece at a time, slowly getting stronger with every part, in contrast to X5 and X6 in which all parts of the armors must be collected to be functional. It is a fairly all-around armor, as it is the only armor in the game.

Helmet Part, in Snipe Anteator's stage: In the second half of the stage, look for the capsule on a disconnected orange hexagon. You must flip gravity several times to reach the Helmet Capsule.
 * Energy pellets are worth more energy and are attracted to X from a greater distance.

Body Part, in Wind Crowrang's stage: In the mothership, look for a path that splits into three paths. Take the left one to find the Body Capsule.
 * Halves the damage X takes, and supplies him with the full-screen Giga Crash attack.

Arm Part, in Flame Hyenard's stage: In the first section of the stage, after the second snake enemy, drop down underneath the ledge. You'll find a 1-Up and a Capsule.
 * Allows X to charge special weapons and charge his buster to a fourth level

Leg Part, in Soldier Stonekong's stage: Past the area with the spikes, look for two ape-head statues stacked on top of each other. Make sure they are not destroyed, climb on top of them, and jump-dash to the left to find the Leg Capsule.
 * Allows X to use the Glide Dash. Activated by jumping in the air, X will fly while losing altitude slowly. It is similar to the Falcon Armor's flying function.
