White Axl

"White Axl", ??? in-game, is a special unnamed upgrade for Axl in Mega Man X8 that enhances his abilities. With the white armor, Axl can hover infinitely while firing, his ground dash is longer and faster, and he can remain transformed for an unlimited amount time.

Unlocking
This armor can be unlocked one of two ways:
 * Purchase all of Axl's upgrades, have him defeat Lumine's final form with a Double Attack, and then start a New Game Plus.


 * Input x3,  x3,  x3, and  at the tile screen while "Press Start" is flashing. If inputted correctly, Axl's voice can be heard saying "I'll take care of it", confirming the code. You must then choose either Normal or Hard mode.

Trivia

 * Given Axl's look with the white armor and his ending in Mega Man X8, it is speculated that the shard of Lumine that was implanted into Axl's helmet through his broken crystal lens is the cause of this armor, which colors are similar to Lumine. However, this has not been confirmed, and the shard has not been expanded on, as it is not seen later during the events of Mega Man X: Command Mission, though this is probably because Mega Man X: Command Mission was released before Mega Man X8.
