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.

Functions

 * Head Part: X is able to absorb energy capsules from a farther distance, and energy pellets are worth more energy and are attracted to X from a greater distance.
 * Body Part: Halves the damage X takes, and supplies him with the full-screen Giga Crash attack. X is no longer being knocked down by some attacks.
 * Arm Parts: Allows X to charge special weapons and enhance his charged shot by adding three homing bullets after it. If the bullets don't hit the target along with the charged buster, they will home in another nearby enemy. Each bullet deals damage equal to a normal shot.
 * Foot Parts: Allows X to use the Glide Dash. Activated by jumping in the air, X will fly while losing altitude slowly. If X attacks during this state, he will drop down.

Locations

 * Head Part: In Snipe Anteator's stage. In the second half of the stage, look for the capsule on a disconnected orange hexagon. Gravity must be flipped several times to reach the Helmet Capsule.
 * Body Part: In Wind Crowrang's stage. In the mother ship, look for a path that splits into three paths. Take the left one to find the Body Capsule.
 * Arm Part: In Flame Hyenard's stage. In the first section of the stage, after the second snake enemy, drop down underneath the ledge. There will be a 1-Up and the Capsule.
 * 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.
