1. Jump up Fight the Grizzly using Zero if you want to get a Part now.

2. Jump up In this specific case, the "Energy+" part is more useful to X.

3. Jump up Very hard to get; better come back later.

4. Jump up The Gaea Armor allows to get the Heart, but not the EX-Tank. If you want to get
both items in one visit, you can use Falcon Armor and Speedster Part.

An example of suggested order playing with Zero alone is shown here (remember that three
Energy parts are exclusive to Zero). In the table below, the stages are optimized to obtain as many
