Mega Man X - Chill Penguin's Stage
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- You know how I was griping at the X series format hurting non-linearity? Well, the fact that basically everyone who has played this game ever will have already known exactly where I was off to after the intro stage is a pretty good strong indication for WHY I feel this series is a fair bit more linear.
Chill Penguin's stage here is not only pitifully easy, it also forces you to get your first major power-up of the game, which is actually needed to get any of the other ones, thus meaning you need to come here first. Heck, one of the bosses in the game is even designed to be threatening ONLY if you do not have this power-up, as his attacks accomplish nothing otherwise. This power-up is, of course, the dash boots, giving that substantial speed increase that I find as being rather iconic for this series.
That aside, needless to say this stage only took one take after some practice, cause really now, this stage is just sad. The boss does not fair any better with his really pitiful attacks... the next stage to go to is not much better. Well, I can at least say the stage after THAT is a bit more exciting!
Enjoy!~

I know everyone praises this ost to no end, but this really is the game that made me realize I like video game music. Every track is a banger. Every single one, like whoever composed this just couldn’t let a single song be anything less than pure energetic bliss.
Ah, Chill Penguin...back when I was fairly new to gaming, I was so thrilled at my ability to flawlessly dodge all his attacks, that I actually wrote down my strategies in the back of the instruction book.
Dude... I had trouble with this boss, and it's the easiest one in the game... but, the good news is, I FINALLY BEAT IT!
Then again, I have never played any mega man game before, mega man x is the first mega man game I have ever played
Wow just wow
@@izzypleb6306 I tried them recently but though I did beat the Robot Masters of 2 and two of them in 3 (making use of Rewind function on Switch), they're way too hard so I was recommended X series, which is noticeably easier but still I can't beat him and I know he's supposed to be super-easy.
You're not the only one. This was also my first Mega Man game. After many tries, I left and went to Storm Eagle's stage with the leg piece, beat him, and came back later and beat Chill Penguin with Fire Wave. That's the next best strategy if you lose to Chill Penguin. Storm Eagle which is easy with the leg power up, Flame Mammoth, Chill Penguin...
Nice, this game was my childhood.
I beat the game recently.
You know, the whole "double damage from an uncharged shot while dashing" thing actually makes a little sense, since the shot has more momentum behind it.
Very interesting point 🙂👍
Oh wow!That is a nice hook
Jorge Aviles I know, right!?
Now kick off those dash boots, I got Hoodie Cobra and Bong Raccoon coming over later. We're gonna watch Big Lebowski on my dad's flat screen
Man I love that hook! So chill.
X:Wow! Ice Penguin! This is so noisy!
Chill Penguin:I am Chill Penguin!
X:So Frozted, Man! You gonna kidding me!
Chill Penguin:What did you say?....Bitch more.

MAVERICK DATA
Subject: Chill Penguin
Title: Lord of the Snowy Plains
Occupation Prior to Going Maverick: Lieutenant Colonel of the Maverick Hunters' 13th Polar Battalion Unit
Bio: Chill Penguin was originally assigned to a base in Antarctica, a assignment he finds boring. He was all too eager to join Sigma's newly formed 17th Elite Unit. He was also eager to join Sigma's rebellion, thinking it's more profitable. After joining Sigma, Penguin was then assign to a abandoned missile base in the snowy mountain overlooking Abel City. Most likely he is planning to trigger an avalanche by detonating all the missiles stored there. During battle, Penguin uses his icy breath to create decoys to draw enemy fire while he launches sneak attacks with Shotgun Ice.
EASY!?!?!?!?! YOU SAY THIS IS EASY!?!?!?!? THIS LEVEL TOOK ME 100+ TIMES TO BEAT!!!!!!!!
Well for me its hard
I have never completed any megaman game
tbh, its easy
both in xtreme and x
I beat it on my first try. Seriously.
I must suck at Megaman Games i just played this level last night and it was not easy at all lol
Well this game is supposed to last long, which is why its so hard, so you practice more
True
Especially when you play it using emulator......
Could be lag if playing on an emulator or on HDTV
Same. I got to him today but I can't even beat him, as I can't tell what attack he's going to use and react fast enough to dodge them. (Plus by the time I reach him my health is depleted from those snowballs, so with two lives I only have one shot at fighting him with full health before game over) I know he's supposed to be super easy so it's probably not the game, it's me, I suck donkey-rooster at 2D shooter games. And 3D shooter games, except Remnant, Tomb Raider Legend, and Tomb Raider Anniversary.
If I do get past him... how do I know which stage is what? Unlike in X2, they're not named when you put the select bar over them, only when you actually select and go there. I only picked out Chill Penguin (widely recommended first stage) because he's the only one who looks like a penguin.
@@Tailbiter231 if you select one of the corners from the select stage it will tell you the name of the boss
Am I the only one who is struggling in this game? Can't beat one boss.
gamegeekx Storm eagle was a bit difficult for me at first but once I got the dash & understood his pattern it was easy.
Same here bro the bosses are hard asf!
I can't get down the armor :´(
This guy beats this boss in one go... I’ve played it now ten times and died every time.
@@MotoJoee I beat the penguin once. But mainly because his attack repeated in a way that was easy. The reason this video makes it look easy is one, I think they have auto fire and also everything seems to die easier in this video, you just shoot and blows up.
The dashing and firing to inflict double damage was a programming error in the first game; but in the X games to follow, it was programmed intentionally. Just a fun little fact!
Dude... just listen to yourself! You're just perpetuating a cycle of robot-on-robot violence!
Duuude. Chillllll.....
Anyone else ever realize Penguin is in x4 in the Frost Walrus stage? Right when you fight the claw thing, he's frozen in the back
I had no idea about the dash-shooting glitch, I'll have to try that sometime.
@maximoluver Yeah, I had not done any recording in quite awhile, so I guess I did not get the settings quite right. Probably got messed up as I think the volume settings I use are different between my weekly broadcast and game recordings.
An interesting point you left out about Chill Penguin is how if he takes damage in midair, he immediately drops back down. It's a bit of a knockback effect on him and stops his wind ability.
After a decade later still watching your amazing Mega Man content. THANK YOU KITTY!!!!
@Dekaar Needless to say I am going to be abusing this damage boost quite often throughout this run... XD There were several bosses I ended up fighting with the buster, so it really helps speed up all of these fights. Helps clear out generic enemies a bit faster, too.
This was the first time i played a mega man game and it was amazing. My grandpa has a snes emulator. Unlike any other game i played, this actually required me to use my head and memorize the bosses patterns and get my timing just right. Really challenging but rewarding. I made it to the very final boss when sigmas head is in that lion machine but couldnt finish because i had to come back home. When i first tried this game, every boss destroyed me right away and i thought it would be impossible
thats insane tech for a grandpa to have loo
@OmegaWeaponX25 My main gripe is the game is a helluva lot less fun without this particular power-up, and you have to do a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of back-tracking if you want to collect everything if you put off the dash-boots since so many things require them. For those who want to 100% the game with any sort of efficiency whatsoever, this stage is a forced first... XD
You're going to have to return to this stage to get the heart tank if you're gonna collect all the stuff as per usual.
@Voyd211 There is a problem with doing that though. The Storm Tornado might not damage you, neither does him flapping his wings to blow you back but if he does it constantly, 2-3 times in a row, without dashing you WILL get blown off the edge.
I'M A BIG BOIIIII!!!!
So I'm not the only one that selects the stages to the theme. Good to know.
@TheJeppesk It means I got caught for not proof-reading again. XD (I am surprised there are so few typos considering this fact.) AH WELL! Now if only it was not the very first freaking text-box... XD
You must've had a lot of practice here PinkKittyRose
you can't expect me to believe that you can do all stages perfectly in one try. there must some outtakes that happen now and again. you know like taking damage or dying in the stages. be sure to insert any blooper reels at the end of video or after the series
In Maverick hunter X the boots are now in Flame Mammoth's stage
How do I get off of the machine in chill penguins stage?
In term of difficulty, where would you put Chill Penguin ? Certainly higher than Toadman, I suppose =P
I don't really think of Chill Penguin's stage as a traditional "first stage".
Yeah sure, it has an important powerup and it relatively easy, but it just doesn't really _feel_ like a first stage to me.
It's very rare that a platformer starts out with a winter stage like this, it's typically a more traditional snow-free area with relatively upbeat music.
One example of a traditional "first stage" to me would be Cut Man in "Mega Man 1", or Skull Man in "Mega Man 4".
@Dekaar Nah, I recall in my practice runs that he was only taking 1 damage from uncharged, non-dash boosted shots. Heck, it may be that EVERY boss in the first 3 X games (maybe more) only take 1 from uncharged shots.
Glad to see I’m not the only one who clicks the bosses to the beat of the title music
Is it just me because this is harder on the snes rather than the collection version?
@BradX8 Perhaps, but the armor just isn't that vital early on. Besides, what does she even need the armor for at all if she's doing a no damage run? :P
The way you shot your buster @0:48 was actually going with the song that was fire 🔥 lol
You should see the remake of this game, Maverick Hunter X. The dash ability is optional and in Flame Mammoth's stage. To me, it's a fair trade-off since I usually find Mammoth pitifully easy.
Somehow I doubt X would ever be able to keep up a peaceful life, Dr. Light.
You know, waking up in the morning, fixing himself a bowl of cereal, accidentally blasting a hole in the wall...
Yeah no.
I never knew the dash boots had that effect...learn something everyday.
guys...
what is chill penguin based on?
He's a penguin an animal that lives in cold areas such as South Pole? I don't know but penguins along with some others birds can't fly
As far as I know it is that chill penguin always gets at least 2 points of damage from normal buster shots regardless if you charge or not
@IBelisariusLP Did not keep count, but Chill Penguin's the only stage that went super smooth... XD I got too reckless in Storm Eagle by trying to rush... Stages after obtaining Chameleon Sting went pretty smooth, minus the final boss. Gods that boss is a pain to do no damage... XD Tempting as it was to just use the Hadoken, I made sure to resist.
And yeah, outtakes also eat up my harddrive space, which my ancient machine has very little of... XD
@FrenchyStarFox Yes... but BARELY... and every bit of difficulty Chill Penguin makes up for as a boss, Toad Man's stage blows out of the water. XD
@3:15 Uh Pink, I don't think that's a glitch when you dash and shoot at an enemy the damage increases. I think it was programmed like that.
Wish they could of hid the leg armor and make you search for it preferably inside one of those big holes at the end of the stage.
@PinkKittyRose Every boss in every game in the X Series takes 1 damage from uncharged buster shots. In fact, they even take the same amount of damage from charge shots -- the differences start coming in X5 and 6 where bosses have different size lifebars. Not to mention the boss health increases overall by a great deal past X4 (as well as the power of charge shots).
@OmegaWeaponX25 You're trying to say "Flame Mammoth stage with instant death lava" is easier than "Flame Mammoth stage with no danger whatsoever"?
With all due respect, playing this as a 6 year old in 1995 is a completely different story in terms of difficulty. This game was a challenge when it came out.
So when's Hoodie Cobra and Bong Raccoon coming over?
4:02 I’m a MEGA MAN
Shotgun Ice has the bonus of reflecting in 5 different directions when it hits a wall. However I still didn't find it that useful in the game until a ceartin point.
Audio on these videos is lower than normal?
One thing i noticed...
If you played Spongbob and the Magic Pencil, some sounds/themes will get familiar
Am i stupid? how is this the obviously intended first stage?
Because of the dash. It’s vital
What version rom you use? I use 1.1 version rom.
Does anyone else have a hard time exiting the game/stage on the ps2 version? Not sure if its my controller.
Wishing I had the Internet when I used to play this so I could upload a RUclips vid to get 10 Million Views views
Love that hook. So chill.
This is one of my favorite games ever! I've had it on SNES forever, longer than I've been alive. lol I know this game inside and out . :P And have quite fond memories
Does anyone know how to get out of the ride armor?
I cannot make that jump at 1:03 no matter how hard I try..
THIS LEVEL IS NOT EASY I'M USING A SNES EMULATOR TO PLAY IT. I'M ON MY 67 TRY IT IS NOT EASY
Use save states
mate, youre on an emulator. use the save states
tbh it depends if he/she is using a phine then it's a nightmare lol
i once finished mmx on a phone
and it was easy
What happened to the difficulty analysis thing? Not doing that no more?
No DAMAGE?! This woman is fucking BEAST at video games! :D
3godzilla3 or she did a TAS
I just learned that you can go back and play the stage again😐😂😂😂
WHY IS THSI STAGE SO HARD
...it’s easy
Chill penguin: oh you wanna borrow my shotgun ice totally go nut man
Megaman: ok.😐
I can't believe you're playing Mega Man X, this is my favorite Mega Man game *__*
too bad you dont continue to X4. That game has a stage where you basicall carry a ride armor over to a boss fight
I think pinkkittyrose is cute, but incredibly smart at the same time.
She (or maybe he, you never know) is at least very good in Mega Man.
Well, she never shows her face, sooo...
Just wondering, what does bltantly mean? x) Enjoying these a lot!
I'm really bad at this game. Whenever I try to beat chill penguin I always die. The double damage pellet thing doesn't work. The same with all the other bosses.
Shotgun Ice isn’t useless at all, you can cheese the entire Spark Mandrill fight and Sigma’s dog with it.
I used to play games to perfection. Replaying them to the point that I was doing no damage speed runs. Haha. I had less games but more fun playing them. This was one of those. I cant remember if I was playing it on GBC or my Nintendo DS.
How is it “ blatantly obvious “ chill penguin is the intended first stage? How on earth would a new / rookie player now?
Pink are you sure that its a glitch and not chill penguin being weak to the buster?
I never start with Chill Penguin. I start with Storm Eagle. He's easy enough, and I deal with the lack of dashing for two stages.
What emulator are you using?
It's me chill penguin
So you've come...X, everybody knows girls born after 1993 can't cook. All they know is charge they phone, eat mcdonalds, twerk, be bisexual, eat hot chip and lie.
The reason why this isn't my favorite Megaman X game is because of the fact that it forces you to start at the wintery stage. That to me is a troll. Come to think of it, several Megaman games did something very similar.
@BradX8 Yea, but sting chameleon is easier when you have Boomerang Kuwanger's ability. The armor isn't vital (cept perhaps after you get to sigma's fortress)
Great video! This is like blowing on Nintendo cartridges, everyone knew to come to Chill Penguin first:)
I got your letter Hannah may. Dad loves you too!
@PinkKittyRose just tested it myself... seriously that's strange.. only 1 damage. Well that only shows that the dash actually is way to reliant in the series. I could've sworn that he took always 2 dmg... but wow Means that I never hit him without the dash before the shot cO
Lol I always do armoured armadillo first. Also I don't know if this is you playing but if so; you beasted this stage.-2019
I'm horrible at no damage runs, but I could manage to finish Chill Penguin without taking damage, same with the intro stage, minus the boss. If it weren't for the new picket men in Flame Mammoth's stage I'd be able to do a no damage run there too.
@PinkKittyRose At least you can quit levels halfway through without having to find/buy anything like in Mega Man 7. I found the levels quite enjoyable so I quite enjoyed playing through the levels twice in MMX, and later on, Maverick Hunter X.
why no checkpoint this stage
When I had the Xtreme port of the game on GB, I always faced chill penguin first
I never quite understood the point of the X or zero series, to be honest.
3:20 I think is intentional and present in the rest of the series
Pink I'm not gonna lie I got a game over on chill penguin that was 1st time playing the game
@PinkKittyRose Haha, yeah that's what I noticed x) Needless to say, I'm very impressed. Even though Chill Penguin's stage isn't very difficult, it has it's moments which really threw me off back when I tried playing this game Roahm-style. Ah well, I'm looking forward to this. Especially those 3 bosses.... Looking at you, Sting Chameleon, Spark Mandrill and Launch Octopus.
@PinkKittyRose Uh... it's not mandatory. At all.
Only if you want to collect every little thing.
You can beat the game without that heart tank.
I'm a bit of a rebel then, Pink. I usually start with Storm Eagle. I don't think he's THAT hard without the dash power-up, and I love getting his Storm Tornado right off the bat. From there I just follow their weaknesses; Flame, Chill, Spark, Armor, Launch, Boomer, Sting.
The same can't be said for the PSP remake though; Storm is much harder without dash thanks to the feather arrows he shoots while he's blowing you back; if you get hit by one, you're pretty much screwed.
It must be my game because my buster does not charge as fast
Chill Penguin's only the first choice cause of that damn Leg Part. Everyone spams Storm Eagle afterwards because it's STORM EAGLE, JOHNNY!!
Once I did Chill Penguin last
damn it when are you gunna do live commentary?
Soooo... i can't get of the armor :/
The ride armor? Press Up + Jump at the same time
