Hyper Special Armor

The Hyper Special Armor is a secret upgraded version of the Third Armor for X. It only appears once in Mega Man X3.

Function
Assuming X did not get any of the four upgrading chips in any of the boss stages and collected all of the other items, he can gain all of them in Doppler Stage A with the Third Armor turning into gold, nearly indestructible. This armor also causes X's energy to regenerate more quickly and the Hyper Charge to use up less energy. However, it is not saved in passwords, so it must be re-obtained whenever the console is turned off. As the upgraded version of the same Third Armor, this armor has all abilities of the original one along with all four chips.
