Hyper Mode

Hyper Mode (ハイパーモード, Haipā Mōdo) is a command available in Mega Man X: Command Mission, allowing the playable character to transform for some turns to boost his / her abilities. The player can deactivate a Hyper Mode one turn after its activation with the Cooldown command to avoid using all of the character's remaining turns, which can only be restored by fully recovering (either in the recovery areas from Central Tower's Base Gateway and Far East HQ's Teleport Terminal, or when the character's level increases.) or with the rare item Gain Hyper. Each character has a different limit of turns, which can be increased with the scarce item Build Hyper.
