Mega Man X8 retains the 3D graphics style present in Mega Man X7, but reverts the gameplay style to be purely 2D, similar to previous Mega Man X games before X7 (with Dynasty and Central White being the only exceptions, being on-rails vehicle stages played fully in 3D). As with the traditional Mega Man gameplay loop, after an introductory stage, Mega Man X8 presents the player with a choice of eight stages, with a Maverick robot serving as the stage boss. After defeating the eight Mavericks, a series of fortress stages open up for the player to complete in linear progression until the player faced the final boss.
