Entrance to Tier X is the first level of Chapter 3 in Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero. Continuing directly on from S.R.A.R.A. HQ, Zero arrives in Tier X alongside Duo, in search of the missing SRARA. Unlike its later state in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, the dimension is completely devoid of colour and filled with somewhat bizarre enemies, such as Fukuhorn and Ace Manbow.

Strategy

Entrance to Tier X is light on gimmicks and enemies, with Zero only having to contend with Damage Sparks and Yoku Blocks in terms of the former. With most of the level occurring over bottomless pits, enemies like Space Metall and Ace Manbow will attempt to knock him into a pit in midair. When dealing with Yoku Blocks, he can potentially skip most of them if the Double Jump upgrade has been purchased from Reggae in Dr. Wily's Secret Bunker. The upgrade is also useful in bypassing harmful or risky areas by simply taking a higher path, or to access areas normally unreachable with one jump (typically holding items like Bolts). At various points in the stage, however, Damage Spikes are present alongside Yoku Blocks and ladders, forcing Zero to move carefully lest he fall into a screen below, or into a pit.

Z-Phone Dialogue

	Contact	Transcript
	Dr. Wily	Dr. Wily: Entrance to Tier X? Tier... X? What? Those things are numbered, not... lettered! What are you even up to? Zero: I did not come up with the name. Dr. Wily: Well, tell whoever did that they're being idiotic! I already don't understand the order the numbers go in. Don't need to add LETTERS.
	Agent Krantz	Krantz: Zero, what happened??? Zero: SRARA opened up a portal using the power of the Energy Elements. It leads to... this vague void of space. Krantz: I'm getting radio frequencies going in and out of focus. This might mean electric bursts are travelling back and forth nearby. That, or the level around you might change at different intervals. Or... both. That entire place is foreign to me. Just stay on guard.
	Yamato Man	SRARA Met? Do you think this guy's full name is Metall or Metooll? Might be Mettaur too... Erm. I'm getting sidetracked. The key to this fight lies in not getting cornered. That attack where they create a wall of orbs that either move forward or bounce is purely reactionary, so the more distance you have between it and you, the easier it is to dodge. Also, there's a blindspot right in front of them during the attack where they fire a barrage of zig-zagging shots, so get right in front of them when they hide under that helmet to charge it, and you can lay into them with your Z-Saber!
	Knives	Knives: Aw, come ooonn... You can do better than that! There's nothing even there all the way out there! How are we supposed to go on a proper date in a totally empty VOID? Yeah, there's no one there, but there's also nothing to DO! Zero: I thought you wanted somewhere interesting. Knives: Nothing isn't interesting, Zero!! Wait, hold on. What does that mean? Is nothing interesting?? Or uninteresting?? Is everything uninteresting?? I'm confused!!

Trivia

• Upon entering Entrance to Tier X for the first time, Zero can find an M-Tank to the left of the starting area. On all subsequent playthroughs, this M-Tank is completely absent, making it permanently missable.
• After unlocking Null and Void, holding the shoot button while starting Entrance to Tier X will cause the stage's tiles to use the rainbow colours used in Tier X's MaGMML2 incarnation.
