 Zero Soul reprises his original role as the end boss of the Arena, but has a recoloured sprite and new attack pattern. Unlike his original fight, Zero Soul uses original attacks alongside those based on entries. He also attacks in a set sequence, rather than choosing attacks at random.
-In his first phase, he uses the following attacks in descending order, repeating if necessary:
+In his first phase, he begins with these attacks:
 * Teleporting multiple times, before appearing at the top of the screen and summoning three waves of black holes; from which non-lethal [[Quick Laser]]s shoot downwards. Zero Soul will only use this attack once. ([[The Quickening]])
 * Teleporting close to Mega Man, then flying towards him while using the Z-Saber. He will repeat this four times.
 * Teleporting above Mega Man and following him, shrinking in size and releasing four spinning cutters while expanding. He will repeat this three times.
 * Teleporting to the centre of the screen and transforming into a blob of paint. This blob then splits apart before multiple large paintdrops rain down from the top of the screen.
 * Repeating the earlier Z-Saber dash attack, again doing so four times.
-* Transforming into a small fireball and flying offscreen, causing seven giant fireballs to slowly fall from the top of the screen, each one appearing directly above Mega Man.
+* Transforming into a small fireball and flying offscreen, causing seven giant fireballs to slowly fall from the top of the screen, each one appearing directly above Mega Man. He will reappear at the same spot afterwards.

-* Performing the first phase's quad-cutter attack four times.
+* Performing the first phase's quad-cutter attack three times.

-'''Zero''' is a joke character that first appeared in ''[[Make a Good Mega Man Level]]''. Created at the expense of the [http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Zero actual Zero], his existence pokes fun at the tendency for fan-games to include the real Zero as some form of ultimate threat, with one of the more infamous examples being ''Mega Man Unlimited''. Originally a hastily built decoy robot, built only to slow [[Mega Man]]'s escape from [[Wily Castle]], Zero reappears in ''[[Make a Good Mega Man Level 2]]'' as a major character, wearing a red cloak to conceal his identity. After gaining sentience and becoming angry at [[Doctor Albert W. Wily|Dr. Wily]] for using and discarding him, Zero helps [[Mega Man]] out throughout the game, revealing his true identity once Wily has been stopped and Mega Man has collected all the [[Energy Element]]s possible at that point. He built his [[Null and Void (MaGMML2)|own fortress]], which serves as one of the final challenges in the game.

 Zero appears at the end of [[Flashback Database]] following [[Wily Machine TROPHY]]'s defeat, serving as the final boss. When the battle begins, a silhouette of the real Zero drops down and gradually grows darker as Dr. Wily backs away, before revealing itself to be the MaGMML version of Zero.

 After being defeated, Zero drops the final Energy Element, and the castle begins to self destruct. Mega Man realizes that Zero was merely a decoy robot, and teleports away from the castle as usual.

 Zero (as the Cloaked Man) first appears after obtaining at least 10 [[Energy Element]]s. He leaves a note for Mega Man to meet him at [[Chateau Chevaleresque]]. When [[Mega Man]] meets up with him, he discusses the power of the [[simulation]]s and asserts that he is not plotting anything, but people like [[Doctor Albert W. Wily|Dr. Wily]] could. He dodges the questions about his identity. When his spiel is over, he gives out an E-Tank and leaves. He appears again after getting 38 Energy Elements, repeating his thoughts about the simulations and how they could be used for evil. His last appearance before the [[Wily Star II]] appears is after getting at least 52 Energy Elements. He continues delivering a soliloquy on the power of the simulations while Mega Man gets audibly frustrated at him.

 Collecting his last Energy Element also unlocks him as a costume. True to the original Zero, the costume only ever uses one frame of animation. He can also use the [[Alternate Weapons|Contest Weapon Data]].

+===''Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero''===
 In his most significant role to date, ''Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero'' features him as the protagonist and only playable character. Now sporting an actual spritesheet, Zero has a different playstyle from Mega Man, and moves very similarly to his main timeline counterpart in the ''Mega Man X'' and ''Mega Man Zero'' series with a dash/airdash ability. Players also have the option to start the game with a costume that gives Zero his traditional ''Mega Man X'' appearance; this costume, as well as one of his "Cloaked Figure" disguise in ''MaGMML2'', can also be bought from [[Dr. Wily's Secret Bunker]].

 ==Trivia==
 * The majority of Zero's sprites are traced from the appearance of the real Zero in ''Mega Man Xtreme 2''.
-* In the intro of ''Episode Zero'', Dr. Wily mentioned that Zero's core systems "broke down a few plans ago", likely a reference to the Z-Prototype from ''Mega Man Unlimited'', which broke down at the end of its battle. At the start of the game, Zero was shown emerging from a capsule similar to Z-Prototype's capsule from ''Unlimited''.
+* Zero's backstory as a failed prototype is heavily inspired by the Z-Prototype from ''Mega Man Unlimited''; the opening of ''MaGMML: Episode Zero'' even depicts him emerging from a capsule similar to that of the Z-Prototype's from ''Unlimited''.
 * Zero Soul is a reference to the ''Kirby'' games' trend of including harder "Soul" versions of final bosses at the end of True Arenas. In addition to using the final music from ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''{{1}}/''Kirby Star Allies''{{1R}}, ''Remastered'' gives Zero Soul numerous shout-outs to Marx Soul, with shared attacks and an identical death sequence (complete with ear-piercing scream).
 * A bug in the original ''Make a Good Mega Man Level'' with Zero Soul's Destroyable Block attack can cause him to clip offscreen if he's caught on a block. This is referenced in ''Remastered'', where he is intentionally pushed offscreen by such a block when using the attack.

 After the Wily Star II appears and [[Doctor Thomas Light|Dr. Light]] tells Mega Man that using [[Rush]] is not an option due to its force field, Zero appears once again, offering his advice. After Mega Man gets frustrated with him, Zero explains that the Energy Elements can cause volatile reactions when there are a lot in one place (hinting at the opening of [[Tier X (MaGMML2)|Tier X]]), and that they could possibly use the power to get a spaceship that could sneak by Wily's forcefield undetected. Mega Man decides to roll with it, and it actually works. Zero then wishes Mega Man good luck, and is not seen again until Wily is defeated. After the credits roll, he appears outside of [[Dr. Light's Lab]] and challenges Mega Man to get all the Energy Elements.
