This will give you all armor, heart, and subtanks. No ride armors. Now enter the stage Toxic seahorse(top right of menu) and continue until you fight bit. Use only the buster shot. To beat him jump when he does to get him to attack while hes in the air. This way he will fly over you and give a clean shot each time. Dont worry too much about his projectiles. You can just get hit by them and still be victorious.

This is best done by not unlocking any of the Ride Armors until AFTER Bit and Byte are both defeated. After defeating your first two Mavericks, Bit and Byte will show up in the sub boss rooms in each stage.
Keep playing the game until you encounter Bit on the 3rd Maverick stage. Make sure all your sub tanks are charged, if you have them. Also, use Zero to reach the room where Bit will be to avoid taking any damage and fight him with X fresh.
When you reach him, beat him with just the X-Buster. Try to have charged sub tanks ready, as he can be difficult. He will dash attack at you from one side to the other, tracking your position and dashing at you in that axis. He will also launch a ring that can trap you and a ball attack that tracks you.
The best method to beat him is to stay in the corner, charge the X-Buster and wait for him to charge you. Fire, wall jump and air dash over him to the next corner and repeat. You have to be fast and it’s not perfect, but he can get into mini loops where he repeats this many times before firing one of his projectiles at you.
Because he’s fought so early on, use the Password Generator if you need a shortcut.
