Planetarium Stage

"Escape the space trap!"

- Stage tagline

Planetarium Stage (プラネタリウムステージ) is Dark Necrobat's stage in Mega Man X5. It is a planetarium and space laboratory located in southern Egypt.

Description
The first portion of the stage is dark and has affected gravity. Batton Bones will spawn out of thin air, making the platforming unpredictable. Eventually, the player will have to get on a moving platform that carries them through an obstacle course. Upon reaching the end, the Maverick Hunters will teleport into a brighter area with pillars that flip the stage vertically, reversing gravity. After traversing these gravity puzzles, the door to Dark Necrobat is just up ahead.

Enemies

 * Batton Bone B82
 * Killer Sphere
 * Sigma Virus
 * Sniper
 * Spark Gunner
 * Star Dust

Items

 * Life Up: In the second area with flipping, jump back into the pillar so the room reverses a second time and reveals the Life Up
 * Sub Tank: At the end of the first moving platform area, the Sub Tank can be found plainly sitting up on a ledge.
 * Gaea Armor's Head Program: Drop down the hole just before Dark Necrobat's room to find the capsule behind a wall. Use Flash Laser through the small tunnels to hit the blue wall and blow it open.
