Amazon Area

Amazon Area (アマゾンエリア) is Commander Yammark's stage in Mega Man X6. Despite its title and appearance implying it is in South America, the Stage Select Screen map indicates that it is located somewhere around the Pacific Ocean, near the Northern Mariana Islands. Around the forest are several Mesoamerican-style pyramid buildings.

Description
The stage begins above ground, but soon goes underground into grassy tunnels. If the Nightmare Phenomenon is in effect, Nightmare Dark will appear here, and Nightmare Wind will appear later in the stage. It then becomes a cold, ice-like cave full of spikes that must be traversed using the Caterpirides. There is an infamous section here mostly referred to as the "blind jump" in which the player has to make a jump without knowing where the lower Caterpiride is, and possibly falling on the spikes around it. The safest way to get through this part is probably by attacking the Caterpiride to the left thus luring it to the lower spikes to the right (See the image. also this method is not widely known and needs more testing). It then opens to another area above ground, with several platforms to cross before reaching Commander Yammark's arena. The Nightmare portal to the secret area can be found falling down a tall vertical shaft, on the right side.
