Jungle Stage

"Into the jungle!"

- Stage tagline

Jungle Stage (ジャングルステージ) is Spike Rosered's stage in Mega Man X5. It is an abandoned secret Repliforce facility hidden deep in a city with the mechanical jungle in between eastern Ukraine and southern Russia.

History
After the Great Repliforce War, this jungle facility was abandoned, leaving a functional Orbital Engine behind. Spike Rosered later took refuge in the abandoned jungle and took possession of the Orbital Engine. During the events of Mega Man X5, the Maverick Hunters arrived at the jungle for the Orbiter Engine to power their Space Shuttle to destroy the descending Eurasia colony. Rosered refuses to give it to them, citing his disapproval of their methods in determining which Reploids are deemed Mavericks and which ones are not. Thus, they are forced to engage him in battle and destroy him, taking the Orbiter Engine from him by force.

Description
The stage begins outdoors, before going into a cavern where vine-like poles are used to climb upwards. Continuing to the right, a tunnel leads downwards, and continue to maneuver through the obstacles and enemies using the poles. The stage is fairly straightforward from here, requiring precise platforming over spiked floors to reach Rosered's room.

Enemies

 * Purple Rose
 * Seil Gabyoall
 * Sigma Virus
 * Togeroid

Items

 * Life Up: Before climbing up the poles near the start of the stage, there are Gaea Cubes on the right. Destroy them with the Gaea Armor, then push the other Gaea Cubes into position to climb up and grab the Life Up.
 * Gaea Armor's Foot Program: During the second area where the player climbs along the pole above the pit, find an opening in the roof just before the end of the pole. Jump and fly up into the opening with Falcon Armor to find the capsule.
