Inferno

Inferno, known as Drop Dead in Japan, is Burn Rooster's stage in Mega Man X8. It is a borderland waste disposal center that harnesses the heat of a volcano to incinerate garbage, including retired Mavericks, being refered as the "Maverick dump". Burn Rooster refers to the disposal center as a Reploid graveyard, and unhappy with his work, he became a Maverick and caused an uprising in the disposal center. Some Guardroids from the area are equipped with freeze weapons that were originally used to control the heat. The Maverick Hunters went to the disposal center to stop the uprising. After Burn Rooster's defeat, the volcano's control system goes out of control and the Hunters must escape the flowing magma through the mouth of the volcano to teleport away.

This is also the stage from one of the Intermissions, an endurance test.
