Forest Stage

Forest Stage (森林ステージ), also known as Recon Base Ruins, is Sting Chameleon's stage in Mega Man X and Maverick Hunter X.

Mega Man X / Maverick Hunter X
The forest is a front-line base heavily used in the Maverick uprising. The stage takes place on a rocky path throughout said forest, including a large cavern full of falling stones - going above the cave and defeating RT-55J will stop them and clear the way. There are also trees which Mad Peckers pull Creepers out of. After the cave, there is a muddy area that can be traversed using Ride Armor.

After Launch Octopus' defeat, the forest is flooded with water from the ocean, giving the Amenhoppers a place to swim and completely flooding the underground areas of the stage.

Enemies

 * Sub-boss (optional): RT-55J
 * Amenhopper
 * Armor Soldier (with Ride Armor)
 * Axe Max
 * Crag Man
 * Creeper
 * Hoganmer
 * Jamminger
 * Mad Pecker
 * Planty (with Iworms)

Items

 * Life Up: After flooding the stage by beating Launch Octopus, go down the pit just before the cave segment. Kick through the rocks on the wall and then dash jump to the right to find the Life Up on a ledge. In Vile Mode, it is hidden high in the first tree of the stage, and can be retrieved with Quick Homesick.
 * Sub Tank (MHX): In Vile Mode, it is hidden in the roof of the cave segment. Quick Homesick or a Ride Armor jump can retrieve it.
 * Body Parts (X): Jump up on top of the cave segment to trigger a sub-boss fight with RT-55J. Upon its defeat, the capsule appears.
 * Arm Parts (MHX): In the same location as the Body Parts in Mega Man X.

Trivia

 * The Life Up was not originally in its spot; it was before in the mountain part, the cubby under the 1-UP one. This is seen in the Rockman X trailer in Mega Man X Legacy Collection.
 * Interestingly, in Mega Man Xtreme 2, a portion of this stage appears as part of Neon Tiger's stage.
