Noah's Park

Noah's Park is the Opening Stage from Mega Man X8, located in an area near the Jakob Orbital Elevator in Point Galapagos.

Description
The Maverick Hunters first go to the area to stop a Maverick Mechaniloid called Crabs-Y. After fighting Crabs-Y in the jungle, it flees towards the mountainside. They pursue it, next fighting it in a waterfall until it flees again. They then enter a small building, where they finally corner and destroy it. After defeating Crabs-Y, it is revealed that Vile has kidnapped Lumine, kicking off the events of the game.

An Intermission also takes place in this stage, wherein the player fights as many enemies as possible.

Trivia

 * The name of this stage is based off the classic Bible story "Noah's Ark", which is thematically relevant given that the humans of Mega Man X8 were planning to migrate to the Moon in order to avoid danger, similar to how Noah planned to migrate into a watercraft in order to avoid a flood.
 * Noah's Park is the only intro stage in the Mega Man X series to have upgrades such as a Light Capsule in it.
