One characteristic of ''Mega Man Zero'' is the fact that most stages are the setting for two missions. This feature is not found in any other game in the [[:Category:Mega Man|Mega Man series and subseries]].
Of course, enemies are different during the second mission in the same area; in some cases, the stage is also navigated backwards.

Another characteristic is that when you clear one stage, one or more new stages are unlocked, in a fashion similar to ''[[Mega Man & Bass]]''. This feature was lost in the subsequent ''{{c|Mega Man Zero}}'' games.
