This stage appears to take place in a metropolitan area, and is rather short to complete. Mega Man faces robotic hedgehogs which fire needles from their backs, and later he must slide to avoid being hit by telescopic needles which extend from the ceiling.

Save the '''Gemini Laser''' for the boss fight. Use the other weapons freely; the '''Shadow Blade''' is probably the most useful.
Item list:
* 1 large '''W-capsule '''''(to encourage the player into using the special weapons)''
* 1 '''Energy can'''
Enemies list, sorted by appearance:
* '''Hari Harry''' - a porcupine robot; "hari" is Japanese for "needle"; it's especially weak against the Top Spin: wait for the moment when he stops moving.
* '''Metall''' - the most iconic enemy in the ''Mega Man'' series.
* '''Cannon''' - an armored hemi-spherical cannon; it can be damaged only when it is open; easily destroyed using the Shadow Blade.
* '''Yambow''' - "yambow" is Japanese for "dragonfly"; immune to Search Snake, weak against all other weapons.
* '''Needle Press''' - invincible stalactites; slide under them.
* '''Hammer Joe''' - a green robot that throws hammers; hit it with two Magnet Missiles when its red eye is open.
* '''Bikky''' - a huge jumping robot; hit it when it's in mid-air; destroy it with a single Hard Knuckle.

Needle Man jumps vertically into the air, firing his needle cannon at Mega Man. He also runs across the ground, pausing to attack Mega Man with the needles attached to his head. By using the Gemini Laser, a speedy defeat is assured, as even if the laser misses the target, it will reflect off the walls to hit him later.

Needle Man has two main methods of attack. He'll jump and rain needles down towards Mega Man, and he'll try to ram the Blue Bomber with his spiked head. Your best bet when fighting Needle Man is to stand as far away as possible and fire, while dodging his needle shots. If you got the Gemini Laser before coming into the stage, four hits from it will destroy the Robot Master.
