For the Mega Man X5 stage, see Laser Institute Stage

Laser Institute (レーザー研究所 Rēzā Kenkyūjo) is Shield Sheldon's stage in Mega Man X6. It is a mysterious, unauthorized laser research facility.

Description[]

X6 LaserInstitute preview

The institute appears to be built high above the clouds, only accessible by air transport as evidenced by the launchpads in the background. The stage starts outside the facility at night. Entering the facility, there are Nightmare Lasers that need to be redirected using mirrors in order to open several gates. If the Nightmare Phenomenon is present, there are added Nightmare Bugs and Cubes as well. Once the end of the hall is reached, there is a choice of two doors to open: the one in the wall leads to the boss with Shield Sheldon, while the one in the floor leads to more laser puzzles and collectibles, including the Another Route warp.

The Nightmare Phenomena that may affect this stage are Nightmare Bug and Nightmare Cube. The phenomenon that this stage activates in others is Nightmare Mirror.

The Another Route is full of spikes and pits that must be traversed by hanging from wires, leading to the encounter with one of the Another Bosses.

Trivia[]

  • The Stage Select Screen pointer indicates that the stage is situated in the Pacific Coast, specifically California. However, as the map contains errors, it is unknown if this is its actual location.
  • Laser Institute is the only stage in Mega Man X6 whose Another Route boss room has a completely different backdrop from the normal boss room.
