The Central Computer Stage (中央コンピューター Chū Ō Konpyūtā),[1] also known as the Giant Computer Interior Stage (超大型コンピューター内部ステージ Chō Ōgata Konpyūtā Naibu Sutēji) in Japan, is Magna Centipede's stage in Mega Man X2 and Mega Man Xtreme. It is a large computer hub that Magna Centipede uses to spread the Maverick Virus worldwide. The stage later hosts the final battle with Neo Sigma.
Description[]
Mega Man X2[]

X infiltrates the Central Computer's fortress to stop Magna Centipede. The stage has heavy stealth elements, including searchlights that will drop Blecker cannons to attack X if he gets spotted. After traversing that segment, X is faced with Installer blocks that try to crush him, a Radar Killer that attempts to steal his data to become stronger, before finally finding Magna Centipede's chamber.
Once X-Hunter Stage 4 is complete, visiting either the X-Hunter Stage or Magna Centipede's stage will trigger the final battle in the room where the first sub-boss, Chop Register, used to appear. Depending on whether the player collected all of Zero's parts or not, the final battles either involve a brainwashed Zero followed by Sigma, or otherwise just fighting Sigma.

Central Computer appeared in the Rockman X2 manga. However unlike the game, in the manga, the final battle with Sigma took place in the X-Hunter Base.
Notes[]
- After finishing the Opening Stage in Mega Man X2, a machine resembling the Central Computer appears in a location used by the X-Hunters to observe X. The connection of the machine and Central Computer has not been explained.
- After finishing the X-Hunter Base Stage 4, the music of the Central Computer Stage is changed to the one used for the Opening Stage.
