Dr. Doppler's Laboratory, shortened to Doppler's Lab and also known as the Doppler Stages (ドップラーステージス Doppurā Sutējisu) is the final set of stages in Mega Man X3. It is Dr. Doppler's secret laboratory, located at Point D of Dopple Town.
Description[]
After the defeat of the eight Maverick bosses, Doppler's fortress appears seemingly from underground. It is the residence of Dr. Doppler.
Doppler Stage A[]
Doppler Stage A.
The first stage, which appears to be a disposal facility and prison where captured Reploids are kept. According to Zero, there is an army of powerful Mavericks in Dr. Doppler's lab and they've been modified by Dr. Doppler into war machines. Along with some powerful enemies, this stage features several deadly hazards including spiked ceilings, wall crushers, and spiked ball dispensers. X can also find a hidden Light Capsule that contains the Hyper Chip in this stage.

Doppler Stage B[]
Top: Doppler Stage B left intact, as normal.
Bottom: Doppler Stage B if Vile wasn't destroyed.
The second stage is evidently set on the higher floors of the lab, as mountains whose peaks reach above the clouds are visible through the windows. If Vile MK-II was killed before unlocking Doppler's Lab, this stage is full of strong enemies and some water. However, if Vile wasn't killed, the stage is ravaged with broken windows and drained of its water, and is only populated by low-level enemies (comparison on the right). This implies that Vile has gone on a rampage through the stage with his Ride Armor before finally facing X.
It is possible for X to obtain the Z-Saber here by using Zero to fight and defeat Mosquitus (which only appears if Vile MK-II was killed), only for it to crash land on Zero who then gives X his saber.

Doppler Stage C[]

The third stage, set in the core of Dr. Doppler's lab. It features the rematch fights against the eight Mavericks, followed by the battle with Dr. Doppler himself.
