Gemini Man Stage is a stage that debuted in Mega Man 3, which has Gemini Man as a boss.
Appearances[]
Mega Man 3[]
Normal Stage[]
Gemini Man's Stage takes place in an alien planet, located in deep outer space and first starting out walking on mirror-like terrain and getting a parallax view of the stars. The entrance to the cavern is sealed off by a large machine, which is when Proto Man arrives and blows it up for the player. The insides of the cavern flash many colors and are full of veiny, algae-like growth. Although there is no central gimmick, this stage has the most difficult platforming sections of the initial 8, and also happens to be the longest and most lucrative. There is water in one room, but it mainly exists to allow Gyoraibos to attack the player from below.

Valuable pickups to look out for:
- 1-UP: When the player first enters the cavern, hold left to nab this pickup, or hold right to get a big health pickup. If you miss the items, you can use Rush Coil/Jet to get back up to them.
- ? Can: In the first 'Pole' room, located in a high platform that is blocked off by Pole eggs. You must cleverly shoot the eggs as to carve a path towards it, and then use Rush Coil/Jet to easily claim it.
- 1-UP: On a lone water platform right after the 1st Gyoraibo. After getting it, the player must use Rush Coil/Jet to get back onto the platforms up high.
- E-Tank: After the 2nd 1-UP, this pickup rests on an identical platform and is achieved the same way.
- E-Tank: At the end of the Yambow + Gyoraibo room, in plain sight and easily accessed.
Revisited Stage[]
Gemini Man's Stage is one of the 4 stages that get revisited when the player has to take down the Doc Robots. The stage itself hasn't changed much, visually, and is structured very similarly to the original. Ironically, the revisited stage is actually easier because of this, such as the Bomber Pepes being replaced with Jamacies and the water section now requiring Rush Marine/Jet to pass through, which only demands the player to shoot through the Gyoraibos in their way. It should also be noticed that right after the 'Doc Flash' battle, there is a forced Rush area with no enemies or way to back-track, meaning if you don't have enough energy at this point, you are soft-locked and forced to reset the game.

Valuable pickups to look out for:
- ? Can: As the player first enters the cavern, this pickup will be on a high platform. Get to the other platform next to it, shoot the pickup, then use Rush Jet to claim it.
- ? Can: In the same room as the 1st ?-Tank, but this pickup is blocked off completely by Pole eggs. The easiest way to reach this pickup is to get to the entire right side, then use Rush Jet to fly up and blow open a passageway to the pickup.
Mega Man III[]
Gemini Man's Stage in the GB demake once again takes place in an alien planet, located in deep outer space and first starting out walking on mirror-like terrain and goes inside the veiny, algae-like growth of the caverns. However, there is nothing blockading the entrance, and the water has been replaced with spikes. Beyond these changes, the stage is nearly identical to before, but generally has less pickups.

Other media[]
Gemini Man's stage appeared in the Archie Comics Mega Man issues 42 and 43 as one of the four asteroids taken by the Robot Masters. Mega Man is confused with what the place is supposed to be, and Gemini Man himself is not sure, suggesting that it may have been used for an algae growth experiment or something similar.
The stage also appeared in the Rockman World 3 manga.
