Laser Institute Stage (レーザー研究所ステージ Rēzā Kenkyūjo Sutēji)[1] is Shining Firefly's stage in Mega Man X5. It is Shining Firefly's laser research lab, located near the Kuril Islands.
Description[]
The stage starts outside the laboratory, which resembles an old European castle. Upon entering the castle, there are falling spiked traps for a long portion of the stage. After clearing them and destroying a door, the player is transported to the second segment - a spiral staircase similar to the one found in Split Mushroom's Bio Laboratory with the Prism Guardian sub-boss at the top. After teleporting out of the staircase, there is a section with auto-defense systems that fire rolling plasma balls. Climbing through them all grants access to Shining Firefly's boss arena.
