Old Surface City

The Old Surface City (旧地上都市, Kyuuchijoutoshi) is a location from the first Mega Man Zero game.

Summary

The place is a ghost city abandoned long ago. Fugitive Reploids labelled as Mavericks by Neo Arcadia eke out a living hidden under the high-rise buildings and rubble. The Resistance Base is hidden under the city. To the left of the base is the entrance to the Desert, and to the right is the entrance to the Subway Ruins and the Disposal Center.

Disposal Center as seen in the Japanese version of Mega Man Zero.

The Disposal Center (処理しせつ / スクラップ処理場, Shori Shisetsu/Sukurappu Shorijou) is a facility used by Neo Arcadia to dispose of anyone they consider to be "Mavericks". After her rescue, Ciel asks Zero to destroy the facility to prevent further retirement of innocent Reploids. Zero arrives on time to rescue one Reploid and two Mechaniloids from Aztec Falcon.

After the player completes (or fails) 4 missions after the Disposal Center, Hittite Hottaid will be deployed by Neo Arcadia to destroy the Resistance Base, being released in front of the Disposal Center and passing through the old city until it reaches the base. Zero must destroy it before it reaches the Resistance Base.

Mission - Rescue Reploids from Disposal

Mission Brief

"What I want to ask you is if you would do something that no one has been able to do so far... I want you to destroy the Disposal Center, where they retire our comrades one after another... Even while I speak, they may be retiring a Reploid who is wrongly suspected of being a Maverick. To prevent any additional loss of Reploid life, please destroy the enemy facility..."

— Ciel, Mega Man Zero

Comm. (In Mission)

"The Disposal Center is up ahead of you! Please rescue our comrade!"

— Ciel, Mega Man Zero

The stage layout begins with horizontal traversal through conveyor belts and narrow ledges, where Zero must avoid rolling Spikings, as well as sudden spike pits. Midway, players encounter Carryarms transporting hazards. The last section switches to vertical platforming, requiring Zero to move and time every step precisely as powerful wind currents force him into enemies or spikes. Aztec Falcon, the facility's warden threatens to execute the Resistance members who are held captive, prompting Zero to defeat Aztec Falcon before time runs out (1:20).
