Safari Park Stage (サファリパークステージ)[1] and Jungle Stage (ジャングルステージ)[2] are Neon Tiger's stages in Mega Man X3 and Mega Man Xtreme 2, respectively.
Description[]
Mega Man X3[]
The Safari Park Stage is an artificial park located in the eastern mountains of Dopple Town. The stage begins in an open area with Tomborts, which can be used as platforms to reach the top of the area faster. There is then a tunnel full of Drill Wayings, followed by a downward ladder that leads to the sub-boss arena of Worm Seeker-R. Next is another forest section before the sub-boss room where Bit or Byte appear, and after that is a section with Atareeters creating spikes before Neon Tiger's boss room.

Mega Man Xtreme 2[]
The Jungle Stage on Laguz Island is very different from the safari park in Mega Man X3. It is part of X Mission. Visually, it resembles more of a thick forest than a park. The route travels along the treetops, moving platforms, and two Ride Armor sections, none of which were originally present. Overall, it takes heavy inspiration from Sting Chameleon's Forest Stage.

Items[]
Mega Man X3[]
|
 Life Up
|
|---|---|
| Climb the wall just above the boss shutters to find the Life Up at the top. Standing on a Tombort makes it easier to reach. | |
|
 Sub Tank
|
| In the open area with hanging platforms, climb the wall on the far right to find the Sub Tank in the corner. A Tombort can be used to reach it easier. | |
|
 Arm Parts
|
| Instead of descending the ladder at the end of a hallway, destroy the cracked wall to the right with Tornado Fang. Use the Leg Parts to air dash across the gap and onto a ledge with the capsule. |
Mega Man Xtreme 2[]
|
 Life Up
|
|---|---|
| In the first Ride Armor segment, use its hover ability to punch open the upper part of a certain tree, revealing the Life Up within. | |
|
 Head Parts
|
| After the moving platforms, the capsule is behind a wooden panel that can be destroyed with Fire Wave. In Extreme Mode, if Zero obtains Fire Wave instead of X, this capsule is rendered unobtainable. |

Trivia[]
- The music in Neon Tiger's stage was long believed to be an homage to the song "My Michelle" by Guns N' Roses; however, Kinuyo Yamashita, the composer of the Mega Man X3 soundtrack, stated that at the time she worked on the game, she had never heard of Guns N' Roses and composed the music for Mega Man X3 simply "in the image of Mega Man."[3]
