Venus Stage is a stage that appeared in Mega Man V that has Venus as the boss.
Description[]
Being one of the first four stages, it is located on Earth. Venus's stage takes place inside an experimental laboratory that is adorned with lots of soapy bubbles, both on the ceiling and sometimes on the floor. These bubbles also have Shaboan disguised among them, so Mega Man should watch out. One of the stage's unique gimmicks come in the form of giant waterfalls that rain down from above. They are telegraphed by harmless droplets of water, but if Mega Man stays inside a waterfall, he will be forced down and even be pushed through the floor and off ladders if there is no floor outside of the waterfall to support him. The bubbles being on the floor are unique to this stage and actually affect Mega Man's jump height. Whenever Mega Man lands on them, he will bounce up from the recoil before eventually going back to standing. if Mega Man is standing on a larger bubble, he will jump much higher than if he was standing on the smaller bubbles, a tactic that is needed to pass some spikes that are in the way. Beating this stage will additionally reward the player with Rush Coil.

Valuable pickups to look out for:
P-Chips: A total of 8 P-Chips (1 large) can be found and collected within this stage.
Mini E-Tank (x2): Both of them are in the first room with two Fankurows. They can be accessed by climbing up to a high platform using one of the ladders on both sides, then sliding underneath spikes to grab them. However, the left ladder is actually a trap, because the second Fankurow's wind will drag Mega Man to the spikes. This Fankurow should be instead be destroyed so Mega Man can climb up using the right ladder. As an alternative to sliding, Mega Man can use an enhanced Mega Arm to grab the two pickups.
Mini E-Tank: This one is in plain sight in the next room right after the room above with 2 Mini E-Tanks together. Defeat the Nibul and avoid the waterfall to have a safer time reaching this pickup.
Eddie: Appears in the next room after the second Baby Flies. Eddie will randomly provide a big health energy, a big weapon energy, a 1-UP, or an E-Tank. He cannot be cheesed as the player slides in from the left and cannot turn back.
Mini E-Tank: After the room with the Feeber and a giant waterfall. It is in plain sight and easily accessible with a jump to the left.
