A Critical Look at Mega Man 4 Stages: Dr. Cossack Stage 4

Cossack Stage 4 The path to Cossack starts off with some refills, an E-Tank, and a nice view of the night sky. Pakatto and Jumbig are easily dealt with by now, and we’ve already met both in worse situations. TMMN Staff

Use the Washroom with Mega Man

Okay, so maybe that’s not as appealing as it sounds, though Bubble Man’s stage was a good choice of backdrop. From what we can tell, this was made in an otherwise-unknown public restroom.

I’m going to be honest here; no matter what I say about the design, I’m always going to hate this stage because I can’t stand this mechanic in platformers.
