While I am going through each stage with a far more positive outlook to most it's hard to deny this stage really showcases a lot of the flaws in X7's core gameplay.
It starts off inviting enough with a 1-up just off the left side of the screen to start things off well enough and the Monkey robots are a basic but fun foe that shows off the basic's of targeting a weak spot by having the grouped ones blow up if the white one is destroyed but then you have the rock throwing guys that tack far too much damage to destroy and need to be copied to save reploids often in positions without room to do so safely.
The robot bees are as basic as they come but unlike most flying enemies in this game aren't a nightmare to actually hit and a free chance to restore health is always welcome.
The stage Layout is a little too flat with it being not all that much in the way aside from the basic enemies and easy to move around rockheads until you reach the section with the spikes where the camara does a terrible job of actually letting you see either the spikes, enemies or where you need to land making it more of a frustration than a challenge.
The floating Rock heads 'Mini-Boss' is an utter joke that makes you wonder why it was even added in the first place and the actual Boss Soldier StoneKong is incredibly simple but likes to start fights off with a quick charge just to be a pest, other than running at you he'll throw his shield out where it will travel around the arena once leaving him wide open while that happens with his other attack involving him jumping on the pillar before summoning two rocks that will travel around the arena that again can be easily jumped over with Zero or you can hover where they will collide into each other with Axel neither attack really does much so the fight gets very dull before you've even past half his health.
for anyone wondering why I chose to play on rockman X7 rather than the us or Europe Versions it's that on the Jp version of the game the bosses take more damage from all weapons leading to shorter less irritating fight.
