Who designs these robot master stages?

The villainous Dr. Cossack unleashes eight unique mechs themed after combat ideas like Bright Man lighting or Dust Man vacuum stages filled with hazardous platform layouts—and later you must stop the true mastermind Wily deep in his own fortress.

When would you advise saving tanks?

Save your energy tanks and reserve your best energy weapons for the lengthy end-of-level showdown against each robot leader or especially grueling sections like Wily Castle's fortress finale, but do not hoard them on stages where health and lives themselves become critical.
