+'''Cardinal Man''' is the second-last place entry in ''[[Make a Good Mega Man Level 2]]''. It appears to be a random jumble of enemies and stage terrain. The stage gets its name from its multiple branching paths and open-ended level design, with three [[Energy Element]]s and five [[Noble Nickel]]s to collect across all of them.
 ==Strategy==
-When you spawn, you will be standing on top of Ice Man ice cubes. Break the block next to the Wanaan to get an E-Tank and an M-Tank. Break the block to the right to leave the starting area. From there, you can either enter the skip teleporter or continue to play the rest of the stage.
+When you spawn, you will be standing on top of [[Ice Platform]]s. Break the [[Destroyable Block]] next to the [[Wanaan]] to get an E-Tank and an M-Tank. Break the block to the right to leave the starting area. From there, you can either enter the [[Skip Teleporter]] or continue to play the rest of the stage.
-If you choose the latter, continue to the left where you encounter a Wander Bell and a harmless Boulder. Eventually, you will reach a Hover. Said Hover will move really fast to the left, towards a ladder that leads upward, so avoiding it with [[Rush Jet]] or [[Super Arrow]] is a good option. Do not touch the red blocks or you will die. When you go upward, you will reach an area with a Caricarry, two Tellies, and an immobile Petit Goblin. Head to the right. You can climb the crystal-looking column to reach a place with several Tellies and the first [[Energy Element]] of the level.
+If you choose the latter, continue to the left where you encounter a [[Wander Bell]] and a harmless [[Drill Boulder]]. Eventually, you will reach a [[Hover]].

You can climb the crystal-looking column to reach a place with several Tellies and the first Energy Element of the level.
-For the second Energy Element, continue to the right where you previously climbed the column for the first element. You will find an Au-Au, along with some enemies enclosed underground. There are some glass-looking blocks, but most of them are part of the background. Climb the next column to continue forward and find a Fan Fiend (standing on air) and a Croaker. After dispatching the Croaker (preferably by staying on the column) and the Fan Fiend, which can most easily be accomplished by using Flash Stopper, use the Rush Jet to fly up to an icy white platform with Eddie on it. Fly past that to get to two lines of red blocks,  followed by a Big Fish and some scribbled-in red blocks. Most of them can simply be avoided by moving Rush partway above the screen, skipping most of the "parkour" below. At the end of that section you will reach another column to climb down. Upon CLIMBING (Note: Do not jump down, or you will die) down and going to the right you will encounter Nitron, Fatool, Blader, and Spine, followed by a conveyor belt section with a Big Telly. There are also a few spike jumps that cannot be made without a utility or using invincibility frames from all the enemies around you. If you prevail, you will make it to a section with Pengs and some large enemies. If you use the Water Pump to jump to where Komasaburo is, you will find the second energy element.

-This level was deemed skippable by the judges, largely in part to the nonsensical and obtuse nature of the stage.
