Cutting Edge Technology is the 106th place entry in Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level. It is seemingly supposed to represent the inside of a computer, judging from the random background tiles that resemble computer fans. The stage itself mostly focuses on Sheep Block platforming, while avoiding attacks from enemies and Super Cutters that endlessly spawn from the aforementioned fans. Beyond that, the stage itself is notable for lacking an Energy Element when initially submitted, resulting in one being added by the devteam.
Strategy
The first few screens aren't notable, mainly consisting of avoiding a few Bomb Pottons and going through a short Molmole section, with an introduction to Super Cutters sandwiched between them. The Sheep Blocks here come in two varieties: red and yellow blocks that disappear very quickly, and green and blue blocks that take a lot longer to disappear. This is important as in two consecutive screens, Mega Man needs to avoid enemy attacks while waiting for the blocks to vanish. The Rain Flush can instantly kill Pakatto 24s regardless of their shields, while the Flame Mixer will destroy Super Cutters on contact (if one doesn't sneak past the flames). At the first checkpoint, a split path presents itself, though the only real choice is going right; the left path leads to a blank screen and instant death.
The rest of the stage from this point on demands quick platforming on red/yellow Sheep Blocks, with the aim of reaching safe ground before falling into a pit or onto spikes. As ever, use of the Rain Flush or Flame Mixer where possible is recommended. Occasionally, a wall of Sheep Blocks will barricade the path forward, requiring a sense of when to jump before the platform vanishes in order to avoid death. At the very end is an Energy Element and a sign from the devteam – despite two boss doors being at the end, they are non-functional and nothing exists beyond them.

Notes
- Cutting Edge Technology is the lowest ranking stage in MaG48HMML that wasn't explicitly trying for last place (before late penalties were applied, it had the lowest base score of all entries).
- When originally submitted, the two boss doors at the end were functional objects, but since they weren't on a valid screen edge, touching them would result in a softlock. This, combined with the level initially lacking an Energy Element at the end, resulted in two functionality penalties and a -4 point deduction.
- Cutting Edge Technology is the only level in MaG48HMML to be submitted without any music, and is the first such level since the original Make a Good Mega Man Level's Objective: Vain Space and The Quickening.
