String Theory is the third level on the path to the Psycho Chip in Chapter 2 of Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero.

Strategy

In the beginning, the stage introduces Web Fences and Spider Cogs. After climbing for a bit the player will find a Weapon Tank. The player can obtain it by using the Zap Chip and airdashing toward it. Below are Imorms, B Bitters and Web Barriers to stomp through. Coming down and to the right, the player will find a Kakinbatank,Deispider and a Web Pendulum to swing around. A Spider Potton, which dispenses Deispiders can easily be taken out with the Z-Burst. Going up leads to a checkpoint, which shows a Scissascissor cutting the web. In the room with Web Pendulums and a pit below, cut the web with the Z-Saber or Cutter Chip and roll the pendulum to break the wall. Climbing the Web Fence instead will bring the player to a few rooms before dropping through Web Barriers. Both paths lead to the second checkpoint.

Top Path

The top path introduces Crystal Generators atop a pit with Web Pendulums. Like the pendulum before, cutting and rolling down the pendulum will break the wall to the right. The player will find a room with two Pendulums. The player must swing the Pendulum far right and cut it to obtain a CD. Below the player is a Kakinbatank that always drops weapon energy, a pit, a door that brings the player back up to the pendulums and an exit door that takes them out of the room. The next room contains 3 Web Pendulums to swing the player upward and move right. In this room, the player can easily take down the enemies easily by cutting the pendulum down. The door leads back to the split path and the right leads to the boss: Recluse Woman

Bottom Path

The bottom path introduces Revealing Tiles and Hotheads. Flame Chip,Zap Chip, Hotheads, and Imorms emit light. The player must then jump across dark Web Pendulums and fight a Kakinbatank at the end of the room. Going up and to the right the player will find 3 Deispiders, an Imorm and two Web Barriers. The next room contains another Spider Potton and a CD the player can airdash to on the next room. The player can melt the Web Barrier to the right which'll give them an E-Tank. The door above leads to the room with the door leading back to the split paths. Going to the right leads to the boss.

Z-Phone Dialogue

	Contact	Transcript
	Dr. Wily	String Theory? Ah, the old bell tower. How'd an Element end up there?! Do they like obnoxiously loud noises? The place is a bit dusty, though, since... there's no need for a bell tower nowadays. I could use a change from phone alarms, though, so maybe we should bring it back.
	Agent Krantz	Krantz: String Theory? That cave is apparently being retrofitted to a new type of data storage facility. It uses web-like wires to transmit data, but the servers they connect to haven't been installed yet. Thankfully, those wires are strong enough that you can climb on them. On top of that, the stickiness will prevent you from falling if you get hit. There's also large "Web Pendulums". Cutting the string they hang on will cause them to fall. This can be problematic if you're suspended in midair, but it can be useful if you can get them rolling. Zero: The area as a whole seems to be dimly lit... Krantz: Yeah... apparently they wanted to keep the lighting only for development to save on the electric bill. I've even heard some of the deeper areas lack any light at all. Do you have anything that could help you see?
	Galaxy Man	(CD #1): For this one, make sure you take the bottom path in the path split zone place! It'll be all dark and spooky and stuff, but the CD'll be in plain sight! (CD #2): For this one, make sure you take the top path in the path split area zone! Right after that, use your saber to release one of those web orbs, and break through that grey wall! After that, you'll need to figure out some wacky physics to finally snag the CD!
	Yamato Man	Yamato Man: Recluse Woman? Isn't she the security robot for that server farm in the middle of nowhere? Why did they design her after a spider? Zero: Arachnids are known for spinning and using... web. Yamato Man: So they made the security guard a spider for the sake of a bad pun? Zero: That seems to be the case, yes. Yamato Man: I like these guys, whoever they are! As for this security robot, watch out for the venomous shots she aims at you, but also keep an eye on the top of the screen when she swings around, because she'll start dropping tiny robot spiders all over the place! When injured enough, she'll run off; but use the web she leaves behind to climb up after her! Haha, I'd kill to have a duel inside a bell tower! It's a very dramatic battlefield! Zero: Do you think the bell could be used by or against me? Yamato Man: Hmm... Perhaps if you can reach it. But unless you have a way to get inside it, I think it's out of the cards for both of you.
	Knives	Knives: What, the bell tower place?? Noooo! That stupid spider robot freaks me out. She'd totally get in our way and ruin the date and stuff. With cobwebs. And stuff. The spiders aren't even good enough, anyways. They're not even dangerous. Zero: I do not get you at all. Knives: The risk factor's very important in deciding the location, Zero!! If they were POISONOUS spiders, then we'd be going places!!

Trivia

• If the jump button is held while entering String Theory, the level will take on an alternate "daytime" palette, with both the stage music and Recluse Woman's boss fight having different music.
