A '''stage''', also known as a '''level''', '''world''', '''round''', '''chapter''' or '''zone''' (thank you [[Fire Emblem series]] and [[Sonic the Hedgehog series]] for breaking the five-letter pattern), is a portion of a [[video game]]. Usually, one plays through each stage in order until the game is complete.

== Games by what they call their stages ==
=== One-way ===
;stage
:[[Touhou series]]
:[[Streets of Rage series]]
:[[The Adventures of Batman and Robin]]
:[[Twinkle Star Sprites]]
:[[Puyo Puyo series]]
:[[Sonic the Hedgehog series]], as far as [[Special Stage]]s and [[Bonus Stage]]s are concerned
;level
:Usually used by simpler games like Pacman and Tetris and sometimes just refer to the current difficulty rather than a specific "portion" of the game. As such most [[RPG]]s now (mis?)use this word to refer to [[Experience points|how strong each character is]].
;world
:[[Mario series]]
;round
:Most fighting games, such as [[Street Fighter]]
:[[Sonic CD]] (which, just to be confusing, calls acts zones)
;chapter
:[[Fire Emblem series]]
;zone
:[[Sonic the Hedgehog series]], except [[Sonic CD]]
;sector
:[[Iji (video game)|Iji]]. Another exception to the rule, as the term ''sector'' isn't usually used in a game where you can't go backwards.

=== Any order ===
;stage
:[[Mega Man series]]
{{ShortList}}

=== Free exploration ===
;sector
:[[Metroid Fusion]] (and possibly the rest of the series, I'm not entirely sure)
