A Critical Look at Mega Man 3 Stages: Doc Robot K-176

Each of the revisited stages contains two fights with Doc Robot K-176, who takes on the attack pattern of one of the Robot Masters from Mega Man 2. These aren’t quite the same, as Doc’s sprite is bigger than even Wood Man, and he’s often slightly more difficult in other ways. However, we’ve got a […]

A Critical Look at Mega Man 3 Stages: The Robot Masters

Editor’s Note: We have something different going on with the pics now; just click to enlarge. One oddity about Mega Man 3‘s boss fights is that each one takes four damage from its own weapon. They also have minor (two damage) weaknesses to weapons other than their main weakness, but I’m going to avoid talking […]

A Critical Look at Mega Man 3 Stages: Needle Man Revisited

Needle Man Revisited LanceHeartlocalhost/tmmn

Needle Man Revisited Much like the original, this starts with a few Hari Harrys, with the addition of a small spike pit at the end. Lasers make quick work of them. The spike section is more intense this time, and the spike gives players something to think about when...

A Critical Look at Mega Man 3 Stages: Spark Man Revisited

After the first 8 stages, Mega Man 3 takes an interesting twist by making us revisit a different and often more damaged-looking version of half of them. We’ll also be fighting new versions of the Mega Man 2 bosses here, but we’ll come to that later. For now, let’s look at the stages. With a […]

Alright, time to look through our inventory. Hard Knuckle LanceHeartlocalhost/tmmn

Alright, time to look through our inventory. Hard Knuckle Mega Man stops in place for a moment and fires his fist forward. It’s slow, and can be directed up or down slightly with the D-Pad. Though it does more damage than the buster, its speed often prevents it...

A Critical Look at Mega Man 3 Stages: Hard Man

Hard Man’s Stage and Music Hard Man starts us on flat ground that becomes more complex over the next few screens. We have “Su” Bees flying in from the left during this section, dropping honeycombs that break open to release five Chibees when they land. Chibees then fly toward Mega Man until killed.

A Critical Look at Mega Man 3 Stages: Spark Man

Spark Man’s Stage and Music After one Peterchy, we meet the Electric Gabyoall. These move back and forth slowly and fire an electric beam between them now and then. LanceHeartlocalhost/tmmn
