Mega Man 3 is a 1990 action-platformer developed by Capcom for the NES. Following the success of its predecessor, it introduces key mechanics that became staples of the series, including the ability to slide under low obstacles and the debut of Rush, Mega Man’s transforming robotic companion.
How to play
Your goal is to defeat eight new Robot Masters, absorb their unique weapons, and ultimately confront Dr. Wily. Navigate using the arrow keys, press Z to fire your Mega Buster, and X to jump. To perform a slide, hold down and press X. You can call upon Rush to reach high platforms or cross large gaps. Press Enter for Start and Shift for Select.
Tips
- Robot Masters are weak to specific weapons; for example, Top Man’s weapon (Top Spin) is highly effective against Shadow Man.
- Use the slide not only to pass through narrow passages but also to quickly dodge incoming projectiles and boss attacks.
- Rush Marine is invaluable in the water segments of Gemini Man’s stage.
