In this entry, we get to hear some of the best music in the game. Also, Pete Burns.
Top Man
Celebrity Big Brother 4 UK in 2006, because I can. There, there's your reference to that song again.
The two bolts on a screw don't hit you until they're connected. By that point, they'll slowly fly towards you.
The little red frog robots are best taken down from either a lower platform or while they're in the air.
The robot with the top in his chest just stands there and shoots tops out. The tops disappear after a couple of seconds, but you still want to take the guy out as quickly as possible.
Remember those giant blue robot dogs from the second game? Well, now we're dealing with giant orange robot cats. Not only do these things shoot yarn balls at you, but they also sic robot fleas at you! At least the fleas are destroyable. Avoid the yarn balls, though.
The spinning platforms actually spin Mega Man around, which makes jumping from one to another a little more difficult than it should be. Thankfully, you aren't shaken around too much, so you can still time your jumps. You just have to think slightly harder.
To beat Top Man, shoot the Hard Knuckle at him from in close and slide to avoid the tops he shoots into the air, as they home in on your current position. When he spins around, jump over him, then hit him again when he stops. This is basically his entire attack pattern in a nutshell, which makes him the easiest boss in the game as well as the easiest to beat with the Proto Buster.
Beating Top Man gives you the Top Spin. You don't actually shoot tops at people like Top Man does. Instead, you have to be in the air to use it, and doing so lets you spin around in the air like a top. It's a silly weapon, and there doesn't seem to be many uses for it, but at least it makes you a human shield-battering ram combination (I guess) as long as you're airborne.
Shadow Man
The first enemy robot you'll see is that little guy that shoots upwards, with the shot falling down towards you. Just move out of the way and shoot the guy.
The robots on the ceiling are some sort of holographic projectors. When you get close, you won't be able to see a thing, and the whole screen turns black with stars moving slowly towards the left side of the screen. If you shoot them down, this will stop, and you'll be able to see again.
The grenades try to follow you, and in case they can't reach you on a high platform after about two or three jumps, they'll just give up and move in the opposite direction. They take one hit to destroy, but don't be in close when you do that. They will explode.
The robots with the parachute go left and right as they slowly drop to the bottom, but they don't go to the side too much. They'll appear when you're on the edge of the platforms, so it's pretty easy to see them coming.
The dragonfly robots fly in the air until they're above you, then they drop down in their attempt to line up with you. After that, they'll fly towards you again. Once they've lowered, you're in prime position to shoot them down before they can run into you.
To beat Shadow Man, equip Top Spin and get below him when he does a high jump. That's your cue to jump into the air and hit him with Top Spin on his way down. He'll go down in a few hits, but you might want to use an Energy Can before you do this. It's still very, very possible to die while doing this. Shadow Man not only throws shurikens, he can also slide, which makes him doubly annoying.
Beating Shadow Man gives you the Shadow Blade. You'll also get Rush Marine.
Spark Man
Jump over the force field generators when they're not zapping a laser to block your path.
The flying plug monsters are easy to take down, but they can shoot sparks in eight directions when given the chance.
The chutes shoot down blocks of metal, which can crush you and cause instant death if you're not careful.
Be careful with the red platforms with the arrow pointing up. They'll rocket you into spikes and instantly kill you if you're not quick!
To get past the forming walls of metal blocks, just walk past them as soon as you see them, being careful not to get hit by the blocks when they fall from the chute in the ceiling.
To beat Spark Man, hit him with the Shadow Blade. Just like the Metal Blade in the second game, you can toss this weapon in eight directions. Just remember that you have a much shorter but still adequate shot range wih it. Spark Man has two attacks that he uses while leaping from one end of the room to the other: shooting sparks in eight directions, followed by throwing one big one at you.
Beating Spark Man gives you Spark Shock and Rush Jet.
