NintendoCapriSun plays Mega Man X3 - Part 8 of 17


We spend our time in Crush Crawfish's stage, then finally return to Neon Tiger.

Crush Crawfish


Music here is pretty good.

There is a Robot Ride platform just below the start.

Just to the right of the Robot Ride platform is a gray platform that can be destroyed with a powered-up Triad Thunder. Stand on it, then power up Triad Thunder and you'll go down into a hidden area where you'll find the H icon for the Hawk Armor. The Hawk armor allows you to hover for a few seconds, and also shoot missiles straight ahead.

When you go right, the red robot with the dual ball-and-chain weapons will break the platform as well as a few more below it. Go down two levels, then break the wall to the right with the Hawk Armor. You'll find the Heart Tank for this stage.

At the lowest level, go right and drop down the first pit you see. Break the cracked wall with a fully-charged Triad Thunder, and you'll be able to find another pink capsule. This one is the Armor Enhancement Chip, which turns your shield red and cuts damage taken even more.

If you've beaten Bit, you'll face Byte in the first empty room. (This is one of four stages where you'll meet Byte.) He will shoot his fist at the wall, and the fist will drag you towards it. Byte will then dash towards his fist, and if he runs into you, he'll knock you into the ceiling before knocking you into the far side of the room. Stay at the top corner, then air dash over Byte when he dashes towards you. Hit him with Tornado Fang, which will do the most damage. If you know what to do, this battle shouldn't take a lot of time and effort.

If you land the final blow with Tornado Fang, Byte will die instead of flee.

The green robots with the laser cannons and the angled legs will fold backwards to shoot your legs off. Finish them off with fully-charged X-Buster shots.

The second section has you going into a submarine dock...and into a submarine itself. Use the Tornado Fang on the wall blocking the two 1-Ups.

The second door leads to a machine. Shoot at the center of it to sink the submarine and turn it sideways. This will allow you to climb to the last set of doors leading to Crush Crawfish.

To beat Crush Crawfish, hit him with Triad Thunder, then air dash over him. Avoid the claw attack, and don't be too far in the air when the creatures he shoots out that climb the wall come down. (You don't want to touch these things, either, as they'll drop you straight back down to the floor.)

Beating Crush Crawfish gives you the Spinning Blade.
