PrinceWatercress plays Mega Man 3 - Part 8 of 8


...and for the third time, Wily goes down. See you next game.

Dr. Wily Stage 3


The music here is even more awesome.

Most of the enemies and obstacles here come from Top Man's and Shadow Man's stages.

Don't miss the Energy Can after that first vertical section at the beginning.

The "Ice Climbers" section with all the moving platforms is lined with spikes. Be sure to land on the platforms, as this part can be slightly unforgiving.

The boss here, or bosses, is a set of Mega Man clones. Use the Search Snake to find out which one is the real one. If you cause damage, you got the right one.

You can easily win this battle with the Proto Buster, but Search Snake causes more damage in less time.

Dr. Wily Stage 4


This stage is probably the first use of "3D elements" in a Mega Man game. Mega Man can get behind the pipes, as if they're part of the foreground. He'll be "instantly" behind it when you get a certain amount of him behind the piping.

The robot that throws the metal blocks can be temporarily incapacitated with the Spark Shock.

Counter-clockwise from the upper left, it's Needle Man, Magnet Man, Gemini Man, Hard Man, Top Man, Shadow Man, Spark Man, and Snake Man.

Magnet Man can be destroyed really easily with the Spark Shock.

Dr. Wily Stage 5


To beat Dr. Wily's first form, get under him and repeatedly hit the cannon underneath Dr. Wily's robot with Shadow Blade as quickly as possible.

For the second form, get out from underneath him and hit Dr. Wily with the Shadow Blade. Be careful to avoid the shots that pop out from the two turrets at his sides, as they home in straight on your current position.

You'll beat Dr. Wily, but it turns out you just fought a robot fake.

Dr. Wily Stage 6


Gamma has two forms.

For the first one, get directly under it, jump up and hit the head with Shadow Blade. If the shots that come out of the head arc slightly to the left, you're positioned right.

when the health is halfway down, the head is destroyed and replaced with an even bigger one with the real Dr. Wily at the controls inside. Get on top of the fist, which can be used as a platform. Then jump to the highest platform, switch to Top Spin, and jump off the very edge of the higest platform and use it on Dr. Wily. You'll beat him in one hit.

When you beat Dr. Wily, metal blocks fall on both you and Dr. Wily. Dr. Wily is seemingly crushed, as is Mega Man. A mystery man shows up and saves Mega Man, but can't find Wily. Mega Man wakes up in front of Dr. Light, and they both find out that Proto Man saved them.

There you have it! That's Mega Man 3 finished!
