Story


"It's three times the thrills... three times the action... three times the fun. It's MEGA MAN 3! Legions of once peaceful robots have been mysteriously transformed into a horde of humanity-hating berserk droids! Nobody is safe - least of all Mega Man. Armed with every android-annihilator ever invented, they're determined to reduce the super-powered cyborg into a heap of radioactive waste! Can our hero outfight, outwit and "out-robot" the robots? Will Mega Man pulverize powerful robot-maniacs? Or will he meltdown? It's all up to you, as you join the battle in Mega Man 3."

Ending


The ending of this game is exactly the same as that of Mega Man (PC), except for the credits.

Trivia

 * This game was the second and last Mega Man game for DOS computers, but it is named Mega Man 3. Strangely, there was no Mega Man 2 for the PC. This may have been due to Hi-Tech (and Capcom) wanting to capitalize off of the success of Mega Man 3 on the NES.


 * Five of the Robot Masters have the same name of other original characters: Oil Man, Wave Man, Blade Man, SharkMan.EXE and TorchMan.EXE (FireMan.EXE's American anime name). Only Bit Man has yet to share a name with another character.


 * All six of the Robot Masters' portraits were directly ripped from various games and edited to represent such bosses:
 * Wave Man --&gt; Air Man - Fan is replaced by six water guns.
 * Bit Man --&gt; Hard Man - Colour is changed to bright yellow and a decorative piece is added to the head.
 * Blade Man --&gt; Metal Man - Circular saw is removed and colour is changed to purple.
 * Torch Man --&gt; Magnet Man - Magnet is removed.
 * Shark Man --&gt; Crash Man/Snake Man - Visor and helmet is replaced by a gray helmet decorated to look like a shark's head or a Snake Man with his Snake helmet redecorated like a shark.
 * Oil Man --&gt; Flash Man - Colour is changed to red and the helmet is altered a bit to cover the mouth.
