3<a href="#cite_note-9">[a]</a> (stylized as Mega Man III) is a 1990 <a href="/wiki/Action_game" title="Action game">action</a>-<a href="/wiki/Platformer" title="Platformer">platform game</a> developed and published by <a href="/wiki/Capcom" title="Capcom">Capcom</a> for the <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System" title="Nintendo Entertainment System">Nintendo Entertainment System</a>. It is the third game of the <a href="/wiki/Mega_Man" title="Mega Man">original Mega Man series</a> and was originally released in Japan on September 28, 1990. The game was released in North America later in 1990 and in European regions by <a href="/wiki/Nintendo" title="Nintendo">Nintendo</a> in 1992. Taking place after the events of <a href="/wiki/Mega_Man_2" title="Mega Man 2">Mega Man 2</a>, the plot follows the <a href="/wiki/Mega_Man_(character)" title="Mega Man (character)">titular hero</a> as he helps his creator, <a href="/wiki/List_of_Mega_Man_characters#Dr._Light" title="List of Mega Man characters">Dr. Light</a>, and a supposedly former enemy, <a href="/wiki/Dr._Wily" title="Dr. Wily">Dr. Wily</a>, collect parts for a peace-keeping robot by defeating several <a href="/wiki/List_of_Mega_Man_characters#Robot_Masters" title="List of Mega Man characters">Robot Masters</a> that have gone haywire. An <a href="/wiki/Action_game" title="Action game">action</a>-<a href="/wiki/Platformer" title="Platformer">platform</a> game, Mega Man 3 follows the same format set forth by its two predecessors. The player, as Mega Man, must complete a series of stages in any order. Defeating a stage's boss will earn the player its special weapon, which can be selected and used at will throughout the rest of the game. Mega Man 3 introduces new gameplay elements such as Mega Man's canine sidekick <a href="/wiki/List_of_Mega_Man_characters" title="List of Mega Man characters">Rush</a> and the ability to slide along the ground. Unlike the first two installments of the series, artist and designer <a href="/wiki/Keiji_Inafune" title="Keiji Inafune">Keiji Inafune</a> has considered the creation of Mega Man 3 to be very stressful due to time constraints and his own increased responsibilities during its development. Following the success of Mega Man 2 released two years earlier, Mega Man 3 has sold 1.17 million copies and has been positively received in critical reviews. Its presentation and gameplay have been especially praised, although many sources found the game to be too <a href="/wiki/Difficulty_level" class="mw-redirect" title="Difficulty level">difficult</a>. Like other titles in the series, Mega Man 3 has been re-released several times on other gaming platforms, on <a href="/wiki/Mobile_phone" title="Mobile phone">mobile phones</a>, and as part of various Mega Man franchise compilations.<a href="#cite_note-IGN-10">[9]</a> A sequel, <a href="/wiki/Mega_Man_4" title="Mega Man 4">Mega Man 4</a>, was released in 1991. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plot">Plot</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Mega_Man_3&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Plot">edit</a>]</div> Mega Man 3 takes place during an unspecified year during the 21st century (20XX). 2-3 months after <a href="/wiki/Mega_Man_2" title="Mega Man 2">Mega Man 2</a>, the mad scientist <a href="/wiki/Doctor_Wily" class="mw-redirect" title="Doctor Wily">Dr. Wily</a>, having twice had plans for world domination dashed, claims to have reformed and begins work with <a href="/wiki/List_of_Mega_Man_characters#Dr._Light" title="List of Mega Man characters">Dr. Light</a> on a project to build a peace-keeping robot named "Gamma".<a href="#cite_note-nprev-11">[10]</a> <a href="/wiki/List_of_Mega_Man_characters#Robot_Masters" title="List of Mega Man characters">Robot Masters</a> – Top Man, Shadow Man, Spark Man, Magnet Man, Hard Man, Snake Man, Gemini Man, and Needle Man – in charge of a set of "mining worlds", however, go berserk and make off with Gamma's eight power crystals.<a href="#cite_note-gameprorev-12">[11]</a> Mega Man is called into action, this time with a canine companion named Rush, to retrieve the crystals from the sites.<a href="#cite_note-manual-13">[12]</a> Throughout his mission, the protagonist continuously encounters and spars with Break Man, a masked foe who has abilities comparable to Mega Man's own.<a href="#cite_note-nprev-11">[10]</a> After Mega Man destroys the eight Robot Masters, he then revisits four of the mining sites to face off against eight "Doc Robots", who possess the abilities of the Robot Masters from Mega Man's <a href="/wiki/Mega_Man_2" title="Mega Man 2">previous mission</a>.

Inafune concluded, "I knew that if we had more time to polish it, we could do a lot of things better, make it a better game, but the company said that we needed to release it. The whole environment behind what went into the production of the game is what I least favored. Numbers one and two – I really wanted to make the games; I was so excited about them. Number three – it just turned very different."<a href="#cite_note-inafuneinterview-19">[18]</a> Mega Man 3 brought new characters and gameplay mechanics to the franchise. Though Inafune considers the gameplay to have lost some of its simplicity, he felt Mega Man's slide ability was successfully implemented to enhance the player's control while battling enemies.<a href="#cite_note-r20-2">[2]</a> Mega Man's sidekick dog Rush was designed by combining the functionality of three support tools from Mega Man 2, which would ease the player's navigation of stages.<a href="#cite_note-r20-2">[2]</a> In addition to the Marine and Coil modes, Rush was originally intended to have a "drill" mode that would allow Mega Man to tunnel underground.<a href="#cite_note-r20-2-21">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-tgs07-22">[21]</a> Another new character, Proto Man, was introduced in a way that the player would be unable to tell if he was an ally or an enemy to Mega Man.<a href="#cite_note-r20-2">[2]</a> His design was influenced by <a href="/wiki/Anime" title="Anime">anime</a>, and he was given both a scarf and shield to make him appear "tougher" than Mega Man.<a href="#cite_note-r20-2">[2]</a> The design team wanted Proto Man to sport uncovered hair, but they instead opted for an open-faced helmet illustration for both the television commercials and instruction manual.<a href="#cite_note-r20-2-21">[20]</a> Proto Man's original Japanese name, Blues, was changed by Capcom's North American division despite Inafune's protests. Capcom did this not only to be consistent with Rockman's English name, but because they thought that the name Blues made no sense. Inafune attempted to defend it due to the name's <a href="/wiki/Blues" title="Blues">musical connotation</a> to character names in the series.<a href="#cite_note-playmag-23">[22]</a> Though Rush and Proto Man were created solely by the developer, Capcom sought ideas from fans for the creation of the game's Robot Masters as they had done with Mega Man 2.<a href="#cite_note-tgs07-22">[21]</a> The team received around 50,000 design submissions for Mega Man 3, only eight of which were used in the game.<a href="#cite_note-r20-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-24">[23]</a> Harumi Fujita, credited as "Mrs. Tarumi", was the initial composer of the game, but she only completed a few songs before giving birth and having to drop off the project.<a href="#cite_note-25">[24]</a> She composed the songs ‘Needle Man’, ‘Gemini Man’ and ‘Staff Roll’.<a href="#cite_note-26">[25]</a> Capcom composer <a href="/wiki/Yasuaki_Fujita" title="Yasuaki Fujita">Yasuaki Fujita</a>, also known as "Bun Bun" was then

One of the biggest differences was that <a href="/wiki/Super_Adventure_Rockman" title="Super Adventure Rockman">Super Adventure Rockman</a> was adapted into the continuity prior to this game; as such, the Mega Man 3 Robot Masters debut in that adaptation. This also results in Shadow Man's ruins of origin being made the Lanfront Ruins of Super Adventure Rockman and connecting his history to that of Ra Moon; a flashback featured in the "Legends of the Blue Bomber" arc reveals that his history is also connected with the mysterious robot who fights Duo in the beginning of <a href="/wiki/Mega_Man_8" title="Mega Man 8">Mega Man 8</a>.
