The third of the five Mega Man entries on the Game Boy, Mega Man III (known as Rockman World 3 in Japan) gets things back on track after the oddness of Mega Man II. It helped that Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge developer Minakuchi Engineering was reinstated as the Game Boy series' developer for this and the subsequent two outings.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Dr. Wily's latest scheme has seen him hijack a supercomputer that governs daily life across the world, causing abnormal weather, transportation failures, and other such chaos. If that weren't enough, he also sends out an army of robots to cause chaos and mayhem, and as per usual Mega Man sets out to stop him. In his way are eight rebuilt Robot Masters, along with Wily's second attempt at creating a Mega Man Killer, Punk.Mega Man III combines the expanded campaign from Mega Man II with the polish, execution and difficulty of Dr. Wily's Revenge, and as such is generally regarded as a better game than both of its two predecessors, albeit not quite up to the standards of the two following entries. The gameplay is pretty much identical to the NES Mega Man 4, meaning that the Charge Shot is added to Mega Man's repertoire for this outing.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Robot Masters from Mega Man 3: DWN-019: Gemini Man, gives the Gemini Laser DWN-022: Snake Man, gives the Search Snake DWN-023: Spark Man, gives the Spark Shock DWN-024: Shadow Man, gives the Shadow BladeRobot Masters from Mega Man 4: DWN-027: Drill Man, gives the Drill Bomb DWN-030: Dust Man, gives the Dust Crusher DWN-031: Dive Man, gives the Dive Missile DWN-032: Skull Man, gives the Skull BarrierThe remaining Robot Masters from 4 NES were held over until the following Game Boy outing.New for this game: MKN-002: Punk, gives the Screw Crusher | |

| Mega Man III (Video Game) / int_105f4bd9 | comment |
Villain: Exit, Stage Left: After his defeat, Dr. Wily escapes Mega Man via a conveniently-placed hatch in the floor. His UFO escapes the self-destructing Wily Station, only to drop into the sea with a skull-shaped mushroom cloud. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Mega Man III (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: None of the storyline is explained in the game, which seamlessly hides the fact that the Western storyline is completely different (with Wily instead trying to harness the energy of Earth's core via his Wily Station, wih no mention of the supercomputer subplot). | |

Deadly Disc: Punk's Screw Crusher, which is thrown in an arc and has a high ammunition level. Considering it's the only weapon that can beat the Final Boss's second form, you'll need it. | |

Sequel Escalation | |
| Mega Man III (Video Game) / int_391d6577 | comment |
Sequel Escalation: Actually a little less than in the previous game, but there is a proper boss select screen for the Mega Man 4 Robot Masters, instead of the teleporting hatches in the previous game. This, incidentally, makes Mega Man III the only one of the Game Boy entries not to have a teleporter room. | |

Recurring Boss: Giant Suzy antagonizes Mega Man twice; first at the start of the Wily Castle (before encountering the second set of Robot Masters), and again near the end of the Wily Station. | |

| Mega Man III (Video Game) / int_3f1aadeb | comment |
Strictly Formula: By now the Game Boy sub-series was settling into a pretty recognisable format (despite the lack of an Astral Finale that was present in the other games), though the following game would shake it up a little (and Mega Man V would shake it up a lot). | |

Ability Required to Proceed | |
| Mega Man III (Video Game) / int_3f2503af | comment |
Ability Required to Proceed: Most of the second set of Robot Master stages require the use of the Rush Coil or Rush Jet to proceed. Notably, Dust Man's stage requires using Rush Coil over a long bed of spikes — and using Rush Jet to fly over it isn't an option because defeating Dust Man is the only way to get it. | |

Contractual Boss Immunity | |
| Mega Man III (Video Game) / int_5bb56482 | comment |
Contractual Boss Immunity: Like Enker before him, Punk is only vulnerable to the Mega Buster; all other weapons are useless on him. This also applies to the Wily Machine, which is only damaged by charged Mega Buster shots in its first form, and the Screw Crusher in its second. | |

Nintendo Hard | |
| Mega Man III (Video Game) / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: Oh yes. Though the Mega Man series is this in general, III is often considered to be the hardest game in the Game Boy series, if not the franchise itself. It's usually considered a toss-up between this game, which has extremely tough level design bordering on outright Platform Hell in the second half, and Dr. Wily's Revenge, which is shorter and has slightly easier levels, but no Charge Shot, no energy tanks, very few item drops, and no Rush equivalent until you get to the first Wily stage. | |

Marathon Level | |
| Mega Man III (Video Game) / int_6dc206c9 | comment |
Marathon Level: The Wily Station stage is far and away the longest stage in the game, with no breaks to be found at all. Even worse is that another Giant Suzy (previously fought as a boss between each set of Robot Masters) has to be fought near the end. | |

Crutch Character: The Shadow Blade is downgraded to this, compared to the NES game. It kills most enemies in the first four stages in 1-2 hits, but is far less effective on the enemies from Mega Man 4. | |

Clipped-Wing Angel | |
| Mega Man III (Video Game) / int_91f5e99c | comment |
Clipped-Wing Angel: The final form of the Wily Machine has only one easily-dodged attack that deals a pittance of damage, especially compared to the first form. It also remains stationary, again contrasting its first form. On the flip side, only one weapon can harm it and the challenge comes from trying to hit him with it, but even then a player's not likely to run out of ammo. | |

| Mega Man III (Video Game) / int_b24ce4b2 | comment |
Rearrange the Song: After the mixed (to say the least) reception of the previous game's almost entirely original soundtrack, this game went back to the Dr. Wily's Revenge approach and mostly used remixed music from the NES entries, with a few new original themes along the way. | |

11th-Hour Superpower: The Screw Crusher is this game's unique weapon, and it boasts high ammunition, effective on a number of enemies, and is the only weapon that can damage the Final Boss. Like the past two games, though, you're only given the chance to use it in the final stage, and it isn't saved with passwords (though by getting a Game Over and returning to the stage select, it can be brought into the second set of Robot Master stages). | |
