All spoilers for Mega Man X2 may be unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Mega Man X3 is the third entry in the Mega Man X series, released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System on December 1995 in Japan, January 1996 in North America, and July 1996 in Europe. It was later ported to the PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and PC with anime cutscenes and Redbook Audio soundtrack added in. The SNES version is included with the first Mega Man X Legacy Collection for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.In the year 21XX, several months after the previous game, the Maverick Hunters have finally wiped out Sigma's rebellion. Additionally, Sigma's true nature as the Sigma Virus has been revealed, and a Reploid scientist named Dr. Doppler succeeded in creating a cure to save virus-infected Mavericks. Advanced Reploids and grateful ex-Mavericks from far and wide join Doppler in founding Dopple Town, a utopia for Reploids to live without fear of losing control.After just a few months, the Mavericks who had been cured begin to riot. The world realizes none other than Dr. Doppler is masterminding this revolt. With no other choice, X and Zero must band together to stop Doppler and his new Maverick revolution. However, X and Zero will learn that there is more to Doppler than meets the eye...The game is again something of a Mission-Pack Sequel to Mega Man X2, playing almost exactly the same as its predecessor. Major differences include the interference of Bit and Byte in stages, traps set up by a resurrected Vile, enhancement Chips on top of Armor Parts, and a more in-depth Ride Armor system.The eight Maverick bosses for this game are all servants of the Doppler Army, either of their own free will or due to the influence of the Sigma Virus: Blast Hornet, of the 0th Special Unit. X earns Parasitic Bomb from him. Blizzard Buffalo, a former ski slope officer. X earns Frost Shield from him. Toxic Seahorse, a stealth operative. X earns Acid Burst from him. Tunnel Rhino, a former miner. X earns Tornado Fang from him. Volt Catfish, a former emergency generator. X earns Triad Thunder from him. Crush Crawfish, a defective military Reploid. X earns Spinning Blade from him. Neon Tiger, a former poacher hunter. X earns Ray Splasher from him. Gravity Beetle, of the 17th Elite Unit. X earns Gravity Well from him. | |

Early Game Hell | |
| Mega Man X3 (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: X3 is probably one of the hardest games in the series to start off, since an unarmored X takes extreme amounts of damage while various enemies can take a truckload of punishment in return. On top of that, in common with Minakuchi Engineering's other Mega Man titles (the games they worked on tend to be a bit tougher in general), the game can be very stingy when it comes to life energy refills, which can make it a chore to charge up your sub-tanks, although having Frost Shield helps farm life energy from enemies. Things start to even out once you get more upgrades and Heart Tanks, thankfully. | |

Dr. Doppler used to be a benevolent scientist working for a cure for the Maverick Virus, only to end up using it to take control of Dopplertown. Subverted in that he was Brainwashed and Crazy by Sigma, and he helps bring an end to Sigma. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Mega Man X3 (Video Game) / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: Dr. Doppler's supposed cure for Mavericks differs from source to source: The game's opening narration claims Doppler could "suppress" Maverick behavior using his Neuro Computer, making it sound like a mental influence that could override the Sigma Virus or other abberations. The English game manual claims Doppler created an "anti-virus", implying a program that could delete the Sigma Virus. The game's Legacy Collection blurb claims Doppler created a "counteractive virus" that could flush out the Sigma Virus. The Maverick Hunter's Field Guide book claims Doppler created a "vaccine", implying something that could make Reploids immune to the Sigma Virus. It's also how he does it in the Rockman X3 manga. Since Doppler uses a real vaccine against Sigma in the game's ending, this is likely the canon explanation, but it still hasn't been 100% confirmed. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The game's ending has shades of this; Sigma is defeated and seemingly killed for good by Dr. Doppler's antivirus, but Doppler had to perform a Heroic Sacrifice in order to ensure it workednote This scenario only occurs if Zero is incapacitated for the rest of the game. The English ending also states that Zero has the potential to become a threat and that one day in the future, X will have to destroy him. | |

Game Mod | |
| Mega Man X3 (Video Game) / int_45bf382b | comment |
Game Mod: The Mega Man X3 - Zero Project by Justin3009 and various contributors is a large-scale ROM hack of the SNES version of the game that, aside from overhauling Zero's presence as a playable character, it also features multiple gameplay improvements, replaces the password system with a save feature à la its 32-bit ports (as of v4.1), and a New Game Plus feature (also new to v4.1). A MSU-1 patch by DarkShock is available, which allows the game to play the remixed CD soundtrack from the 32-bit ports onto the original SNES version, even on original hardware with a SD2SNES flashcart. | |

| Mega Man X3 (Video Game) / int_4c709317 | comment |
Useless Useful Spell: Gravity Well is an unavoidable One-Hit Kill weapon on enemies... if they're affected by it. This only affects most smaller enemies and larger ones don't take even a shred of damage. Even Parasitic Bomb, the other situational weapon, has a wider range of enemies it can One-Hit Kill, and still deals minor damage if it fails to destroy something. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Mega Man X3 (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Zero's first outing as a playable character sees him play very differently than he would in later titles. His main form of attack is the Z-Buster instead of the Z-Saber, which makes him play almost identically to X; while the Z-Saber only comes into play as a fourth-level charge attack where Zero performs a single sword slash (albeit a very powerful one). And as noted above, he can't fight most of the bosses and becomes unusable for the rest of the game if he dies at all. While Zero's playstyle would be completely reworked from Mega Man X4 onward, a few elements from this game would carry over to future games, such as his Glass Cannon status and charged-up sword strikes. | |

Filler Villain: Doppler only appears in this game and is just a brainwashed minion for Sigma. His discovering the Sigma Virus is irrelevant since its existence was already revealed at the end of X2, and Sigma recovers from Doppler’s antivirus offscreen before X4, so his work has no bearing on the rest of the series. | |

Permanently Missable Content: If you let Zero die at any time during the game, or skip or defeat Vile MK-2 in one of three stages he appears in with any weapon other than his weakness, X will no longer be able to get the Beam Saber through conventional gameplay. It's possible to manipulate the password system to enable the saber and Vile, however. If X gets any one of the individual armor Chips, he cannot get the Hyper Chip that gives him all the Chip powers. Again, manipulating the password system can still enable up to three of the upgrade Chips. | |

Dub-Induced Plot Hole | |
| Mega Man X3 (Video Game) / int_6a85e9e1 | comment |
Dub-Induced Plot Hole: An infamous one, almost as bad as Mega Man 7's American Kirby Is Hard Core ending change. X wonders about his fate, and the narrator says his fate has already been decided: "To save mankind, he must destroy Zero." The original Japanese says that X and Zero will fight at some point, but no indication it's to the death. Luckily, Mega Man X4 backpedals this to a mere conflict so the fight in Mega Man X5 makes more sense. Ironically, the English version was true after all, since the backstory of the Mega Man Zero series reveals that Zero's body was engineered into Omega, a horrific weapon of mass destruction that nearly wiped out all life on earth. | |

| Mega Man X3 (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: The Hyper Chip requires, on top of intentionally not upgrading yourself, falling down a seemingly bottomless pit and walking through an unmarked invisible wall segment while at full health. For X to get Zero's sword, you have to select Zero to fight a miniboss in one of the last levels — every other time in the game, if you try to enter a boss door, Zero will just switch out back to X automatically. Beating this miniboss causes it to crash-land on Zero and incapacitate him in a cutscene. | |

Crutch Character | |
| Mega Man X3 (Video Game) / int_7deb3fb1 | comment |
Crutch Character: Zero is more powerful than X, which helps the Early Game Hell quite a bit. However, he can only be called upon once per stage, he cannot fight the majority of the bosses, and if his health runs out, then he'll sit the rest of the game out. That said, X will gradually outclass him if you focus on getting his support items and upgrades, to the point where the only thing that makes Zero stand out is his devastating Beam Sabre, and even that can be obtained by X if Zero fights Mosquitus (the only boss he could fight in the game). | |

Mini-Boss | |
| Mega Man X3 (Video Game) / int_8a88ed49 | comment |
Mini-Boss: Genjibo and Shurikein, a firefly projector and its Hardlight star-like projection fought in Blast Hornet's stage. The former is The Unfought, as it flees after spawning Shurikein. Hotareeca, a jellyfish boss faced underwater in Toxic Seahorse's stage which drops mines and fires homing missiles. Hell Crusher, a mining bot fought in Tunnel Rhino's stage which attempts to charge at X, and if X attempts to Wall Jump, use its extendable arms to hang on the ceiling and try to impale X. Worm Seeker-R, a centipede boss in Neon Tiger's stage that drops bouncing bombs and burrows around the miniboss room. Rex-2000, a walker robot in the first Doppler stage that fires homing missiles. It's also fought in a room with a Descending Ceiling filled with spikes, and if Zero is alive, he'll help to destroy the machine causing the ceiling to descend. Mosquitus, a mosquito boss in the second Doppler stage. It can only be fought if Vile was killed earlier, is the only miniboss that can be fought with Zero, and beating it with Zero gives X the Z-Saber. | |

Loads and Loads of Loading: The Sega Saturn port got hit bad with this. Every single time the game needs to load, whether it's loading a cutscene or loading a level, it lasts for intervals of 30 seconds. The PS1 and PC ports have comparatively shorter loading times in contrast, and loading was eradicated altogether in the X Collection port. | |

Route Boss: The Doppler stage bosses are different depending on how X deals with Bit, Byte, and Vile. If X kills both Bit and Byte by using their weaknesses against them before reaching Doppler's stages then X will face Press Disposer instead of the duo's Fused form Godkarmachine O Inary. If X kills Vile with his weakness before Doppler, then Volt Kuragiel will be fought in place of another fight with Vile. | |

If you let Zero die at any time during the game, or skip or defeat Vile MK-2 in one of three stages he appears in with any weapon other than his weakness, X will no longer be able to get the Beam Saber through conventional gameplay. It's possible to manipulate the password system to enable the saber and Vile, however. | |

Lost in Translation | |
| Mega Man X3 (Video Game) / int_b7920c43 | comment |
Lost in Translation: Aside from the screw-up with the ending text, the game's English translation is a lot more faithful to the Japanese original than the previous game was. One major change is that in the Japanese version, Vile is established to be completely Ax-Crazy, to the point where even Dr. Doppler is afraid of him. In the English version, this is reduced to Vile insisting on going out to attack X rather than staying to defend Doppler's lab, with Doppler himself not having much of a reaction other than being worried Vile will screw it up by being too impetuous. | |

A.I. Breaker: Blizzard Buffalo seems to be afraid of X's crotch, and can be manipulated into turning away from him if you partially jump over him. It seems he wasn't designed to be able to look up. If you're in the air when he turns around, he can't see you. It would seem, in addition, that his AI has no object permanence. Neon Tiger will Wall Jump every time you hit him with the Spinning Blade. Hit him once, turn around and fire. Repeat until you have one dead tiger. This was certainly intentional. Toxic Seahorse will try to Goomba Stomp when shot by a Frost Shield. Dash away then fire another Frost Shield. His Mercy Invincibility is long enough that he can attack briefly, though (although a Good Bad Bug lets you shoot him repeatedly on the way down). | |

Anti-Frustration Features: Zero is available as a backup character to help alleviate the game's grueling difficulty, as he has his own separate (and higher) health bar from X, can charge up his buster shot to two levels, and his own distinct and deadly Z-Saber move.

Unlike that game, where he was also a Giant Space Flea from Nowhere, in this one his presence is pretty clearly hinted at as soon as the first cutscene involving Dr. Doppler (which happens after you defeat two of the Mavericks), and then outright stated by Dr. Cain once you've cleared all eight Mavericks. | |

Humongous Mecha | |
| Mega Man X3 (Video Game) / int_e6f18344 | comment |
Humongous Mecha: Maoh the Giant, the giant robot that X fights at the end of the intro stage. While not as big as CF-0, Maoh still towers over X and is armed with wrecking balls for arms. He's still a pretty easy boss to fight. | |

Descending Ceiling | |
| Mega Man X3 (Video Game) / int_ea826f60 | comment |
Rex-2000, a walker robot in the first Doppler stage that fires homing missiles. It's also fought in a room with a Descending Ceiling filled with spikes, and if Zero is alive, he'll help to destroy the machine causing the ceiling to descend. | |

Wall Jump | |
| Mega Man X3 (Video Game) / int_eee721fd | comment |
Hell Crusher, a mining bot fought in Tunnel Rhino's stage which attempts to charge at X, and if X attempts to Wall Jump, use its extendable arms to hang on the ceiling and try to impale X. | |

Oddball in the Series | |
| Mega Man X3 (Video Game) / int_f068cba | comment |
Oddball in the Series: Whereas the other games in the series were developed by Capcom alone, this one was mostly handled by Minakuchi Engineering, with Capcom only being responsible for the story, character designs, and general structure of the game. | |

Script Breaking | |
| Mega Man X3 (Video Game) / int_f75c8193 | comment |
Script Breaking: There's a glitch in the Japan-only PSX port that lets you go to Doppler's fortress early. Unsurprisingly, there's no clause in the game code to count Bit and Byte as dead in the Maverick levels if you kill them in the Doppler levels since you aren't supposed to be able to do those things in that order in the first place. | |

Zero's Beam Saber requires that you fatally defeat Vile before the Doppler stages by using his weakness and use Zero to enter the door to a miniboss in Doppler's second stage and defeat the boss using Zero. | |

Cutscene Power to the Max | |
| Mega Man X3 (Video Game) / int_fe262584 | comment |
Cutscene Power to the Max: In the PS1 port's opening cutscene, we can see X shoot down two Bee Bladers (and later a Utoboros miniboss from Launch Octopus' stage) with a single charge shot, and summon both of his armors from the previous two games on a whim, in addition to Zero slicing Vile in half with one swipe of his Z-Saber. Blast Hornet's cutscene also shows he has command over a Kill Sat that decimates an entire city into smoldering rubble. In-game, he has no such attack at his disposal. Gravity Beetle's black hole abilities and mobility are also shown to be much more destructive and faster in his intro cutscene than what's shown in-game. | |

Situational Damage Attack | |
| Mega Man X3 (Video Game) / int_fef3305b | comment |
Situational Damage Attack: Parasitic Bomb is a One-Hit Kill on most small/medium-sized enemies as it will latch onto them and render them useless before exploding them. Against enemies that can't be parasitized, it explodes on contact for measly damage. | |
