Dr. Wily is at it again! This time, he's set up an oil rig in the middle of the ocean and is drilling deep down to the earth's magma core. The reason? He plans to use the incredible power generated to fuel his latest diabolical robot creation! Of course, only Mega Man can stop him!
Mega Man III follows the tradition of the previous Game Boy games - you must run, jump and blast your way through four boss worlds. After defeating the four bosses, you will encounter an intermission level. Once this level is beaten, you face four more bosses, then move on to the final showdown with Dr. Wily. The Mega Buster, a powerful cannon from Mega Man 4, can be charged up by holding down the B Button, allowing for a more powerful shot.
The game features a total of eight unique robot characters: Snake Man, Gemini Man, Shadow Man, Spark Man, Dust Man, Skull Man, Dive Man, and Drill Man, as well as the Game Boy exclusive boss Punk, who uses screw-like weapons to attack. With its mix of action and adventure gameplay, Mega Man III provides hours of challenging fun.
