Mega Man X3 begins with Dr. Doppler creating a new city for Reploids, which would bring about a new era of peace between Reploids and humans. However, something goes awry, and Mavericks start appearing everywhere. It's up to X and Zero to uncover the truth behind this Maverick revolt and put an end to it.
The gameplay in Mega Man X3 is similar to previous titles, with X facing off against various Mavericks. For the first time in the series, players can control Zero , but his movements are restricted to about one third of each level, and he has only one life.
