Beat all the Robot Masters and you can head to Dr. Wily is still the villain in Mega Man 10, the entirety of mankind screaming out for Mega Man to put a bullet between his eyes and save the Earth from its regularly-scheduled robotic onslaught.Īs usual in a Mega Man game, once you hit start you're given the choice of eight different stages to tackle, each of them with a themed Robot Master waiting at the end. You may have already realised this given that Dr.

#Mega man 3 bosses manual
With no intro to fill us in, we must look to the manual for Mega Man 3's story, although I'm certain most if not all of you are familiar with the core concepts of the Mega Man universe, i.e. Back then there was no chance of getting more than one videogame for my birthday, but as if by magic my grandmother called and said "I can't find that game you asked for, but they have this one called Mega Man 3 instead, is that okay?" It was most definitely okay, and almost enough to get me believing in some kind of cosmic wish-ordering miracle-type Noel Edmonds bullshit. I don't remember which one, but before my birthday rolled around I saw Mega Man 3 in a magazine (almost certainly Total!) and realised that no, this was the game I really wanted. I even have a story about how I came to own Mega Man 3: it wasn't released in Europe until 1992, so it was probably for my eighth birthday that I'd asked for a NES game. Still, I have a great fondness for it, probably because I've seen it more than almost any other videogame title screen. With scissors welded to his head.This is a very underwhelming title screen for what is definitely my favourite game in the Mega Man series, and there's no intro to go along with it, not even something like Mega Man 2's pan up to our hero posing on a rooftop. He was the exemplar of the game’s Rock(man)-Paper-Scissors mechanic.Ĭut Man is the hero who sacrificed himself to teach Mega Man the true lesson of success, just like so many small goofy-looking warriors before him. It also gave you the right bit of metal to short-circuit Elec Man’s otherwise ass-kicking powers. He took the most damage from the standard buster, but he blew apart in two hits from Guts Man’s rock-thrower and that was a revelation. This Robot Master is one of the weakest enemies in any game. No invisible walls preventing you from using a double-turbo wall-bounce to get to the first objective because you were meant to practice pressing the A button. We’re lucky we didn’t get Wonky Chair Man or Coffee Stain Master.Ĭut Man isn’t a threat but an action-packed exemplar of how games used to teach you things. But Capcom was so dedicated to violent danger that it made a man whose only function was “running with scissors.” Either that or the development team only had six bosses to build, and they still clearly sat stuck, looking around the office for something they could use. Or maybe he’s just distracted by the way his stage features huge bolts flying across the screen to screw into nuts, meaning he lives in a vast collection of robot pornography.Ĭut Man! The robot based on a random object in the very first game when there was no excuse for having run out of cool ideas. He could only deliver an ass-kicking if you’d been called away from your controller. He fires three homing tops but they move together with all the speed and ferocity of second-class postage.
And Top Man seems to know this, making sure you can kill him so that he doesn’t have to live with the shame. Even R.O.B., the worst robot Nintendo ever built, could spin tops. Top Man is a robotic killer revolving around a toy that isn’t just less powerful than robots, it’s less powerful than the Nintendo console the game was being played on. How many games would it take before you based one on a spinning top? For most humans, or even gorillas trained to recognize mechanical objects, this number has at least seven digits (or “ook ook OOOK >throws bananas<").įor Capcom it was 3. Imagine your childhood dream coming true! You’ve got a job designing badass robot villains for your favorite video game.
