Mega Man 3 for the NES was actually the first Mega Man game I have ever played. In this installment, Dr. Wily, learning the error of his ways from the last two games, teams up with Dr. Light to build Gamma, a peace-keeping robot. However, the eight Robot Masters sent to mining worlds to find the power crystals needed to power Gamma go berserk and keep the crystals to themselves, Mega Man goes to stop them, being teamed up with robot canine Rush, although he confronts a mysterious Break Man, who inhibits powers similar to the Blue Bomber.
The third entry, this is a good game (although Inafune has said the game was released before the team thought it was ready). The run and gun gameplay from the first two games return, and the game retains the ability to copy the weapons of defeated foes, but Mega Man 3 introduces a lot of changes. One of them is the ability to slide, which allows Mega Man to slide down narrow paths that hide power-ups or serve as shortcuts. Another addition is Rush, Mega Man's robot dog who serves as the replacement for the items from the second game, as he is used for transport, starting off with Rush Coil, but gaining the ability to become a submarine and the iconic Rush Jet after beating certain Robot Masters.
With more levels, a neat soundtrack, new characters who would become mainstays, and new mechanics to use, Mega Man 3 is a great installment, and is worth checking out.
