Mega Man XZ: The Maverick Hunters

MEGA MAN 3

Mega Man 3

Dr Wily just doesn't know when to quit. After tricking Dr Light into believing that his evil days were behind him, Dr Wily developed a new special robot designed especially for war. In his usual evil ways, he also created eight brand-new Robot Masters to finish Mega Man off once and for all. This time it seemed that Dr Wily would surely succeed in world domination, but Mega Man - along with his new robotic K9 partner Rush - had other things in mind, it was time Dr Wily was shut down for good.

Most of the game is relatively difficult, you'll probably find certain sections quite hard, so be ready for a challenge. This time Mega Man can slide along the ground (Down + A), this move can also act as a ducking technique. Below is a boss chart, weapons descriptions, as well as the special Rush abilities and the final passcode of the game.

You have this from the beginning of the game. When you use this item, Rush will appear in front of Mega Man and when you jump on his back he will spring Mega Man up to reach higher platforms.
Rush Marine Rush Marine
You will receive this after defeating a certain boss. This will make Rush become a submarine in water and can carry Mega Man through the water areas of Gemini Man's stage. Be careful though, as once the energy bar runs out, the submarine will disappear.
Rush Jet Rush Jet
You receive this when you defeat Needle Man. This allows Rush to become a flying sled which Mega Man can ride on to fly over dangerous areas or reach higher platforms. Similar to the Rush Marine, as you fly on Rush the energy bar will slowly run out.
