Mega Man 3, known as Rockman 3: Dr. Wily no Saigo!? (ロックマン3 Dr.ワイリーの最期!? Rokkuman 3 Dokutā Wairī no Saigo!, which means "Rockman 3: The End of Dr. Wily!?") in Japan, is the third installment in the Famicom/NES Mega Man series. It was released in' Japan on September 28, 1990, the United States in November 1990, and Europe on February 20, 1992.
This game introduced Mega Man's "slide" maneuver, as well as Rush, Mega Man's robotic canine assistant, and Proto Man, Mega Man's "brother".
Story
In the twenty-first century, the world enjoys a brief period of peace thanks to the efforts of the super robot Mega Man. Dr. Wily claims he is a changed man, reforming and teaming up with Dr. Light to develop a giant "peace-keeping" robot named Gamma. It was the lifelong dream of Dr. Light to create a giant robot to protect and serve world peace. With their research almost complete, all that remained was to combine eight Energy Elements that were scattered about uncharted planets and bestow them to Gamma. For some reason, the newest Robot Masters created by both doctors to mine the energy elements suddenly have gone crazy. Dr. Light needs the eight Energy Elemenzs that the robots are protecting for the creation of Gamma, thus, when Mega Man learns about the incident, he and Rush set out for the uncharted planets to stop the robots and retrieve the energy elements.
Along his quest, Mega Man meets the mysterious Proto Man (under the alias of Break Man). Unknown to Mega Man, Proto Man is his brother, and he appears at times to challenge or help Mega Man. When Mega Man returns to Dr. Light's Laboratory, he discovers Dr. Wily has stolen Gamma on August 28 after receiving the last energy element to challenge Mega Man and Dr. Light once again, planning to use Gamma to rule the world. Mega Man goes to the Wily Castle to stop Wily. After Mega Man succeeds in stopping Wily and Gamma, the Wily Castle begins to collapse and both Mega Man and Dr. Wily are buried by debris. Proto Man arrives in time to save Mega Man, but it appears that it is too late for Dr. Wily and he meets his end. However, the Wily UFO is visible far in the distance during the ending sequence, hinting that he survived.
From the American manual
"Calling Mega Man! Calling Mega Man! Come in please!
"Mega Man, we need you! We're down to the wire on our peace-keeping project. We've got to get those last energy crystals or we can't finish it. Dr. Wily is here now, too...yes...he's finally found his sanity. He knows where the crystals are! They're in the mining worlds, but we can't get to 'em. The robots are running amok and they're destroying everything!
"You've got to get there, Mega Man, and get those crystals! You'll have to face some pretty mean metal. Expect the worst! Is Rush there with you? Give him a bolt to chew on and tell him it's from us. What's that...we must be getting static...sounds like you said 'Woof!'
"Mega Man, get to those mining worlds pronto! Grab the crystals and stop whoever's in charge! He's one lunatic guy!
"This is Dr. Light. Over and out!"

Doc Robot K-176
Doc Robot K-176 (ドクロボットK-176 Dokurobotto K-176) is an all-purpose robot from Mega Man 3 with a number of different attachments and devices on its body that can use the same abilities of other robots by switching its program data. After defeating the eight Robot Masters, Mega Man faces one Doc Robot eight times[Citation needed] in the stages of Needle Man, Gemini Man, Spark Man, and Shadow Man. On each battle, Doc Robot utilizes the program data of one of Dr. Wily’s eight Robot Masters from Mega Man 2.

Port differences:
Dr. Wily is misspelled "Dr. Wiley" in the NES
version, and the 3DS E-shop version.
At the end of the game, it shows the Robot Masters made by
Dr. Right instead of Dr. Light (Dr. Right being his Japanese name).
This was fixed in Mega Man: The Wily Wars and Mega Man
Anniversary Collection.
The mobile phone version had some differences:
Stage set-up was limited as background, color flicker and
flash were removed to help with the performance.
Traps in certain stages were removed for ease of play.
The Appearing Blocks in Magnet Man's stage were left in their order
for players to move with less hassle (the same applies to the revolving gears
and falling junk blocks in Spark Man's stage).
Proto Man does not appear in Gemini Man's stage to destroy
the barrier blocking the way for Mega Man; he is also in his Break Man
transformation during his mini-boss appearances in the original locations with
the Robot Masters' background music.
The enemy Hammer Joe is harder to defeat as its
sprite action kept the eye blinking rapidly leaving the only weak spot at its
legs.
The player has the freedom to fight both the Robot Masters
and the Doc Robots again when defeated by replaying their stages, as well as
being able to choose the levels in Wily's castle after their completion.
In the original version, several cheats can be activated
during the game using a second controller.
Holding RIGHT will cause the player to jump extremely high.
This also allows players to jump in and out of pits (but not spikes) without
harm. If an enemy passes over the player while they're in a pit, they'll lose
all their energy, but be invincible. Gaining any energy, whether through energy
pellets or energy tanks removes the invulnerability. While in this state, the
Mega Buster cannot be used (however, it can be used while using Rush
Coil and then shooting).
Holding UP will cause everything (including Mega Man) to be
in slow motion.
Holding UP and the A button will cause everything (including
Mega Man) to be frozen in place.
If the player uses the UP and A button trick on the second
controller after they beat the game and Mega Man beams down into Dr. Light's
lab, an extended version of Proto Man's song can be heard.
