Mega Man 3/Enemies

Where possible, the actual, official enemy names have been used.

• Big Snakey - A giant snake-like head, found only in Snake Man's level. It spits 3 fireballs at a time, though if one studies its pattern they can find easy ways to avoid these. Despite his big, menacing appearance, he can be defeating pretty quickly and easily.

• Bikky

• Bomb Flier

• Bomber Pepe

• Bubukan

• Cannon - A shielded cannon that fires exploding balls a short distance. Not very tough to beat, but the cannon is only vulnerable while firing, making it tough to hit at the precise moment while dodging its projectiles.

• Chibee - A small bee that has no real attacks other than chasing Mega Man, these come from the beehives dropped by Have Su Bee. One shot from your cannon is all it takes to destroy one, though this can be tricky because they tend to attack in groups due to the way they are unleashed. Their name is a play on the Japanese word "Chibi", which means "small."

• Dada

• Electric Gabyoall

• Giant Metall

• Giant Springer - A huge slinky-like robot that fires seeking missiles. Can easily be taken out by rapid-fire techniques, though getting too close can cause him to "pop his top" and attempt to harm you. Its missiles are easily destroyed as well. Just rapid fire and you should be fine.

• Gyoraibo

• Hammer Joe - A green robot that throws Olympic-style hammers (ropes on the end of a ball) at you. He is only vulnerable when he opens his eye right before throwing. Fortunately, his hammers are easily slid under, though it can be tricks to get the precise timing down to shoot him.

• Hologran

• Jamacy

• Junk Block

• Junk Golem

• Komasaburo - A robot that shoots tops at Mega Man. Not too touch to beat, although his biggest strength is usually his position; he can rain tops down from higher ledges. Best bet is to destroy the tops that get in your way and fire away, as rapidly as possible.

• Mag Fly

• Mechakkero

• Metall DX

• Potton

• Returning Monking

• Nitron

• Hari Harry

• Needle Press

• Bolton and Nutton

• Parasyu

• Penpen

• Penpen Maker

• Peterchy - A giant eyeball with legs. Has no attacks whatsoever and can easily be destroyed with rapid-fire techniques. Just don't get cornered by them.

• Petit Snakey

• Pickelman Bull

• Pole

• Have "Su" Bee - A giant bee that drops beehives, unleashing Chibees that can chase Mega Man. As he is at the top of the screen you won't normally be able to attack him. Instead, just ignore him, focus on getting rid of the Chibees, and move on. Only found in Hard Man's stage, and the second stage of Skull Castle.

• New Shotman - A strange-looking cylindrical bot that fires 3 shots out to either side in a regular pattern, and fires overhead lobbing shots if one gets too close. Best bet is to destroy it from a distance, if possible. Otherwise, learn the pattern and avoid the shots the best you can.

• Elec'n

• Tama - A giant cat that throws yarn balls. Dodge the yarn balls (they can't be destroyed) and just rapid fire the cat. It usually goes down pretty fast.

• Walking Bomb - A grenade with legs. Easily destroyed with a single shot, but make sure you destroy them from far away, you can be harmed by the explosion from your taking him out.

• Wanaan - A claw that comes out from the ground on specific kinds of boxes found in certain levels. Can't be destroyed. Just slide past the tops of these blocks and you should dodge them all right.

• Yambow - A robotic dragonfly that tries to line up and attack you. When he gets to your height, just rapid fire him, you should be able to destroy him before he hits you. Otherwise, you can always try to slide or dodge its attack.
