Mega Man X3, known as Rockman X3 (ロックマンX3) in Japan, is the third entry in the main X series, released in 1995-1996 on the SNES and ported to the PlayStation, Sega Saturn and Windows at later dates. It is the final X game (though not the final Mega Man game) to be released on the SNES.
The game, developed by Capcom in cooporation with Minakuchi Engineering, sees X go up against a new foe in form of the reploid scientist Dr. Doppler, with Zero becoming playable for the first time. The 32-bit ports (of which only the Windows port was released in North America) add AMV cutscenes and a reworked soundtrack, but are otherwise largely identical.
Story
Dr. Doppler, a Reploid scientific genius, has managed to stop viral Maverick infections using an antibody he created. Thanks to this, a utopian city called Dopple Town was built, attracting worldwide attention. However, one day Doppler himself suddenly started a rebellion, with his creations the Nightmare Police following. Furthermore, the Hunter Base comes under attack during X's team's absence, who were resolving incidents elsewhere. What could Doppler's true intentions be?[1]
Characters
| Name | Sprite | Description |
|---|---|---|
| X | 
|
The protagonist of the story. He is the captain of the 17th Elite Unit of the Maverick Hunters, who destroy Maverick Reploids that harm humans. However, he is torn between his sense of duty to protect peace and his kindness, which makes him hesitant when destroying Mavericks.[2] |
| Zero | 
|
An SA-Class Maverick Hunter who is a good friend, ally, and friendly rival to X. He once sacrificed himself during a conflict with Sigma and was destroyed, but has made a miraculous recovery and now operates alongside X as the captain of the Special 0 Unit.[2] |
| Dr. Cain | 
|
The greatest authority on robotics in the 22nd century. He developed the Reploids, robots that are as human-like as possible, entirely revolutionizing the field of robotics. He is now the director of the Maverick Hunters, where he provides daily guidance and supports X from behind the scenes.[2] |
| Dr. Doppler | 
|
A Reploid developed to support human scientists. He has created an antibody virus that can eliminate Mavericks. However, his behavior began to change when he started researching a certain computer program. Now, it has come to this...[2] |
| Bit | 
|
The smaller of the Nightmare Police, serving as Dr. Doppler's right-hand-man. His design was based on the most powerful Reploids around the world, emphasizing speed over strength.[3] |
| Byte | 
|
The larger of the Nightmare Police, serving directly under Dr. Doppler. His design emphasizes strength over speed, and he works well alongside Bit.[3] |
| Vile MK-II | 
|
Formerly an SA-Class Hunter in the 17th Elite Unit of the Maverick Hunters, until he rebelled alongside Sigma and was destroyed by X... or so he thought. However, he has returned from hell in a bid to achieve his long-held wish of destroying X in a fit of revenge.[2] |
| Sigma | 
|
Sigma was once the leader of X's 17th Unit and the most powerful of all Reploids. Twice he has started rebellions to crush humanity and create a world just for Reploids, but each time X has halted his plans and destroyed him. Surely all that is left of him now is burnt scrap under a pile of rubble...[4] |
| Mac | 
|
A Maverick Hunter who betrays X, plotting to kidnap him for Dr. Doppler. |
| Dr. Light | 
|
The creator of X, who has left Light Capsules to deliver him Armor Parts years after his own passing. |

4 (contact) 2 (spikes) |
Safari Park Stage |
Minibosses
Occasionally, X may encounter very powerful enemies throughout the stages, which are located behind boss doors and prevent him from progressing until they are defeated. As Zero normally will not pass through these doors, most minibosses cannot be fought as him, with the exception of Mac (who is fought at a point when the player can only control Zero) and Mosquitus.
| Name | Sprite | Description | HP | Damage | Stage(s) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hell Crusher | 
|
Drives forward and rams the wall, which causes X to fall down if he is climbing on it. It may also separate its torso from its base, attaching the former to the ceiling and launching a claw forward while the base continues to ram. X can stand on the separated base, though its sides will still hurt him. Only the Hell Crusher's torso can be damaged. | 32 | 2 (contact) 3 (claw) |
Quarry Stage |
| Hotareeca | 
|
A robotic jellyfish that moves around and fires three successive torpedoes in an arc, or disperses six mines one by one, which sink and explode. Despite flailing around, its arms cannot hurt X. | 32 | 2 (contact) 2 (torpedoes) 3 (mines) |
Giant Dam Stage |
| Mac |
|
Occasionally jumps up or across the room, firing many small projectiles at Zero or a single larger one, which deals the same amount of damage. | 16 | 2 (contact) 2 (projectiles) |
Hunter Base |
| Mosquitus | 
|
Flies left and right and occasionally dives down at X/Zero. If it misses, it will instead drink from one of the coloured buckets on the floor, becoming that colour, or drain its current colour into that bucket if it is already coloured. By mixing different colours, lasting hazards are created on the ground:
Unlike other minibosses, Mosquitus can be fought by Zero, which leads to a cutscene that ends in the loss of Zero and X obtaining his Z-Saber. |
16 | 8 (contact) 2 (slime) 4 (other hazards) |
Doppler Stage B |
| REX-2000 | 
|
Walks back and forth, occasionally opening its mouth to fire many projectiles forward while releasing homing missiles, which can be destroyed. During the fight, the ceiling is collapsing; if Zero is alive, he will slow its collapse and stop it when the REX-2000 is destroyed. Otherwise, it collapses faster and a switch must be destroyed to stop it. | 11 (REX-2000) 2 (missiles) |
8 (contact) 4 (missiles) 2 (projectiles) |
Doppler Stage A |
| Shurikein and Genjibo |  
|
A holographic star created by the robot insect Genjibo. It alternates between two patterns, either rolling left and right very fast and jumping when shot at, or scaling the walls and ceiling more slowly. It pauses when changing patterns. | 18 | 3 | Weapons Factory Stage |
| Worm Seeker-R | 
|
A segmented worm that emerges from and disappears into the ceiling, walls and floor in various patterns, dropping two small spike balls, which bounce at different heights and disappear after a while or when shot at a few times. Only its head can be damaged. | 22 | 4 (contact) 2 (spike balls) |
Safari Park Stage |
Bit & Byte and Vile
After the 2nd main Maverick has been defeated, Bit, Byte and Vile MK-II spread out and can be encountered as minibosses in the Maverick stages. Bit, and later Byte, will appear in a designated room in a random stage and cannot be avoided, whereas Vile appears in his own sub-stage to be accessed via hidden teleporter, which can appear either in Volt Catfish's, Crush Crawfish's or Blizzard Buffalo's stage.
Using a weakness to land the final hit on any of these minibosses triggers their destruction and can prevent them from reappearing in upgraded boss forms in Dr. Doppler's fortress: If both Bit and Byte have been destroyed, the Godkarmachine O Inary boss is replaced with the Press Disposer, while Vile's destruction leads to the Goliath boss being replaced with Volt Kurageil, as well as Dr. Doppler stage 2 being drastically altered.

| Volt Kurageil | 
|
This boss is only fought if Vile was destroyed with a weakness in Vile Stage; otherwise, the Goliath will replace it. | Doppler Stage B | Frost Shield |
| Triad Thunder | ||||
| Goliath | 
|
A powerful Ride Armor piloted by Vile. The fight is very similar to Vile Mk-II's first phase in his own stage, but the arena is wider and the boss will create temporary walls that X can climb on. This boss is only fought if Vile was *not* destroyed with a weakness in his own stage; otherwise, Volt Kurageil will replace it. |

|
Doppler Stage C | Acid Burst | |
| Sigma |
|
Doppler Stage D | Frost Shield | |

| Sigma Virus | 
|
Sigma's true form floats upwards through a vertical shaft and causes lava to rise up from the bottom. It cannot be harmed and must simply be chased to the top, though it will try to ram into X to make him fall into the lava. | Doppler Stage D | N/A |
Weapons
By default, X wields the X-Buster. He can then collect Special Weapons by defeating the eight Maverick bosses, each with its own elemental alignment and properties. There are also two secret weapons: the Beam Saber and the Hyper Charge.
When playing as Zero, he uses his Z-Buster, performing similarly to X with the Arm Parts. He also wields the Beam Saber, though it does not emit a projectile, and he cannot use any Special Weapons.
| Name | Icon | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| X-Buster |  |
X's default weapon. It fires up to three shots horizontally, and can be charged up for a Charge Shot of two levels. Collecting the Arm Parts unlocks a third and fourth Charge Shot level. | Default |
| Beam Saber | Slashes once to fire a cutter projectile, as part of a Charge Shot 4. | Zero injured by Mosquitus | |
| Acid Burst |  |
Fires acid that splashes into droplets on surfaces. Can be aimed up or down. Charge Shot fires two acid blobs that bounce towards enemies. |
Toxic Seahorse |
| Parasitic Bomb |  |
Fires a mine that attaches to enemies; large enemies are stunned, whereas small enemies are carried by it to smash into other enemies. Charge Shot projects four crosshairs around X, which lock onto enemies and send bees after them. |
Blast Hornet |
| Triad Thunder |  |
Fires three dynamos in a triangle around X, which pass electricity before shooting outwards. Continuously firing prolongs the shot up to three times. Charge Shot has X punch the ground, emitting two balls of electricity. Destroys some objects. |
Volt Catfish |
| Spinning Blade |  |
Fires two flying saw blades that return backwards in arcs. Charge Shot fires a giant saw blade on a tether, which can be rotated around X. |
Crush Crawfish |
| Ray Splasher |  |
Fires seven light bullets in random trajectories. Charge Shot fires an orb upwards, which rapidly shoots light bullets in random directions. |
Neon Tiger |
| Gravity Well |  |
Fires a gravity drone that crushes nearby small or medium enemies. Charge Shot fires a gravity drone upwards off-screen, which causes low gravity that disposes of all enemies and can move certain platforms. |
Gravity Beetle |
| Frost Shield |  |
Fires an icicle that pauses before moving. On contact, it shatters and becomes a spike on the floor. Charge Shot sculpts an ice shield on the X-Buster, which eventually shatters into an ice spike that slides along the ground. If used underwater, it becomes a platform that rises to the surface. |
Blizzard Buffalo |
| Tornado Fang |  |
Fires a drill that pauses before moving. Up to three can be stacked. Can destroy some obstacles. Charge Shot extends a drill while the button is held, which destroys enemies and can grab walls. |
Tunnel Rhino |
| Hyper Charge |  |
Grants max X-Buster Charge Shots as long as it has Weapon Energy, which is consumed every shot. | Arm Chip |
