Mega man 3 takes 2 steps forward and 3 steps back. The slide and rush are fantastic additions to mega mans move set. The robot masters stages are peak mega man up to this point, but the doc robot remixes feel unnecessarily hard and not getting there abilities after beating them makes there inclusion feel like padding. The Wily stages are shorter than normal but I found them to be the best designed Wily castle so far. Protoman is a another great addition to the series as well. Mega man 3 is a game that is so close to being better than mega man 2 but the doc robots stages being incredibly frustrating knocks it down
