Rockman 3 Endless Strategies
This page provides strategies for getting through difficult areas and screens in Rockman 3 Endless. If you have any suggestions for areas to be added to this page, and/or your own strategies for getting through them, feel free to contact me.
General Strategies
- This should go without saying, but be familiar with the original game. Every area is currently a modified version of an area that already appeared in the game, usually with additional traps and enemies.
- This is related to the previous tip, know the robot masters' weaknesses and patterns. The robot masters are very dangerous enemies when you encounter them without full energy, so knowing how the eliminate them quickly is vital.
- Jump continuously while riding Rush Jet to minimize the amount of energy it consumes. Rush Jet also consumes less energy than Rush Coil, so it is a better choice to reach areas too high to jump to.
- You can adjust your height while being carried by a Mag Fly by pressing up or down. Be careful moving down though, if you go too far you won't be carried along by it anymore.
- Rush Marine is nearly worthless because Rush Jet works just as well underwater as above. The only advantage that Rush Marine has is that it is slightly easier to maneuver because it isn't as tall as Mega Man riding Rush Jet.
- Two enemies make refilling your energy very easy. The first is Pole, the ghost freed from the eggs in Gemini Man's stage when you shoot them. The are usually many eggs on a single screen, so if you're persistent and destroy them all you should get plenty of life and weapon energy.
The second is Komasaburo, the humanoid robot that shoots tops from its stomach. Find a place where the tops can easily be shot without hitting you, and keep destroying them until you get energy. Both of these take a little time, but having full energy is very important, especially before facing the robot masters.
Area-Specific Strategies
Area Selection
Gemini Man Water Area
Use Rush Jet as a safety line for your (almost inevitable) fall from grace.
Thanks to insectduel for this strategy.
Magnet Man Pit Crossing Area
This one will probably take you a few attempts; try to memorize where the Mag Flies will appear. Pressing up or down while being carried by a Mag Fly will allow you to slowly move in that direction--be careful though, once you move too low it will stop carrying you.
This entire area can be bypassed by using Rush Jet; just fly to the top of the screen and jump over the Mag Flies.
