[TAS] GB Mega Man III by Tremane & Noxxa in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/3209M
TAS originally published on 2016-09-03
Mega Man III, known as Rockman World 3 (ロックマンワールド３) in Japan, is the third Mega Man game for Game Boy, released in December 1992. The game continues the quest of the protagonist, Mega Man, in a never-ending struggle with his long-time nemesis, Dr. Wily. As with previous Game Boy releases, the game incorporates gameplay elements and bosses from two sequential Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) games: Mega Man 3 and Mega Man 4.
For those of you who enjoy listening to the music, the background music in this one is quite good, and the sound quality is much better than previous Mega Man games for the system.
This is an improvement to the predecessor movie ( tasvideos.org/722M ) by 265 frames, which translates to 225 frames if you only count actual gameplay. This is the result of difference in loading times between VBA and BizHawk.

Nice to have the music from the NES games. I don't know what they were trying to do with Mega Man II, I couldn't get into that music.
Speaking of music, the Weapon Get theme is very familiar... I think the TOME theme songs both took inspiration from Mega Man tracks.

[@batlordmanable]

I know I'm 2 years late, but thats a sound they used in kirby

[@bubbykins4864]

What Mega Man II was trying to do was be made by a Game Gear developer.

[@marx4538]

I personally really liked the Mega Man World II music. It was unique and felt more... epical? This one is just a bunch of decent renditions of NES themes, most of which i prefer on the NES. And it's a shame, since this one's original songs are much better than any NES renditions.

​@@marx4538Out of all the Game Boy games, only II and V use completely different music. And they both have some good takes

yeah, V also has an amazing soundtrack.

I remember struggling to finish this game as a kid. Now I'm watching someone play the whole thing in 30 minutes. Ahhh the nostalgia.

Well, consider this "someone" a superhuman of sorts.

[@kayden2975]

This game is truthful to the Actual MegaMan 3 & GB MegaMan 2 while still improving on what the flaws of the first two have, the major one being music.
And that's why I like 3 out of all of the game boy games.

[@kostaspolyzos6540]

Ah yes. I remember those Megaman tas videos and I was saying "How can he do that? I can't even pass shadow man with 1 try... He must be the best gamer" until I learned English and learned that tas means tool assisted speedrun. Oh well those memories are still great

[@NIIIoken]

That’s the spirit

[@CinderGamingChannel]

For a Gameboy game, the music is pretty good. Any chance of a TAS run of Double Dragon?😁

[@James20000]

22:46 I like that at this part Mega Man was moving, sliding, and jumping around while Dr. Wily was going into the 2nd phase.

[@XaneMyers]

19:42 As I was watching Zook Hero Z earlier, I realized this intro sounds like that bootleg's boss music's intro...I bet it was their inspiration or something.

[@XenojinX]

This was beautiful

[@centauriboy]

Dat soundtrack!

[@Yakushii]

Hell yeah. The Megaman series will always have the best 8-bit soundtrack, imo :D

[@coreymerrill3257]

Lol those little snorkeled hard hat guys rock, Man!

[@Square_One]

sick

[@TaranAlvein]

I kind of like the idea of fighting four Robot Masters, then going to Wily's Castle, then encountering four more. I do question what the point of going to a completely different Wily Castle was, when they were just going to destroy it instantly. I was also amused to see elements from Megaman 3 and 4 NES in the same game, plus the bonus Robot Master at the end.

If as child when you finished the game and let the end until the batteries dies for an esperance of an hidden second quest, LIKE!!!
