Anyone know the best boss order to play Mega Man 3?

[Arkanoid_Katamari]

I know there's a specific order to these, and u can kinda start anywhere, but I like knowing these things.

Taken from gamefaqs.com, one of the oldest faq writers on the site.

Magnet Man -> Use Mega Buster
Hard Man -> Use Magnet Missiles
Top Man-> Use Hard Knuckle or Mega Buster
Shadow Man -> Use Top Spin
Spark Man -> Use Shadow Blade
Snake Man -> Use Mega Buster
Gemini Man -> Use Search Snake
Needle Man -> Use Gemini Laser

I've always done Top Man first as he's easy.

I know you should do Top Man first. Then I think Shadow Man.

[Niku-Sama]

I always started out with hard man or snake man, then from one weakness to another.

Don't forget about the second controllers "added features"

Yup, Top Man is easiest with just the buster, and Top Man's Weapon works on Shadow Man who is difficult to beat otherwise. Top Man's weapon is mostly useless for the rest of the game.

I always do Snake Man first, out of habit, but either he or Top Man are good "firsts."

Just keep in mind: Top Man's weapon takes some practice and is by no means guaranteed to do the job on Shadow Man. I've had times where I got lucky and insta-killed him with it, and other times where I used it all up without inflicting significant damage.

Also, you get Rush Jet in Needle Man's stage and Rush Marine in Shadow Man's stage, but you don't really need either one until way later in the game.

Lol.

Megaman 3 is my all time favorite NES game. The first time playing it, those extra stages and the "spirits" were like Wow.

I feel especially nostalgic everytime I listen to Needleman's stage track.

Just in case any Megaman 3 fans haven't heard OniBD [Max Vegetable's] incredible Rockman 3 music tribute, here it is on youtube so you don't have to sign up for niconico douga:

One thing that bothers me about Mega Man 3 is, Snake Man, Gemini Man, and Needle Man. It is not the bosses that bother me but that their weakness form like a triangle where they're all weak to each others weapons and have no outside weaknesses so you pretty much have to kill at least one of those 3 with the Mega Buster.
