Mega Man 4 vs Mega Man III

For a year the city has been quiet, but a new robotic terror has gripped the streets! The scheming scientist Dr. Cossack has arrived with eight new metal maniacs who are bigger and badder than anything Dr. Wily dreamed of, leading to a cybernetic showdown in the Siberian citadel. Armed with the newly upgraded Mega Buster, Mega Man must run, jump, and dodge his way through mazes of metallic munchkins. Engage in action-packed platforming combat, defeat powerful robotic bosses, and acquire their unique weapons to conquer the final cataclysmic clash.

Mega Man III is an action-platform video game developed by Capcom and Minakuchi Engineering for the Nintendo Game Boy. In this third handheld installment, the blue bomber must stop Dr. Wily from siphoning energy from the Earth's core and putting a halt to a global robotic rampage. Combining gameplay elements and inspirations from the Nintendo Entertainment System titles Mega Man 3 and Mega Man 4, the game introduces the formidable robot killer Punk. Players navigate challenging stages, defeat bosses, and utilize classic platforming mechanics to save the world once again.
