Mega Man 3 - Glitches, Tricks, and Other Cool Stuff

[BionicleKid97]

"Okay we'll finish this video off". No WE will not, you will. If it was up to me this would never end, Nathaniel.

[GeminiLaser]

D'aw...

[BombBooZora]

I love this series, heck, this entire account of yours is awesome. Your voice is enjoyable, yet informative, along with your commentary and such. Good job, your officially (well, to me) awesome.

[GeminiLaser]

Awesome back at'cha--thank you!

[mking199]

@GeminiLaser will you play 7 8 9 and 10

[knucklestheawesome]

@GEMINILAZER if you press the menu at a certain time before fighting breakman in any robot master stage a longer theme of blues plays

[GeminiLaser]

Yep!

[MetroidPeter]

Huh, turbo controller is effective HERE but not in Megaman 1... Funny.

[kirbymariomega]

"Hey ma! Megaman's on the fritz again! Better call the repair guy!"

How did you do that glitch?

Also.

chaaaaase slow chaaaaase

[GeminiLaser]

Hah! No idea about how I triggered the glitch; I'm guessing I got hit going through the boss door, or just had a terrible amount of sprite flicker that somehow carried over from one screen to the next.

[robodroid00]

@GeminiLaser 2:26 what happens in that room? something interesting? and what are these ''?'' things? Mario Bros reference? lol

[GunbladeMaster34]

4:46 ...so THAT'S the whole Proto Man whistle...

[TitletownTeam]

6:54

[NostalgiaSchmaltz]

4:45 Megaman learned Toejam & Earl's tricks?

[Skelpolu]

Oh yeah, and at 4:04

"...You don't even need Protoman to break into the section of the level, heh / huh!"

Was that pun intended?

[GeminiLaser]

I must be missing this alleged pun you're talking about...so, uh, no, not intentional.

[Skelpolu]

@GeminiLaser Protoman ... break-ing into the section. Break... man ... thing. I know, I know. Lame pun is pun.

[GeminiLaser]

I see what you were going for. See, if it were a pun, I'd have used the verb "breakmanning," not "breaking." ;)

[Skelpolu]

@GeminiLaser Yeah, I'm very poorly set with puns. Anyway, looking forward for more puns and references in your future-videos, always giving them a neat touch. :)

[Skelpolu]

4:56

Do you instantly die because you are technically already dead, or do you mean that you are probably dead in the next 2 seconds since you usually get only small energy-powerups and a lot of enemies are probably nearby? :o

[GeminiLaser]

Oh! Actually, that's a unique situation there. Normally you get that much health back, but then you're no longer invincible. In this case, I picked up the powerup at the same moment I got hit by the miniboss, so you didn't get to see my health bar fill back up first.

[Skelpolu]

@GeminiLaser yeah, I thought so, but better safe than sorry - thanks for your enlightening comment. :)

[GeminiLaser]

:D

[GeminiLaser]

Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed. :)

[governer180]

6:51 Megaman has the shape of an anvil XD

[GeminiLaser]

Pretty much!

[governer180]

Ah top spin is the worst weapon ever! XD

[GeminiLaser]

That still makes me laugh. ;)

[WoWfan924]

@GeminiLaser heh me too xD my favorite part :P top spin is sure the worst weapon in the series, i have never used it ever when i was a kid cuz i just hated it,, but as u said, its not totally worthless, its only purpose is ofc to use vs shadowman and the last wily fight, also mostly of all small enemies kind, (since it 1shots every enemy it can be use for) but if some enemies dont get 1shoted by it its uneffected x) (thats why all energy can be drained from it) but its still bad

[WoWfan924]

@GeminiLaser also its very eazy to get hit by self cuz its a contact weapon, hehe xP maybe pointless to mention all that but oh well :P but in my opinion i think i hate the bomb weapon from MM1 more than top spin, atleast topspin can be used to something, the bomb one takes like 3 sec and everything and its almost a gurantee miss from it, i never use it, but thats my opinion atleast :P

[GeminiLaser]

Yeah, the Hyper Bomb isn't too great either...

[ElBlocko]

Spark Shock has to be a weapon that wasn't finished yet. It acts like Ice Slasher in Mega Man III (the Game Boy one), yet here it's practically useless. If only this game weren't rushed...

[GeminiLaser]

Seriously...

[supershadow64ds]

@ElBlocko That must be why the Second Controller Debugging tools are still in the game.

[Olivier1238D]

There is a little trick, it's not a glitch or anything, and it's very easy:

Just before fighting Protoman in a robot master stage, pause right before you touch the ground, and you will hear the complete theme of Protoman's whistle.

[PsiStarstormOmega985]

Here's a tip on Mega Man 1 The suzies actually die even if you turbo fire at point blank range.

[GeminiLaser]

How's that related to this video?

[PsiStarstormOmega985]

@GeminiLaser i found that out on Nestopia

[JDOCJO5814]

@GX2000GX if solid means over, then yes, it was. I've only done it once since, but I've done it!

[JoeReviewer]

Not once, not once did you ever make a refernece to your Youtube alias as Gemini Laser. I watched the whole thing to be sure.

(Don't mind me, I'm just sore cause I can't get a second controller to work with my emulator.) ;)

[JDOCJO5814]

I found a trick with super jump. I jumped over the poll vaulting thing in Snake's Stage.

[GeminiLaser]

Sounds like a good use for it!

[GX2000GX]

@JDOCJO5814 Was it a solid jump?

[fireandice1083]

watch us

[GeminiLaser]

Watch you what?

[gamevingw]

Do you have any other channels?

[Wowman239]

Oh my god! You killed Rush! You animal abuser!

[TheVideogamemaster9]

i tried these in an arcade machine at a camp and they worked

[GeminiLaser]

Whoa, an arcade machine at CAMP? Cool.

[TheVideogamemaster9]

@GeminiLaser also a swimming pool and ping pong tables

[GeminiLaser]

WHOA. Underwater ping-pong? Nice.

[TheVideogamemaster9]

@GeminiLaser lol, i mean a pool and there is also ping pong

[TheRealZ3ro]

I'm surprised you didn't show the glitched penguin thing in Gemini Man's stage (but I do know you're aware of the glitch). I thought it was really cool when I discovered it as a kid. I couldn't always time my slide-jump properly to skip Proto Man, though.

[Apemopo]

YAAAY. rushjet...

[turnedontomusic]

how do you do that controler thing ? do you need two controlers?

[GeminiLaser]

Yep! You need a controller plugged into the second slot, and you also need to be playing a version of this game where the trick works--the Mega Man Anniversary Collection, for example, won't let you do it.

[ShinyBlissey101]

i have a glitch.... if you open the menu right away in gemini when protoman comes out let the music play through and you can skip him

[GeminiLaser]

I knew you could skip him, but I wasn't aware you could do it that way. Huh!

[killer3596]

You really should change your name to Dr. Wily, because it looks like you've got a Doctorate in Mega Man with a specialty in glitches.

[GeminiLaser]

I also have a PhD in Horribleness.

[GeminiLaser]

That's because I used the second controller to freeze everything; the question marks stopped blinking.

[idiot9point0]

I enjoyed the "hitting yourself" part of the video. Never thought of doing that with the second controller cheats.

[GeminiLaser]

Oh, there's all sorts of fun to be had with controller #2. :)

[Darkus982]

teh glitch at 3:23 uses less fuel if u notice

[mike90000100]

@Darkus982 its cause he is constantly jumping on rush. if your not on rush, the energy wont deplete

[GeminiLaser]

True!

[TheVideogamemaster9]

your voice reminds me of spokesmayne's face

[GeminiLaser]

I assume that's the name of a channel? Otherwise, I'm impressed my voice reminds you of someone's face.

[GX2000GX]

2:44

What happens in the room...STAYS in the room

[GeminiLaser]

Ha!

[videogamekiller3]

mega man says why use rush jet when i can use the rush elevator

[GeminiLaser]

Aw, THAT would be a fun transformation: Rush Elevator!

[TheMeesie120]

@Geminilaser how did you get on the idea to do this mega man vid,s?

[GeminiLaser]

I think I might have mentioned this somewhere along the line (maybe not), but one of the staff writers for GameCola made Mega Man videos on our YouTube channel, GCDotNet, and I said to myself, "Hey, I could do that, and I could do it without getting hit as much!" So I started these videos, and now we're here!

[1ianmario]

ＴＨＩＳ　ＶＩＤＥＯ  ＩＳ AWESOME!

[GeminiLaser]

THANK YOU!

[SuperMightyMichael]

ＴＨＩＳ　ＶＩＤＥＯ　ＭＡＤＥ　ＭＥ..... AWESOME!!!!

[GeminiLaser]

Awesome, indeed. :D

[1ianmario]

@SuperMightyMichael how do you do the bold letters?

[SuperMightyMichael]

@1ianmario I got it from a video called Super Spice Bros 64, if your looking for the right video, it's by a username named Mowtendoo.

[TheKenster64]

That joke with the Hard Fist was actually pretty hilarious.

[GeminiLaser]

Glad to hear it.  :)

[megamanxrulez261]

top spin would be much better if it was a dash/air dash when you spin around THROUGH an enemy en not bounce back

[GeminiLaser]

Agreed. They fix it in The Wily Wars, and it actually becomes amazing fun.

[Iheartyoshi100]

u can kill the final boss in one hit with top spin. u still take a little damage, though.

[GeminiLaser]

Yup! I finished him off that way in my run of the game.

[MastermewtwoALPHA]

That "Mega Man's on the fritz" bit made me spit my Coke all over the screen...well, if I had any Coke. Still made me laugh really hard.

[theikpokemonhq]

Do you still hate topspin?

[GeminiLaser]

I don't hate Top Spin, and I've found it's more useful than I originally gave it credit for, but it's still highly flawed. Now, in Mega Man: The Wily Wars, it's actually one of the most fun weapons in the game because they FIXED it.

[TimNP61278]

very cool tricks there gemini! very cool indeed. I've played thru megaman with that trick but never thought to use it on the robots to stop time

[ShadeofDespair2468]

The Zombie trick works in these stages

Sparkman

Snakeman

Needleman

Geminiman

Magnetman

Shadowman (if timed correctly)

once the stage has holes the trick would work

[GeminiLaser]

True.

[kipparimies]

Hilarious, thanks!

[GeminiLaser]

My pleasure!

[Mrcarzylegoguy]

That Was Fun I only used A few tricks

Thanx

[GeminiLaser]

No prob!

[norfairaffair]

awesome!



[GeminiLaser]

Thanks!

[yoshi247x]

Wow these tricks even work on the wii virtual console version! Just connect a second wii remote and you can SUPER JUMP!!

[GeminiLaser]

Nice!

[MrNiconiconico]

Soooo Funny xD

[GeminiLaser]

Yay. :)

[MrNiconiconico]

@GeminiLaser Keep up the good work.

[AntDog1984]

Once many years ago I started the game. the first screen where it says 1990 Capcom was completely in Japanese, it was very wierd, this has happened only once and I have tried many times to recreate it.

[GeminiLaser]

Whoa. Weird indeed!

[animegamingdude]

@AntDog1984 did the Capcom copyright happen to look something like this? 1990 カプコン

[LeviathanYellow]

Oooh my god. xD Freaking hilariously crazy glitches and exploits.

[GeminiLaser]

Glad you like. :D

[SwerveStarEx]

This is a fun video! I may try those tricks out!

[GeminiLaser]

Please do! They're a lot of fun.

[00yellowfish]

Those penguins are evil!

[GeminiLaser]

Only mostly. ;)

[8azaz22]

no they don't

[SonicKillsMario119]

@GeminiLaserDo those second controller cheats work on the Anniversary Collection on Gamecube?

[GeminiLaser]

Dunno if you saw the comment above that wasn't technically replying to this thread, but no, unfortunately, they don't.

[ThePooman101]

at 0:00 your on the main menu XD

[GeminiLaser]

I think that was mostly for the sake of the music starting at the right point. Otherwise...oops.

[overclocked221]

Me and my cousin figured out the controller trick when we were like 5, cuz i decided to grab the second controller and act like i was playing too and that when we figured it out.

[GeminiLaser]

Excellent! That must've been fun to discover.

[amyroseff]

@GeminiLaser i got a different glitch on mega man 3 for the mega man gamecube version want to know?

[GeminiLaser]

Do tell!

[GeminiLaser]

Zoicks!

[ethanVideogameKid]

Don't be a doofus.

Bubble Man and Metal man are easy bosses, i took care of them and finished them off.

:P

[GeminiLaser]

Did I say they were difficult?

[ethanVideogameKid]

@GeminiLaser No, not hard at all.

[GeminiLaser]

Right...but I don't recall saying they were difficult. And Metal Man isn't in this video at all. I'm just confused by your statement being on this video. Unless you were just sharing, unprompted by anything I said.

[themangOMEGA]

These glitches are awesome. Especially the 2 controllers thing.

[GeminiLaser]

The glitches are what really make this game entertaining.

[Darkdrago909]

HOW DID YOU GET SO FLASHY AT 3:11 & 3:12?

[GeminiLaser]

I have no idea! I think I was either shooting or had just gotten hit as I went through the door.

[Darkdrago909]

@GeminiLaser My Guess When You Got Hit... But Can You Try Out A Fan Game From Megaman.. It's Name Is Hard Hat 1-2-3 Hard Hat 3 Has A Secret Press ENTER When The Gamee Starts Up *Not On The Loading Screen* But You'll Hear The 1-UP Sound Then You'll Have Infinity Tri-Shots :P

[GeminiLaser]

I've seen a little bit of gameplay footage, and it seems alright. Maybe someday, but I've got loads of other games to get through first.

[Darkdrago909]

@GeminiLaser Oh. Ok :)

[krassomatenkrass]

2:30 is this real?! thats amazing!

[GeminiLaser]

Absolutely real! I was really surprised when I discovered that.

[FabricaRhino]

@GeminiLaser Is MM1 one of your favorite MM games because of nostalgia or because it is a well made game?

Personally its my least favorite(thats not sayin much) because its obviously the least polished game in the series.

[GeminiLaser]

Because it's a well-made game! Nostalgia has little to do with it; MM1 was one of the later MM games I played. It's still got some technical glitches, sure, but all the basic ingredients are right there, and the challenges are difficult, but fair.

[sephiroththephoenix]

Wily:MUAH HAHA megaman cannot cross the long hole!!!*megaman falls in*wily:YES!HE'S DEAD!*megaman jumps from hole*wily:WHAT THE F***?!.......only one thing to do.....ZOMBAAAAA SHOTIN'

[GeminiLaser]

WHOA. My head cannot handle it all.

[Meleedftw]

The frogs from Topmans stage made my day. If you freeze them when they jump, they look crazy.

[GeminiLaser]

Fun stuff.

[SuperRetrodude]

Have you ever played through the rest of gemini man's stage after skipping protoman? If you carry on to the penguin miniboss, you'll see that he turns to stone! At least on my rom.

[GeminiLaser]

Yup! And I TOTALLY forgot about the penguin for this video!

[FabricaRhino]

@GeminiLaser Do you think each Mega man game has a theme?

If so, list them (:

I talk to much, don't you agree?

ALSO (im so sorry) have you ever played the kazoo and if so how is it. I own one, its awesome.

AWESOME JUST LIKE YOU HOHO.

[GeminiLaser]

Like, a musical theme? If so, I don't really think so. Or were you talking about, say, the international theme in MM6?

ALSO I used to love playing kazoo. And you're just inquisitive; you don't talk to much.

HOHO.

[sephiroththephoenix]

top spin is still OW TOP SPIN IS THE WORST WEAPON EVER! you're videos are awsome and very helpful and funny!!!!!!

[GeminiLaser]

Thanks! :)

[Tsukiyomaru0]

@sephiroththephoenix The ONLY use I ever found is to defeat DR Wily while he's controlling Gamma. One Top Spin and he is story.

[sephiroththephoenix]

@Tsukiyomaru0

Thanks dude for the help!!! :)

[GeminiLaser]

Sometimes two--I've had it backfire on me before.

[buizel009]

those 2nd controller stuff does it work for mega man 4 on virtual console

[GeminiLaser]

Nope, the 2nd controller tricks are exclusive to MM3. MM4 has some other fun tricks, though...

[buizel009]

@GeminiLaser can you upload another video with new glitches from mm4? :) it would have been nice

[GeminiLaser]

MM4, you say? I don't actually have enough new glitches to make a video! Some day I'm planning a compilation of all the glitches I missed; don't know how long that'll be, though.

[buizel009]

@GeminiLaser well ok I will wait for it like..... a late christmas present :)

[PolyRuni]

7:22 Gemini Man on Ice! Coming to a community center near you!

[GeminiLaser]

Ha! Exactly.

[MegaDORITOEZ]

TELEPORTER?!?!?



[GeminiLaser]

You bet!

[coolistmo]

I found out that ProtoMan is so easy you don't have to slide when fighting him lol

[GeminiLaser]

I suppose that's true.

[bakumon9999]

It's ghost of megaman!

[GeminiLaser]

Boo! Bwahaha!

[coolistmo]

a trick for the bees when the queen comes slide back and then the queen will dissapear and wont show up again untill next screen

[GeminiLaser]

True! I showed that trick in my run of the game, which is why I didn't cover it here.

[Tarutaru0]

Whats going o...Oh no! Brilliant

[GeminiLaser]

Glad you like.  :)

[FatetheHedgehog]

Megaman 3 was and still is my favorite of the NES Megaman Games. Thank you for making the expirience even better with a full library of glitches to go with it. The zombification comes in handy if you can manage to do it before bosses.

[GeminiLaser]

Happy to do so! And agreed about the bosses--it's also a fun challenge to see how long you can last before depleting your weapon energy (or resorting to calling down Rush and shooting like that).

[Apemopo]

ladies and gentlemega men

[GeminiLaser]

Exactly.

[JoeReviewer]

How do you do the 2nd controller cheats on FCEUX like you do?

[coolistmo]

@JoeReviewer you have to make sure you get the second input in

[GeminiLaser]

In addition to what coolistmo said, I mapped the second controller buttons to the shoulder buttons of the wireless controller I used to play this, as there was no such thing as an L or an R button in the NES days.

[gta4szakis]

4:28 omg this is glitch very fun xD

[GeminiLaser]

It's one of my favorites. :)
