pc_mman3: MAME ROM Information.
History:
Mega Man III (c) 1990 Nintendo of America.
Contenders blast Mega Man, in his search for energy Crystals, through a galaxy of mining stations controlled by ruthless robots. An amazing 21 different levels of rapid fire help Mega Man battle against these armies of metal maniacs to gain their super powers. But the rebellious robots won't give up without using every android-annihilator known to Mega Man. That's when players call on Rush, the wonder dogdroid, for special mechanisms that speed them past danger and assist in enemy melt-down. It's man vs. metal as players have more fun than humanly possible.

E6 : Start with 1 Energy reserves.
E4 : Start with 2 Energy reserves.
B4 : Start with 3 Energy reserves.
A5 : Start with 4 Energy reserves.
C1 : Start with 5 Energy reserves.
D2 : Start with 6 Energy reserves.
C3 : Start with 7 Energy reserves.
F2 : Start with 8 Energy reserves.
A6 : Start with 9 Energy reserves.
Second ball (choose one or more) :

B5(red) : Geminiman defeated.
D3(red) : Needleman defeated.
F4(red) : Sparkman defeated.
D6 : Shadowman defeated.
F6 : Snakeman defeated.
C4 : Hardman defeated.
F5 : Magnetman defeated.
Second ball (choose only one) :
A3(blue) : Topman / Snakeman defeated.
B5(blue) : Hardman / Geminiman defeated.
D3(blue) : Magnetman / Needleman defeated.
F4(blue) : Sparkman / Shadowman defeated.
Third ball (choose only one) :
B6 : Gemini Man's stage beaten (Flashman / Bubbleman).
A1(red) : Spark Man's stage beaten (Metalman / Quickman).
A4 : Shadow Man's stage beaten (Woodman / Heatman).
B2(red) : Needle Man's stage beaten (Airman / Clashman).
B2(blue) : Needleman / Geminiman's stages beaten.
A1(blue) : Sparkman / Shadowman's stages beaten.
* Slow motion : Hold Up on controller two.
* Freeze opponents : Hold Up+A on controller two.
* Super jump : Hold Right on controller two.
* Suggested opponent order : Magnet, Hard, Top, Shadow, Spark, Snake, Gemini, Needle, 'Spark', 'Shadow', 'Gemini', 'Needle'.
* Walk through pitfalls : Hold Right on controller two. This allows Mega Man to walk through or jump out of pitfalls without dying. It is especially helpful in the Dr. Wily Robot level. Note: When jumping out of the pitfall, the jump is twice as large as the super jump.
* Invincibility : Hold Right on controller two while jumping into a pitfall. Then intentionally get killed by an enemy while in the pitfall. Jump out of the pitfall when Mega Man's death sound is heard.
Mega Man will be invincible as long as an energy booster is not collected. Although the use of the regular gun will be lost, the spark shot or the needle will work just as well.
