Mega Man III is an action-platform video game developed by Minakuchi Engineering and published by Capcom for the Game Boy. It is the third game in the handheld series of the Mega Man franchise and the last to be published by Nintendo in Europe. The game follows the title character Mega Man as he fights the evil Dr. Wily, whose latest attempt to conquer the world involves sucking energy from the Earth's core to power a new machine. Along with foes from his past, Mega Man must contend with the next robot in Wily's line of "Mega Man Killers", Punk.
Like its two consecutive predecessors on the Game Boy, the game combines elements from two previously released Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) titles: Mega Man 3 and Mega Man 4. The game received positive reviews from critics.
