Game Description:
Mega Man 3 is a platforming game for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Retaining the gameplay from previous Mega Man games, Mega Man 3 has newer gimmicks, like additional 4 Doc Robot stages after defeating 8 Robot Masters, E-cans that replenishes health to 100%, and a new companion support robo dog named Rush.

Believing Dr. Wily giving up on his desires for world domination, Dr. Light teamed up with him and constructed a giant peacekeeping robot named Gamma. But in order for Gamma to be operational, they need rare elements found in neighboring planets. Then one day, Dr. Wily's Robot Masters seized control of the planets, declaring once again his conquest or world domination.

Mega Man is tasked to stop the Robot Masters, however, a mysterious red robot known as Break Man tries to hinder him.
Hack Description:
Three years ago, a hack of Mega Man 3 called "Mega Man 3 Ultimate" was released by romhacker TheSkipper1995. It was meant to be a relatively simple hack built on top of KujaKiller's "Mega Man 3 Improvement", rebalancing some of the game's level design and difficulty curve. At the time, the hack was considered satisfactory if a bit conservative in its changes to the base game.

Early this year, at the behest of fellow romhacker DangerDoodle, TheSkipper1995 was convinced to continue work on Mega Man 3 Ultimate with some simple graphical updates. Over the next several months, however, with the programming assistance of KujaKiller, DurfarC, and MartsINY, the project grew into something far more substantial than Mega Man 3 Ultimate. This is "Mega Man 3 Revamped!"

Mega Man 3 Revamped's purpose is to be a highly polished and streamlined version of Mega Man 3 for people who may not have liked the original game due to its rushed, unpolished development.

Changes Include:
[list]
[li]Liberal changes to level design to make more interesting and engaging use of enemies, hazards, and stage gimmicks; most notably longer Dr. Wily stages with over 40 screens of additional, challenging content![/li]
[li]Improved utility to Hard Knuckle which can be aimed much faster, Needle Cannon which has a much faster auto-fire rate, and Gemini Laser which doubles its speed after ricocheting once![/li]
[li]Significant added graphical detail to many stages and cutscenes including Top Man, Hard Man, Snake Man, Gemini Man, and Spark Man![/li]
[li]Additional fixes to several stray bugs that went unnoticed in Mega Man 3 Improvement![/li]
[li]A restructured story line that keeps Break Man's secret hidden until the final act![/li]
[li]Changes to boss hitboxes and a.i. to be both less frustrating and more challenging![/li]
[/list]

Version 1.1 Update:
[list]
[li]Updated bug fixes from Kuja Killer's latest Improvement patch version 2.2.2[/li]
[li]Very minor tweaks to level design and damage value balancing based on feedback.[/li]
[li]Minor hitbox adjustments.[/li]
