![Mega Man 3 [FC] - Needle Man Stage Boss](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/x6FXhsY-qX4/mqdefault.jpg "Mega Man 3 [FC] - Needle Man Stage Boss
A guide/walkthrough of the battle against Needle Man in Mega Man 3 for the Famicom.
No damage taken, hence there being only 1 unit of energy left.
This battle is purely based on reaction. Needle Man is fast and random. However, there is a strategy that can make this battle a bit easier.
Long horizontal jump strategy:
When Needle Man is against the wall or very close to it, its best to keep your distance from him and get as close to the wall as possible (not too close). Use the background to determine where to be at. Slide towards the wall just in case if Needle Man does a long horizontal jump from against (or very close to) the wall. Every time Needle Man does a long horizontal jump, he automatically does a vertical jump at any height and throws Needle Cannons. This actually increases your chances of avoiding his Needle Cannons at that area, as seen in this video. But theres also a chance hell do a vertical jump at any height against (or very close to) the wall. So make sure you arent too close to the wall if he does it, because avoiding his Needle Cannons at that area can be very hard. His long horizontal jump also makes him a bit more predictable, despite being fast and random.
For everything else, its just pure reaction. The low vertical jump Needle Man does before throwing his Needle Cannons is the most dangerous, so thats why I slide under the last 2 after jumping over the first 2 whenever he does that. This is to reduce the risk of getting smacked by the last one. The high vertical jump isnt too much of a problem. But even then, you still have to watch out for his melee attack afterwards. If you arent comfortable with this strategy, then by all means, use another strategy. Just keep the long horizontal jump strategy in mind.
For the horizontal jumps, there are 4 types that Needle Man can do along with doing his melee attack:
- Jump in place (slide back out immediately if that happens).
- Short horizontal jump (slide underneath, then run a bit further).
- Middle horizontal jump (slide underneath).
- Long horizontal jump (automatic vertical jump at any height).
For the vertical jumps, there are 2 types that Needle Man can do along with throwing his Needle Cannons:
- Low vertical jump (slide under the last 2 Needle Cannons after jumping over the first 2).
- High vertical jump (sliding isnt required).
You can think of it as a revenge strategy if you want, but I wanted to point out the strategy that can possibly be helpful for certain challenges.")

Crab patterns:
After the story cutscene, the crab pattern starts. It depends on how fast or slow the levels are cleared along with text skipping. The more one speedruns this category, the more the speedrunner will see some fishing patterns. Regardless, the RNG is still involved in them. In a casual playthrough, it can be random whether the crab shows up or not.
Funkys Fishing 4:
If the crab didnt appear in the previous mini-game, then theres a chance it will appear in this one. Since theres no way to speed this up, this can be the best time to catch the crab.

NOTE: This tutorial is not meant to be friendly. There might be a bit of safeness. But to get the fastest possible time, these tricks must be performed.
Level starting:
Use the vine below to determine when to cartwheel.
Klaptrap:
Normally, in the SFC version, rolling/cartwheeling behind a Klaptrap results in taking a hit. But in the GBA version, rolling/cartwheeling behind a Klaptrap results in that enemy getting defeated.
After Klaptrap:
Be sure to cartwheel immediately afterwards.
Letter O approaching:
Cartwheeling over an abyss and jumping up fully while getting the letter O is faster.
Expresso the Ostrich:
Expresso is a bit slower in the GBA version than he was in the SFC version. The gliding physics are different from the SFC version, but he is still quite useful. He is required to go into Bonus Room #1, as well as getting a picture along the way. While approaching Bonus Room #2, Expresso is dismounted.

Swimming physics:
The swimming physics are different from the SFC version. In the GBA version, just holding Left or Right on the D-Pad isnt enough to go fast. The run/roll/cartwheel button has to be used too. And even then, swimming horizontally is slower in this version. Also, swimming up is way different from the SFC version. In the GBA version, Donkey and Diddy can swim up way faster, even when holding Down on the D-Pad.
Picture in narrow tunnel between two Barrel Cannons:
The screen-scrolling trick is done to delay the spawning of the 2nd Croctopus in order to get the picture faster.
Enguarde the Swordfish:
Enguarde is useful for most of the level. The physics are different from the SFC version, but he is still useful. In the GBA version, its actually faster to get Enguarde. In the SNES version, Enguarde would be skipped.
Last Croctopus section:
After triggering the last Croctopus, be very careful not to go up too soon, as that would result in getting caught in the left wall.
Be sure to go to Candy and Cranky after this level.
