Mega Man X3 for the PlayStation a port of the SNES game that was released only in Japan. The gameplay and levels are exactly the same as in the original, but with the addition of CD-quality music, animated cutscenes, and a save features. It is also coded slightly differently from the original, which turns out to have quite the luck for speedrunners.
McBobX in this run exploits a stage select glitch that's exclusive to this version of Mega Man X3 that allows them to skip the Maverick stages and go straight to the Dr. Doppler stages. By doing so, Mega Man is stuck with only his Buster and has no other upgrades, but this doesn't stop the game from being completed as fast as possible.
This version of Mega Man X3, released only in Japan, has a glitch which allows you to access Dr. Doppler's fortress without actually beating any of his Robot Masters. This glitch permits Hetfield90 and nrg_zam to take a drastically different route from the SNES version, popping into Doppler 1 and Doppler 2 after only three Robot Master stages (and Vile's Factory) to get the Z-Saber far earlier than should be possible.
(Theoretically you can get the Z-Saber with only two defeated Robot Masters; from a speedrun perspective, however, once you finish Vile's Factory, it makes more sense to finish the stage you accessed it from than to game over and return to the map.)
The baseline tab shows the default movie beating the game as fast as possible without any special conditions.
