Notes[]
- Damage values in light gray are those only acquired through the use of external cheating devices. In Mega Man 3, stages cannot be replayed: some enemies that appear in only one stage cannot be attacked with the Special Weapon from the boss and level it is acquired from.
- For Spark Shock, any field marked with an asterisk (*) denotes the enemy being capable of being immobilized with it, otherwise it will be immune, as marked with a "0".
