* TheWorfEffect: Omega displays this a few times throughout the game, the first being right before the opening boss battle where he is shown [[Main/CurbstompBattle dish-ragging]] two of the remaining members of The Four Guardians, considered the most powerful Reploids that Neo Arcadia had to offer. They couldn't do squat to him. After the boss battle, Harpuia shows up and does manage to temporarily hurt him, though Omega regenerates. Later on, during the halfway point, Omega merges with the Dark Elf after a populated city was destroyed due to a missile he was aboard. Harpuia tries to attack Omega again. [[Main/CurbstompBattle It doesn't work.]] Harpuia is taken out of commission for at least 1/3 of the second half of the game.

* TomatoInTheMirror: Near the end of the game, Weil finally reveals what's been hinted at for most of the game: that this series' Zero is [[spoiler:Zero's mind inhabiting a newer, inferior version of his body, and that his original (insanely powerful and powerfully insane) body is being piloted by ''Omega''; a puppet mind under Weil's control. For anyone else, having to essentially fight ''yourself'' would give you at least a moment of pause, right? Zero does not give a ''single robotic crap'', and even with his inferior body, he annihilates Omega--and his old body--with complete conviction. (Wait, didn't Cerveau state in [[VideoGame/MegaManZero2 the previous game]] that Zero's current body had more potential than his original body?)

*AdaptationalWimp: Omega (sans his final form). Despite Omega canonically being considered '''the''' most dangerous Reploid of all time, three of his four boss battles are relatively easy. Somewhat justified due to the limitations of the original Game Boy Advance hardware; Omega's full powers and combat abilities were unable to be shown--the most egregious example of this is his Fusion form. Here, his SWORD ALONE is multiple times bigger than Zero himself, and takes up almost 1/3 of the GBA's screen (and the whole damn thing can't even be shown on screen!!). Despite that, he just floats around.

Bonus Boss is a disambiguation


* {{Cyberspace}}: Part of the gameplay, supposedly caused by the arrival of Omega. Entering it will cause some certain Cyber-elves in your possession (marked with "A") to activate at once, making you more powerful; it's AwesomeButImpractical, however, because 1) you can't get Secret Disks in Cyberspace, 2) entering it will cut some precious points off your score, 3) you'll eventually have to exit it before the stage's finish, so don't expect it to be useful on bosses. [[spoiler:The sole exception to all of these rules is in the penultimate level, as only by entering {{Cyberspace}} can you fight [[BonusBoss Phantom]], who's harder than the ''actual'' boss of the level (the Baby Elves) and said difficulty is likely why the mission score doesn't dock points as a result. Speaking of Phantom, he implies that cyberspace is a mix of MagicalDatabase and a place where AIs of dead Reploids and cyber-elves go.]]

Two months after the previous game, a spaceship emitting energy similar to the Dark Elf has crashed. Both Neo Arcadia and the Resistance set off to investigate, only for them to meet a powerful Reploid, Omega, and its mysterious creator, Dr. Weil. Dr. Weil is a war criminal from a hundred years ago, but he was absolved of his crimes by none other than a resurrected Copy-X. Copy-X resumes command of Neo Arcadia, relieving Harpuia and the other Guardians of their duty, and instates Dr. Weil as his new military advisor. Dr. Weil then challenges the Resistance (and Zero specifically) to a race on who gets to the Dark Elf first.

This game introduces new collectible chips and a new weapon, the tonfa-like Recoil Rod.

* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: The Japanese box art (page image) consists of Zero standing in front of a scarlet backdrop, coldly staring at the viewer; Omega is behind him, hinting at their connection. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Man_Zero_3#/media/File:Mmzero3box.jpg The American box art]] goes for a different direction: Zero is gritting his teeth in a dynamic pose, while dual-wielding this game's newly-introduced Recoil Rod.
