at the time in 1999, I guess Capcom did not have another arrange ready to pick for Top Man and Magnet Man, so they stuck with Mad Grinder from The Power Fighters (Arcade) and Cloud Man from The Power Battle (Arcade) instead, both originally from MM7. :P
So, I'm listening to the _Mega Man 3_ soundtrack on _Spotify_ when I hear the "Mad Grinder" arrangement of the _Mega Man 7_ intro stage theme play. I check the info? "Top Man (PS)" is what it says. I'm like, "Wait, what?" So, I search _UA-cam_ and find this video, and this comment thread, and I have my explanation. Yay! Thanks, MegaSonic 215 and VixyNyan~
it's my favorite too, I do what I can to music-shoot at the most appropriate places, I do the same on a Mega Man X hack as well: ua-cam.com/video/1VrE8crot5w/v-deo.html (19 : 28)
I really wish these had been released in the States- the Anniversary Collection has the remixed music (only worth it for 4,5&6 IMO), but none of the other cool bonuses like the unlockable parts. I’d import it and use a cheat device, but I don’t know Japanese. Hopefully someone will make a translation hack one of these days...
8:00 The Spark Man soundtrack was so epic that it never had a remaster for this version... until 15 years later we got a real remaster from Nintendo and Sakurai with Smash Bros for Wii U.
That title screen music is just lovely! But I cannot understand how lazy of Capcom to not make any remixes for some stages and the boss themes and recycle music from other Mega Man games, with the exception of Shadow Man and Gemini Man.
Hm yea agree to some extent here, the first 3 Famicom (NES) Rockman games were the ones that got music borrowed from the Arcade games because they were rushed to be released in 1999, while the last 3 were the ones that got new remix treatment. I can understand the reason for that, but I still love the music they picked. I think that at least Fireman for Rockman 1, and Sparkman for Rockman 3 could have got remixed treatment as well. Here's an example: ua-cam.com/video/CQMDV0rKY7E/v-deo.html
You are insane. Mega Man 3 (NES) and Mega Man X (SNES) are the two gems of the series. Mega Man 4 to 6 have cartoony grapics and weird music, and Mega Man 1-2 doesn't contain the glide so they are harder, especially 1 which is super hard unless you do the pause glitch with the elec man weapon...
Well I don't disagree that much with him Because Megaman 3 contains even more flaws compared to the second game,such as Messy Level Design, glitches and massive slowdown and unbalanced difficulty curve (even more so in the last/final stages).
Before selecting the Navi Mode in the 2nd row in the main menu, hold your finger on the Select button on the controller, then at the same time press Start or Circle.
It's the "MegaMan 2: The Power Fighters" version of the MegaMan 7 Intro Stage music, and you hear it when you fight the Mad Grinder boss in the Arcade game.
They probably didn't have all the musical assets ready for the 1999 release of these compilations, which is why we hear arcade music in the first 3 games, and newer arrangements on the later 3. O: Personally, I actually enjoy cloudman in magnetman stage, and mm7 intro in topman. For some strange reason it fits and its catchy~ ^^
On the main menu, move your cursor to the Navi Mode choice (2nd row), hold Select button then press either Start or Circle button, it should activate the Arrange music. www.rockmanpm.com/i/original/rockman3/modeselect/navimode.png
A razão é porque a Capcom não tinha um arranjo preparado para Topman, então eles usaram a música CPS2 Arcade. Pessoalmente, acho que cabe muito bem e gosto muito. (tradução do Google)

Still Japanese, Capcom did not put any effort into translating anything into English for these PS1 versions. They were originally released in 1999, but are still worth playing.
A compilation of content put into one disc, aside from the game itself. You get the Original Mode, Navi(gation) Mode that give you hints and tips during gameplay along with flashier redesign of Health and Energy bars, remixed music in Navi Mode, unlockable enemy and boss information in the Database gallery, as well as CG Gallery images unlocked when you beat various modes in these ports. There's also Boss Attack Mode and Mission Mode where you try to beat certain stage sections or boss rush rooms as fast as possible, Pocketstation content that lets you train Rockman and the Robot Masters to level up and raise their Attack and Health, similar to training a Sonic Adventure Chao in a Dreamcast VMU memory card. In the later ports, Rockman 4, 5 and 6, you also have access to 8 different equippable parts that example make Rockman run faster, charge his buster faster, and other effects. And you can also play the Navi Mode without wearing Rockman's helmet, so you can see his hair during gameplay.
I still don't get WHY they reverb the sound effects... ALSO I don't like it when they overlap as well. But the remixes are nice however, it's a shame not all of theme got an arranged version of their songs.
I don't remember the format used for sound effects, they seem to be all compressed into one audio file format on each of the Playstation game discs, but the BGM music, including the Famicom and Arranged music, are all in a streamable XA format, and not MIDI, and each song is roughly 5-6 minutes long, which is why if you let them play for that long, there will be a bit of weird fade out before the music loops again. Also since the game discs are about 650-700 MB in file size, all those XA music files fill up the discs a lot, since they are like MP3/WAV type music when it comes to file size, but they are in XA format instead. And when it comes to selection of music, Capcom had the Arcade games music prepared at the very least, and no new arrangements in particular, but they resolved it by the time they released Rockman 4, 5 and 6 by having composers commissioned to create new arrangements.
@@VixyNyan Why did Mega Man 1 version have the PAL sound effects to? I know this cause I played the PAL version of the game on the NES and I heard those sound effects before.
Mega Man 3, you were so nearly my favourite game in the series. If only your second half was as good as the first half then I could have loved you more than 1 & 4. Ah well, at least it was a step up from Mega Man 2 (that is at least my opinion).
I'll admit I exaggerated my negative thoughts on 5. For what it is, it's a solid game and a good starting point for those getting into classic Mega Man. With that said, I hardly find myself playing it as much as most other entries in the series.
I've played Mega Man & Bass and didn't like it that much aside from a few great moments. Interestingly though, I didn't find the game as frustrating as some made it out to be, I just found it to be mostly boring to play.
This is just an assumption, but I believe that the developers at Capcom were choosing between the CPS2 music from the arcade games, and they didn't have one that would fit Top Man or Magnet Man, so they went for the next best thing (MM7 music). I personally think they fit well in here lol. Capcom later resolved that issue with MM4, 5 and 6 by having completely new arranged music for each one.
In the main menu, go to the 2nd option, ナビモード (navi mode), hold select button then press circle or start to play the game, it should play remixes in specific stages.
I haven't tested between NES and PS1, but if the Top Spin still act weird against enemies and bosses (example Shadow Man), then it might just be the same between the versions.
Beat is Help/Hint System, showing to you the path to choose in the stages. I know Beat is supposed to be first appearing in Rockman 5, but Capcom added Beat as Navigation Support anyway.
The first 3 games in this "collection" just took music from the Arcade games, maybe because they didn't have music created for specific stages or lack of resources. More effort was put into the last 3 games (Rockman 4, 5, and 6) since those have rearrangements of their full soundtracks.

Why does Top Man have the intro stage music from Mega Man 7

That's why the Mega Man 3 tracks are all fire~
Topman Level With Megaman 7 First Stage theme and Magnetman level With cloudman Level theme...How Strange...🤔
Magnetman's theme is the cloudman's theme

Topman stage uses megaman 7 intro stage remix
