Press Disposer (プレス・ディスポーザー Puresu Disupōzā) is the boss the player faces in the first Doppler Stage of Mega Man X3 if both Bit and Byte were destroyed. It resembles an elephant that hangs onto the top-right part of the screen. A conveyor belt scrolls enemy robots onto the screen, and then destroys them when they reach the right side of the screen.
Strategy[]
Press Disposer's attacks are fairly dangerous, but the real hazards are its crushing foot and the spiked grinders at the end of the conveyor belt. If the player or any scrap moves underneath Press Disposer, it will slam down to cause intense damage. Its face is its weakpoint, but its trunk gets in the way of most attacks. Once Press Disposer's trunk is destroyed, it floods the bottom part of the arena with acid. It is weak to Ray Splasher or Tornado Fang.
