- "I had been under the belief that "heroes", such as yourself, were obliged to play by the rules of the game. LIES! ALL OF IT! You are no less of a hypocrite than the rest of this evil-forsaken world. Now! Now... you, will, suffer."
- ―Doctor Reginald Regal, Make a Good Mega Man Level 3
The Regal Machine is a boss in Make a Good Mega Man Level 3, serving as the boss of the Wily Stadium stage Chaos Assault. The design of the Regal Machine is based on the Life Virus from the Mega Man Battle Network sub-series, with the Nebula logo on its forehead.
After Mega Man and Dr. Wily destroy his Regal Fortress, Dr. Regal confronts Mega Man in his machine, angrily ranting that Mega Man and Dr. Wily both cheated by teaming up against him. The battle with the Regal Machine marks the end of Dr. Regal's presence in the main story, as he makes no further appearances until the Grey Isles are unlocked.

Battle
Throughout the fight, the boss is constantly walking to the left, requiring Mega Man to continue moving leftward as well.
A noteworthy feature of the boss is that all of its attacks, including contact with the boss, only deal 1 point of damage to Mega Man.
Phase 1
The Regal Machine randomly performs the following attacks:
- The Regal Machine will summon three Mini Regal Machines who run from the right side of the screen to the left. These can be destroyed with a single Mega Buster shot.
- The antenna on the Regal Machine will fire a spray of sparks to the left side of the screen that gradually gets closer to the Regal Machine, then uses a Dark Sword to hit in front of itself.
- The Regal Machine will stomp one of its feet into the ground, creating a shockwave of three rocky pillars.
After its health is depleted, it loses its arms and transitions into its next phase.
Phase 2
The Regal Machine randomly performs the following attacks:
- The Regal Machine will fire a massive laser beam just above Mega Man's head. Three puffs of smoke will come out at set points of the beam, followed by three damaging rings appearing at those positions.
- The Regal Machine will shoot three bubbles that move across the screen, periodically hopping off the ground.
- The Regal Machine will summon three flaming meteors that target Mega Man's position at the time they were summoned. These meteors fall one at a time and can be destroyed with a single Mega Buster shot.
After being defeated, Dr. Regal will attempt to continue the fight in his "Regal Capsule", but the Regal Capsule will be destroyed before the battle can start by the Wily Jet firing its laser cannon into it.

Trivia
- The Regal Machine fight is similar to the Zero and megaman sprite game battles from previous MaGMML games, in that it is a generally humorous boss fight accompanied by music from the most recent Shovel Knight expansion at the time of release.
- When refought in the Boss Gallery or the True Arena, the Regal Capsule cutscene is skipped.
