Hologran (ホログラン Horoguran) is an enemy from Mega Man 3 and Mega Man III that is mostly found in Shadow Man's stage, but also appears in the third section of the Wily Castle in Mega Man 3. Dr. Wily is proud of this hologram-producing machine, which can obscure the terrain by creating a hologram that causes the whole screen to go black (like in Dr. Wily's final form in Mega Man 2), preventing Mega Man from seeing his surroundings until the machine leaves (if it isn't stationary) or is destroyed. This is especially dangerous when Mega Man has to go back to Shadow Man's lair in search of Doc Robot, as it can also prevent the player from seeing pits. Magnet Missile is recommended for Mega Man 3, though Dive Missile is recommended for Mega Man III, as they both can hit it no matter what.
