- "Grab ya'self a slice at the Taste Collective."
- ―Travel Brochure description, Make a Good Mega Man Level 3
The Taste Collective, also known as the Food Court, is the ninth Tier in Make a Good Mega Man Level 3. It is a sprawling indoor food court teeming with stalls, escalators, and customers. Posters advertising various Robot Master-approved foodstuff cover the walls. Mega Man has the option to interact with some of the shopkeepers, being able to either buy something from them, or otherwise trigger some sort of unique event.
This tier has the levels ranked from 82nd to 71st. To unlock the Tier Boss, at least 6 Energy Elements from the tier's simulations are required.

Secrets[edit]
Vendors[edit]
Unlike every other hub area, Tier 9 lacks a vending machine for Tanks. Instead, Mega Man can purchase specific kinds of Tank from one of three vendors in the tier. Shadow Man will sell W-Tanks (claiming them to be wine) for 15 bolts, Dive Man will sell M-Tanks (claiming them to be mayonnaise) for 40 bolts, and Master Reddorgold will sell E-Tanks (claiming them to be his hat) for 20 bolts. Two other vendors in the tier are present for flavor: Neapolitan Man, who will give Mega Man ice cream free of charge, and Taco Man, who requests a taco purchase (for 5 bolts) or else he will play his song — he will play it no matter what option is chosen, justifying it as either a free gift or a punishment.
Buying from all five vendors in the tier will unlock the Valued Customer achievement.
Corn Man[edit]
To the left of An Underwater Adventure? Wow! is an open hatch that Mega Man can walk through. Hidden inside is a bizarre entity named Corn Man, but only after playing for 92 hours; after interacting with him, Mega Man is permanently transformed into Corn Man until he leaves or restarts the tier. Almost every NPC he interacts with in this state will also turn into Corn Man when spoken to, though some will have different reactions.
Hidden Plushie[edit]
Below An Ice Cave in Russia is a small slide passage, telegraphed by an open hatch. The tier's secret plushie capsule can be found by sliding through it.
Toad Dummy[edit]
After initiating the Toad Dummy sidequest, Tier 9's Toad Dummy can be found behind a stall right in front of the entrance to the Tier Boss. The dummy takes the most damage from the Prismatic Laser, although the Break Dash and Track Shoes also deal decent damage.

Trivia[edit]
- One of the Lyric NPC's possible dialogue choices references Burger King's "You Rule" chicken sandwich commercials.
- Shadow Man selling wine calls back to the Make a Good Mega Man Level 2 entry Lava Factory, which depicted Shadow Man's stage as a wine factory.
- Konro Man will absorb and burn Mega Man's projectiles, up to and including Rush. Causing him to burn the latter triggers a unique dialogue response.
- Corn Man is a reference to the Obvious Plant brand of novelty products, with the 92 hour playtime requirement being a reference to the copyright date of 1992.
