- "Huh? What? I'm winning again? Sigh...'"
- ―Presto, Make a Good Mega Man Level 3
Presto is a minor character from Make a Good Mega Man Level 3, and a competitor in the Sixth Worldwide Sponsored Robot Tournament. They are an arrogant speedster hailing from France, who excelled at every race and marathon they participated in, and quickly became bored of their constant victory. To that end, they started imposing their own challenges onto themselves while still winning, earning them the ire of many other racing robots.
Presto first appears after Mega Man collects three Tier Ranks, and appears as an NPC in every tier after he collects his fourth. In the game's climax, they become one of the eight finalists of the tournament, and is fought in the Wily stage The Greatest Show of All Time as a boss alongside the others. Afterwards, he reappears as an NPC in the Limestone Pagoda outside the True Arena after unlocking the latter.
Battle
Presto uses the following attacks randomly:
- Presto will dash around the arena, climbing the walls and ceiling, performing several complete loops before skidding to a stop and turning around to repeat the process. Presto opens their battle with this attack.
- Presto will leap up into the air and attempt to stomp Mega Man.
- Presto will dash from one side of the floor to the other twice, jump into the air, and perform a super-dash that leaves a trail of flames on the ground.
- Presto will dash from one side of the floor to the other twice, perform a third dash that causes them to scale the wall, and then send themselves flying over the ramp in the room.
- Presto will summon a shield of Petit Devils, firing them out at Mega Man one at a time in-between attacks.
- Presto will use Fracture's weapon, firing a constant stream of bullets to create a tight "cone" and forcing Mega Man to dodge small "walls" of three bullets within the cone.
- Occasionally, Presto will stop on the ceiling during a dash attack and fire Fracture's weapon downwards, falling down after a few seconds.
- Presto shoots a few globs of water into the arena that erupt into geysers, similar to Pipe Man, and follows up with a spin attack that bounces across the walls.
When Presto falls to 10 HP, they will summon Token Woman's hat, which flies up to the top-center of the arena and rains damaging tokens down on the arena. While this ability is active, Presto will perform their wall-scaling dash until the hat expires.
Several of Presto's attacks will leave them in a stunned state momentarily.

Trivia
- The pose Presto assumes after some of their attacks is similar to the memetic "death" pose used in Family Guy, modified to fit a wheeled character.
- During the announcement of the Tournament finale, Ernest Will refers to Presto as the Seven-Time Battle Chaser Champion, referencing the titular racing TV show from Mega Man: Battle & Chase.
