All Maps and Areas

An Updated Santa Destroy

Santa Destroy has expanded and is now home to Damon Riccitiello’s massive tech company, Utopinia. It has been stated that there are five main areas of Santa Destroy that you are free to explore on your iconic Schpeltiger motorbike. Fast travel is also available in NMH3.

The No More Heroes Motel

The No More Heroes Motel is Travis' home, and is where Shinobu and Bad Girl will be staying in NMH3 as well. Dr. Naomi's weapon lab will also be located underground nearby.

Time Machine

You can access the Time Machine by entering Travis' motel room and going down to the lowest level via the firepole. Interacting with the Time Machine allows you to face bosses that you have already defeated.

Power Up Machine

The Power Up Machine is also located in the lowest level of Travis' motel room. By spending World's End Super Nova (WESN) at the Power Up Machine, you can level up your stats.

Death Glove and Chips

The Death Glove is a returning mechanic from the spinoff game Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, and allows you to activate combat skills such as a deathblow dropkick. In addition there will be a customizable chips allowing you to experiment with which skills you work best for your playstyle.

To create more Death Glove Chips, visit the super computer in the lowest level of Travis' motel room after collecting Tape Deck and Radio parts from enemies.

New Moves with Slash Reels

The Slash Reels mechanic is a staple of the NMH series, rewarding players for doing well in combat with a chance at the slots. Depending on what you spin, the results vary but rest assured they are all quite deadly. The new jackpot of the slash reels has already been revealed to be Full-Armored Travis.

Full-Armor Travis

By hitting the jackpot on the slash reels, you can activate Full-Armored Travis, an extraordinarily powerful mech suit.

New Wrestling Moves

Wrestling moves make a return in NMH3, allowing for devastating suplexes in combat. There will be 12 suplex techniques in the game, so be sure to collect all of them!

DonMai Sushi

DonMai Sushi is a local sushi stand in Santa Destroy. Eating sushi before a battle will give Travis some perks, although gameplay details are unavailable at this time.

Money Making Minigames

Mining

There is a new mining minigame that allows you to mine minerals that will help level up your skill tree in addition to earning money.

Lawn Mowing

Lawn mowing is a returning minigame from previous NMH games, allowing you to make some fast cash.

Trash Collection

Trash collection is another returning minigame, but this one has a twist. You can apparently end up wrestling alligators, suplexing them into submission. See the tweet below to get a glimpse of what it's like in-game!

Bike Missions

This is a minigame where you raise traffic awareness by going in a high speed chase and destroying the head getaway car. You can also destroy the followers to extend the time limit.
