Some manual modes aren't really "manual".
For example, on a Mercedes C-class, when you go into "manual mode", it just limits the gear to that number.
Say, if you put it to 3rd gears, the car will still automatically shifts between gear 1, 2, and 3. It simply "limits" the highest gear to 3rd gear.
In this case, when you mash the gas pedal, it still has the freedom to down-shift.
On a manual transmission design, like itsme123 said, a 3rd gear is a 3rd gear. It will not go to 1 nor 2.
