For trademark reasons, Hudson Soft renamed the game, and revamped the main character to be Takahashi Meijin, who was the spokesperson for Hudson at the time, and was apparently very good at Star Soldier. He bares no resemblance to the pudgy persona in the games. In the English language version they dubbed him "Master Higgins". Wonder Boy and Adventure Island are essentially the same game. Adventure Island's stage design more closely resembles that of the Wonder Boy arcade version than the [[Sega Master System]] version. Adventure Island managed to sell more titles than Wonder Boy due to the lack of popularity of the Sega Master System in North America and Japan. [[Adventure Island II]], and all other Adventure Island sequels, were purely developed by Hudson; Escape had nothing to do with those games. | For trademark reasons, Hudson Soft renamed the game, and revamped the main character to be Takahashi Meijin, who was the spokesperson for Hudson at the time, and was apparently very good at Star Soldier.
