This game is probably one of Shigeru Miyamoto's least well known designs. It borrows heavily from Pac-Man, but deviates from it substantially. The biggest departure is that while the entire maze is visible on the screen, it automatically scrolls continuously beyond the player's control. Boundaries set up along the edges of the screen create the potential for the player to become trapped and squashed between the boundary and the maze itself. The character Tamagon was never used in any game after Devil World, although he is rumored to have been the inspiration for Yoshi of Super Mario fame. A trophy for Tamagon was included in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], but was once again removed from the US release. A cheating device can enable the viewing of the trophy, where the name of the game has been conspicuously changed from Devil World to Demon World (once again, probably out of fear of religoius reprisal.) | This game is probably one of Shigeru Miyamoto's least well known designs.
