Revision as of 08:09, 28 April 2006

Magic

Shion can learn a couple of different magic spells, each with various different effects. Each magic spell has a limited amount of uses, displayed by the amount of blue crystals under the spell's name in the Pause Menu. When your magic is used up, you can rest at an inn to replenish it. Also some higher level monsters drop blue chrystals. Picking them up will replenish your magic as well.

Fire Storm

Summons a stream of small, minor-damage fireballs that home in on nearby enemies. When only a single enemy is nearby, it will be attacked by the full barrage, quickly adding up the damage.

Thunder

File:Thunder.png

Causes all enemies on screen to be attacked by a bolt of lightning for decent damage. This will defeat many minor enemies in one blow.

Quake

File:Quake.png

Shakes the earth, doing high damage to all enemies on screen touching the ground. Flying, swimming or jumping enemies will not be affected.

Shield

File:Wonderboy in Monsterworld Shield.png

Causes Shion to be fully protected by a magical shield for a limited amount of time. When Shion is hit, the shield will block any damage, steadily decreasing the shield's time limit. You can not use items or any other type of magic while Shield Magic is active.

Power

File:Wonderboy in Monsterworld Power.png

Gives Shion a dramatic increase in attack strength for a limited amount of time. Similar to the Shield magic, the Power magic's time limit will decrease more steadily when you cause damage to an opponent. You can not use items or any other kind of magic while Power Magic is active.

Return

File:Wonderboy in Monsterworld Return.png

Warps Shion to the inn you most recently saved your game at. Can only be used once before it needs to be replenished.

Travel Companions

During his travels, Shion will often be joined by a small companion who follows you around. Each companion is bound to the region he or she belongs to, and will return to their respective homes when you leave said region. All travel companions will also temporary stay out of action during boss fights.

File:Priscilla.png	Priscilla A small fairy who hails from Alsedo, the Fairy village. She joins you when you talk to Queen Eleanora. Priscilla will randomly fly over to an enemy and bop him with her wand, distracting him. Also, when your health is getting low, she may conjure up a few small hearts for you to catch.
File:Hotta.png	Hotta A dwarf kid, who lives in the Dwarf village of Lilypad. He will follow you around when you save him from the bushmen. Hotta can break open some walls, enabling you entry in the nearby temple, as well as uncovering a couple hidden rooms in said temple. He also randomly digs up a fountain of small coins and hearts.
File:Shabo.png	Shabo A little summoned reaper, who you obtain in Childam, the Darkworld village. He will fly alongside you through the Ice Caverns, attacking enemies randomly with his throwing scythe.
File:The Elder Dragon's grandson.png	The Elder Dragon's grandson A nameless dragon hatchling, who will accompany you in Begonia, the Dragon village. He'll help you through the volcano, frequently attacking enemies with his fire breath.

Other Characters

File:Fairy Queen Eleanora.png	Fairy Queen Eleanora Her village is the first you encounter. She'll lend you Priscilla, one of her fairy companions, to aid you through your journey through the Mushroom infested forest lair near Alsedo.
File:Princess Purapril.png	Princess Purapril You save her early in the game from a Dark Knight. She'll give you advice at a few points throughout the game, if you care to visit her. Near the end, the game eventually suggests some sort of love interest, as well.
File:Elder Dwarf.png	Elder Dwarf He's distraught about the kidnapping of Hotta, a young dwarf who lives in the village of Lilypad.
File:Elder Dragon.png	Elder Dragon This wise dragon will tell you how to obtain the materials for creating the Legendary Sword. He also sends his grandson along with you on your journey through the volcano.

-==Game Info==
-'''''Wonder Boy in Monster World''''' is a title in the series of Wonder Boy games which were developed in the 1980s and 1990s by [[:Category:Sega|Sega]] and [[:Category:Westone|Westone]].
-It is the fifth game in the ''Wonder Boy'' series, and the third game in the ''Monster World'' sub-series. It's also the last ''Wonder Boy'' game to be officially released in English.
-==Plot==
-"Monster World was once a peaceful region. Then, the peace was shattered by an invading army of monsters. A young man named Shion vowed to defeat them and make his land peaceful again."
-==Gameplay==
-''Wonder Boy In Monster World'' puts you in control of Shion in his quest to save Monster World from the evil BioMeka.
-It controls like your standard platform game - run, jump, and kill enemies.
-The game is filled with RPG elements such as talking to townsfolk, collecting money to buy items, extending your life bar, and equipping a large variety of armor, weapons and magic.
-Arguably, it can be described as a sidescrolling platform variation on [[Legend of Zelda]].
-Shion travels through the many interconnected regions of Monster World, all the while collecting increasingly powerful equipment in the form of many different swords, spears, shields, suits of armor, and boots.
-The game introduced a one slot save feature to save process at inns throughout the game world. It was often tedious to return to the inns early in the game when [[#Return|Return]] magic hadn't been obtained yet.
