This version of '''Mugen Senshi Valis''' for the Famicom is a reinterpretation of the original version created for popular Japanese home computers like the [[MSX]] and [[NEC PC-8801|PC-88]].  It was published by [[Tokuma Shoten]] in [[1987]], a year after the original game was published.  Although the Japanese title, 夢幻戦士ヴァリス translates to Valis: The Fantasm Soldier, the title screen displays The ''Fantastic'' Soldier instead for some reason.

This version of Valis is still primarily a side-scrolling platformer which stars a Japanese schoolgirl named {{nihongo|Yūko Asou|麻生 優子||Asou Yūko}}.  Yuko must a mystical sword called Valis to defend Earth, the spirit world and the dream world.  Unlike the original version, Yuko must explore several different regions which are composed of intersecting streets and paths, many of which are not straight.  While you may enter one path heading East, you may exit that path heading North, and there is no visual indication besides the map to let you know that your orientation has changed, making charting your progress through the levels extremely difficult.  Therefore, finding the map is one of the most important tasks in the game so that you don't wind up completely lost and running in circles.  Unfortunately, finding the location of many items is quite a difficult task as well.

There are many multiple dimensions that overlap one another.  The real world that we live in is one of those dimensions.  Each world has maintained its independence with no dimension influencing any other up to now that's the the power of a body of energy known as "Valis."  Valis is contained in stones known as "Phantasm jewelry."  It's power is supplied to all dimensions, and the stability of those dimensions are maintained.

However, it is not easy distribute that power equally across dimension which undergo rapid expansion.  Valis has the power to amplify the energy of those who obtain it.  As the energy was divided into each dimension, it became necessary to seek out those who could wield its power.
