Was thinking about this game, thanks for the memories. It was damn hard back in the day, no hints as to where you find the stuff. Of course, there was the "pause" trick, lol. Only game where you can buy the legendary stuff...
"We never knew the dragon was a robot, did it come from another planet?" Fucking japs and their game endings man they must have been high as fuck when they made this
Hundreds of hours of my childhood summed up in two ten minutes clips. Awesome. What was up with the flute part when you climbed the ladder? What does it do? I have never done that before. I also never faced that wizard boss either. I'm tempted to hook up the system to see the stuff I've missed.
@harrypottersdaddy It's a side mission to get the bell or the ruby for the end. If you do the side quests, you'll see at 8:43, the monster will give you one of them. The bell rings for the maze, tells you which exit to take to proceed. The ruby does massive damage against the dragon at the beginning (one shot item). It's used automatically.
Finally, I've learned the answer to a question that's bugged me all my life: does Wonderboy3 follow on directly from Wonderboy2, was the dragon in Wonderboy2 a mecha-dragon too?
I'm glad the answer is yes. Now some small part of my childhood can sleep happy in my subconscious. =)
I used to play the hell out of this game back in the 80s. I haven't seen it in probably 20 years but I could still remember all of the secret shop locations. I never could figure out that damn maze at the end and never beat the mecha dragon... at least until I got Wonderboy III for christmas. It was cool to finally see the end of this one!
lol man thats why i wanted to watch the video.... how did you get through the maze????? that was the lvl i always died cause i didnt found the right way ... and now you skip that???? -.-
pls show the last lvl how to find the right way through the maze plx plx plx plx
I used to play that game a lot when I was like 10. Reached the dragon several times but could never kills the mecha. The ending was kind of a let down after all these years ... ^^;
If anything this game is underrated, the difficultly level is perfect, and there are so many hidden features. Easily one of the bast games on the Master System.
You are legendary at this game i thought i was good, you didn't even get hit till half way through the game and made easy work of all the bosses well done man. wonderboy is like the grand daddy of RPG's thanks for posting.
@vedder530 Of course there is a way to skip the maze. You have to get all the items, starting from the letter till the ruby or bell. I don't remember which one is the correct one however. With the bell or ruby you can access to a secret door near the yellow one of the last level that allow you to go directly to the dragon. However you have to figure out if you need the ruby or the bell.
WOOOOOOW! I had this game once but sadly never found out how to do the maze in the castle, oh well now I read how to do it I wonder if I can now. Is the a vid for that stage? Big thanks
I had wonder boy 1 and 3 I never got to play this one so I downloaded it onto my wii. Ive spent more time playing this game than any other haha number 3 is still my favourite tho
I had 1 and 3 as a kid too and never won either, I also just downloaded it on my WII today. My first fun I got lost in the maze at the end, so I watched this vid to see how he did it but he cut it out! Crap...
I used to beat this game all the time on my Sega Master system! Haven't thought about it in years!!! Never knew you could skip the maze though...I had to always choose the bell until I memorized the maze... then could get the ruby and beat the dragon!
i used to hate this back in 88 i think, as i was playing the orig arcade version nearly every day, i was addicted, i think i was 13 at the time, it was stargames, llanelli, wales, uk, yeah my mate had this on his sms, but i rediscovered it in 02, as i was trying to find the orig, and this was the best i could get, next to the genesis/megadrive version, yeah really enjoyed it! took me 3 months to complete, although the graphics arent as good, anyways discovered mame, and like 17 years on managed
awesome mate i used to play this in barry island here in wales :P had the arcade cabinet! didnt know it was on the SMS till much later :D Now I love playing it! one of my all time fav games!
You mean to tell me the whole labryinth was skippable LOL???? I must have tried to find my way to the dragon well over 30 times as a kid and this was one game I never got through...
I don't think I missed much in terms of an ending though LOL
He skipped a lot of secret places for cash. He seemed to know the basic ones for the most part. I always had the armor of legend by the end, mostly because of all the hiding spots of cash. Then again, I spent WAY too much time playing that game when I was a kid. Awesome post!!
This game was hard, but yeah, he skilled the maze in the last dungeon. The hardest part of this game was getting the legendary equipment with the gold. Thank god someone told me about the pause trick to gain some extra cash or else I would never be able to beat it with all the stuff.
What i love about wonder boy is he is such a polite person. Knocking the door before enterg to stab 'em in the face. I wish more people had those sort of manners.
Signs of a wasted youth trying to finish this game on one quarter in the arcades. I was surprised I still remember almost all the locations after all these years. :D
The final door was hidden!!! I went through that dam maze over and over again and never got to the leader. I played that game when it came out and I still play it from time to time but I have never even seen the dragon. Dam the door was hidden.
lol the final door is not hidden. I took out the final maze level out of the video cause it took around 6 minutes to complete and was boring. Also in the video it looks like I'm knocking on the well but I'm actually knocking on the end-level door, wonderboy turns invisible because he is flickering. Because of the quality of youtube video, flickering characters will turn invisible now and then.
No the door wasn`t hidden besides that the Maze is almost the same as in the beginning of Wonderboy 3: Dragons Trap if i do remember it right. Becouse i know that the last Boss in this Game is the 1st Boss in Wonderboy 3 but for some strange reason the player itself turns into a dragon. Maybe becouse the story is in another Dimension but that is only a guess.
no the maze in this game is much harder, and the story in WB3: Dragons Trap is a direct follow-up to this game although they ditched the idea of Meka escaping into space seen in the arcade version of the game.
I meant the PCengine/Turbografx 16 version, which was renamed Bikkuriman world for licensing reasons(?) and not released in the west.. hmm so maybe it's not an obvious choice over this one :P But it seems superior.
Wow i only knew about the adventure island game which obviously was the same game known as wonderboy 3 Dragons trap [SMS] on the PCE. Yeah PCE Games aren`t well known but they are definitly superior in graphic i dunno about Gameplay thou.
I might do arcade runs in the future. The SMS version is the best home version, it's also got a couple of new bosses who are not in the arcade version.
Isn't the PCE/TGx16 version better though? I've only played it for like 5 mins but it seemed clearly superior, at least in gfx and sound aspects. Still great to see another Wonder Boy run, love these platform/rpg hybrids.
you make my life complete now!!! i didn,t know what happened after the maze...thanks!
