Official Description

As Tom-Tom the Wonder Boy, it's up to you to rescue your girlfriend, Tanya, from the vile clutches of the monster that has kidnapped her. To do so, you must navigate through a series of worlds in a race against time to reach your goal. Along the way, you'll battle foes and collect fruit that will add to the amount of time you have to complete your mission. You can also receive helpful power-ups from various eggs, but make sure to avoid the bad eggs and poisonous mushrooms that sap your precious vitality. Find the magic doll in each level to open up hidden areas, and make it to the very end of your journey to rescue your one true love!

Notes & Highlights

  • A platformer where your health bar is constantly going down.
  • Prevent starving to death by finding food spread around the level.
  • Instead of Fire Flower power, Wonder Boy has the ability to throw tomahawks.
  • Find the skateboard power-up to help breeze through the level for a brief period.
  • Where in the Wonder Boy series is this?
    This is the first entry. Almost as first as you can get. Though there aren't any duplicates within the Wonder Boy series, although this game was later ported to the NES with a new hero and re-branded as Adventure Island. That's where the legend of Master Higgins begins.
