[TAS] Genesis Wonder Boy in Monster World by Aqfaq in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2006-07-31
This movie is about Wonder Boy fighting against (or running past) a horde of cute monsters.
The Oasis Boots that are normally required to cross the desert were not used in this movie, because it was slightly faster to go without them.
In Japan, the game is known as Wonder Boy V: Monster World III.
--------
Watch this run being played back on a real console ( • [TAS Verified] Genesis... ).

Monster World used to be peaceful… until the monsters showed up.

[@Operational117]

You’d think the people of Monster World would realise why Monster World is called Monster World, but noooo… no way monsters could invade Monster World! 😂

Shion: ima end this aliens whole career

3:10 “Oh, it’s the Ocarina!”
This game included an Ocarina before Nintendo added *TWO* into its aptly named “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time”… Westone (the developers) and Sega (the publishers) were seven years ahead of Nintendo!
But the question I’m left with is: Were there other games before *this game* that had an ocarina?

[@EmoonX]

Fun fact: A Link to the Past also has an ocarina (wrongly translated as "flute")... and it was launched just a month after this Wonder Boy. However, the trend of "playing music with gamepad buttons" wasn't present until OoT, so WB was way ahead indeed.

[@arthursantos6711]

If im not mistaken, mother 1/ earthbound begginings have an ocarina as well

[@WayatMoyisDorsiinviil]

This game reminds me alot of Dan the man. The sprites look so familiar

[@ecu4321]

The game looks awesome. But unfortunately was overshadowed with all the hype that was sonic way back in the day

[@SonofTiamat]

Have you heard of Monster Boy? It's on Steam and is newer version of this

[@CassiDS]

@@SonofTiamat I thought that was its own installment in the series?

[@EmoonX]

@@CassiDS It's an instalment and also a "spiritual successor" to the series itself.

[@brandonholder2654]

I remember playing this game a long time ago, I never beat it but had lots of fun trying!!

[@tonyp9313]

I beat this on the Wonder Boy Collection. Not as good as Wonder Boy 1-3 for Sega Master system.

[@jwstorm]

37:52 if you switch to the Marine Boots, you should be able to jump up and catch the rope (saving you several seconds).

[@vaskaden735]

I just tried this and it actually worked. Cool shortcut you found there. I hate this room so it's nice to be able to skip most of it.

[@Robbie1219lel]

2:29 that red background looks similar to the world 3 background in the first bloo kid

[@breaktube]

How did you do the song part at the beginning ?

[@palidopali]

12:50: awfully familiar to sonic adventure 2 race chao select screen

[@cowgaming7186]

funny hero kills something to save land

[@williamzeo2493]

Good TAS and I hope that you make a TAS of the Master System version since it's superior, I love so much this game.

[@CassiDS]

Wait, really? I thought that version was missing some content from the Genesis and TurboGrafx CD versions...

[@williamzeo2493]

@@CassiDS the game is way better and faster, I don't know about the TurboGrafx since I never saw it.

[@stg4theglitchog768]

I can't get passe the part of the start of the game where you have to bounds on these things that jump out of the water because the main character is too slow for me.

[@cierta_persona]

try change boots, i know there are boots to run a little faster
