This is a pretty sweet unknown Sega game that most people probably recognize in its bootlegged form. Main differences from the bootleg is in the final stage, time is NOT renewed on each screen, making it much more tense and difficult.
Highest score I've ever managed, and a heart pounding ending. This is why you NEVER give up until that you see that game over screen.

Best Wonderboy ever and one of the best out of the arcade games era.
This version is trash. It's a lot better on the Sega Master System.
@@tonyp9313 Lol... NO!
@@dl8229 Yes it is...Arcade is way too hard...Master system not that hard and they did a great job importing the game.
Wb3 the dragon's trap is way better
@@tonyp9313 pc engine version is superior to master system
For those confused by the 60+ Gold Get, it's a bug in the game that's being exploited.
The 6 in the first digit is a symptom of the Z80 carry flag being accidentally set before a DAA instruction which calculates the amount of gold to add.
This isn't an intended feature.
One of the best game ever. I used to finished this game with a coin in the arcade.
Those were the days. Full hour of fun with just one coin. Couldn't get enough of it...

I have this Arcade at home
Me too!
Last level music is brilliant can remember loads of people around me watching this and cheering when I completed it
By switching your character's direction rapidly when you jump into a coin spot, there is a chance you spawn a high value coin (65-69).
Put this comment at the top because it is the same doubt to many people.
on the xbox you need to assign a button to wiggle and that'll make them worth more if you wiggle/jump underneath them. Make lots of quick saves.
I had full legend and I died at dragon and the game reset even though I had nine credits in
@@jackplayz5552 u cant depend on those credits thats why its better to save when u get on very far.
@@martymartin2894 I was on my home arcade emulator so no quick saves btw it has free credits sad that the dam game resets well I didn’t trust the dialogue when entering the final castle so rip me (that was the only time I ever had full legend
When I was five years old we visited my dad's backwater hometown in Italy. There were maybe 50 people still alive and they were all very old. We were high up the mountain. Every day my grandfather would give me a few thousand lire and he'd tell me to walk down the mountain to the bar to buy him a beer.
The old men at the bar would make change for me, and then prop me up next to the one arcade machine they had, which was Wonder Boy in Monster Land. I loved this game so much. I remember being stunned that one of the first enemies I faced was DEATH haha. I was so proud of myself when I finally beat him.
After I had a play or two, they'd give me the beer and I'd dutifully truck it back up the mountain to my grandfather. Great times.
This takes me back to my days as a kid in Korea. Back then there were guys who would absolutely kill this game and somehow knew all secrets with no internet or other reference to speak of. That being the case, the fact that it was about 50 won per game (about 5 cents?) back then, I'm sure they got plenty of practice.
kimchipower My dad used to play this game when he was 12 (he was born in 1979) and he also knew all the secrets for some reason. strange 😂😂
Me too, i used to finish the game with a coin and knew every secret coin available, i learned watching other play and with a lot of practice. 80's game were tough but linear, once you know how to move and what to expect is kinda easy beat the game.
elaith80 Same here lol. And back then I had no clue about the story or the name of the items, all in Japanese. Just learned by try and error and watching others. Just being a simple minded innocent kid with one goal, to finish the game with one coin lol. Good times
kimchipower Same here. Born in the 70s Seoul Korea. I used to beat this game with one coin consistently, knew all the secrets. but I can't remember how I learned all the tricks.
3 of us could complete this in our local arcade, quite the badge of honour, good memories, thanks for the upload
The last parts are very intense. When you get only half heart left. Amazing gameplay.
It's interesting watching how the end of this game ties in with the start of Wonderboy 3: The Dragon's Trap on the Master System.
Yes it is interesting isn’t it
Why was the protagonist's hair changed from yellow to green in dragon's trap? His clothing was also different.
always wondered why dragons trap started the way it did and you had to fight the mecha dragon!
@@raba2d723 Yeah, it's a nice touch.
One of the best Arcadegames ever ! Well played :)
FUCKING HELL this arcade version is BRUTALLY HARD. Never saw it completely, God Damn it, the later levels are just pure insanity.
nah you just didn't get good at it
With a little practice it's perfectly beatable.
@@dacueba-games I couldn't even beat the Master System version which was a lot easier than this. Yeah.
My avatar says all :D
Full Legendary I see.
During my playthrough of it, I somehow missed the Legendary Shield ... I also missed the last part to upgrade my shield so.. Leather Shield all the way! At least it was fabulous purple!
9:49 - the stage and the music that made me happy as a young boy.
Oh, and 42:14 - that last stage and the music told me I was approaching the dragon's lair.
PS - this was my very favourite arcade game and those who share this sentiment know exactly what I mean.
Quote "9:49 - the stage and the music that made me happy as a young boy." Not having watched the video today, I immediately knew which tune you meant. =)
The game was so cool. Especially all the little secrets.
when i was a kid, i used to play this game every visit to the arcade... it took me about 45 minutes to complete... what i don't get though; why the player here buys the purple shield & armor while he has money for the better version... i always bought the best available so i could end up with the legendary armor, shield, shoes quite early & the legendary broadswoard at the later part in the game..
for those who doubt; it's really no cheat to get lots of coin on the clouds/buildings/hidden drops... i knew this trick when i was 8-9 yrs old in the '80s. In my opinion this is the best wonder boy game of the series, and it was, together with bubble bobble my favorite game of all time (ps: for bubble bobble also exists "tricks" that give you more power than a normal player who doesn't perform the trick)
Back in the days i also had a sega master system, this game on that system was not a 1:1 clone; there were subtle differences which made me love the original much more... this game will be in my heart forever!
I'm playin' this on the xbox. how do you get extra coins? I know its got something to do with wiggling, but is it a timed wiggle?
Plus, it's available on switch.
You can buy the heavy armor (100 coins) cheaper if you choose the light (purple) armor first instead of the knight armor (150 coins). That’s why.
@@MrBen2177 ah i didn't knew that
with the shoes it's not that way, i believe you have to buy a grey pair if you start with the purple ones. while starting with yellow gave faster acces to the legendary pair
Absolutely incredible!!!
This is back in the day when dying actually had consequences.
You lucked out with that revival!Good game!
An old classic! Was a great game in its day!
Thanks. You helped me get 5 PlayStation trophies today on the Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection. That was pretty close for you about the 45:00 min mark
Oh I see. I thought this run could have been improved a lot, but you can't beat that lucky finish :). This is the highest score I've ever managed.
I loved this game back in the 80 mom aways got me the best games r.i.p.
Played this a lot in the arcadehall during the 80`s! From a time when games where very, very hard to beat and took a lof of practice and patience.
And money.
One of these best adventure games ever created. Not too mention one of the best music scores ever created.
WOW man !! My father would have spared so much MONEY if you had showed me this VIDEO back at 1993' :P :P
Respect though ..you have amazing skills ...great Run with one credit ... ! I found this video by accident and i stuck watching it for one hour ! Childhood Flashback !! Thanks :)
+zealeau So who played this game, you or your father?
majk2006 Me :) when i was little , at the Old school Arcade machines ...but my father gave me the money :P :P
You know you can just download MAME32
It was 8k+ old arcade games.
More than enough for a lifetime.
I loved this game when I was a kid, always wondered how it was called for years and now I found it!
Use to play this game in the late 80's at an old pizza place in Bondi Beach (across the road from the beach) Reg's Pizza (now turned into a sushi restaurant).
This game among others, brings back so many memories, good times
I thoroughly enjoyed this. I used to spend so much money on this as a kid in Sydney. 40c a game at the time.
+Toke Utter Same here in Poland. My parents almost went bankrupt because I was hooked on it.
I wish part 3 would have been modelled on this game. This is the best wonder boy ever, it's fun finding hidden doors, coins etc. This game is FUN, that's how a game should be FUN!
This video just brought me very good memories 😀😀😀
Here's a game that needs a dragon's trap style remake.
IT's odd that the ending is more like Wonder Boy III on the Master System, where as the SMS version of Monsterland just ends.
Not enough cartridge space?
because the sms version continues to dragon's trap
Marvellous game!!! I played this and Dragon Buster back in the days at pub! Great play here Sir, thank You very much for sharing.
One of the best arcade game ever!
I remember watching someone in a milk bar finishing this game when I was a kid.
I played this last night and found it very hard:
Your attack doesn't have much range and enemy patterns require precise timing.
The hourglass turns quickly and takes a whole heart each time, so you cannot grind for gold and
have to get all that extra gold in the minimum time possible.
It is really designed to be practiced over and over from the beginning until you can clear it in a single run through like this.
You tell very precicely what makes this game harder and more interesting than an average "rainbow islands". I love this game too and can only agree. By the way, I got interested in this game watching someone in a canteena playing it for like 40 minutes with 1 coin to reach a high level.
Also IMHO a game that forces you to practice over and over again, setup in a profit-orientated arcade machine, shows the perfection of this game design in another viewing angle. Reminds me of the arcade game P47.
the better the sword , the greater the range of attack. patience.
hello, what rom do you use?? original rom is the japan version and time is recover with new scene in castle... personally i play wbmlb, the english bootleg(bad traduction in text but it doesn't matter)..
Amazing game I played in Korea as a kid. There was no internet back then, but players still knew a ton of secrets. This game is chock full of them.
"I feel became lighter"
You must be Johnny on the spot and have had shit loads of practice to get to 67 gold, before you even get your sword! Be interested to know what rom this was as it was never released in any English speaking countries, so they are all bootlegs essentially.
One bootleg I played in a seaside arcade back is ‘89, on level two as you progress far right to the health shop. If you don’t buy anything and exit the store like two or three times, she says “fuck you/off” and the shop closes permanently! What charming manners from a nurse no less!
Anyway great play through, as knowing about the gold exploit if you can call it that, really hello to get the best boots, shield and armour (not to mention buying drinks and health revitalisers) to help you get through what I was class as a challenging game, and quite a large one playtime wise, for the year it was released in 1987.
In the days before internet walkthroughs imagine the amount of credits it took to discover all the secrets of these games. ✌️
AH, this IS my favorite arcade game. Love it so much, I've made two arcades just to play it. Love doing speed runs on this game. lol you kept giving me heart attack by passing up coins and going back. PS. I think it might be the Ver. I play on, but if you clear the stage after you beat death in 1st state, you'll get more points. IDK if that's what you're going for, but yeah.
El mejor arcade para mi gusto, que bien me lo pasé jugando a este juego 👍
What a run! Well done! Amazing journey on each wonderboy
Is this an officially licensed english version? I've only seen two bootlegged variations that are english, but somewhat poorly translated.
Yes.
pollyisagoodbird I got a bootleg version. Where can I get a real English localized game?
I'm afraid I wouldn't know....I play all my games at Vizzed.
They made an english translation but never released it in the arcade due to slow initial sales in japan. The translation was instead used in the home versions of the game. And we only saw english bootlegs in the arcade. Years later it was released in official arcade form on the virtual console on Wii. Then later on 360 live arcade and PSN PS3. The rom you are looking for is called wbmlvc.zip. (wonder boy monsterland virtual console). I'm lucky enough to have an official japanese sega board with the eprom flashed to english. Lag matter's in this game so I love playing on real hardware.
Nexus ok that’s why my board displays different English text, also when playing the flute in my version there’s no flute music.
Someone indeed do be beyond dat wall.
Amazing play. I can read your feelings in the Labyrinth by the way you move.
And maybe you could achieve an even better score by playing the bug-free version. It's not officially in MAME but the fix is available somewhere on the Net. The MAME version has that weird "I shoot magic weapons as fast as I can" bug.
I won't lie, I got extremely lucky with the life potion drop at the very end.
Seahawk0027 i was saying the same thing!!! Sheer luck
Andrea Babich on the master system version i thought the second dragon was the main dragon and the first 1 was a different 1 before the real dragon but looking at this it was the main dragon all along as he just transformed into a more powerful form and stronger boss
Benjamin Mathias the tactic i used on the master system when he transforms into his silver form i wait for him to breathe his fire i jump jump and hit him and repeat that sequence until he's dead but normally i had plenty of magic to attack him with so i just used that ive got this version on ps3 but i havent reached the dragon yet
Wow, you are a really excellent player! Thanks for the video! And, more wows for the idea of the final boss the creators had! Alien robot dragon! Hehe
The interface, controls, UI, and design prove this to be one of the most influential games of all time. Most modern games are just a 3d version of this
22:30 Death and Taxes!
Ha, good one. Never thought about it in 30 years.
wow! ..seriously man .. no pill for this long legend ..
gracias nunca pude pasar este juego, y al verte jugar me volvieron a mi todos esos recuerdos.
Impressive Sega Skills. This is good stuff here
There's an MMA fighter called Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson.
So what I was thinking is to make a Romhack called Wonderboy in MMA Land where instead of Sword, Shield, Boots and Armor, it's MMA gloves (Sword), Training Pad (Shield), Shoes and Training Gear (Armor).
Instead of Monsters, it's other fighters from MMA.
Love how all the shopkeepers are different critters.
Best run of this game on TH-cam, congratulations!
Amazing run!
This game is ruthless, but also fun.
Best game of the 1980s.
Something tells me it's Gladius (a Roman one-handed, double-edged shortsword) and not 'Gradius'
The first screen up to Death was practically copy-pasted for _Wonderboy (SMS IV/Genesis V) in Monster World._ The layout is practically identical.
23:01 Laughed so hard. xD
When I was young, I was finishing this game with more than 5000 gold and just the basic equipment. There have a lot of tricks to finish the boss with full life. For the last boss, just jump and hit by jamming it against one of the wall. Beaten in 30 seconds max
hahaha lol , you cannot reach the boss with basic equipment ..
Yes you can if the boots drop from monsters, he means without buying
Please show us
3:04 Don´t buy boots. You have en trick in the place you stand at 5:58.
8:40 I Buyed yellow.
10:15 You must continue with the yellow one to not spend gold.
10:50 New shield
19:00 Yo have to jump constantly. It gives you all 60 or more gold each. Maybe it's because of the armor too. With silver boots the trick doesn't work.
21:00 I played with a question that the answer was "pizza". I liked to fight him.
29:40 Too much lucky!
35:30 Must buy the shield
45:25 Extremely lucky!!!
You can put the Dragon againts the wall.
You are a Hero! Do you know where I can find these game on line?
download mame
The correct answer to the Sphinx, depends if you kill , one , both or none of the Skeleton guards outside the door ;)
The answer is given by bartender buying the cocktail wrong answer you need lengend boots to jump over lightning
god bro you make this game look so easy..
Thank you, you have taught me the way.
what's the rom's name? In my emulator, I used the Japan version wbml. But the English one, wbmlvc don't work!
I bought a Japanese PS2 to play this game. This is supposed to get released on the Nintendo Switch in the Sega Ages line (according to Wikipedia). Fingers crossed....
Awesome run well done
Even death is cute in this game
Fantastic music in this game.
The final maze is sadistic
Hey Seahawk0027 , did you know that there is actually a THIRD secrete door at the castle right before the last Labyrinth ? I mean right at the start you can see the FIRST door and after that you enter a secret door (1) there is ANOTHER one right next to it (2) which is the only part where are 3 doors in the row and you missed it in your Walkthrough.
In this door you can buy an ELIXIR...which i see you did not have in your video at this video and you can always use an ELIXIR :P
But dude..you are really amazing...respect ..cheers
zealeau and sells the pill
ending song is used in monsterworld for genesis! Its the opening main world song
1987!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D fichin clásico y complicado!
Is there a point to upgrading your shield if the basic one stops projectiles just as fine?
i think there is a difference in damage you receive
The purple shield and green armor makes the character harder to control
this guy is pretty good .. :)
i used to play at arcade .. 20 cents a game finished it most every time
question: why dont buy the legendary boots in the round two 6:00,? you have the money. Good game play by the way!.
I've wondered the same
So you probably know that it changes the jump height and walk speed. I find the mushroom boss very difficult when I jump much higher than he does using legendary boots. You end up having to hit him on the way up and down rather than at the top of the arc. That's the only serious reason I can think of.
Nexus Best to kill him first then purchase the boots
The church sanctioned version is called "Alter Boy in Molester Land".
Have now looked at some Wonderboy to adore, apparently nobody knows the trick, now I'll just write it in the comments.
In the Sphinx Round, where the spikes are and you keep getting gold, you have to stand exactly on the groove. So look a few millimeters from the edge in the direction of the spines. Always shortly before a piece of gold touches the third last spike, you have to jump and stab at the same time. If you do it accurately enough, you get 68 gold for every gold piece!
I had to go back to rewatch that, I thought he got it! Yeah at just the right spot a perfect simultaneous jump+stab forces a 6x gold coin, this was known to us back in the 80's arcades
Comment your best score
Heavy Armor? What are you, NUTS?!
Why do you keep killing those two serpents in the first round? (Watched too much David Icke?)
Yeah seemed like a waste of time to me. 500 bonus points
I hate the time limit.
I loved this game but it never made any sense as an arcade game for making money. One of the best games of the 80s.
I could never beat that damn sphinx.
This coud have become a serious opponent to Zelda. If it just got the attention it deserved.
Hi seahaw0027 can you tell me where you playing this? Is in a sega? Where can i get this game ..? Im dienig to play it back again it was one of my fav.. When i was young and was no PS or XBOX :)
Cristo sanchez I think that is using the MAME emulator, just google it and then look for the rom to play it. Is really easy to play these arcade gems today.
Thanks !!!
If you have PSN or X-Box Live then you can get this game with Monster World and the final fourth game in the series in a pack or separately, on X-Box Live it's called Sega Classics: Monster World.
Well actually I didn't check every single run but even though sometimes you miss a gold or two, you collect more money/points than the other people...
最終ドラゴンの攻略法は、ドラゴンの顎下辺りに主人公を配置させてジャンプ剣打撃。ドラゴンの懐に入り過ぎでジャンプ剣打撃をするとダメージをくらいます。
“I feel became lighter”
___ gold get!!!
x gold get? Something feels... wrong. Somebody set up us the bomb.
For great justice :P
And "Thank you for the important thing!" (Cadash)
it starts with let´s go brandon :D
Just a baby running around in a nappy!
At least on the Master System version he had armour straight away.
None the less, it's a good game.
Why are many of the hidden gold coins giving like 65+ gold most of the time? Is it the difficulty setting? The SMS and PC Engine versions never seem to give THAT much!
Are you playing on Hard difficulty or something? This seems brutal towards the end.
He's playing it on easy, the enemies take more hits to kill on hard.
abermok he got owned by the goblin
this game along with ghosts and goblins are the epitome of platformer fun! the only downside I see for this game is that its jump are not as the ghosts n goblins jump which are pre fixed aka realistic, meaning you do have control of your jump momentum in mid air (which I don't like) this kind of jump momentum control only worked best in Super Mario Bros.
Hi , could you help me please? i played when i was child and now i bought this game digital for ps3. To earn some trophies one of them ask to get all the hystoric equipment (but i do not know which is the storic one..i don't think i have to buy all swords , all shields and so on...) and the second question is : kill one high power ghost (they are the grey small ones. but i just meet red's . What do you do to front the grey ghosts??) thanks.
Sorry just one more question : to get 65 gold on... is necesessary to use the power? i see you throw the tornado against wall or enemy .
Hey Napoli , regarding your first question 1) the historic equipment are called "Legendary" in the game , there is a Legendary Sword, Legendary boots , Legendary armor and Legendary Shield. In the video you can see how the player is getting them. You need to follow the correct order like he does , in order to get them all. 2 ) The grey small ghost can only appear in specific parts of the game , check what the player of the video is doing after 26:30 and 29:30 . Usually you need to kill the red ghosts first and then the grey ones will appear. 3) To get 65 gold it is more easy and usual to get them with the magic tornado power. You can get them also if you jump and press "left" "right" "left" "right" several times before you fall on the ground, but its more difficult. I hope this helps you :)
fantastic game. spent hours on this in my local arcade. 10p a go LoL! miss those times.
Must been in ireland with the 10p I was the same myself.
Hi, i remember that there is another sword, it is a blue and lucent. It dropped in labyrint. There is another door hidden
A few differences I experience:
1. The hidden gold caches in your game give you more than 60 pieces of gold, but in my game, they give less than 10
2. It appears the version I play, I keep on missing the boss and get hit by boss when I actually hit them (graphically I hit them, but I am the one who lose HP)
I know others have mentioned the wiggle gold trick, I don't see a way to max equipment without that reasonably... about #2 - there is a very short window of invulnerability you can exploit immediately when you get a positive hit on an enemy including bosses - so long as your hit registers first you should not take a hit for about a second-ish
This game may be an arcade classic but dear god, the English translations were abysmal.
The ending to this game was also a total lulz fest. Wtf actually happened bc to this day I still don't know.
Spoiler alert: It makes zero sense.
