The game being packed to the brim with secrets like that made it so much fun to keep playing. Without that boot upgrade, you can never reach it. But early on, the speed you gain is JUST enough to reach that cloud.

Those kind of incremental upgrades in Wonder Boy in Monster Land are actually tiny, so they're not immediately noticeable until you have several boot upgrades that you're moving significantly faster. That's when it clicked that things like boots made you run faster, jump further. My sister was sitting beside me and she figured out that the reason she could jump further is because she had bought boots in the village before the cave. Well, she eventually died and then handed the controller off to me, and I got to that point and tried to jump to the cloud but couldn't make it. My sister was playing, and jumped over there, and managed to land on the clouds, and out popped a couple of hidden coins.

You're supposed to go right and ride a cloud to the mushroom boss, but after you climb the ladder, there are a few clouds over the left side that look like they're just background art. We get to round two, and after the cave section, there is the bit where you climb the ladder into the sky. So one day, my sister and I are playing the game.

WONDERBOY IN MONSTER WORLD CHARMSTONE UPGRADE

A permanent item upgrade was sort of new ground for us. Things like in a shmup, a power up making you throw bombs. Usually in old games, when you got a power up, it was temporary, went away usually with damage or time, and they were things like different kinds of shots. Remember, this was 1988, we didn't have lots of previous games worth of examples of things like statistics. I recounted this story in the Monster Boy thread, but I distinctly remember when it clicked to me about stats and equipment in this game.

Some of my earliest memories are of me and my sister sitting down and playing the game. I've basically played that game my entire life, very consistently.

The closest you'd get is New Adventure Island on PSN, but that's only playable on the PS3 or PSP/Vita. There are no real ports of the original Wonder Boy available, although there is a really crappy remake called "Wonder Boy Returns" on steam which didn't get mentioned in this topic for a specific reason.

WONDERBOY IN MONSTER WORLD CHARMSTONE PC

Monster Boy will release on PC in a few weeks, but it's available on PS4 and Xbox One right now. My only gripe (personally) is that the remake removes the Charm Points system from the original Dragon's Trap, but that was always a contentious system. It also includes a new character: Wonder Girl. The remake of The Dragon's Trap includes brand new art, but also includes the ability to switch back to the original art by pressing a button: The PS4, Xbox One, and PC both saw the release of Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap remake a couple of years back. Note that, for people with an Xbox One, the Wonder Boy Vintage Collection is backwards compatible. Despite being cut down, it's still an awesome collection, because it features lots of great extras, just like a Sega Ages release: This is actually a stripped down release of the Monster World Complete Collection on the PS2, which was a Sega Ages release. The Xbox 360 and PS3 saw the release of the Wonder Boy Vintage Collection, which includes a port of Wonder Boy in Monster World for the Genesis, the first ever english-world release of the arcade version of Wonder Boy in Monster Land, and the english version of Monster World IV.
