Wonder Boy 2 Arcade Version
Decent run with some fails in the early coins and in some bosses which I should have beaten with no hits taken but instead I even lost the Revival Pill (Which is actually a potion!)
One of a kind game with the worst translation I have ever seen.
If you are patient enough to watch to the end (or skip to the final boss) you can taste the epic phail in the translation on the final message...
Most coins I have ever spent in arcades was in this game!

This was one of the first arcade adventures that introduced character development, the music takes me back everytime.

Yes. This was the first game where I actually felt like I was going out on an adventure.

You need to shake the joystick left to right consistently to get between 65 - 68 golds. :)

Yes. And apparantly there are some other tricks that works as well.

Wonder Boy suddenly realized he wouldn’t run out of energy if he stopped running in place all the time. It took Master Higgins a lot longer to figure that out.

This has got to be the most cryptic game ever. I wonder how long it took for someone to actually pass it with all it's hidden paths. I played it blindly and got stuck on like the 5 stage, I was like: WTF am I suppose to do?

The only thing I kind of miss about this game is the crazy wiggling of the joystick in the actual arcade machine. I am still unsure if it's the wiggling or just hitting the sword button at the right time that causes larger coins to appear but back then this game was eating all my money so it didn't matter... Wiggle like crazy and hope for the best!

Well, instead of the ruby you are supposed to grab the bell and it rings when you take the correct way, but then again you have to know that beforehand... I eventually memorized the correct path by watching other kids do it and from that point on, only took the ruby.

@Dosmod 6 ай бұрын

Yeah always seemed inconsistent. On the actual arcade, wiggling the joystick really fast as you passed the trigger for the coin did the trick most of the time. In mame I can also do it by pressing jump and attack at the exact frame the coin triggers ...sometimes 😞. Still don't know the actual cause though... Too many inputs at the same time with the coin maybe?

It's not the normal rom. You take too much money, usually it's not like that. And you have to kill boss for passing the stage O_o. You just pass the mushroom boss who is really anoying

Back in the day when I played this on the local arcade the Goblin (mushroom boss) was not optional. It was considered the noob filter as most kids like me couldn't beat it and advance the game. The only difference I remember from this playthrough was that the small mushrooms took 2 hits to die instead of 1. Amount of gold was the same.

The Sega Master system version is a lot better than this arcade version. For one when you use the potion it revives all of your hearts. Bosses and enemies are easier to kill. The levels are cut down and done a lot better. Graphics for the giant heart looks a lot better. You knock on doors instead of just entering. The status screen is better when you pause and when you play. It just looks better and sharper.
