About this game

Bikkuriman World is an action-platform adventure developed by Westone and published by Hudson Soft. Released on October 30, 1987, it adapts the style of Wonder Boy in Monster Land with a slower pace and greater emphasis on exploration and strategy.

Beginning with little equipment, the hero receives a sword and travels through platform-based levels filled with monsters and bosses. Defeated enemies can leave coins or money bags, while hidden spots may conceal additional treasure.

Collected money can be spent in shops on armour, shields, weapons, and faster shoes. A bar can also restore energy for a price. Each level is time-limited, and running out of time drains energy from the heart meter.
