Wonder Boy in Monster World ,.___/|_____________ Megadrive / Genesis _____________|\___., |\\\\||____________/ Text Dump \____________||\\\\| '' \| by oblivion from aoc |/ '' oblivion_ee hotmail.com Version: 1.1 BIG SPOILERS AHEAD! This is all the text ripped from Wonder Boy, it had to be reformatted and uncompressed. Everything from enemy names, item names, signs and speech dialog is included. The only readable things that are not included are stored in picture-form such as the title screen. Also any weird symbols you see is Japanese text which was not translated because it did not make the final release of the game. The structure is roughly from the start of the game to the ending, but I left some comments in brackets if you want to find certain things. Press CTRL+F and enter the code to jump that section. FAQ. 1. What are those weird letters under the inventory list? They are unused key items in the game which haven't been translated to english. Their translation is rapidpad and rod, they do nothing if you use a cheat cartridge to acquire them. 2. I do not recognise some of the text here, where can I find it? Some text can only be read by trying to skip levels and do thing you are not suppose to. So when you are allowed to access certain parts of the game, you can no longer find this text. There does not appear to be any text which can't be accesed at some point in the game. 3. What text is in picture form that is not included in this dump? Just the load up screen and main title screen, and ending screen which includes: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEGA TM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WONDER BOY TM IN MONSTER WORLD TM NEW GAME PRESS START BUTTON CONTINUE (c) 1991 SEGA ORIGINAL GAME (C) 1989 WESTONE CO.,LTD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HAHAHA THE END TO BE CONTINUED ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: The start title text may differ considerably depending on the version/region of the game.

Welcome to Monster World! Once again this world is being threatened. The princess has been kidnapped from Purapril Castle. You'd better use caution. Here's an Elixer and Firestorm. Take them with you. Make sure you're ready to use magic at all times! What are you waiting for? Get moving! //Village sign posts SP1 Alsedo, the fairy village Purapril Castle Entrance Maugham Desert- enter at your own risk! Lilypad, the dwarf village Begonia, the dragon village Childam, the Darkworld village Purapril, the Aqua Capital Welcome to Purapril Castle. Stay as long as you like. This is Purapril Castle! Entry is prohibited. Go away! I hear that peace has returned to Alsedo. It appears that the village of Alsedo is being attacked. I just told you that no one may enter the castle. Did I speak too fast for you? Looks like we're sold out of everything. Come on back some other time. Welcome to Bacchus, a store with a reputation for good service. We have great confidence in the products we sell. Use this item wisely! Oh, I'm terribly sorry. We seem to be out of stock on that item. Welcome to Kishera. Stand in front of the item you wish to purchase and look up. Thank you very much. Hmmm... I'm out of stock on that right now. Try back later. Welcome to Felissimo. We have a medicine for sale. Use medicines with care. ￾I'm Sonia. The village is under attack. I don't know all the details, so you'd better see Eleanora. If you stand between the statues and look up, you can find her. I'm Queen Eleanora. The monsters come from a cave just beyond the village. Can't you help us? Take Priscilla with you. She may be able to help you. Remember, though, that once you set foot outside Alsedo, Priscilla will return to me, as she won't be able to help you any more. Is Priscilla helping you? You need the Ocarina to open the cave doors, but I lost it somewhere inside the cave. Keep in mind that when you equip a spear, you can't use a shield. Remember this when selecting a weapon. Queen Eleanora is a wonderful person, isn't she? Queen Eleanora was calling for you earlier. Why don't you pay her a visit? If it's the cave up ahead that you wish to know about, go ask Sonia. Our village is free! We are all very grateful. Good morning. Did you sleep well? Good luck to you on your journey. That was close. You shouldn't take chances like that! Please be more careful! Oh, it's the Ocarina! You went there to look for it, didn't you? The melody of the Ocarina may help to break the seals. Let's practice. Think you've got it? Play these melodies whenever you're in the cave. You've forgotten the melodies already? You're realy hopeless, you know? Let's practice them again. Have you got it now? If you forget them again, come on back and I'll help you out. Thanks to you, the village is saved. Keep the Ocarina. It might come in handy. Did the Ocarina prove useful? Thank you so much. Alsedo is once more a peaceful village. Go beyond the large tree and you'll reach Purapril. If you're ever in need of help of any kind, come and see me. I'm forever in your debt. How's your journey going? There are still a great many people in need of your help. Go now and do everything in your power to save them! Oh oh, looks like everything's gone. Come around again sometime. Buy something, will you? If you don't, I'll start breathing fire! Oh, thank you. You're rolling in dough,aren't you? What? I've got nothing to sell! I guess the shop is closed now... Find anything you like? I would create a sword from the Old Axe, but a necessary item to do so has been stolen from me. With the Fire-Urn, I can create a sword from the Old Axe. It will take some time. The Elder Dragon was calling for you a while ago so why don't you go and see him? It's not ready yet. Please wait just a little longer. It's finished! Here you go. Use its legendary powers and save Monster World for us! One of the children of my village has been kidnapped. I don't want to see anyone. Do me a favor and just go away. Please... You're the one who saved the child? I am eternally grateful to you. You're a hero. Now you should meet Poseidon. He is in a perpetual sleep at the bottom of the sea. In order to swim underwater, you need Poseidon's Trident. Unfortunately, the monsters have gotten their claws on it... You found the Trident! Now you're able to swim underwater. Go find Poseidon! Looks like I'm a storekeeper with nothing to sell! Welcome to Gooningle's. I may not have the best shop in the land, but there's not a friendlier store{ keeper around! Now that's a fine piece, isn't it? I'm terribly sorry, but I seem to be out of stock. Welcome to Drapnell sundry goods. Thank you. Be sure to use magic carefully. Rise and shine! You're wasting precious daylight! Get enough rest? Good! Good luck to you! Boy, that was a close call. Better keep your eyes open. At last you've come. I knew you would appear before too long. Now, you must search for the Old Axe hidden in Ice World. To get to Ice World, you'll need this special Bracelet. Shion takes the Bracelet. I already gave you the Bracelet. So, you've managed to get your hands on the Old Axe. The Blacksmith will give you all the details. This boy is my grandson. Take him with you, for I belive he can be of some help. You must hurry. Find the Old Axe and then return to me. The deciding battle is now at hand. After receiving the Legendary Sword from the Blacksmith, go to the Bell Tower at Purapril Castle and point the sword toward the sky. Emerge victorious and return safely! We're counting on you! I'm terribly sorry, but I seem to be out of stock. Welcome to Sundry. See anything you like? The Charmstone is... wait a minute! I'm not going to tell you that! It's been years since we last had a visitor. Your journey has just begun. Please take care. The jellyfish will help you on your way. Maugham Desert is a forbidding place. It is said that one who wears the Oasis Boots can cross the desert. It looks like the store over there is open. I know of a dwarf village deep in the woods that lie ahead. I believe it's called Lilypad. The well at Purapril Castle is connected to the sea by an underground waterway. It's only a rumor, but I've heard of a house that's hidden somewhere in town. My younger brother, Hotta, has been taken by the monsters. What am I going to do? The monsters have a den just beyond the village. Could they be holding Hotta there? You're the one who saved my brother! He wants to go with you. You know, he just may be able to help you. Don't go too far, though... My brother seems to have grown very fond of you. Please take him out again sometime. Thank you again for your help. Has my brother been able to help you at all? He's very good at finding hidden rooms, you know. You've done well to find this place, but I'm afraid I don't speak to anyone not holding a Charmstone. How about trading your Charmstone for this Heart? Oh, you will trade. How about that! Come back anytime, friend. No deal, eh? Well, come on back some other time. Oh, sorry. Your Heart supply can't get any larger. If you have two Charmstones, I can increase your magical powers. How about trading me those two Charmstones for some new magic? Oh, you will trade! Great! Come on by anytime you're in the area. Oh, well. Can't win'em all. Hope to see you again. Oh, my mistake. You can't handle any more magic. Sorry about that. The Myconid! It looks like the store is closed. Sold out? I'm not surprised. Guess it's time to head out and collect some more weapons. Hey, come on in and help us celebrate the Grand Opening of our shop. This is Wanderer, the finest weapon shop in the land. Back again, eh? Nothing but the best for my customers. I've collected these items on my many journeys. It's locked. I had been taken prisoner by the monsters. Please come to the castle hall. I'd like to thank you. The gate to the castle has been opened. Why don't you go on inside? If you have the Amulet, you can find the shrine at the bottom of the sea. Let me have your Ocarina and I'll tell you where to find the Amulet. What do you say? There's a door hidden amidst four palm trees. From there you should be able to find the Amulet. Oh, that's too bad. If you need my help, drop by again. Did you forget what I told you? OK. Find four palm trees, then find the door that's hidden amidst them. Good luck. If you have the Amulet, the shrine will appear right before your eyes. So you're the legendary hero! Now maybe my father will be able to get a decent night's sleep. I'm the daughter of Poseidon. You're here at last. The legendary hero. The Elder Dragon is waiting for you. Before you meet him, though, visit the Sphinx to increase your strength. There's a Pyramid just beyond the Maugham Desert. An item that will help you cross the desert is hidden somewhere in this shrine. Find it and then go see the Sphinx. What are you dilly- dallying about for? Many people await your help. I'm going back to sleep. He's already in a deep sleep. The princess has returned safely. I'm so relieved. The princess is waiting. Make yourself at home. The door has been sealed. So you've arrived. As you may have guessed, I'm the Sphinx. I've got this thing for quizzes, but then you've probably heard that by now. Tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna ask you some questions - 5, to be exact. When you've answered them all correctly, I'm gonna send you into a new world. Are you ready? Here's the first question. Here's the second question. Here's the third question. Here's the fourth question. Here's the final question. This is terrible. You missed every one!. Looks like the end of the line for you... How sad. You only got one right. I can't let you pass... This is no good. You only got two correct. Come back and try again. Not bad, but not good enough. You got 3 right. Try the quiz one more time. You're so close. You only missed one! I'll let you pass! That's fantastic! You got every one right! As your reward, I bestow upon you Thunder Magic. You may pass. The Elder Dragon has something he wishes to discuss with you. Please go to him now. Only one bearing the Ancient Axe can enter the volcano. I saw someone carring the Fire- Urn and preparing to enter the volcano. The shop is closed. I'm Shiela Purapril. I thank you for rescuing me. I heard that you're on a journey and that you're battling the monsters. Why don't you stop by the village of Lilypad? There may be something there for you. Watch out for monsters on your way. I Thank you again. Are you having a safe journey? Rumor has it that you're the legendary hero. Is it true that you crossed the desert? That's incredible! I heard you went to Ice Castle. Be very, very careful. I worry about you. The Sphinx! The Bracelet has begun to glow. The seal is broken. Forgive me, but we seem to be sold out. Please come again. Thank you for coming. This is the weapon shop known as Labyrinth. Thank you very much. What an excellent choice! It looks like I'm a storekeeper with nothing to sell! Ha, ha, ha, ha... Well, come on in. Take your time. You're the legendary hero I've heard so much about. The item you're looking for is in Ice Castle. Be warned-it's a frightening place. Take Shabo with you, in case you need help. The Old Axe, in its original form, is of no use to you. You'd better return to Begonia and see the Blacksmith. You're finally starting to look like a hero. It appears that my job is done. Now, your final battle will no doubt be fierce, but I'm confident that you'll triumph and that will be allowed to return to our land. To enter the volcano, you must enter the room on the other side of this door, but in order to enter, you must have the following items: the Pygmy Sword, Pygmy Armor, Pygmy Shield, and Pygmy Boots. You have satisfied the requirements. You may enter. One of the items is missing. Continue your search. You need two more items. Continue your search. You have only one of the four you need. Continue your search. You have yet to find even one of the items. You must find all four. Gragg & Glagg! The Ice Bomber! The Tyrant Dragon! The Almighty Demon King! I've heard that the Sphinx in the Pyramid likes quizzes. If you have a certain special item, you can swim underwater. The star crest on this Bell Tower is the same as the insignia on the weapon of the legendary hero. The princess told me this a long time ago. You're very strong. I hope one day I'll be so strong. It is said that there's a shrine at the bottom of the sea, but no one's ever been able to find the entrance. I am the Prince of DarkWorld, and you must be the legendary hero. I was under the control of Biomeka, a deadly creature from outer space, but I'm alright now. Thank you for coming to my aid.... Some hero. Is that the best you can do? Well, watch this! Not too bad, eh? Now, let's see if you've got what it takes. You're really going to go,aren't you... Can't you stay with me? No, you're the legendary hero. You must go. Be sure to come back safely. I'll be waiting right here for you. There's a convenient slot.... Shion inserts the Gold Gem. The Gem doesn't fit! Shion inserts the Blue Gem. A secret lies in the surface of the walls of Ice Castle. Do you know where the prince went? I think he's gone to Nightmare Castle. He's probably attempting to collect the legendary weapons. It looks as though he's got all but one of them... It's sealed. You can ride a jellyfish! The monsters have come and made this their home, so no one may enter! Finally, the long, treacherous journey has reached its end. None of the people in Monster World will ever forget what they've been through, nor will they forget the hero who gave their lives back to them. The story of Shion's valiant struggle will no doubt be passed on from generation to generation. And so ends another episode in the adventures of "Wonder Boy". Welcome home, Shion. I'm so happy you made it back safely. I don't think I'll ever forget you... ever. The dwarf child is in danger! Danger! The desert lies ahead!
