Monster World IV's Companion Critter

Original Post Date: 2/14/2023
Monster World IV was Westone's final Wonder Boy/Monster World title, a colorful little 2D platformer with great music. But its Companion Critter mechanic helps it to stand out in the sea of platformers from that era. Your blue Pepelogoo shakes up the gameplay and how you interact with the game world to the extent that I think it's worth looking into further.

I also talk about the remake, Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World. After seeing the trailers, I was surprised by what I found there.
