A 1989 Master System action-platformer by Westone in which a knight cursed into animal forms must defeat a series of dragons to lift the curse and reclaim his humanity.
Concept
A direct sequel to Wonder Boy in Monster Land, the game pioneered transformation-based platforming. Defeating each dragon turns the hero into a new animal form: Lizard-Man, Mouse-Man, Piranha-Man, Lion-Man, and Hawk-Man.
Gameplay
Each form unlocks new abilities. Mouse-Man fits through tiny gaps and walks on checkered surfaces, Hawk-Man flies freely, and Piranha-Man swims underwater.
Legacy
The 2017 remake by Lizardcube and DotEmu rebuilt the game with hand-drawn art while preserving the original level design. Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap remains one of the most acclaimed 8-bit metroidvanias.
