Boy

**Boy** (ボーイ) or **Wonder Boy**, is a recurring character in the *Wonder Boy* series.

## Wonder Boy (1986)

Boy is the protagonist of the first *Wonder Boy* game, where he sets out to rescue his girlfriend Tina from King. To do so, he uses an axe. He would then later be used as the protagonist in Wonder Boy in Monster Land and Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap, with a better arsenal, and then returning for Wonder Boy Returns and Wonder Boy Returns Remix.

According to the English Master System manual from *Wonder Boy in Monster Land*, Tom-Tom (Boy) and Book (named "**Bock Lee Temjin**" in the manual) **are the same characters**, but with Book being Boy 11 years older. *Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom* contradicts this statement by portraying the two side-by-side as different people. However, this was only done to pay **tribute to the different games** as stated by the developers.

## Wonder Boy Returns/Returns Remix

Boy is an energetic youth who gets caught by Tina with him spending time with two female islanders. He goes on a journey to rescue Tanya shortly after when she is kidnapped by the Red Devil (King in Returns Remix). In this remake of the original 1986 adventure, he has a new ability to charge the axes he throws to make them bigger, better and stronger, too.

## *Trivia*

* The original manual also states that **Tom-Tom is a friendly nickname** given to him in the Master System version of the original game, while **Wonder Boy is a title** he obtained after defeating King.
* In *Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom*, Boy, alongside Book and Shion, is one of the spirits from past heroes that appears to assist Jin. He can also be seen in a stained glass alongside Book, Shion, and Asha.
* In *Adventure Island*, Tom-Tom is replaced by **Master Higgins**, **Takahashi Meijin** (高橋名人) in Japan, a young man who ventured to Adventure Island in after hearing that the Evil Witch Doctor (King) kidnapped Princess Leilani (Tanya).

Adventure Island II

NES cover

***Adventure Island II***, known in Japan as ***Takahashi Meijin no Bouken Jima II***, is a action platforming game released by Hudson Soft in 1990 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is the second game in the *Adventure Island* series, and a direct followup to the original game.

From this game onwards, the *Adventure Island* series would go on with its own sequels with no input from Westone, while the original *Wonder Boy* series would follow a different direction with its own distinct sequels.

## Story

The story differs slightly between the western and Japanese versions of the game, with the western version once again involving the Evil Witch Doctor while the Japanese version introduces a new villain called Beelzebuff.

### English version

Well, that Evil Witch Doctor refuses to give up! Princess Leilani may be safe, but her sister, Tina, Has just been nabbed.

And this time you've got real trouble. Because not one, but EIGHT perilous islands stand between you and your honey. Get set to battle dinosaurs, survive avalanches and out fight the Evil Witch Doctor's nastiest ghouls.

It'll be tough, that's for sure. So just remember sweet Tina, and how grateful she'll be when you come to her rescue!

### Japanese version

Master Takahashi rescued Tina after a deadly fight with Kyura the Great. Adventure Island returned to its former peaceful state, with Takahashi and Tina living together with their natural companions.

One day, the evil invader "Beelzebuff" turned his eyes on Adventure Island and started the invasion. In the blink of an eye, the eight islands were occupied by Beelzebuff's minions, and even Tina was taken away by Beelzebuff. Takahashi and his friends set out in a new battle to save Tina and restore peace on the island.

## Gameplay

Adventure Island II plays very similarly to its predecessor. This time more emphasis is given to the platforming, while the screen can be scrolled backwards if necessary, giving a more leisurely pace to the game.

New to this game is the addition of dinosaur friends which the player can mount during the stages, these can be found from eggs much like other items and each of them have their own distinct ability. The player can carry these on between stages and store them, being able to select one of them before each stage.
