This is the best version of Wonder Boy 3. Exactly like the original, with added features to make this game a whole lot easier and faster to beat. Press a button now to use magic, Retro and new Music along with graphics. No more getting 99 charm stones to unlock equipment you buy. Save files that when you quit & restart the game it saves everything money & magic. 3 Difficulty settings Easy - Hard. Timer on hard. 5 charm stones to get with 5 guys to unlock the Gallic sword. 4/5 needed.

The animation alone just makes it must-play. It's side-scrolling, monster-battling standard fare, but ohhhhh the animation.
