Introduction
The MEKA Dragon



Wonder Boy III: The Dragon’s Trap starts off at the tail end of the previous game: Wonder Boy in Monster Land.  Let me tell you, THIS castle is much easier than the castle in the end of the previous game! :P  Continue through the hallway, killing any and all snakes you come into contact with.  Use the springboard to hop up to the second tier and kill the blue snake.  Continue through the hallway, killing the red giant Cyclops and drop down the first pit you come to.  Walk to the left into the blue hallway.  You will eventually end up at a door toward the end of the hallway.  The MEKA dragon will be waiting for you!




The MEKA Dragon will have 100 HP and each hit you give the dragon will take away 8-12 HP from it.  All of the other dragon battles are structured like this, so get used to it.  When the MEKA Dragon approaches you, jump and strike its head with your sword, then back away.  The dragon will immediately shoot fire downward toward Wonder Boy.  Repeat this process until it is defeated.  Don’t worry about getting hit because it takes very little health away from you.  With its last breath, the dragon will turn you into a Lizard-Man!  Coins will begin falling everywhere.  Collect as many as you can and try to dodge the blue spirit until the coins stop falling.  The more you collect here, the more stuff you can buy in the first town.

           


You will now be thrown back into the blue hallway, without your sword and shield.  Now you will have to be wary of getting hit.  Your attack as Lizard-Man consists of shooting fire from your mouth with the attack button.  You can also duck and shoot fire for enemies that are low to the ground.  Now start walking down the hallway to the right, killing anything that comes in your path.  All of these enemies will only take one hit to kill.  The last giant Cyclops will give you a key for the door next to it.  Go through the door and tread onward carefully because blocks will be falling from the ceiling as the castle continues to fall apart.  There are a few more giant Cyclops here, but they are easy to defeat, so just continue through the passage.  At the end of the hallway, regular blocks will fall and make a make-shift stairway for you to climb and escape through the ceiling.  You will find yourself outside with yet more enemies.  Continue left all the way until you leave the screen.  This signals the end of the game’s introduction.

           




You will now find yourself in the first town.  You can also get to know this town as your home base.  Unfortunately, you were unable to hold onto the Legendary Arms and all of the Life Hearts you had back in the MEKA Dragon’s castle.  You are now equipped with the measley Ivory Arms and you are down to one heart.  Now is the time to write down your password so you don’t have to go through all of that again if you should happen to lose your life energy!  Here is a password in case you forgot yours:
