Remixed Level: The Meka Dragon's lair, which is actually a much shorter and much easier version of the previous game's final level.Recycled Title: The PC Engine version is named Adventure Island, but had nothing to do with Hudson's series of the same name (which branched off from a remake of the first Wonder Boy).Pig Man: The shop owners and the guy who runs the church, at least in the Master System version.Password Save: Relatively simple for the complexity of the game.One Size Fits All: All armors can equipped by the protagonist, no matter what form he's in.This is elaborated further down in a dedicated list.Multiform Balance: While the forms generally get better as you progress through the game, each has its unique strengths and all of them are used in the final dungeon (except Lizard-Man, which you will probably never use again after getting Mouse-Man).Metroidvania: Each boss defeated gives you a new form, which allows you to access more areas.The English Game Gear version drops the numeral and is simply titled Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap.The PC Engine version of Dragon's Curse is titled Adventure Island.While the Master System version uses the title Monster World II when played on a Mark III, Monster World II was never officially released for the Mark III in Japan. The Game Gear version in Japan was released as Monster World II: Dragon no Wana.Load-Bearing Boss: After defeating the mechanical dragon in the first castle, it collapses once you escape with it.Law of Chromatic Superiority: All of the mooks come in three palette swapped varieties, with the green monsters being the weakest, the red ones being moderately strong and the blue ones being the strongest. Involuntary Transformation: Damn blue flames.Interchangeable Antimatter Keys: Even though some locks look different from others (depending on whether you have to unlock them once or every time), the same keys will work on all of them.Cursed with Awesome: You'd think that being turned into a dragon or lion-type monster would be bad, if not for the special abilities that came with them.Otherwise, the game's menus and messages will still be in English.
