Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap
Action

Publisher	Sega of Europe
Series	Wonder Boy

The game begins at the end of the previous Wonder Boy game with the character all armored up. He will be able to traverse through the castle with the enemies hardly doing any damage to him. After he faces the Mecha dragon, he has been cursed and changed into a Dragon himself. His goal is to find the Salamander Cross so he can return to human form.

This game keeps features from the previous Monster World game, like buying equipment and using items. Unlike its predecessor it is not divided into a sequence of levels, but the character is allowed to go anywhere, as long as he has the right form or equipment. Upon defeating various dragon bosses, the character would be cursed and turned into another (were-)animal. He will go through the shapes of lizard, mouse, piranha, lion, hawk and finally his original human form. Each animal has different abilities, and switching between them is required to progress.
