Overview Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap takes place immediately after the events of Wonder Boy in Monster Land , Wonder Boy travels into the Mecha Dragon's lair in order to slay him. (Some sources refer to this creature as the "MEKA dragon". [1] [2] ) However, upon doing so, he is inflicted by a curse that transforms him into "Lizard-Man". In the game, the player controls Wonder Boy as he tries to undo this curse by journeying across the land, defeating other dragons, and finally defeating the Vampire Dragon to obtain the Salamander Cross – the only object that can remove his curse. [3] After completing the first level in the game (a simplified version of the final level from the preceding game Wonder Boy in Monster Land ), the player begins as Lizard-Man from Alsedo, a town in Monster Land, and the gameplay becomes nonlinear . [4] From there, the player explores and finds items and clues needed for Wonder Boy to access different parts of Monster Land. [5] Gold and additional secondary items can be found by defeating enemies and opening treasure chests. With gold, players can buy additional items and better equipment in shops and restore their life meter in hospitals. Items with question marks displayed cannot be bought unless the player has "charm", which can be increased by collecting Charm Stones or by equipping certain items.
