first of all, that's monster land (monster world 1). second, that's the shitty SMS port where you lose all momentum during your horizontal jump whenever you attack. the arcade game didn't do that and horizontal jump attacking is a pivotal tactic when you're going for a 1cc. third, you can't re-enter boss fights in the arcade version. the only one u can redo is the kraken. Therefore, you're forced to use glitches to get 65-68 drops from hidden coins

>>2691267
kek. if you don't know about monster land's money glitches and how important they are when going for a 1cc, then you probably haven't played the game very much, if at all. So, don't accuse me of being a shitter if you don't know much about the game

Oh shut up you bull-shitting retard. I saw your post asking to explain the glitches, which you conveniently deleted after a few minutes. Check the archive, nigger. I know it was you because back then there were a total of FOUR posters on this thread. Now there are 10.

So just shut the fuck up, anyone who has 1cc the arcade game knows how fucking pivotal the money glitches are. The mere fact that you didn't know about the glitches, and the fact that you think u can get legendary gear without the glitches proves that you play on the SMS version which is infinitely easier

I haven't gotten far enough into any of the versions to state a preference, but Revival's music is far superior to any of the other scores.

The official Monster World Collection for PS2 actually has an option that does the wiggle for you automatically. The "superplays" in that game USE all the glitches.

The wiggle and other money glitches (oh, you thought it was JUST the wiggle? lol u newb) have become an integral part of the game.

you don't need to exploit the money glitch to get the legendary gear which is pretty essential to a 1cc. I have beat the SMS version the arcade version and bikkuriman world (pc engine version) and have never had to exploit. Infact the glitch doesnt even work in bikkuriman world and other than that its arcade perfect apart from models still the same hitboxes though.

It's not a glitchfest though, it has its share of bugs but if you want to call it a "glitchfest" might as well slap that tag onto tons of games like Pokemon is a glitchfest so is ocarina of time better avoid those glitchfests,

>> No.2695560

>>2695550
I highly doubt you can consistently get to the point of getting legendary gear without using money glitches during a 1cc run on the arcade game. I highly, highly doubt it. Maybe 1 run in 20.

I never played Bikkuriman World. Didn't Hudson port the game? Westone didn't

>>2695551
But the difference is that among those who play Wonder Boy Monster Land (arcade version at least, and players who are able to 1cc it) at least 90% of them use the money glitches. It's extremely common and practically second nature for WBML players. Glitches in other games aren't well known and are not as ubiquitously used

>> No.2695567

>>2695560
butthole I just said it was possible not necessary, I don't think it's a game to avoid because it has some helpful exploits. I actually just played it for the very first time last year and I had so much fun with it I had to master the game. It was fun to play the gold was fun to find it was fun to try and make it through without buying any health powerups so you could afford decent gear. The part most people actually complain about is the jumping segment in mechadragons castle which is actually a breeze with the legendary boots and gear. You need the whole set for the boots to have any traction though. I didn't find out any glitches until I had already beaten the game too they make the game a lot easier because you can afford heals and stuff too but I don't think people should avoid playing it because it has some exploits.

>>2695567
Idiot, if you can find me ONE video of a wbml ARCADE 1cc run that does NOT use any money glitches, then i'll admit that i was wrong. No "longplays" btw, those are tool-assisted.

I'm not going to bother replying to any other post since

1) i never told anyone NOT to play this game, dummy

2) i never said the game sucks, you illiterate douchebag

3) i explained the glitches sufficiently and even provided proof of how commonly-used they are by most players (e.g. the OFFICIAL game in the PS2 collection even has an OPTION to make it come out automatically)

Find me ONE video.

It's not just the lack of characters that makes the MD version bad. The entire game mechanics was butchered, enemies behave differently (i.e. stupidly - For instance, in the MD version, enemies will follow you down ropes like nincompoops. That's just the tip of the iceberg.), the hit detection and hit stun are bad and at times feels more like Sword of Sodan than a Taito classic, a major boss was removed, etc etc etc.

But yeah, the arcade version is a fantastic game and a classic.
