Wonder Boy in Monster World is one of my favorite games of all time, but this one is pretty decent too. I don't know, I just like the world in the previous one better.

I actually don't see why recommend it if you liked wbimw, yes it is the sequel but aside from Biomeka and the four spirits they really don't have that much in common, just like wonder boy 4 and 5
4 is terribly easy and the bosses aren't even interesting yet I like the dungeons, towns and music much more, Asha's cute butt is just a plus

Level design and puzzles are better and it's overrall a more challenging game. Plus, in MWIV the original sound tracks are just variations of the same theme. WBiMW is way more rich in this department.

MWIV is for sure one of the best pixel art of the generation but, to be fair, WBiMW was also a good looking game for the time of it's release and for sure it doesn't do bad nowadays on retro boards.

>Level design
Mostly yes
>Puzzles are better
The only puzzle is the ocarina one if you even count it as a puzzle, it doesn't hold a candle to the Ice Pyramid which is the only sizable puzzle in 4 too
>More challenging
It's completely true but I feel 4 would be much harder if the controls weren't that amazing Check out the way I called WBiMW clunky without having to sound line an asshole

Games like MWIV make me appreciate the games on Genesis that aren't shit brown. There's a real overload of shit brown games on Genesis, everybody always seemed to default to brown on NES and Genesis.

I got stuck at the boss of the lava level. I haven't bothered to go back because I don't play video games much. I watched a video of somebody beating that boss so I'll probably be able to beat it next time.

while the SNES did actually have more colors than the Genesis, the difference is exaggerated by the art styles developers chose. MWIV and Crusaders Of Centy go for an SNESish look and succeed.

but it's not as good as games like the Sonic, SoR, and Shinobi series' that look colorful but in a distinctly Segaish way.

You're a champ, for real. Will get around to playing it, eventually (I've been stuck on the "twin stone" boss in "Monster World III" for a few years now, and I want to beat that before experiencing MWIV and all its changes/upgrades)

Nice, thanks. Looks like I have all those I want, so far. Here's the ones I know to add to your list:

VC Alien Soldier is 60hz mod of the PAL English version

VC Arcade Wonder Boy in Monster Land is newly localized to English (credit again goes to >>5599234 for telling me about this one)

VC Sin & Punishment is newly localized to English, completely

VC European Mario Advance 4 has the e-Reader levels + new multi-language

VC Mario RPG, Zelda II and others with flashy seizure effects have had those effects toned down
