A series of side-scrolling [[Platform Game|platform games]] developed by Sega and Westone. Originally began as a trilogy of thematically-related arcade games (''Wonder Boy'', ''Monster Land'', and ''Monster Lair''), each with drastically play mechanics from the last. The second arcade game spun-off the ''Monster World'' sub-series on home consoles, which adapted an action RPG approach.

* [[Compilation Rerelease]]: The aforementioned ''Monster World: Complete Collection'' not only has all six main games, it also includes all of the cross-platforms ports (at least the ones that came out on Sega consoles) and some of the different regional releases.
* [[Genre Shift]]: The three arcade games in the series are different from each other. The first ''Wonder Boy'' is a straightforward platformer, ''Monster Land'' is an action RPG, and ''Monster Lair'' is an [[Auto Scrolling]] platformer with [[Shoot'Em Up]] segments. All of the console sequels though, stuck to the action RPG format of ''Monster Land''.
