Line 2: [[File:leo_and_papillo_1259.jpg\|frame\|Leo and Papillo from ''Monster Lair''.]] ~~The~~'''''Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair''''' is the third game in the ''[[Wonder Boy]]'' series and the first in the ''Monster World'' sub-series. The last Wonder Boy arcade game features two protagonists, Leo and Purapril (aka Priscilla), as they set off to free their land from a monster invasion. {{tropelist}} ~~=== Tropes in ''Monster Lair'': ===~~ * [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: Once you beat the game, you get to play through again wearing the Legendary Armor, with a higher difficulty level. * [[Big Boo's Haunt]]: Round 9 and 13. * [[Big Fancy Castle]]: The sixth stage. The prior stage has you [[Death Mountain\|ascending a mountain]] to reach the castle. * [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: The arcade version's [[A Winner Is You\|ending text]]. "The invaders from the space were destroyed by your courageous fight..." The Megadrive's ending screen isn't much better. * [[Cyber Cyclops]]: The Round 13 boss. * [[Degraded Boss]]: The cactus-o-lantern boss returns as a [[Giant Mook]] in Round 13. * [[Direct Continuous Levels]]: Rounds 4-6, 9-10, and 11-14. * [[Dub -Induced Plot Hole]]: The manual for the [[TurboGrafx-16]] version calls the protagonist Adam, but the high scores still show his name as Leo. Worse, the manual lists the Legendary Armor as the "Legendary Weapon of Complete Destruction". * [[Eternal Engine]] / [[Space Zone]]: Level 14. * [[Everything's Worse with Bees]]: Round 4 and its boss. * [[Gaiden Game]] / [[Alternate Continuity]]: This picks up from the ending of the arcade version of ''Monster Land'', where aliens steal the Legendary equipment. This is inconsistent with the SMS sequel, where Bock [[Bag of Spilling\|leaves it behind]] in the collapsing castle after being cursed, but regains it near the end of the game.▼ * [[Gameplay Roulette]]: The first half of each round is [[Auto Scrolling]] platforming, the second half, where you fight the boss, is [[Shoot'Em Up]]. * [[Green Hill Zone]]: Round 4.▼ ▲* [[Gaiden Game]] / [[Alternate Continuity]]: This picks up from the ending of the arcade version of ''Monster Land'', where aliens steal the Legendary equipment. This is inconsistent with the SMS sequel, where Bock [[Bag of Spilling\|leaves it behind]] in the collapsing castle after being cursed, but regains it near the end of the game. ▲* [[Green Hill Zone]]: Round 4 * [[Hard Mode Filler]]: Stages 11, 12, and 13 are mainly rehashes of Stages 1, 5 (with a touch of 7's [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]]) and 9 (also iced over) respectively. * [[Ice Palace]]: Round 13.
