As of yesterday, we dropped a video that features unused voice clips of Asha from Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World. Many of these are proof of the unused Gallery and Time Attack modes!

Greetings, everyone! This is one of your admins, XBuster speaking. I've come here today for a short discussion regarding the wikia and its updates as well as updates that are currently underway. If you are a fan of the saga, do pay attention as I'll need full cooperation from everyone here including contributors, editors and more. I won't be long!
The Wonder Boy Wikia Mega Expansion
Some of you may have noticed, but the wikia overall has expanded to a MASSIVE degree with wave after wave of new content ever since April 28th of this year. It was on my mind quite a bit to get this done as I had noticed how unfinished and severely outdated it was.
Over 170 (255 to 426) new pages have been added, a wealth of older/outdated pages have been updated with new text and galleries, and hundreds of images have been added, updated or deleted altogether to make way for its new era.
Discord integration has also been added so that fans new and old can join us on our server, which has series creator, Ryuichi Nishizawa with us!
Thank You Contributors!
I'd also like to thank those who have come by to assist here and there in areas that help was likely needed. @BuzzyBee34 for instance has been helpful on various pages over the past couple of weeks or so.
Hope For The Future
With the site mostly updated now (and still expanding), I do hope that in the future, we can keep things up to date as new entries come in. This franchise deserves so much better and it was long overdue to get things to where they should be in 2023.
Site Polishing Phase Announcement
The last thing I'd like to mention is that on May 17th-18th, I'll be going on a site punctuation update regarding categories. I am requesting that no contributors edit any of the categories that have lowercase words in them as they're all being updated to capital ones on that day. Categories are something that should be capitalized and seeing something like "Monster World IV enemies" instead of "Monster World IV Enemies" has been a bit of an eyesore.
Once everything's been updated, the lowercase category will be deleted, which in turn, will make the wikia that much more polished. It's a small change, but it will have a big impact regarding presentation, trust me.
Conclusion
That's about it everyone! I've kept an extremely close watch over Wonder Boy's history, its fandom and their contributions ever since 2012 and have built an archive of media over the past decade that aided in this update. Also, huge thanks to everyone such as @Quick and @Nemesislivezx who made it possible for me to become an admin in the first place. You chose the right guy and things are in very good hands!
A video about the Mega Drive classic where your blue Pepelogoo shakes up the gameplay and how you interact with the game world, making it stand out in a sea of 16-bit platformers. If you still haven't tried it, now's the time because it has never been easier. I also talk a bit about the remake, Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World.

It's been a while, but I've returned and am ready to apply the next wave of updates in various directories. This will include new information, a new entry for Wonder Boy Collection (if it hasn't already been added) and much more!
There's a handful of reasons why we need to complete the wikia for the saga, one being that we're about to expand once again to Reddit and a fan site chock-full of content both official and fan made. We hope you are looking forward to what is yet to come! :D
I've been wondering for a while and I believe that we need to integrate a discord server link here on the fandom page (on the side) so that new fans and veterans alike can join us.
We're nearly at 100 members now and series creator Ryuichi Nishizawa is also present there with us. It's time. Who do I have to speak with to make this happen?

I'm so suddenly happy that in Wonder Boy in Monster World, Sphinx is finally a girl. Apparently, she strongly resembles Ankha from Animal Crossing as both are Egyptian cats
An updated trailer has been posted for Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World! This new one shows off things such as bosses, some of the game's areas, the Japanese dub and more!
This is indeed an improvement over the first one and I'm very excited to finally play it in Q2 of this year!

Hey! I came by to ask something really quickly. It turns out that I uploaded the same video twice by mistake. Is it possible to remove it or is that something only the wikia admin can do?
Hello, everyone! I have come here to make a few announcements. I'll be as brief as possible. But first, I don't think I've properly introduced myself. I go by many names across the web, but primarily, I go by XBuster. I am huge fan of the series and developer of several fan works regarding the series including fan games, artwork, and music.
First, if you may have noticed, a lot of content has been added and updated lately on the Wonder Boy Wikia. Myself along others who are well aware of the series in its entirety have teamed up to complete this in the best way we possibly can. Expect to see lots of updates!
Second, if you are unaware, the 35th anniversary of the Wonder Boy series is in April 21st of 2021 and we're getting a complete remake of Monster World IV in the same year likely unless it is delayed to some degree. While the developers work on that, we have began a discord server for the series entirely. This server is for the sharing, discussion, and celebration of the series respectively. A link will be posted below for all who desire to join.
All content is welcome such as fan art, fan games, music covers, documents, and whatever you have to share as long as it is Wonder Boy/Monster World related. The next goal for the Wikia expansion is to update the content regarding Wonder Boy in Monster World as Monster World IV was mostly taken care of by us recently. That is all I have for you for now. Thank you for your time and the link is below!
Note: This is not an official server for the series by any means, but it is the closest that we have to one at the moment. Please take note of this.
Also please take note that while I am not an Admin here (at least not yet), I'll do my best to keep everything as updated as I can with what I am able to do currently. Thank you.

Boy, Tina, & my redesign of Pina in Wonder Boy Returns style win pose.
Let me introduce myself, I'm Arifkunviid, you can call me as Hikmori7 in other social media.
I want to join you to expand this wiki because I'm fan of Monster World series & many topic about this series is so overlooked that many people clueless what this franchise is about. It doesn't help Sega themselves not really push this series on marketing departement.
So I & my other friend want to collaborate with you to create informations, fun facts, & trivia surrounding this series to spread this for many retro gamers. I also want to help designing some wiki assets for custom graphics to help visualize this wiki like the header's banner for instance, but I don't know how to implement it into wiki scripting. As long as I have time & chance to do so, I would happy to help.
Nice to meet you! ?
