I've bought it and played 1 hour and 45 minutes so far. I'm on the Lion Man part. The retro mode runs at 60fps unlike the SMS which ran at 30fps because it is a weak little system that's just not powerful enough for the 60fps blazing mega speed.

I guess that they made to make it run at 60fps to keep the switch-mode in sync.

I don't remember there being a 60fps option in the PS2 Monster World Collection.

Played it up through the merman part. I absolutely love it. I found a secret area, which was crazy hard, but everything else plays just like the original.

Was the secret area something that was in the original or something they added?

I do not think it was in the original game, but I could be wrong. It was a secret door that I found by complete accident.

Although I did pick this game up for the Switch, I am much more excited for Monster Boy. I have waited a long time for the day when there would be a new installment in the series, I think Monster Boy will be the sequel that fans have been waiting for. Dragon's Trap is an excellent game though, one of the best, if not the best in the series.

Where is the secret door in the piranha area? I found something as Bird Man or Hawk Man all the way to the right in the Desert stage. Really hard because you keep getting juggled by everything on screen.

I'd say that The Dragon's Trap remake is an appetiser whereas Monster Boy will be the main course if you get what I mean ;3

Did everyone here get it for their Switch? I need to finish Zelda before I pick it up. Then again, I would prefer a physical release vs digital for obvious reasons.

That sounds like an area that was there in the original, maybe where you get the sword that breaks blocks I think?  Or maybe it's something seperate from that in the same area?

PS4.  It'd be cool if they made a Vita version, maybe get Limited Run to release a physical copy.

All I got was the Hawk Charm or something like that. I'm betting each animal has a charm hidden somewhere. You need all of them to buy the special item that the one shop won't sell you if you're not charming enough. Just a guess though.

I got it on the PS4 because that's waaaay more powerful than the Switch and Wonder Boy 3 needs all the power it can get. There's probably 20 or 30 sprites onscreen at once. Can't risk the flicker and slowdown.

Hmm, well, I'll get to that part soon enough.  I do remember needing the charms, though I think some armor also ups your charm IIRC.

PS4 4 da MEGA POWA!!!

If I remember correctly, there is a platform in the water with an open clam on it. Just go there and push up and a secret door will open.
