Touted as a masterpiece on the SEGA Master System, Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap has the titular character get cursed by a dragon in the opening stage, stripping him of his humanity. What follows is a journey with Wonder Boy getting transformed into numerous different forms that he must use to travel the land and get his human form back, thus lifting the curse. In 2017, the game was lovingly remade, released as Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap. The remake has gorgeous animation and art design along with a superb arranged soundtrack. You can tell the developers were huge fans of the original SMS game. They even gave players the ability to swap from the SMS visuals to the modern day art style with the press of a button. The very same can be down with the music. In the spirit of the remake having two soundtracks, I've decided to provide links to both the 1989 SMS audio and the 2017 remake.
