Damn, so much misinformation in these comments
1 - This game is NOT the original, it was completely redrawn and reprogrammed in house by SEGA.
2 - Both Adventure Island and this were built off the arcade original, except this one could keep the name.
3 - Hudson only legally had to change the name. They changed the character because they felt like it.

Adventure Island was built off of this.

Funnily enough, there's a new game based on this one with HD sprites and the option to play as Tanya. It even sticks with the "Wonder Boy" title.

@Snessy the duck Hudson had the rights to port Wonder Boy to the NES from Westone, but they had to use their own characters, as SEGA had their own console and could sue in the US if Hudson used their characters. After the first Adventure Island was a hit, Hudson made their Wonder Boy ports for the TurboGraphx and made their own Adventure Islands for the NES with blackjack and hookers.

This game is a ripoff of Adventure Island, isn't it?
