Hudson's Adventure Island, known in Japan as Takahashi-Meijin no Boukenjima (meaning "Master Takahashi's Adventure Island"), is a 1986 side-scrolling platform game by Hudson Soft for the MSX and Nintendo Entertainment System, where the player controls a tropical warrior named Master Higgins (known in Japan as Takahashi-Meijin, after Hudson's spokesman Toshiyuki Takahashi) on his quest to rescue his "favorite lady" (wife in later games) from King Quiller (AKA the Evil Witch Doctor), and stuff his face full of whatever food he can find, lest he drop dead. The more well-known NES version is a licensed re-release of the original Wonder Boy with the characters swapped out, which was possible thanks to the fact that Wonder Boy developer Westone was an independent company from Sega and owned the code to the game, despite the fact that Sega owned the Wonder Boy trademark.Original sequels were made by Hudson Soft without Westone's involvement. They include: Adventure Island II (1991). For NES and Game Boy. Super Adventure Island (1992). For SNES. New Adventure Island (1992). For TurboGrafx-16. Adventure Island III (1992). For NES and Game Boy. Takahashi-Meijin no Boukenjima IV (1994). Japan only; the final game officially released for the Famicom. Super Adventure Island II (1994). For SNES. Takahashi-Meijin no Boukenjima (2003). For Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2. Japan only; also known as Hudson Selection Vol.4note reimagined budget titles; the previous volumes are Cubic Lode Runner, Star Soldier, and PC Genjin. Gachahashi-Meijin no Boukenjima (2007). For i-mode. Japan only; a Gachapin crossover. Super Takahashi-Meijin no Boukenjima (2008). For i-mode. Japan only; re-released as Takahashi-Meijin no Boukenjima Quest in 2010. Adventure Island: The Beginning (2009). For WiiWare.Hudson also commissioned a 51-episode anime TV series, "Bug-tte Honey" (lit. "Honey the Bug"), which was produced by TMS Entertainment and aired in 1986-87 on Nippon TV. It features character designs by Minoru Maeda, who also worked on Dr. Slump and Dragon Ball, giving the show a very Akira Toriyama look. The plot centers around Takahashi (Master Higgins) being kidnapped and his girlfriend, Honey (the bee-like fairy who granted Higgins temporary invincibility in several games), trying to rescue him by enlisting the help of three Earth kids. This anime in turn inspired its own Family Computer game in 1987. Neither the anime nor the spinoff game were released outside Japan (although it was shopped around under the title of Honey Bee in Toycomland). There was also a theatrical anime film. | |

Relationship Upgrade | |
| Adventure Island (Video Game) / int_161f1ebf | comment |
Relationship Upgrade: At first, "sweet Tina" is Master Higgins's "favorite lady", and thinks of "how grateful she'll be" when he sets out to save his "honey" (she was apparently first rescued in Adventure Island II, if the language of the manual is to be believed). Evidently there is no problem with this line of thinking with the women of this seemingly tribal culture (or at least Tina), as they quickly got married in New, are later seen living together in the same hut in IV, and then had an ultimately successful (if slightly troubled) honeymoon in Super II. | |

Temporary Platform | |
| Adventure Island (Video Game) / int_1664fe9f | comment |
Temporary Platform: Many kinds of these appear throughout the games: In the first game, some platforms will fall as soon as Higgins touches them, forcing the player to be in a hurry. When said platform is a cloud, however, they will have a darker shadow than clouds that aren't temporary platforms, providing the player with a visual cue about the kind of cloud Higgins is about to land on. In the third game, cave levels will have platforms that will fall under Higgins weight most of the times above lava or a bottomless pit. These won't fall completely if Higgins jumps fast enough; Coast and Cloud levels will have clouds that will fall as soon as Higgins touches them, but like in the first game, the player also gets a visual cue (the clouds that will fall tremble in a different rhythm than the clouds that won't); In later ice cave levels there are ice platforms over bottomless pits that desintegrate if Higgins stands on them for too long, and to make things more difficult, these platforms are often placed before falling stalactites. | |

| Adventure Island (Video Game) / int_17975d1b | comment |
Unstable Equilibrium: The game is harder when you don't have an axe. The skateboard is a mixed blessing but is very helpful in some levels. Also, in the sequels, later levels are much easier if you manage to reach there with a decent number of dinosaurs. | |

Hard Mode Filler | |
| Adventure Island (Video Game) / int_19b89d63 | comment |
Hard Mode Filler: The first game, being based off Wonder Boy, has tons of them. First of all, the fourth level of each world has the same exact layout (with even the same exact boss fight although the head is different and the attack patterns are a bit tricker). Secondly, 3-3, 4-1, and the entire second half of the game are mirrors of past levels. | |

Mission-Pack Sequel: Several assets from II are recycled in III, including Higgins and the dinosaurs' sprites, and nearly all of the music. Apart from the addition of the triceratops, boomerangs, and the ability to duck (the latter two of which were brought over from Super Adventure Island, released earlier the same year), gameplay is also largely unchanged. | |

Alternate Company Equivalent | |
| Adventure Island (Video Game) / int_200c8312 | comment |
Alternate Company Equivalent: Hudson's Adventure Island for NES was literally a counterpart to Sega's Wonder Boy, as Hudson was given the rights to the game's code from original developer Westone, but not the rights to the game's title and characters (since they belonged to Sega). Subverted with the sequels, which were developed independently by Hudson and were not adaptations of any Wonder Boy games (although Super Adventure Island II did adopt an action RPG format similar to the Monster World series spun-off from Wonder Boy). | |

Downplayed with the bosses. They will have a Palette Swap when their health gets low, but without any meaningful increase in difficulty (some will throw one more projectile towards Higgins, but that's about it). This color swap is more of an indicator that you're about to kill the boss than anything else. | |

Level in the Clouds: Several levels take place in the sky and feature solid clouds. The sixth island in Adventure Island II is called Cloud Island, but only two levels in it display the setting proper, being also filled with hovering spiders and Cumulonemesis monsters; it is recommended to play them with a pterodactyl, with whom you can advance while flying instead of having to jump between clouds. | |

Blessed with Suck | |
| Adventure Island (Video Game) / int_3c3f28a5 | comment |
Blessed with Suck: Elasmosaurus is a fast swimmer, but is very clumsy on land. This is sometimes exploited by the game itself, as sometimes you'll find Elasmosaurus eggs in levels where they're not only a very helpful power-up, they will most likely slow you down and put you at risk of losing a life. Elasmosaurus is also the only dinosaur without an attack of it's own, so if you're ridding one you must carry an axe or a boomerang with you. Pteranodon. In some levels, their ability to fly can almost become a Game-Breaker, but they're clumsy on land, are vulnerable to enemies from above, and their projectiles cannot destroy some enemies like fire balls. | |

| Adventure Island (Video Game) / int_464dd7cc | comment |
The Unfought: Despite returning as the main antagonist in Adventure Island II (according to the box and manual), only the Evil Witch Doctor's monsters are ever seen and fought in the game. The Japanese version still mentions King Quiller but doesn't suggest that he has anything to do with the new threat. | |

Dub-Induced Plot Hole | |
| Adventure Island (Video Game) / int_6a85e9e1 | comment |
Dub-Induced Plot Hole: Tina was supposed to be renamed Princess Leilani in the localization of the first game, but her name was not changed in the actual in-game ending text, despite removing the line "Yattane Takahashi!" in western releases. In an attempt to fix this, Princess Leilani was stated to be a separate character, Tina's sister, in the manual of the sequel. However, localization of the third NES game and its Game Boy port then called her Jeannie Jungle (see Sudden Name Change below); she was also called Princess Tina in the Game Boy port of the second NES game, which removed the reference to Princess Leilani. | |

Sudden Name Change | |
| Adventure Island (Video Game) / int_7833feeb | comment |
Sudden Name Change: Zig-Zagged. Disregarding the names Tina went through in western localizations (see Dub-Induced Plot Hole above), the Japanese version of Super Adventure Island wrote Tina's name as JÄ«na and also called her Miss Jungle. The English translation combined the two monikers as Jeanie Jungle. Whether or not this was meant to differentiate the Adventure Island character from the Wonder Boy counterpart of the same name, JÄ«na was soon reverted back to Tina, with her nickname now given as "Miss Island" in the New Adventure Island manual; however, western localization then used Jeannie Jungle for Adventure Island III and its Game Boy port, despite still supposed to be Tina. Super Adventure Island II takes place after Master Higgins' "disastrous relationship with Jungle Jane" according to the manual, which is likely intended to write off Super's one-off Jeanie as a Suspiciously Similar Substitute of Tina (perhaps even Princess Leilani). | |

King Quiller (AKA the Evil Witch Doctor) in the first game literally does this. At the end of each world, he will lose his head and get a new one after being defeated by the player. This is also how the original King worked in Wonder Boy, albeit with some heads swapped around. Subverted in Hudson Selection Vol.4, where his forms are replaced with magical statues with different exotic heads that are holding other fairies captive in the first seven worlds, with the real (rhinoceros-headed) King Quiller awaiting with Tina in the eighth castle. | |

Poison Mushroom: Some item eggs contain ... eggplant (it was actually the reaper in the japanese version, which they changed for obvious reasons), Higgins's least favorite food. If opened, the eggplant will follow him around until it has drained his HP down to two bars. You can't get rid of it, but you can get a points bonus if you can survive the rest of the level in this condition. | |

Taken for Granite: Jeanie (temporarily) when the two were clearly about to make out on the treetops in Super... and Master Higgins himself in the boss battle against Dark Cloak's first form, in an unusual death animation in which Higgins angrily struggles as he is slowly enchanted to stone by the spell from bottom to top (as opposed to Jeanie's instant and presumably painless transformation) while Dark Cloak chuckles at the petrified body as it is cast into the flames below. Fortunately, while Jeanie didn't see it coming, Higgins can actually break free and survive if the player mashes buttons in time. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Adventure Island (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: In the third game, in many Coast and Forest areas it's possible for the player to just fly over the level when riding a Pteranodon. However, the upper part of the maps of those levels is riddled with birds, and sentient clouds that will throw thunders at the player. That, combined with the upper part of those maps being completely devoid of food, makes just flying over a level a much harder task. | |

Hudson Selection Vol.4 and the mid-2000's cell phone rendition, despite starting with pretty similar design layouts, also include a unique set of levels. | |

Turns Red: Downplayed with the bosses. They will have a Palette Swap when their health gets low, but without any meaningful increase in difficulty (some will throw one more projectile towards Higgins, but that's about it). This color swap is more of an indicator that you're about to kill the boss than anything else. Also very downplayed with the seahorses in water levels that will turn into the color of the dinosaur you picked for that level after hit once with an axe (if hit with a boomerang, they are killed with one hit), without becoming more dangerous for it. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Adventure Island (Video Game) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: While the character sprites have been mostly constant throughout the series (except Higgins' red cap in the SNES games, his outfit in New, and Tina herself in New, Super II and, The Beginning), the artwork has evolved over the years. Higgins was depicted with a caveman-like leopard skin in the Adventure Island cover and the Japanese Adventure Island II localization, but this was soon replaced with clothing that resembled his in-game sprites. His character design were also changed entirely in the North American covers of III, Super, and the Game Boy ports to more realistic proportions, dried leaves, and a ponytail. Tina had the most changes even in Japanese artwork, despite her usual sprite depicting a simple two-piece bikini as her casual wear - in the original Wonder Boy game she had a headband and more wild hair (she looked more or less identical in the MSX version), she wore an exotic regal attire in the original game's box art and the first Game Boy port, wedding gown in New, low cut dress in Super II, one-piece animal skin and red sandals in Hudson Selection Vol.4, and finally a long grass skirt to match her husband's tropical cloth in Super Takahashi-Meijin no Boukenjima and The Beginningnote though these designs otherwise look so different that, when the former was re-released as Takahashi-Meijin no Boukenjima Quest, that Tina was replaced by the latter design (not to mention her model kept changing in the artwork, such as the one-piece leopard skin she never wore in-game on the cover of New, and her inconsistent hair color and flower, as well as body frame and height, accessories and jewelry, etc.). | |
