La-Mulana (ラ·ムラーナ) is a Metroidvania game for Windows. It is a freeware game, and was developed by three people who call their development group NIGORO (formerly known as GR3 Project) in Japan as a tribute to the MSX computer system / gaming console (and includes tons of references to such). You play an Indiana Jones-esque archaeologist who must solve the numerous puzzles throughout an immense set of ancient ruins.La-Mulana is an homage to the 8-bit action-adventures that you might remember from your childhood. It wants to instill in you the same sense of fear and awe you felt back then. The sense that everything is at stake and anything could happen.But you've grown up, haven't you? Your twitch skills are stronger, and your knowledge of Video Game Tropes is broader. Can you ever really go back? No need to worry about that. La-Mulana has grown up too. Rather than making the actual platforming be the most difficult part of the game (that the platforming is quite tough too), the chief focus of La-Mulana is on its absolutely mind-bending puzzles. Decoding tablets, figuring out symbolism, and some outside-of-the-box thinking is required, just like the days of old. It says something about how fiendish some of these puzzles can be when most veterans of the game recommend actually whipping out a pen and paper and taking notes as you go along. After all, you're an archaeologist, and studying is what you do.A remake on WiiWare was released in Japan on June 21, 2011, with 16 / 32-bit sprite graphics in place of the MSX-style ones, among numerous other changes — it was developed by the same three guys who did the original. An overseas release localized by Nicalis was planned, but was ultimately cancelled due to development problems and the decline of the WiiWare service. But, as noted in NIGORO's blog, they chose to release the remake on PC, released worldwide on July 13, 2012 at the launch of the English-language PLAYISM website. It subsequently saw releases not only on PLAYISM but also GOG.com, GamersGate, Steam and last, but definitely NOT least, finally released on overseas WiiWare under the publisher EnjoyUp Games. An updated version of the remake, entitled La-Mulana EX, was released in 2015 for the Play Station Vita with a new monster bestiary, online leaderboards, and trophies. Though if you're looking for the original freeware game, you can still find it (and its English patch) here.A sequel was released in July 30, 2018 for Windows and Macintosh via PLAYISM, Steam, and GOG.com starring Lemeza's daughter Lumisa and was successfully funded by a Kickstarter campaign. La-Mulana 2 was released in January of 2018. A version containing both La-Mulana EX and La-Mulana 2 was released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch by NIS America in March of 2020.

comment
Abusive Precursors: On closer analysis, the Mother. If your race, which the Mother created, isn't up to the task of restoring her to the heavens — and you won't be — she'll obliterate you to make room for another attempt at creating a race that can pull it off. Although, if one had been able to manage it... well, as Sakit's faction apparently realized, that means the Mother just abandoned her children. Not that she really saw a point to making life on Earth besides freeing her from the place. This is definitely one place where she's less Sophia, more Demiurge.

Directionally Solid Platforms: Not in this game. Every platform that's solid enough to stand on top of is solid enough to bump your head on from below. This includes moving platforms, too (though the original is kind enough to let them pass through you if it avoids getting crushed into the ground).

comment
The Artifact: The Waterproof and Heatproof Cases in the remake. In the original, the computer's menu was used to change weapons and subweapons as well as to warp with the Grail. In the remake, the Grail was given its own separate menu, and the player can bind keys to switch weapons and subweapons outside of the menu. The only use of the cases now are if the player needs to swap usable items while underwater or in lava, but there's no place in the game where a usable item is ever required to be used underwater or in lava.

 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c
comment
Violation of Common Sense: Going into water causes you to slowly take damage. In order to obtain the item that prevents it, you have to swim through a water area. This isn't as Catch-22 Dilemma as you think, since the feat is entirely possible, just not in favor of "I should avoid this area and come back later or else I will take damage" conditioning. In PR3, completing stage 1 crashes the minigame so in order to get the best score possible, you have to die to the boss so that the game respawns you earlier in the stage.

 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_1e7487cd
comment
The development team actually came up with the idea to make a La-Mulana 2 during the development of the remake, and slipped in some hints about it throughout the game. For some examples, look for the tablets that discuss the ninth children, and the one that says the eighth children (humanity) will be wiped out in 2015. There's also some of Xelpud's dialogue where he not only mentions a sequel game, he also talks about wanting to be rich and turning the ruins into a tourist attraction. The map at the very beginning lists both Eg-Lana and the Tower of Oannes as key points of interest on it as Lemeza heads to the titular La-Mulana ruins.

Not the Intended Use: The Caltrops aren't that great of a weapon against most enemies, especially bosses. On top of that, they have the risk of slightly hurting you if you step on them yourself... however, this triggers your Mercy Invincibility, which makes it easy to dodge the high-damage, hard-to-avoid attacks used by some later bosses at the cost of only a tiny sliver of health by intentionally stepping on your own caltrops at just the right moment.

Lava Is Boiling Kool-Aid
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_24c48358
comment
Lava Is Boiling Kool-Aid: Lava is a palette swap of water. The only practical difference between them is that they require different items to avoid taking damage while in them (otherwise, water actually does less damage in the remake than the original; lava, on the other hand...), and different items to be able to access your PC (and use ROMs or teleport out) while in them. Note that in the remake, even with the proper items you still take damage when falling in lava, just very slowly.

Captain Ersatz: Since the remake isn't freeware, the dev team had to remove some obvious copyrighted elements from it: Lemeza no longer carries an MSX in it nor does he collect MSX cartridges. Instead, he carries the Mobile Super X and collects physical copies of other NIGORO games. "Curse of IRON PIPE" was changed to "Curse of Ocean" and had some sections rewritten to avoid referring to Ashguine 2.

Some Dexterity Required: Precisely controlling falling, using grapple claws (especially in the original), and getting used to water/lava swimming physics will take a while to get used to.

A certain tablet in the Mausoleum of the Giants forbids you from reading it again (in the remake, it then flips around to reveal its opposite side). If you do, it basically says "you shouldn't have done that" and invoked permanently switches the game to "hard mode." The extra enemies aren't a game-breaker by any means, but it also makes the bosses stronger, and the only way to undo it is to restore a previous save.

Dark World: The ruins are broken down into nine sections, each with a corresponding frontside and backside field. The front side usually presents a theme which is subverted by the backside; the first level, the Gate of Guidance, serves as the instructional Noob Cave, but its corresponding side, the Gate of Illusion, breaks all the rules with invisible ladders, portal networks, and a total loss of cohesion.

 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: The pistol. It's by far the most powerful weapon in the game, but you can't carry more than 12 bullets (24 in the remake), they're prohibitively expensive, you don't get it until very late in the game, and the final boss isn't even vulnerable to it. It's only useful for finding certain ROMs and boss fights. It's a little more practical in the remake, as you can buy it from a shop on the Surface, and the bullets are now effective on most bosses. In the remakes the owner of the surface shop who sells the Bullets even says: "I smuggle, you pay out the nose."

Sound Test: In the original, combining certain ROMs ("Shin Synthesizer" and "Snatcher") grants you access to the game's soundtrack; it's also present in the remake as the "Enga Musica" software. In either case, there's a limited and full version of the respective soundtrack, the former having only about 1/3 the songs.

Gratuitous English: The Japanese version of the game opens with "Finally I got to the La-Mulana [sic]. The adventure starts here!" Also, the introduction text of the original was edited a bit for readability in the patch. The soundtrack titles are filled with it. Some examples are "Fanfale," "Interstice of the Dimention," and "Mother Will Be Awaken". Also most titles aren't capitalized correctly.

Time Stands Still: The Lamp of Time item allows you to freeze time for about ten seconds, which is used to solve a few puzzles (and you can rack up massive damage to enemies in the meantime). In the original, it recharges after a minute or so, while in the remake, you have to go to specific places to recharge it. And be warned - there's one miniboss in the remake that uses time-stopping power against you, and there's little you can do to avoid it.

Game-Breaking Bug
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_33ca811a
comment
Game-Breaking Bug: The PC remake has a possibility of crashing at certain points, even in the latest version. The frequency seems to vary from system to system. Occasionally the player can glitch through the floor or a wall and usually end up on the Surface. Normally this is just an annoyance, but if this happens during the Escape Sequence, there's no way to get back into the ruins in order to escape normally and have to reset and fight the final boss again, unless you know exactly how this glitch is performed and use it in a spot where you can get to one of the Surface exits and get to the escape point from there. Notably, speedruns that permit glitching make this a Good Bad Bug and use it to go near anywhere. An alternative if it happens during the escape sequence involves going to the Tower of the Goddess, then traveling to the Gate of Illusion, crossing the door to the Gate of Guidance and from there going to the Temple of the Sun where you can reach Mulburk. If this happens the timer will be extremely tight, but it's doable.

Ascended Meme: Even the developers refer to the Cait Sidhe in the Temple of the Sun as Cat Ball. One of the entries in Jasmine "Momogirl" Cote's La-Momolana Livejournal has a joke about Lemeza actually wearing the equipment items. In the remake, whenever you get a new equipment item, it will indeed show Lemeza wearing it in the Items menu. Naramura's Twitter showed a lot of the concept art of La-Mulana and one of those concept arts has traditional versions of Momogirl's entries. Those entries are actually in the full guide book of the remake; not only that but they were redrawn by Naramura himself. Some fans felt that "Moon-Light Dance" sounded a lot like "Thriller". In the remake's Temple of Moonlight, there's a mural featuring Michael Jackson on it.

Magikarp Power: In the remake, as soon as you recite all eight the mantras, the Key Sword glows brightly red and its attack power gains a major boost.

Ability Required to Proceed
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_3f2503af
comment
Ability Required to Proceed: In typical metroidvania fashion, the game includes many weapons and movement power-ups that must be used in certain locations to proceed. In a particularly evil subversion, the Scalesphere can only be obtained after passing through a pool of water that drains your health due to you not having the item. This is actually more likely to trip up experienced metroidvania players, who will assume the item needs to be found elsewhere before proceeding (unless they're the type to attempt Sequence Breaking on the first run).There is a tablet that tells the player not to fear the pool that must be swam through, so the game does at least tell the player what to do.

comment
Bleak Level: The Confusion Gate. Also, the Chamber of Extinction. The Graveyard of the Giants as well, especially in terms of serving as a foil to the Mausoleum of the Giants; the Mausoleum presents the extinction of the giants through a sad but dignified lens, focusing on their history and seeming almost like a museum. The Graveyard of the Giants, meanwhile, has almost no text and is instead filled with the horrifying frozen corpses of giants with an emphasis on what looks to have been agonizing deaths.

Advancing Boss of Doom
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_409d3c07
comment
Advancing Boss of Doom: The blue Argus mini-boss on the Surface doesn't attack beyond simply advancing on you, eventually forcing you offscreen. Viy also pulls off a vertical version, as he constantly advances from below (forcing you to climb). Ellmac almost does, though his battle takes place with you on a mine cart and him chasing you down the track. Explorers of the remake's Hell Temple may also note that Mushussu's room in said temple has a pit in the floor upon which Mushussu slowly creeps towards, ultimately leaving you nowhere to stand.

Bittersweet Ending
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: In perspective, the end of La-Mulana is REALLY sad. The Mother spent millennia wanting to go back to the heavens, but all that can be given to her is the peace of death. But in doing that, it actually seals the fate of Earth, because without Mother, no more sentient races would rise on Earth. Granted, the treasure of La-Mulana could make a normal human being capable of doing what she could. And you go through all the work of getting the treasure only for your father to steal it from you in the end. In other words, the power to create life is now in the hands of a thieving jerk!

Jump Physics: Somewhere between Mega Man and Castlevania. If you do a standing jump then you can steer yourself left and right (Mega Man style) as you fall, but not so much if you do a running jump. And if you simply walk off the edge of a platform, you fall straight down (Castlevania style). Also note that in the original version, you couldn't execute a Double Jump after the apex of your jump.

Game Mod: The creators of La-Mulana released an editor tool, including that tool has a Boss Rush and a Time Attack mode of Hell Temple. However actual mods are very rare, if not impossible to find due to either La-Mulana not being very popular when the tool was released or no one has even bother to translate the tool to proper English. This will also be possible in the PC remake, but not to the same extent. Increasing in popularity is a randomizer for the PC remake version.

Dual Boss: A few. Gozu and Mezu (aka Ox Head and Horse Face), which fight you from opposite sides. Amphisbaena is one creature, but the fight against him runs on the same principle, especially in the remake where the body connecting its heads resides in the background. The original's Hell Temple is replete with rooms containing multiple minibosses at once - especially the "Land of Hell" rooms which you land in almost every time you fall off a screen.

You Have Researched Breathing: Want to save the game in the original? You need to buy the ROM to do that for 10 coins. Want multiple save files? You'll need to find a better ROM later in the game. (In the remake you can save using the grail points.) Also in the original, every time you pick up a new sub-weapon (shuriken, flares, etc, with the pistol as the only exception), the ammunition to actually use them is not included. You have to acquire (or buy) it separately. (Again, the remake averts this by giving you some ammo for the sub-weapons when you obtain them.)

Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Some enemies are shielded, which blocks frontal attacks. Lemeza acquires a variety of shields throughout the game himself, ranging from a simple Buckler (which can block small projectiles, but may break) to a "genuine" (or actually genuine) Silver Shield which can block many attacks but may (temporarily) break from repeated blows, to the golden Aegis/Angel Shield which can block all but some of the most powerful boss attacks. Midboss Chi You also makes effective use of his silver shield in the remake, blocking most of the player's attacks.

 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_54ec2f0c
comment
Not Completely Useless: Throwing knives (Rolling Shuriken in the remake) — try them on the original's Viy to deal massive damage. They're also good for detecting fake platforms (but not trapdoors) and edges of solid platforms, especially in dark rooms. The remake's Caltrops seem pretty useless since by the time you acquire them you probably have the Knife and Axe which can hit enemies at ground level, but they are very effective for killing the A Bao A Qus (invisible foes which follow you from behind) in the Tower of the Goddess, as well as a general counter for enemies that dive at you from above (i.e. you can focus on dodging while the enemy hits the caltrops you left behind). Plus, you can also exploit them for free Mercy Invincibility. In the original, aside from situations where you're forced to use it, the Key Sword's narrow hitbox can be extremely useful in some of the Endless Corridor pot-smashing puzzles, since any other weapon risks accidentally smashing the wrong pots and forcing you to start over.

Moon Logic Puzzle
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_558ae6f6
comment
Moon Logic Puzzle: All puzzles give you just barely enough hints to solve them, but said hints can be... quite obtuse, and are usually located halfway across the ruins from the puzzle they actually apply to. Good luck figuring out which hints belong to which puzzles.... The route to Hell Temple is a convoluted sequence with many steps, each of which you only get a vague hint for (and it's easy to mess up). Get one step wrong and you have to repeat the whole sequence over (except for one, which due to a glitch can make it permanently inaccessible). Of course, preventing the player from going into Hell Temple can be seen as an act of mercy... The stupid invisible ladder in the Confusion Gate has made several players completely stuck. The only hint you get is a nearby tablet telling a tale about a fool who thought he was wise and a wise man who thought he was a fool (the hint being that you should Take a Third Option). How the hell was anyone supposed to figure out how to escape the Collapsing Lair after beating the final boss in the remake? (especially with a strict time limit?) You probably didn't figure out what that tablet in the Dimensional Corridor meant when it warned "there is only one route to salvation: that which has received the holy blessing," and probably never heard Mulbruk specifically ask you "when the ruins fall apart, will you come save me?" either. Trying to navigate the Chamber of Birth, mostly due to the fact that passages are hidden in walls, and teleports are abound like the Gate of Illusion Good luck defeating Mother's fourth form in the original without a guide — there are three tablets throughout the ruins that sound like harmless Flavor Text, but they're actually very cryptic hints about where you should be attacking. The remake's scanning puzzle in the Temple of the Moonlight. The few hints about where to scan are located in different areas of the ruins, and the references are easy to miss. "Face of the highest rank", or "dancing man"?

Death Trap: And tons of them. One of the most obvious is one in the Temple of Moonlight that closes the area off with walls and drops a Descending Ceiling of Spikes of Doom on you for a One-Hit Kill. In the remake, there isn't even a treasure chest nearby to tempt you with.

Bragging Rights Reward
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_55e5b37c
comment
Bragging Rights Reward: Called a treasure not meant to be seen, according to an in-game character, and invoked with good reason. Annoyingly enough, this is obtained after getting through the most ridiculously hard area of the game (Hell Temple), which is nearly impossible to find in the first place without reading the dev team's minds, requires having all the gear to finish the game already, and rewards you with being shown a muscular guy in a woman's swimsuit, being called an idiot, and not even having a mark on your save or inventory to show for the experience. It however is likely to leave the mark of insanity on the player. Clearly, the dev team are completely sadistic. The remake does allow you to have Mulbruk wear it in the end credits if you speak to her after completing Hell Temple, but before defeating The Mother

Not His Sled
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_5a36f8bc
comment
Not His Sled: That unsolvable puzzle in the Twin Labyrinths that you bypass with a double jump up to the shop? In the remake, the puzzle is not only fixed, but trying to jump to the shop before completing the puzzle results in a Bolt of Divine Retribution. The accompanying tablet alludes to this trope: In the original, getting the Chain Whip involved raising a stone column, which dropped you at on the top level of platforms in the room. In the remake, the stone column will crush you against the ceiling if you don't jump off in time. The one-chance balance puzzle for the Mace has been tweaked. Among other things, the scale no longer starts off imbalanced. This doesn't affect anything if you haven't played the original and got the mace in it, but you'll need to relearn the puzzle if you did. Baphomet in the freeware version could be beaten very easily by standing on the platform above her and chucking spears at her head. In the remake, the very first thing Baphomet does upon summoning is destroy the platform above her. At the end of the game, Lemeza escapes from the ruins in a cutscene. In the remake, you must now make the escape yourself. And instead of escaping through the front door like Lemeza does in the original, you have to talk to Mulbruk in the Temple of the Sun. Hope you don't mind fighting the Mother all over again if you hit the 5-minute mark.

comment
The creators of La-Mulana released an editor tool, including that tool has a Boss Rush and a Time Attack mode of Hell Temple. However actual mods are very rare, if not impossible to find due to either La-Mulana not being very popular when the tool was released or no one has even bother to translate the tool to proper English. This will also be possible in the PC remake, but not to the same extent.

Level-Up Fill-Up: Filled your experience bar? You don't actually get stronger, but you do get your HP refilled. The remake makes this mechanic easier early on in the game by using your maximum HP to determine the amount of EXP needed to replenish your HP. Additionally, collecting a Sacred Orb (which is the closest thing to an actual level-up this game has) bumps your HP up to maximum.

comment
Platform Battle: In the original version, the boat you stand on while fighting Bahamut doesn't track your movements, so you have to make a conscious effort to keep on it while fighting. And in either version, there's a winged miniboss high up in the Confusion Gate/Gate of Illusion that if you fall off the screen, it's a bit of a trip through the Tower of the Goddess just to get back. (On the other hand, if you hit a switch in the room this creates a ladder in the room below so you can simply climb back up — but the boss is back at full HP.)

Save-Game Limits: In the original, the "Game Master" ROM gives you only one save file (number 0, if you will), while the "Game Master 2" ROM gives you four save files (1 thru 4). The PC version of the remake gives you fifteen save slots to use whereas the WiiWare version has only three, two less than the original.

 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_6602cad
comment
Permanently Missable Content: Some of the items in the game can be if you mess up on certain puzzles. Both Whip upgrades can be lost forever if you fail to solve their respective puzzles. The first one at least warns you in advance "err just once, and it will never reach thy hands". The Angel Shield (Aegis Shield in the remake) in the Dimensional Corridor. Luckily, because it's required for a plot-relevant puzzle, you can pick up the shield by another means. The Life Jewel in the Dimensional Corridor is nigh-impossible to reach if you defeat the Dragon miniboss first (the boss provides a platform for reaching it.) It can technically still be acquired afterwards, but requires exploiting the knockback from the randomly-flying bats. Almost any and everything in the Shrine of the Mother (in particular its Life Jewel) can be lost forever if it's not acquired before it transforms into the True Shrine of the Mother. As well as Hell Temple if you don't complete its whole unlocking process in one go. This, however, is arguably an act of mercy.... In the remake, a tablet in the Dimensional Corridor poses you an offer if you can defeat Tiamat: A hidden fairy somewhere will reset one failed puzzle to give you a second shot at doing it right... but she'll only do this once. Once you read the hard mode tablet twice, activating it, you can never go back to normal difficulty unless you reload an earlier save, start over, or play the version on the Vita; where the Fairy Queen will offer to lift that particular curse once.

Elder Xelpud is considered to be Duplex's avatar before NIGORO was GR3 Project. Ditto with Samieru; his was Lemeza.

Teleport Spam: Several minibosses have teleporting abilities. Baphomet also gains teleporting ability in the remake. Hell Temple takes the greatest pleasure in making you do this. By bouncing you around on teleporters, until you are back at the very beginning, if you make the slightest misstep. The player is also forced to do this (though not quite as extensively) to get through the mazes in Confusion Gate and the Chamber of Birth.

Nipple and Dimed: The developers noted that they had to decide what to do about bare-breasted statues in the Tower of the Goddess area. In the PC edition of the remake, said statues are now slightly more covered. However, the developers have provided a graphics file for download which you can use to easily undo this. The censored statues were made specifically for the US WiiWare so the game would get an "E" rating and it was this version of the game initially released on PC. Later versions of the game have the statues uncensored by default.

And Your Reward Is Clothes: The "treasure that must not be seen" is not exactly a satisfying reward for finishing Hell Temple. (Apparently the joke's on you.) In the remake, Lemeza's appearance (both on the inventory screen and in his in-game sprite) is updated to reflect it — this even includes changing his Idle Animation from eating curry to dancing.

Escape Sequence
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_6af6887
comment
Occasionally the player can glitch through the floor or a wall and usually end up on the Surface. Normally this is just an annoyance, but if this happens during the Escape Sequence, there's no way to get back into the ruins in order to escape normally and have to reset and fight the final boss again, unless you know exactly how this glitch is performed and use it in a spot where you can get to one of the Surface exits and get to the escape point from there. Notably, speedruns that permit glitching make this a Good Bad Bug and use it to go near anywhere. An alternative if it happens during the escape sequence involves going to the Tower of the Goddess, then traveling to the Gate of Illusion, crossing the door to the Gate of Guidance and from there going to the Temple of the Sun where you can reach Mulburk. If this happens the timer will be extremely tight, but it's doable.

Cosmetic Award: Subverted in a sadistic manner at the end of the Hell Temple in the original version. You get a scene of Lemeza wearing the award, the Skimpy Swimsuit, and not only does Dracuets mock you for pursuing a treasure that he promised you'd regret, but after the scene ends, there is no indicator in the inventory that you even obtained the swimsuit! This is changed in the remake, in which Lemeza gets to wear the swimsuit on his menu avatar and his gameplay sprite for the rest of the game.

Guide Dang It!: You might have more luck searching for the actual Ark of the Covenant than attempting to finish this game without an FAQ. Combining certain MSX ROMs can result in useful effects such as boosted attack power or extended Mercy Invincibility... but with a pool of over 50 ROMs, good luck trying to figure out what to combine with what. This isn't as much of an issue in the remake with its .exe files, as there aren't nearly as many to mix and match, and half of them have useful functions on their own.

Collision Damage: The actual damage isn't as much of an issue as the knockback. However, damage from touching bosses is another story. For example, in the remake, touching Viy (or Palenque) in the remake results in your HP being drained fast, and Mercy Invincibility will not protect you.

Video Game Remake: The WiiWare and PC remake. Aside from updating the graphics from 8-bit to 16-bit styles, several puzzles have been tweaked or changed, and the Grail tablets double as Save Points.

comment
Money Grinding: In the original version, pots containing coins or ammo would reset when you reloaded your save file, allowing you to collect them all over again. In either version, summoning a green ("Luck") fairy pretty much guarantees that any pot you smash will yield coins. And in the remake, a smashable wall in the Chamber of Extinction respawns the moment you leave the screen... meaning that with a green fairy in tow, you can smash that wall again and again and again, and collect hundreds of coins in the process.

Unlocking the full Twin Labyrinths requires you to place weights on several pedestals in a gas-filled area within 30 seconds. Failure results in being kicked back to the Temple of the Sun in the original version and an outright Game Over in the remake.

Attack Animal: The Andras legionaries in the Tower of the Goddess are seen riding vaguely canine animals as mounts; this makes them mostly harmless in the original version (at least until you take out the wolf); in the remake, they'll hop off and order the hound to attack you.

Door to Before: Many puzzles, once solved, open up passages to facilitate quicker travel back-and-forth (even Hell Temple). In some areas (like the Confusion Gate and Chamber of Birth), the Grail tablet is almost a prize in and of itself, since once you've reached it you can warp directly to it at any time, skipping whatever obstacles were required to get there.

All Myths Are True: Guardians, sub-bosses and common enemies come from a huge array of various sources, including Sumerian and Babylonian myths, Chinese mythology, ancient Egypt, European medieval folklore, Russian literature, Hebrew and Christian lore, and even modern paranormal myths like flying rods and Michael Jackson. Justified because La-Mulana is stated to be the source for all cultures on Earth.

Healing Boss: In the room directly above where you fight the sub-boss Chi You, an endless procession of maidens throw themselves into a spike-filled pit. Normally, their blood heals Chi You when it drips down, making the fight against him completely unwinnable. The only way to beat him is to seal off the pit and stop the sacrifices prior to the fight, preventing him from healing.

 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_7d0b5cb5
comment
Platform Hell: The aptly-named Hell Temple. It's one of the few Platform Hell examples where it's hard to actually die from it (mainly due to a lack of Bottomless Pits, but also because the enemies yield so much EXP that your HP gets refilled almost constantly). Considering what it is, though, dying may actually come as a blessing.

The remake's Caltrops seem pretty useless since by the time you acquire them you probably have the Knife and Axe which can hit enemies at ground level, but they are very effective for killing the A Bao A Qus (invisible foes which follow you from behind) in the Tower of the Goddess, as well as a general counter for enemies that dive at you from above (i.e. you can focus on dodging while the enemy hits the caltrops you left behind). Plus, you can also exploit them for free Mercy Invincibility.

Life Drain: Anubis enemies in the Temple of Moonlight. In the original they sap your HP just by being in the same room as them, while in the remake (where there are more of them to go around, especially in Hard mode) they have to actually see you to drain your HP... but when they do, your HP drops fast. Touching Viy or Palenque in the remake has the same effect.

Spell My Name With An S: A few names were romanized differently in the remake: the biggest one is Shorn's name becoming Shawn (further referencing his resemblance to Sean Connery). The giants also have slightly different names, except for Sakit. Oddly enough, in the Gate of Time, they're given their old names from the Aeon Genesis translation. Udjat is also now romanized as Wedjet, and Shu now goes by his Chinese name, Chi You.

Wham Episode: The Eden area in the remake. More so if you haven't played the original; at first it seems like a nice relief from all the difficult puzzles and combat, then you solve the puzzle in Eden that promises "more happiness", and... "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Welcome to the Gate of Illusion! In terms of gameplay, Inferno Cavern is a massive curveball. Up to this point, players could tackle the fields in order, solving puzzles and defeating the Guardians, with the biggest detour being a very quick dip into Twin Labyrinths for the Helmet. Then you enter Inferno Cavern and solve every puzzle, only to realize the Ankh and Ankh Jewel are completely absent. It's at this point the game stops pulling punches and goes all in with puzzles that span multiple fields and forcing players to discover backside fields, which themselves gradually become more and more important to the game's lore to boot.

Sakit in either version. As the boss of the second area, he is many times harder than Amphisbaena was, as he is immune to subweapons (projectiles) and is only vulnerable in the head, which requires a minor Colossus Climb (in a relatively short window of opportunity) up one of his arms to reach.

Smashing Hallway Traps of Doom
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_92cf3f7b
comment
Smashing Hallway Traps of Doom: The remake adds several crushers to the Tower of Ruin — one of which is over a platform where, if you just try to run and jump across it normally, has just the right timing to come down on you right as you're crossing. The infamous block puzzles deep in the Endless Corridor have also been replaced by a hallway filled with spikes and large spinning blades.

Inescapable Ambush: In the remake, almost every time you enter a miniboss room the exits slam shut behind you (though you can still teleport out). Anubis is a notable exception, since you can't acquire the item needed to fight him until you've encountered him first.

Can't Catch Up
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_94d2506d
comment
Can't Catch Up: The poor knife is the second weapon in the game. It deals one more damage than the meager base whip (which deals 2), so its only draw is its high attack speed and that you can use it while running without losing your momentum. It's immediately superseded the moment you get the gauntlets, the chain whip, or the katana. Even when you buff it with a certain ROM/Software combination, it still loses out to the katana. Even the key sword in the remake gets a huge buff once you complete an endgame puzzle, leaving this thing in the dust.

comment
Take a Third Option: In the Confusion Gate/Gate of Illusion, at an intersection of one-way doors, a stone tablet tells the story of a fool who went right and a wise man who went left. The proper route? An invisible ladder in the original which takes you to the ledge above it, and in the remake, something to scan which opens a hole in the floor to fall through (also taking you to the ledge above it).

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Players who are used to jumping by pressing up may have some difficulty in the remake due to the jump button being assigned to a separate button. (An option to enable up for jumping is provided). Similarly, people used to pressing the original's jump button to cling to walls with the Grapple Claw may also have some troubles in the remake (which requires pressing Up), though Xelpud does email you a tutorial for how to use it.

Dead Character Walking: Due to a glitch in the original, if Lemeza doesn't properly die after taking damage (e.g. getting killed by a paralyzing attack), he can move around without harm but can't attack or use the menus. It's also known as the Zombie Lemeza Glitch.

Press X to Die: In the 8-bit version, both permutations of equipping F1 Spirit 3D and Contra have only harmful effects on Lemeza. Equipping the former in slot 1 and the latter in slot 2 turns him into a One-Hit-Point Wonder, while doing the reverse rapidly empties out his health.

Foreshadowing
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: The development team actually came up with the idea to make a La-Mulana 2 during the development of the remake, and slipped in some hints about it throughout the game. For some examples, look for the tablets that discuss the ninth children, and the one that says the eighth children (humanity) will be wiped out in 2015. There's also some of Xelpud's dialogue where he not only mentions a sequel game, he also talks about wanting to be rich and turning the ruins into a tourist attraction. The map at the very beginning lists both Eg-Lana and the Tower of Oannes as key points of interest on it as Lemeza heads to the titular La-Mulana ruins. You'll likely find many tablets with hints to the solutions to puzzles long before you actually reach them, which is typically long after you've forgotten what the tablet says.

Save Point: The original version has only one — Elder Xelpud's tent, and you need to equip a "Game Master" ROM on your laptop first. The Enhanced Remake moves this to all Holy Grail tablets, allowing you to save anywhere you find one. And just in case you don't, they make a "quick save" whenever you touch them, enabling you to pick up from there if/when you get killed (at least as long as you're still playing).

Saved for the Sequel: In the remake, a tablet found within the Mausoleum of the Giants describes each of the Children of the Mother. While Children 1-8 are all given some amount of additional backstory elsewhere, this tablet alone makes mention of the "9th Child" and "Child 0." Come La-Mulana 2, this becomes critical to the plot.

Bowdlerization
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_a49914aa
comment
Bowdlerization: Early promo art for the WiiWare version showed Lemeza smoking a cigarette. This was quickly changed on the English side of the website. The translation of the original game removed the word "Holy" when it would have made for a more accurate translation (e.g. "Grail" instead of "Holy Grail"). Baphomet, Tiamat, and the goddess statues now have their breasts covered in the remake (though Tiamat does it with her arms and Godiva Hair rather than clothing). Averted with the goddess statues from version 1.3.x-forward, for whatever reason. The remake changes the Conception Seal to the Origin Seal, though this could just be a poor choice in translation.

Rewarding Vandalism: Sure, you can smash pots for gold and/or ammunition, but if you attack something you shouldn't you may get instantly zapped by lightning, or certain statues in the room will get angered enough and start shooting at you (randomly in the original).

comment
Shielded Core Boss: The demon Chi You in the remake, like most bosses, is vulnerable only in the head but it is almost impossible to get a hit in without him simply blocking it with his shield. The solution? Attacking his shield repeatedly will cause him to become stunned for just long enough to leap up and get in a good clean strike. Ordinary skeletons offer a downplayed example, as the first hit causes them to collapse instead of taking damage.

comment
Already Undone for You: Traps and puzzles in the large temple complex are all initially unsolved, even though most of them are permanently solved once completed and there are numerous Redundant Researcher skeletons in places that could only be reached by solving them. Made especially noticeable because it's eventually obvious that Shorn has already traversed the ruins all the way to the center, yet somehow left every puzzle unsolved along the way. Maybe he just reset them because he's a jerk.

No-Sell: The Crucifix will make completely immune to Souls in the original, rather than damage you; the remake cause them to self-destruct on contact with you without taking damage. In the remake, the Scriptures completely nullify the damage and knockback from bats.

 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_ac9b4618
comment
One Bullet at a Time: Generally, you can only fire up to three projectiles at once, though the exact limit varies depending on the projectile (you can only throw one chakram at a time, for example) and the "Ring" item in the original version increased the limit by one. Also note that in the original, a projectile that was blocked will still count towards this limit as it flies off the screen (in the remake, it will promptly disappear).

Anubis enemies in the Temple of Moonlight. In the original they sap your HP just by being in the same room as them, while in the remake (where there are more of them to go around, especially in Hard mode) they have to actually see you to drain your HP... but when they do, your HP drops fast.

Story Breadcrumbs: You arrive at the ruins with basically no information beyond a "most who went in never came back out" by Elder Xelpud. Most of the backstory you pick up via clues scattered across tablets; though you do get a lot of backstory near the end by talking to the Four Philosophers, and from Elder Xelpud after acquiring Shorn's diary.

Alien Geometries
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_b3bdf232
comment
Alien Geometries: The various areas of La-Mulana are connected in a non-Euclidean fashion, almost certainly deliberately. If you try to make a map that shows where all the areas are in relation to each other, taking every connection into account, you'll quickly discover that it can't be done. In particular, it's not at all clear what the lowest point inside the ruins is, as you can go through the same set of locations in the lower areas (Inferno Cavern, Chamber of Extinction) over and over again while taking a path that should logically be going farther and farther downward. That said, there's also the infinitely deep pit in the Inferno Cavern that appears during the quest for opening up Hell Temple. Perhaps most egregious is the Shrine of the Mother, in which the lowest area of the Endless Corridor takes you to the top of the area, and an entrance three floors up takes you to a lower, isolated area. Everything else can be explained with the depiction of three-dimensional space in two dimensions, but this... Even the same areas aren't connected logically. Hell Temple is the another example where you can fall from multiple rooms into the same "Land of Hell." There's also the first time the player enters the Twin Labyrinth from the Mausoleum of the Giants, where going down one ladder sends the player to a room on what is actually the opposite side of the map! Areas vary in terms of how alien their geometries are (with, generally, the "deeper" areas getting more bizarre, while the early ones make a bit more sense.) The Twin Labyrinths in particular is utterly confusing (naturally, since it basically connects two dimensions.) The Endless Corridor is pretty bizarre, too, but both it and the bizarre way it relates to the Shrine of the Mother make a bit more sense when you realize that Tiamat used her power to swap it with the Dimensional Corridor so she could hide in another dimension.

Take That!
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: The first page of the manual is a jab at newer generations of video games, as well as gamers of the current generation: If you're an NES fanatic, a couple of Xelpud's quotes might piss you off a bit. invoked A minor one: F1 Spirit (a real MSX game) is available in a store for 130 coins. F1 Spirit 3D (also an MSX game) is available in the same shop, costs 5 Coins. When combined with the MSX version of Contra, it either drains your health, or makes you a One-Hit-Point Wonder. This stems from the MSX2 version of Contra being regarded widely as a Porting Disaster and the developers just straight up disliking F1 Spirit 3D. In the remake one of Xelpud's ramblings has him complaining that a new game he just downloaded is too easy and contains too many hints. This could be Self-Deprecation, since the remake has Xelpud give many more hints to early puzzles than you got in the original game. Also in the remake, show Xelpud the Crystal Skull and he'll comment that a lousy movie was made about it. The remake also has a bit of Self-Deprecation with one block puzzle in the Twin Labyrinths that was unsolvable in the original (as one of the blocks could not be placed on its correct plate without deeming the other unmovable). The nearby tablet states "those that created this contraption are fools; they made a puzzle that could not be solved." Turns out the original simply lacked a trapdoor, which was the only thing added to fix that puzzle.

Dysfunctional Family: The Kosugis. Shorn abandoned Lemeza at a young age and Lumisa's relationship to them isn't entirely clear: she's either Lemeza's wife's daughter (which could mean she's from a previous marriage, or else that Lemeza fathered her when he was 15) or she might be Shorn's illegitimate daughter and Lemeza's half-sister. It remains to be seen how she gets along with them, but Lemeza and Shorn are constantly at odds with one another.

Going into water causes you to slowly take damage. In order to obtain the item that prevents it, you have to swim through a water area. This isn't as Catch-22 Dilemma as you think, since the feat is entirely possible, just not in favor of "I should avoid this area and come back later or else I will take damage" conditioning.

Timed Mission: Unlocking the full Twin Labyrinths requires you to place weights on several pedestals in a gas-filled area within 30 seconds.

A puzzle in the Endless Corridor requires making a full circuit around one of the floors within a time limit. In the remake, after defeating the Final Boss, you have 5 minutes to escape.

Jump Scare: At the end of the original version's Hell Temple: You collect your reward: the Skimpy Swimsuit. After making the dialogue box go away, a portrait of Lemeza in said swimsuit and close-ups of his abs and his...personal area...fill your entire screen with no warning. The sudden Bolt of Divine Retribution that strikes if you hit a "sacred" object. Lessened in the remake in that rooms where you can get zapped have an "Eye of Divine Retribution" to warn you. In the remake, there's the scream and sudden scene change when Eden's illusion dissipates.

comment
Joke Weapon: The Keyblade is the worst primary weapon in the game (it's as weak as the weakest secondary weapon, in fact), weak, slow and with a smaller hitbox than any other weapon. Naturally, there are many puzzles that require you to use it and even a few bosses that can only be harmed by it. Additionally, as an almost never useful detail, it does extend a few pixels farther forward than any other primary weapon except the mace.

 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_c2dbd1f8
comment
Interchangeable Antimatter Keys: The weights: found everywhere (even in shops), used everywhere for various purposes, and each one can only be used once. The remake justifies their one-time use by having them sink into the ground after being placed, presumably becoming impossible to retrieve. This is also true with the Ankh Jewels that summon the bosses — each jewel only works once, and it doesn't matter which one you use for which boss. The game's actual keys (Seals), on the other hand, can open any and all locks of their type.

Final-Exam Boss: All of the primary (melee) weapons must be used to defeat the original's final boss. If you're missing one, you can't beat her until you find it. In the remake your choice of weapon doesn't matter as much, but the boss's final form utilizes the signature attacks of all eight Guardians as the battle goes on.

Fan Disservice: SKIMPY ♥ SUIT. If you know what to expect, though, and are into guys, Lemeza's pretty good-looking. It leans more fanservicey in the remake, where instead of a single jump scare of a scene that doesn't even leave a mark on your save file, Lemeza's Virtual Paper Doll, sprite, and idle animation changes, so it's more like a reward. The remake also lets you see Mulbruk wearing the same bathing suit if you beat the game after conquering Hell Temple, so everybody's happy!◊ It goes back into Fan Disservice if you consider that her father made the swimsuit for her.

How the hell was anyone supposed to figure out how to escape the Collapsing Lair after beating the final boss in the remake? (especially with a strict time limit?) You probably didn't figure out what that tablet in the Dimensional Corridor meant when it warned "there is only one route to salvation: that which has received the holy blessing," and probably never heard Mulbruk specifically ask you "when the ruins fall apart, will you come save me?" either.

Shout-Out
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Several. One of the ROM combos in the original lets you play a Gradius clone, another combo with Contra turns you into a One-Hit-Point Wonder, and one of the ROMs required for the whip power-up combo is Castlevania. The Contra "anti-shout-out" is part of a combo with F1 Spirit 3D, because the creators disliked that latter game (which also shows in the fact that you can buy it for five coins). Those who grew up with the MSX will get quite a few laughs from Elder Xelpud's many quotes. The Final reward for beating the Hell Temple is a shout out to Dragon Quest II for the MSX. Lemeza's last name Kosugi and his love for curry was inspired by a TV commercial about Kane Kosugi's "curry is my special power-up". The player must purchase, gather, and use consumable Weights, placing them on daises, like the opening sequence to Raiders of the Lost Ark. In the film, the weight fails, triggering a trap. In La-Mulana, the weights intentionally sink the daises. The second music preview for the remake makes shoutouts to Castlevania, Mega Man and especially Moonwalker. Speaking of Moonwalker, in the WiiWare version of the Moonlight Temple there are actual mural silhouettes of Michael Jackson engraved on some of the walls, one of which changes pose every time you enter the room. In the remake, the MSX references have been replaced by flash games that NIGORO has made in the past. The song "Rest, No Rest" in the remake comes from the very first game that Nigoro made, GR3. Lemeza's whip goes from leather to a chain to a chain with a spiked ball ("mace") just like the classic Castlevania games, among other references like the bone-throwing skeletons. You need to stop time to defeat the Skyfish. The developers in the remake for the Lamp of Time couldn't resist a Dio Brando/ZA WARUDO reference, both with inverting the colors when Lemeza and the sub-boss stop time and the sub-boss' feathers stopping around Lemeza before hitting him after the time freeze ends. One common enemy is a blue porcupine that curls into a ball and goes around with enormous speed. There's a hieroglyphic mural of a certain "dancing man" located somewhere in the Temple of Moonlight. Really. It's part of a puzzle, even. In the remake, Lemeza jumps in place after beating a boss, just like the heroes of The Maze of Galious. If you use the text recorder on the shopkeepers and priests in the various rooms, you'll notice that their names happen to include a lot of MSX game shout-outs. Gailious, Zarnac, Hidlydia, Hotblooded Nemesistwo, Xanado... and that's just for starters. Ocarinas aren't particularly a Legend of Zelda thing, of course, but the fact that the ocarina is specifically a blue ocarina... The remake has a skeleton in the lava of Inferno Cavern with a note stating that "I'll be back"... then noting that he is just kidding: "I'm Terminated!"

The remake also has a bit of Self-Deprecation with one block puzzle in the Twin Labyrinths that was unsolvable in the original (as one of the blocks could not be placed on its correct plate without deeming the other unmovable). The nearby tablet states "those that created this contraption are fools; they made a puzzle that could not be solved." Turns out the original simply lacked a trapdoor, which was the only thing added to fix that puzzle.

Taking You with Me: The remake's Palenque pulls this right at the end of his boss fight when he's killed, jumping out of his spaceship and exploding — if he's not knocked back into his ship with a well-timed hit, it's a instant death. Baphomet tries this as well, spouting flame columns from the ground when it dies. However, these are not instantly fatal and can be easily avoided by hugging a wall.

Developer's Foresight: All of the game's assets are in plain image and sound files that you can view/hear normally... except for one: the file depicting the Treasure That Must Not Be Seen appears scrambled, just to keep the surprise. In the remake, Xelpud gives commentary for all the usable items (like the Hand Scanner and the Serpent Staff) that you find in the game. He even has them for the Djed Pillar and the Magatama Jewel, the last two you find, but you can only get one per playthrough due to how Xelpud stops talking after all eight Guardians are beaten, and the puzzles (and bosses) that must be overcome to actually get those items.

comment
Knockback: Your main difficulty enhancer; if it happens in midair, you have absolutely zero ability to affect your momentum until you land on solid ground again—even if you land on water you will continue moving backward until you hit the bottom; trying to swim against it will just move you up, meaning you'll go back even further. If you were on a ladder when hit, you at least drop straight down instead of flying across the room. And if you're hit in mid-air in the Wrap Around room in the remake's Chamber of Birth, your only options are to teleport out or reset.

Among other things, it provides a vital hint for unlocking the final boss in a timeframe which isn't best expressed in days.

Schmuck Bait
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_d2c0e2ed
comment
Schmuck Bait: Many traps are easily spotted (or at least anticipated) in advance, like a too-useful item (Ankh Jewel, Life Orb, etc.) sitting in plain view, a weight pedestal sitting underneath a ceiling of spikes, etc. As a sort of meta-schmuck-bait, also consider the treasure which must not be seen. At least one of those trap pedestals is also the solution to a puzzle, but requires that you hit a certain switch elsewhere first (to disable the trap). As well, some traps must be triggered for certain puzzles, like the Descending Ceiling trap you must solve to acquire the Woman Statue. A certain tablet in the Mausoleum of the Giants forbids you from reading it again (in the remake, it then flips around to reveal its opposite side). If you do, it basically says "you shouldn't have done that" and invoked permanently switches the game to "hard mode." The extra enemies aren't a game-breaker by any means, but it also makes the bosses stronger, and the only way to undo it is to restore a previous save. In the remake, NIGORO sure seems to like to mess with people who have played the original game, such as additional traps that didn't exist in the original (or worse, were correct puzzle solutions), some of which also qualify as a Kaizo Trap. You're not allowed to use any weapon inside the pyramid in the Temple of Moonlight, or else you'll be struck by a Bolt of Divine Retribution. There are also devilishly tempting pots and annoying bats littered around the area to tempt you.

Easy Levels, Hard Bosses
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_d4fa75fc
comment
Easy Levels, Hard Bosses: Combat is only a minor issue throughout the game — puzzles and navigation are the main challenge, and being knocked into water or off a platform is more dangerous than Hit Point loss from attacks. During a Boss Battle, though, this is completely different. Doubly so in the remake, due to the bosses' behaviors getting various tweaks, and where reading the forbidden tablet in the Mausoleum of the Giants actually increases the strength (HP and attack power) of all bosses. The Hell Temple boss inverts this trope, being much easier than the torturously hard temple you have to fight through to reach it.

Tactical Suicide Boss
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_d6dee153
comment
Tactical Suicide Boss: It would be almost impossible to damage Sakit if his arm didn't make a convenient bridge to his weak point. Ellmac (in the original version only) is one as well, as it's much easier to hit him when he backs off and returns with his head at just the right level for you to spam shurikens at him when doing his cave-in attack. In the remake there are sections of track that elevate you to striking range of his face, but they're relatively short, and Ellmac has a nasty habit of charging you for a (very damaging) bite attack. Viy doesn't really need to open his eye (his only weakpoint) to attack you, even if it's required for his most powerful attacks. Perhaps the demons that open it are actually on your side?

Anti-Frustration Features
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3
comment
Anti-Frustration Features: In the original version, there is no warning that hitting a particular object results in getting zapped with a Bolt of Divine Retribution. The remake adds Eyes of Divine Retribution in rooms where you can get zapped. The remake is full of these compared to the original. While some of them are obvious, such as the hand scanner no longer being a subweapon, or not needing to find upgrades to use more than one program on your laptop at the very start, some of them are more subtle. For example, the whip has a long startup period compared to the remake. On the second level of Endless Corridor you need to pass by ten numbered doors in the correct order. But should number zero be the first or last? Doesn't matter, the game accepts both.

The End of the World as We Know It: The remake implies it's the Mother who has caused the great cataclysms/disasters of the past because her children failed to return her to the sky, and that she'll destroy the "eighth child" (modern day humans) in 2015. note This was meant to foreshadow the release of the sequel. However, various factors caused the game to be delayed until 2017, making the tablet's message pointless.

comment
Eternal Recurrence: Whenever one of the Mother's children (i.e. the various sapient races) proved not to be up to the task of returning her to the heavens, she erases it and creates a new one. And since the Seventh Children found that the Mother's desire was no longer possible (if it ever was possible in the first place), the only way this cycle of hope, desperation, and frustration is ending is if the Mother herself is killed instead. It never really helped that the only race which showed all that much enthusiasm for restoring the Mother was the Giants — and even then, Sakit's faction wasn't keen on being abandoned.

Dub Name Change: The English version of the remake transliterates most of the names differently than the English patch of the original game. The exception seems to be the area names which are the same in both versions of the game, with the exception of the Confusion Gate/Gate of Illusion. (Ironic since the Japanese version of the remake gives the area names in English already.) Most notable is the change of Shorn to Shawn.

 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_e3ab9e00

Turns Red: Just about every boss has this to some extent, usually starting with a subtle increase in their attack speed. It is more explicit in the remake; for example, after damaging Sakit enough the stone plate on his face falls off, blue energy starts leaking through his upper arms and he drops his energy ball attack in favor of a Rocket Punch. The "Soul of Death" in the final boss fight takes this to an extreme, by casually gaining more attacks and having different animations in the background the more you hurt it. Baphomet also deserves mention for a completely new One-Winged Angel form.

Super Not-Drowning Skills: After which, water is entirely harmless (save for during Bahamut's boss battle in the original version). Which makes the Spring in the Sky subsequently one of the safest levels in the game, as half its difficulty came from drowning. The same is oddly true for lava. In fact, in all likelihood, you'll be able to swim around in LAVA before water.

comment
Mercy Kill: The plan hatched by the four Sages/Philosophers. Realizing that it will probably never be possible to return the Mother to the sky, they decide the best they can do let the Mother rest in peace.

Wake-Up Call Boss
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f
comment
Wake-Up Call Boss: While the original's Amphisbaena could be dispatched rather quickly by spamming shurikens when one of the heads is at ground level, the remake's Amphisbeana has a slightly different method of attack. Sakit in either version. As the boss of the second area, he is many times harder than Amphisbaena was, as he is immune to subweapons (projectiles) and is only vulnerable in the head, which requires a minor Colossus Climb (in a relatively short window of opportunity) up one of his arms to reach. The remake's Ellmac has definitely Taken A Level In Badass, with more-damaging attacks and more HP.

Shall I Repeat That?: In the remake, when NPCs offer large quantities of plot-relevant information, they conclude by offering to repeat it.

Ambidextrous Sprite: Lemeza and Lumisa have different sprites for facing left and right. The same is true of any enemy that holds a weapon or shield in one hand (the lizards in the Confusion Gate, for example).

 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_f5a3e496
comment
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: For legal purposes, references to the MSX are removed from the remake. Instead, Lemeza will carry a Mobile Super X laptop. Also for legal purposes, the much-loved song "Curse of IRON PIPE" has had its last segment tweaked due to being a note-for-note copy of a melody from obscure MSX game Asguine 2. (The rest of the song is unaffected, though it's also been renamed to "Curse of Ocean".)

Wrap Around
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_f7991a5c
comment
Wrap Around: The Endless Corridor wraps around after four screens. In the remake's Chamber of Birth, there's also a room where if you fall off the bottom, you just reappear at the top and continue falling, endlessly. This turns out to be true for all the major areas and an essential clue for solving the Mantra puzzle. Every map can be arranged into a four-by-five grid, and rooms on one edge are considered bordering the opposite edge.

Running Gag
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: The "Curse of Ashguine". Elder Xelpud warns you about it; it turns out to be an iron pipe suddenly sticking out of your crotch. The manual mentions that one type of enemies breathes with an iron pipe originating from its crotch, and the theme of the Spring of the Sky is called "Curse of IRON PIPE"—which contains some musical material that references a certain theme from the game Ashguine 2. (Said material had to be reworked for the remake version to avoid possible copyright issues.)

Sequence Breaking
 La-Mulana (Video Game) / int_fb111d49
comment
Sequence Breaking: You can unlock and battle bosses in pretty much any order your items and abilities permit, as there aren't many bosses who actually block paths to the next area (in fact all the puzzles in the first four areas are entirely self-contained within those areas). Do enough exploration and puzzle-solving and you can amass enough power to kill any of the first four bosses in just a few hits each. On a whole though, the game is well aware of your sequence-breaking desires, and just makes it so you have to work very hard to get what you want. There is almost always more than one path available to you at any time, though one is generally a lot easier than the other.

Video Game Cruelty Punishment: It's not really what you call cruelty, but attacking statues will cause them to fire darts at you. It becomes cruelty when you learn that the ruins are the body of the Mother; you're attacking her from the inside.
