Solomon's Key (Solomon no Kagi) is a Puzzle Platformer by Tecmo.The player controls the wizard Dana, who has the magic power to make brown stones appear and disappear in front of him, which can not only help Dana progress through the single-screen levels but affect the movement patterns of enemies and reveal hidden items.The original Arcade Game was released in 1986, as was a somewhat altered version for the Nintendo Entertainment System. U.S. Gold then released ports for Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, IBM Personal Computer and ZX Spectrum, which were developed by Probe Software. There was also a Sega Master System version published exclusively in Japan.A few sequels were produced, some of them dolled-up: Zipang (1990) for the PC Engine — Developed by Arc and released by Pack-In-Video as a tie-in for a Jidaigeki film. Solomon's Club (1991) for the Game Boy Solomon's Key 2 (1992) for the Nintendo Entertainment System — A more casually paced, puzzle-oriented game in which Dana's mission is to put out fires. Released in North American English as Fire 'n Ice. Solomon (2000) for the Game Boy Color — Includes a Level Editor. Released in North American English as Monster Rancher Explorer.Not to be confused with the IOS game Solomon's Keep. | |

Damage Discrimination | |
| Solomon's Key (Video Game) / int_12478d23 | comment |
Damage Discrimination: Primarily in Key. Played straight since enemies' fire attacks cannot directly hurt other enemies (though destroying blocks on which Dragons, Gargoyles, and Goblins are perched will result in their demise). Averted in Dana's case when casting fireballs. Fireballs will not only roast any enemies in their path, they'll also incinerate any hapless fairies that get caught in the line of fire. | |

Score Multiplier | |
| Solomon's Key (Video Game) / int_12ac916e | comment |
Score Multiplier: Two of the items in Key are potions that multiply the Bonus/Life counter by two or five. This increases the bonus awarded, but not the amount of time available, as the timer's countdown rate is also multiplied by the potions' respective values. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Solomon's Key (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: In the NES version, beating all the levels without collecting the hidden items leads to a rather perfunctory ending which simply has Dana walk out of the now-sealed cave. The ending can be improved if you get the Pages of Time and Space and/or the fairy princess. | |

Genre Blindness | |
| Solomon's Key (Video Game) / int_251bbe0e | comment |
Genre Blindness: Boss fights in Solomon's Key 2 always begin with Dana approaching the boss, only to fall through a trap door and have to solve another puzzle to get out. Apparently not once does he ever think to just not stand in the exact same spot every time while the boss monologues at him. | |

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: Happens twice in Solomon's Key 2. After being told that Druidle kidnapped the wise man's daughter, you rescue her in stage 8...only for her to reveal that they still have her big sister. Then you beat stage 9 and rescue her, too...only for Druidle to intervene and kidnap her again, unlocking the final stage. | |

Timed Mission | |
| Solomon's Key (Video Game) / int_bb48f8ba | comment |
Timed Mission: Each level in Key must be completed on a time limit labeled "Bonus" or "Life" in the NES version. The hourglass powerups here reset the timer to a set value (be it either half of the full base value), which may actually mean less time to finish the level if collected carelessly. Averted in Solomon's Key 2, where the timer counts up without limit. | |

Lighter and Softer: Solomon's Key 2 has bigger and cuter sprites, a more candy-coloured palette, and more forgiving gameplay (you have unlimited lives, and levels, except boss levels and the final world, can be played through in any order even if you don't complete the previous one). The game is even framed as a bedtime story told by a grandmother to her grandchildren. That's not to say that it doesn't get Nintendo Hard as you proceed, though. | |

Anti-Grinding: The Medicine of Mapros (clear jars with golden liquid in the arcade; jars labeled "E" in the console ports) grants the player an extra life upon collection. HOWEVER, it's impossible to score Infinite 1-Ups using this method, as these jars are only available during the first attempt at clearing a level; losing a life removes them until the level is cleared or continuing after running out of lives. | |
