Overview

When Tom-Tom defeats the dragon MEKA, the wounded beast casts a spell on him, turning him into Lizard-Man. To regain his original human form, he must find the Salamander Cross, hidden by the Vampire Dragon in the Land of Monsters. In this game, the hero can go anywhere, as long as he has the right character or item. While completing missions, various dragon bosses must be defeated. Each win gives a new character shape with new abilities, such as flying, swimming, walking on ceilings or clinging to walls. These abilities also allow the player to access new areas of the world. Possible shapes include Lizard-Man, Mouse-Man, Piranha-Man, Lion-Man and Hawk-Man, with the main attributes determined by attack power, defense points and charm points. Some blocks can only be destroyed by specific weapons or are only usable for specific character shapes. Basic actions consist of attacking and jumping, and the status screen can equip the character with swords, shields and armor. Special attacks include fireballs, tornadoes, arrows, boomerangs and lightning strikes. Along the way, the player collects keys and gold left behind by defeated creatures, and some places must sometimes be revisited to gain access to new areas. Equipment and items can be purchased in cities.
