''Monster World IV'' is the sixth installment in the ''VideoGame/WonderBoy'' franchise, originally released for the [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Mega Drive]] before the franchise's 20 years long break. The player controls Asha, a young girl who embarks on a journey to help out spirits calling for her, and is accompanied by an amorphous RidiculouslyCuteCritter known as a Pepelogoo and a disgruntled genie who escorts Asha to the Kingdom of Rapadagna.
