* FanTranslation: To be expected of a game that is part of a series that usually got translated. It received an official translation nearly two decades after its Japanese release. Comparing the two, it's obvious the FanTranslation made up several lines that weren't in the original, left several Japanese characters which could've been translated just fine, and has several inaccuracies. One of the most infamous is the book indicating that Shion mysteriously disappeared after the events of ''Monster World,'' which is nowhere to be found in the original.
* MarketBasedTitle: With the remake announced it will have a proper "''Wonder Boy''" name attached on its title along with dropped romanic number like 2017's ''VideoGame/WonderBoyIIITheDragonsTrap'' remake just in case that ''Monster World IV'' is part of the series which notably won't make sense to use it since Asha being the female protagonist of the game back then as well as avoiding title confusion & with the release of ''VideoGame/MonsterBoyAndTheCursedKingdom'' which included her cameos, it's seems appoparite time to give the remake a proper brand name.
