talk about ~Devil World~ The "Devil," the boss of the demons, commands the Forced Scroll.





• Devil World (1984) is a maze action game for Famicom/NES, developed by Nintendo and Intelligent Systems.

• Players control Tamagon, a green dragon navigating mazes while avoiding monsters and the boss, the Devil.

• It features forced scrolling; the Devil points directions for minions to move the entire maze boundary.

• Tamagon must collect Crosses or Bibles to breathe fire and eat dots, as he is otherwise helpless.

• Each round has 3 stages: eating dots, sealing the Devil with Bibles, and a bonus stage for extra lives.

• The game was not released in North America until 2023 due to policies against religious icons like crosses.

• Praised for its cute graphics and BGM, though random scrolling can make items unreachable or feel unfair.

• The sound effect of Tamagon hatching was later reused for Yoshi's egg in Super Mario World.

• The Devil boss appears as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros., using his scrolling powers.

• A unique, early work by Shigeru Miyamoto that adds a challenging, dynamic twist to the dot-eat genre.
