Alex Kidd in Shadow World
アレックスキッドのミラクルワールド · Alex Kidd no Miracle World
A complete fan-made Alex Kidd adventure by Victor Maciel built on Alex Kidd in Miracle World, with a new story, levels, enemies and graphics, plus a tougher Extreme Edition.
What it is
Alex Kidd in Shadow World is a new adventure made as a hack of Alex Kidd in Miracle World. A dark wizard has taken over the Shadow Kingdom and sealed Estela inside a magic orb, and Alex sets out across forgotten lands to free her.
What's new
- a new story with redesigned levels, from waterfalls and a living lava kingdom to a dark forest, Radactian City and the wizard's castle
- new enemies and new graphics
- music drawn from across the Alex Kidd series
Two editions
The Deluxe Edition is the redone and expanded version of the hack, available in English and Portuguese. The Extreme Edition raises the challenge: more enemies on screen, longer stages, a sword and shield to collect and extra polish, and the author dares players to finish it on a single life.
