* ArtEvolution: While the character sprites have been mostly constant throughout the series (except Higgins' red cap in the SNES games, his outfit in ''New'', and Tina herself in ''New'', ''Super II'' and, ''The Beginning''), the artwork has evolved over the years. Higgins was depicted with a caveman-like leopard skin in the ''Adventure Island'' cover and the Japanese ''Adventure Island II'' localization, but this was soon replaced with clothing that resembled his in-game sprites. His character design were also changed entirely in the [[AmericanKirbyIsHardcore North American covers]] of ''III'', ''Super'', and the Game Boy ports to more realistic proportions, dried leaves, and a ponytail. Tina had the most changes even in Japanese artwork, despite her usual sprite depicting a simple two-piece bikini as her casual wear - in the original ''Wonder Boy'' game she had a headband and more wild hair (she looked more or less identical in the MSX version), she wore an exotic regal attire in the original game's box art and the first Game Boy port, wedding gown in ''New'', low cut dress in ''Super II'', one-piece animal skin and red sandals in ''Hudson Selection Vol.4'', and finally a long grass skirt to match her husband's tropical cloth in ''Super Takahashi-Meijin no Boukenjima'' and ''The Beginning''[[note]]though these designs otherwise look so different that, when the former was re-released as ''Takahashi-Meijin no Boukenjima Quest'', that Tina was replaced by the latter design[[/note]] (not to mention her model kept changing in the artwork, such as the one-piece leopard skin she never wore in-game on the cover of ''New'', and her inconsistent hair color and flower, as well as body frame and height, accessories and jewelry, etc.).

'''''Hudson's Adventure Island''''', known in UsefulNotes/{{Japan}} as '''''Takahashi-Meijin no Boukenjima''''' (meaning "''Master Takahashi's Adventure Island''"), is a 1986 side-scrolling platform game by Creator/HudsonSoft for the {{Platform/MSX}} and Platform/NintendoEntertainmentSystem, where the player controls a tropical warrior named Master Higgins (known in Japan as Takahashi-Meijin, after Hudson's spokesman Toshiyuki Takahashi) on his quest to rescue his "favorite lady" (wife in later games) from King Quiller (AKA the Evil Witch Doctor), [[WizardNeedsFoodBadly and stuff his face full of whatever food he can find, lest he drop dead]]. The more well-known NES version is a licensed [[UsefulNotes/SoftwarePorting re-release]] of the original ''VideoGame/{{Wonder Boy|1}}'' with the [[DivorcedInstallment characters swapped out]], which was possible thanks to the fact that ''VideoGame/WonderBoy'' developer Westone was an independent company from Creator/{{Sega}} and owned the code to the game, despite the fact that Sega owned the ''Wonder Boy'' trademark.

* DevelopersForesight: In the third game, in many Coast and Forest areas it's possible for the player to just fly over the level when riding a Pteranodon. However, the upper part of the maps of those levels is riddled with birds, and sentient clouds that will throw thunders at the player. That, combined with the upper part of those maps being completely devoid of food, makes just flying over a level a much harder task.
