[[caption-width-right:350:To kill a demon, you ''must'' be one]]
''Majyuo'', also known as ''The Demon King'', is a 1995 supernatural-themed RunAndGun action game produced for the UsefulNotes/SuperFamicom.
Abel, a HunterOfMonsters in a land infested by demons, had his peaceful life shattered when his friend, Bayer, sold his soul to the Demon King in exchange for supernatural powers. In order to awaken his new master, Bayer kidnaps Abel's family -- consisting of his wife Maria and his young daughter Iria -- for a deadly ritual, nearly killing Abel if not for the intervention of a fairy who decided to save Abel because she knew Abel may be the only hope to defeat the forces of evil.
In order to defeat his former friend, face the Demon King and save his family, Abel must travel across various monster-infested levels, take down each bosses, and consume the soul of different demons to empower himself, turning Abel into various supernatural forms including a WingedHumanoid, a dragonfly-human, a [[DraconicHumanoid were-dragon man]] before unlocking an all-powerful human-demon hybrid to confront Bayer and the Demon King.
----
!!Consuming the Souls of Demons will Provide Tropes Like...
* AdvancingWallOfDoom: In at least two instances, the first happening early in the game where the wall is a giant SandWorm pursuing Abel (which he couldn't defeat yet due to being still a human), forcing him to run to the end of a tunnel and jump into a hole. Later in the hell stage Abel (this time as a were-dragon) must escape an advancing lava wall.
* AmphibianAtLarge: Giant frogs appears in the first level as enemies in the sewers.
* AntagonistTitle: Majyuo, or "Demon King" in Japanese. Guess who's the story's main villain?
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Most bosses and demons have a weak spot that Abel can target to defeat. If the boss towers over Abel, then ''go for the head''.
* AttackOfTheMonsterAppendage: The dragon boss in hell shows up as a single stationary head, which Abel (who's also a dragon at that point) defeats and kills. Then in the next area immediately after the dragon-head boss, Abel uncovers a cavern containing the skeleton of a dragon, ''sans'' head.
*BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler: Iria at the end of the game gets transformed into a succubi by the Demon King]].
* BigBad: The titular Demon King who rules over demonkind, and kickstarts the plot by sending Bayer to abduct Abel's family.
* BreathWeapon: Most of the bosses, including the Demon King, attacks by breathing projectiles. Abel can do this himself as a weredragon, except he blasts "blue fireballs" from his mouth.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Abel managed to kill Bayer and the Demon King, but his wife Maria is dead and his daughter Iria has been transformed into a succubi. And the process of transforming from human to demons are irreversible. Nevertheless, Abel and Iria had decided to continue their mission as a demon-slaying family]].
* BossRush: Before entering the Demon King's chamber, Abel will need to re-fight the first three bosses, one at a time, in separate rooms.
* ChargedAttack: Can be achieved by holding down the fire button, and releasing it. This works even in the first stage, when Abel is just a human.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Abel's final, demon-human hybrid form, who is clad in black armour, and flashes even darker when he performs his FlashStep move. But he's still a hero and a demon hunter trying to save his daughter.
* DemonOfHumanOrigin: Abel, the hero of the game, must consume the souls of slain demons to transform himself into one of them in order to save his family, and there's no turning back for him. [[spoiler: Also Iria gets transformed into a succubus by the Demon King]].
* DraconicHumanoid: Abel's second-to-last form is a human-sized dragon monster.
* DualBoss: Two horse-headed demon executioners serves as a double-boss after [[spoiler: killing Maria]].
* ElementalEmbodiment: Elementals are another recurring threat. The snow level has living snowballs that bounces all over the place, while during the hell stage the lava can ''come to life'' like a giant snake made of flames and attack Abel.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Abel, the gunslinging hero essentially becomes this at the end of each level, after consuming the souls of demons to gain their powers.
* EvilFormerFriend: Bayer, Abel's former partner in the demon-slaying business, but eventually sold his soul to the Demon King, earning a powerful demon form no mortals can harm in the process, and proceed to kidnap his ex-friend's family for his new boss.
* EvilIsVisceral: ''Everywhere'' in the game, infested by demons. The chamber outside the Demon King's lair has the walls and pillars being made ''out of flesh'', with gigantic eyeballs growing in the background observing everything. Also some of those walls have ''faces''.
* FairyCompanion: Shortly after being defeated by Bayer in level 1, Abel is rescued by a good fairy who opposes the demons, and helps him in his quest for rescue.
* FoulFlower: Demonic flowers with human faces are an enemy in the garden stages. There's also a flower elemental boss which is a single giant blossom with a ''nude'' purple demon lady on it's top that hurls projectiles on Abel.
* GiantSpider: The first boss, which ambushes Abel as he's in an elevator and repeatedly drops in and out of the screen.
* HandBlast: After gaining his first transformation, Abel then ditches his pistol, now that he can shoot energy blasts from his hands. In fact, all of Abel's forms (except the were-dragon) has this ability.
* IHaveYourWife: And your daughter. Bayer, under the orders of the Demon King, kidnapped Abel's wife Maria and his daughter Iria to be sacrificed, which drives Abel's RoaringRampageOfRescue throughout the game.
* HornyDevils: [[spoiler: What the Demon King transforms Abel's young daughter Iria into]].
* HornedHumanoid: Seems to be an instant effect whenever humans transform into demons, whether they want to or not. Bayer has horns after his betrayal, as does Abel's final form, and [[spoiler: Iria as a succubi]].
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: What the final battle basically boils down into, because Abel by then is fighting [[spoiler: his own daughter, Iria, who had been transformed by the Demon King into a succubi. It works, with the following cutscene having succubi!Iria calling Abel, "Papa?"]]
* LethalLavaLand: The FireAndBrimstoneHell level before the final confrontation, where Abel must cross a cavern filled with burning lava, some which can come to life and lash out on him. Thankfully Abel at that point of the game Abel has consumed enough demon souls to become a fire-breathing ''weredragon''.
* MoleMonster: The garden stages has plant-enemies that shoots out from the ground under Abel's feet to ambush him.
* {{Oculothorax}}: One of the freakier-looking bosses - a disembodied giant eyeball which takes up more than half the screen, and repeatedly tries to blast Abel with EyeBeams.

''Majyuo'', also known as ''The Demon King'', is a 1995 supernatural-themed RunAndGun action game produced for the UsefulNotes/SuperFamicom.
Abel, a HunterOfMonsters in a land infested by demons, had his peaceful life shattered when his friend, Bayer, sold his soul to the Demon King in exchange for supernatural powers. In order to awaken his new master, Bayer kidnaps Abel's family -- consisting of his wife Maria and his young daughter Iria -- for a deadly ritual, nearly killing Abel if not for the intervention of a fairy who decided to save Abel because she knew Abel may be the only hope to defeat the forces of evil.
In order to defeat his former friend, face the Demon King and save his family, Abel must travel across various monster-infested levels, take down each bosses, and consume the soul of different demons to empower himself, turning Abel into various supernatural forms including a WingedHumanoid, a dragonfly-human, a [[DraconicHumanoid were-dragon man]] before unlocking an all-powerful human-demon hybrid to confront Bayer and the Demon King.
----
!!Consuming the Souls of Demons will Provide Tropes Like...
* AdvancingWallOfDoom: In at least two instances, the first happening early in the game where the wall is a giant SandWorm pursuing Abel (which he couldn't defeat yet due to being still a human), forcing him to run to the end of a tunnel and jump into a hole. Later in the hell stage Abel (this time as a were-dragon) must escape an advancing lava wall.
* AmphibianAtLarge: Giant frogs appears in the first level as enemies in the sewers.
* AntagonistTitle: Majyuo, or "Demon King" in Japanese. Guess who's the story's main villain?
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Most bosses and demons have a weak spot that Abel can target to defeat. If the boss towers over Abel, then ''go for the head''.
* AttackOfTheMonsterAppendage: The dragon boss in hell shows up as a single stationary head, which Abel (who's also a dragon at that point) defeats and kills. Then in the next area immediately after the dragon-head boss, Abel uncovers a cavern containing the skeleton of a dragon, ''sans'' head.
*BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler: Iria at the end of the game gets transformed into a succubi by the Demon King]].
* BigBad: The titular Demon King who rules over demonkind, and kickstarts the plot by sending Bayer to abduct Abel's family.
* BreathWeapon: Most of the bosses, including the Demon King, attacks by breathing projectiles. Abel can do this himself as a weredragon, except he blasts "blue fireballs" from his mouth.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Abel managed to kill Bayer and the Demon King, but his wife Maria is dead and his daughter Iria has been transformed into a succubi. And the process of transforming from human to demons are irreversible. Nevertheless, Abel and Iria had decided to continue their mission as a demon-slaying family]].
* BossRush: Before entering the Demon King's chamber, Abel will need to re-fight the first three bosses, one at a time, in separate rooms.
* ChargedAttack: Can be achieved by holding down the fire button, and releasing it. This works even in the first stage, when Abel is just a human.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Abel's final, demon-human hybrid form, who is clad in black armour, and flashes even darker when he performs his FlashStep move. But he's still a hero and a demon hunter trying to save his daughter.
* DemonOfHumanOrigin: Abel, the hero of the game, must consume the souls of slain demons to transform himself into one of them in order to save his family, and there's no turning back for him. [[spoiler: Also Iria gets transformed into a succubus by the Demon King]].
* DraconicHumanoid: Abel's second-to-last form is a human-sized dragon monster.
* DualBoss: Two horse-headed demon executioners serves as a double-boss after [[spoiler: killing Maria]].
* ElementalEmbodiment: Elementals are another recurring threat. The snow level has living snowballs that bounces all over the place, while during the hell stage the lava can ''come to life'' like a giant snake made of flames and attack Abel.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Abel, the gunslinging hero essentially becomes this at the end of each level, after consuming the souls of demons to gain their powers.
* EvilFormerFriend: Bayer, Abel's former partner in the demon-slaying business, but eventually sold his soul to the Demon King, earning a powerful demon form no mortals can harm in the process, and proceed to kidnap his ex-friend's family for his new boss.
* EvilIsVisceral: ''Everywhere'' in the game, infested by demons. The chamber outside the Demon King's lair has the walls and pillars being made ''out of flesh'', with gigantic eyeballs growing in the background observing everything. Also some of those walls have ''faces''.
* FairyCompanion: Shortly after being defeated by Bayer in level 1, Abel is rescued by a good fairy who opposes the demons, and helps him in his quest for rescue.
* FoulFlower: Demonic flowers with human faces are an enemy in the garden stages. There's also a flower elemental boss which is a single giant blossom with a ''nude'' purple demon lady on it's top that hurls projectiles on Abel.
* GiantSpider: The first boss, which ambushes Abel as he's in an elevator and repeatedly drops in and out of the screen.
* HandBlast: After gaining his first transformation, Abel then ditches his pistol, now that he can shoot energy blasts from his hands. In fact, all of Abel's forms (except the were-dragon) has this ability.
* IHaveYourWife: And your daughter. Bayer, under the orders of the Demon King, kidnapped Abel's wife Maria and his daughter Iria to be sacrificed, which drives Abel's RoaringRampageOfRescue throughout the game.
* HornyDevils: [[spoiler: What the Demon King transforms Abel's young daughter Iria into]].
* HornedHumanoid: Seems to be an instant effect whenever humans transform into demons, whether they want to or not. Bayer has horns after his betrayal, as does Abel's final form, and [[spoiler: Iria as a succubi]].
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: What the final battle basically boils down into, because Abel by then is fighting [[spoiler: his own daughter, Iria, who had been transformed by the Demon King into a succubi. It works, with the following cutscene having succubi!Iria calling Abel, "Papa?"]]
* LethalLavaLand: The FireAndBrimstoneHell level before the final confrontation, where Abel must cross a cavern filled with burning lava, some which can come to life and lash out on him. Thankfully Abel at that point of the game Abel has consumed enough demon souls to become a fire-breathing ''weredragon''.
* MoleMonster: The garden stages has plant-enemies that shoots out from the ground under Abel's feet to ambush him.
* {{Oculothorax}}: One of the freakier-looking bosses - a disembodied giant eyeball which takes up more than half the screen, and repeatedly tries to blast Abel with EyeBeams.
* OurMinotaursAreDifferent: This game has hunchbacked, three-horned mutant minotaurs as one of the GiantMook type of enemies.
* SacrificialLamb: More than halfway into the game, [[spoiler: Maria]] gets killed by a pair of horse-headed demons as [[YouAreTooLate Abel arrived too late]] to save her. The game then continues with Abel fighting the two demons and his rescue mission continues as normal.
* SandWorm: The first boss of the game is a giant worm in an underground tunnel.
* ShapingYourAttacks: Abel, in dragon form, can breath flames in the shape of draconian heads.
* SmartBomb: Abel's fairy partner can cast a spell that wipes out all lower-tier enemies, such as imps or zombies, onscreen, as well as harming larger demons and doing quite some damage to bosses. It has limited use however and is best saved for dire situations.
* StationaryBoss:
** The guardian of hell at the end of the hell level doesn't really move around, but it does teleport occasionally, and sics fiery projectiles all over Abel.
** The Demon King's penultimate form in the final level, which is a horned head and claws growing out of a wall. Said form can't move at all, but the Demon can extend his head to chew at Abel and breath fireballs.
* TrueFinalBoss: After defeating the Demon King, Abel still have one ''last'' boss battle - [[spoiler: Iria, his ''own'' daughter, having been transformed by the demon into a succubi. Thankfully she didn't die after her defeat, merely regaining her consciousness, but there's NO turning back now]].
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: Bayer and the Demon King would sacrifice Abel's young daughter, Iria, with the demon putting Iria through extreme suffering to mutate her into a succubi]].
