Wardner is a platform game developed by Dragnet and released for the Sega Mega Drive in 1991. In Japan, it was known as Wardner no Mori Special (ワードナの森SPECIAL) and published by Visco. In North America, it was published by Mentrix Software.
It is based on a 1987 arcade game called Wardner no Mori in Japan and Pyros in North America, which was developed by Toaplan and published by Taito.
Columbus Circle (in a deal with Tatsujin) announced an aftermarket re-release of the game in Japan for September 2024, dropping the Special from the title and naming it as Wardner no Mori instead.[4]
A boy named Dover and a girl named Mia are wandering about when they get lost in the forest of the sinister warlock Wardner. Suddenly, a green spectre comes and kidnaps Mia, leaving Dover to find her.
Gameplay
The game is a side-scrolling platformer played as Dover, who traverses a fantasy land to rescue Mia. The early stages are linear, populated with obstacles and enemies, requiring the player to traverse the stage by running, jumping, climbing, shooting or dodging enemies, while later stages are more maze-like and exploratory, making the player take different routes to reach the end. Dover walks with and and crouches with . He jumps with or . He can squeeze through tight spots by jumping while crouching. He automatically grabs vines when he passes in front of them and climbs them with and .
Dover attacks enemies by shooting fireballs at them with . Defeated enemies drop Crystals, which power up Dover's attack, or Money Bags, which can be used to buy items in the shop. Dover initially shoots one fireball at a time in a downward trajectory; he must wait until the fireball dissipates by hitting the ground or an enemy before he can shoot another. By collecting 16 Small Crystals (or a single Large Crystal), Dover gains the ability to shoot another fireball, up to a maximum of 8. Additionally, after a stage is completed, the player enters a shop and can spend the money collected from enemies to buy magic items that change the pattern of Dover's attacks. Only one such item can be held at a time, and it is kept until it is replaced or until the end of the game.
Ordinarily, Dover dies after taking a single hit from an enemy or hazard. He can find (or buy in the shop) the Magical Cape item, which allows him to withstand one more hit. If he has a cape, purchasing the Needle and Thread item from the shop allows him to repair it in order to take one additional hit. If he dies, he restarts the stage at a predetermined checkpoint. Some hazards, such as spikes and lava, instantly kill Dover regardless of what items he possesses. There is also a timer, and Dover loses a life if he does not complete the stage before time runs out (unless he has the Magical Clock item, which grants him another 30 seconds after time runs out). Some stages contain NPCs, and the timer resets when talking to them. The player gains extra lives at certain points thresholds. Stages contain hidden spots that reward the player with bonus points for moving over them.

Versions
The game has been remixed for the Mega Drive port: Stage 2 got a new boss (was a reused stage 1 boss). Stage 3 got the Arcade version's Stage 4 boss (original stage 3 boss was also a reused boss). Stage 4 has been split up into stages 4 and 5, with new bosses added. These resulting stages also contain a few extra sections. The final series of rooms leading to Wardner has also been changed significantly, with the home port having the double amount of rooms and differing obstacles in them. The final boss had a safe spot just in front of his knee, allowing to defeat him with no effort. This has been fixed by changing his attack pattern. Various other changes exist such as different hidden bonuses.
The graphical conversion left much to be desired. Parts of it, such as missing background details, world map and shop entrance graphics, can be explained by the small ROM size. Other changes however, appear to have been avoidable. Multiple stages have big parts of the color palette unused. All enemies aside from the floating skulls draw their colors from this limited pool. Color positions were swapped for unknown reasons, so that objects in the background appear brighter than in the foreground.
