The game is a platform game where players guide Prince Talmit through the carnival-like Marvel Land. Prince Talmit walks with {{left}} and {{right}}, crouches with {{down}}, and crawls with {{downleft}} and {{downright}}. He jumps with {{A}} and {{C}} and can defeat most enemies by jumping on them. Prince Talmit can find a power-up that gives him a Spirit Tail, clone copies of himself that follow him. He can whip at enemies and objects in a line using his Spirit Tail with {{B}}. Hitting an enemy shortens the tail by one clone. Clones pick up items that they touch. Prince Talmit can also find an item that gives him wings for a duration, which give him a significantly higher jump and can flap with {{repeat|{{A}}}} or {{repeat|{{C}}}} to glide down slowly.

Prince Talmit loses a life with one hit. Each area is also timed, and the player also loses a life when time runs out. Collecting food items gives the player more time as well as bonus points. The player gets an extra life every 50,000 points earned. There are three selectable difficulty levels (Digest, Normal, and Game Master), which affect the number of enemies and the number of starting lives. The Digest difficulty is shortened and does not have the full ending. There is a password system for continuing the game.

Marvel Land (マーベルランド) is a 1989 arcade game by Namco ported to the Sega Mega Drive in 1991. In Europe it is known as Talmit's Adventure.

Story

Marvel Land, Introduction, King Mole.png

Marvel Land

Marvel Land is a popular amusement park atop the mountain Peace at the heart of Coni, a land where many different beings live in harmony. One day, Mole (魔王モウル), the king of the "under dwellers," took over Marvel Land by imprisoning the four fairy guards in crystals and kidnapping the Princess Wondra (Princess Luxie in the Japanese version). Prince Talmit (Prince Paco in the Japanese version) sets out to rescue them all and free Marvel Land.

Gameplay

The game is a platform game where players guide Prince Talmit through the carnival-like Marvel Land. Prince Talmit walks with Left and Right, crouches with Down, and crawls with Down-left and Down-right. He jumps with A and C and can defeat most enemies by jumping on them. Prince Talmit can find a power-up that gives him a Spirit Tail, clone copies of himself that follow him. He can whip at enemies and objects in a line using his Spirit Tail with B. Hitting an enemy shortens the tail by one clone. Clones pick up items that they touch. Prince Talmit can also find an item that gives him wings for a duration, which give him a significantly higher jump and can flap with AAAAA or CCCCC to glide down slowly.

The goal of each area is to find its exit. Many of the areas contain multiple exits that lead to different areas or different parts of the same area. Some of the exits lead to a previous area. Prince Talmit enters an exit door with Up. There are also numerous invisible warp areas that transport Prince Talmit to another part of the area. Most of the areas have a huge target that Prince Talmit must jump through to reach the main exit. The player can earn between 100 and 7650 (Namco's goroawase number) bonus points depending on where Prince Talmit hits the target. The player is also awarded bonus points for time remaining. Each world ends with a boss encounter, which takes the form of a mini-game.

Prince Talmit loses a life with one hit. Each area is also timed, and the player also loses a life when time runs out. Collecting food items gives the player more time as well as bonus points. The player gets an extra life every 50,000 points earned. There are three selectable difficulty levels (Digest, Normal, and Game Master), which affect the number of enemies and the number of starting lives. The Digest difficulty is shortened and does not have the full ending. There is a password system for continuing the game.
