Mônica no Castelo do Dragão is a retooled version of Wonder Boy in Monster Land released in 1991, exclusively in Brazil. Authorized and licensed by Sega, it was produced by Tec Toy together with Maurício de Sousa Produções (also known as Estúdios Mauricio de Sousa) with the goal of suiting the brazilian audience, using popular brazilian characters. This version features Mônica, a character from the popular brazilian children's comic named A Turma da Mônica (Monica's Gang in english), created by the brazilian cartoonist Maurício de Sousa. This was the first Master System game to receive this type of localization treatment from Tec Toy - several others would follow in the next five years.
In April 1992 the game had an adapted version published in the issue 64 of the comic book Mônica, on which Capitão Feio (the guy in the game's title screen) appears in the end to fight Mônica. This story was made available for free online for a while, both in portuguese and in english, but is currently offline, although the portuguese version can still be seen in its entirety through the Wayback Machine.

Gameplay

You can use the button to make Mônica open doors and climb stairs, button will throw bombs, use special weapons and go down stairs. The button is used to stab the enemies with your main weapon, the bunny Sansão, while the button is used to jump and leave the buildings faster. Lastly, the START button brings up the status window, which shows your points, gold, equipment, potions and so on.
Killing the monsters, passing through obstacles and collecting treasures grant you points and upon reaching 100.000, 200.000, 300.000 and 400.000 points will give you extra lives. Getting hit by the monsters or falling onto dangerous kind of grounds such as lava makes your health, represented by little red hearts which become black in your status bar, go down and you lose a life once all of them become black.
The gold collected during the game, in the form of coins and bags, can be used to purchase equipment as well as other useful items.

Story

“	Capitão Feio, Master of the Sewers, one of the most terrifying villains that comics have ever known, has the dream of conquering the world to leave it dirty and polluted. To achieve this goal, he gathered a powerful army of monsters, having the evil dragon Cospe Fogo as his right arm. By surprise, the monsters attacked and dominated everyone. Now, only one person can defeat Capitão Feio and his allies: our little friend Mônica. To overcome the bad guys, Mônica can count on the help of her bunny Sansão, and friends who will give her rest, sell weapons, and share valuable information. If Mônica fails, she will become a monster of dirt. She will need a lot of your skill, determination and courage, to free the world from the monsters and make Capitão Feio go back to the sewers! Good adventure!	„
