Alex is not drinking root beer. And there's no "mug-like-object". It is a completely black sprite. Please refer to the Sega.jp article regarding Alex Kidd in Miracle World. IIRC it talks about the rice ball. The Root Beer is a myth! Marc K 20:21, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

I just added a picture that was already in another article. 64.111.156.148 00:16, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm... I'm familiar with this game, I will make it a personal project. --Ifrit 08:22, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

This is certainly one of the most underrated titles to appear during the 8-bt era and I feel that it would have been a big hit if it had the exposure that the NES could provide. Super Mario Brothers was good, but I felt that Alex Kidd was far superior. Variety in graphics and gameplay were well developed including vehicles and different worlds (that weren't palette swaps). It's unfortunate that the sequels were not as good and even felt as if they were from a different game series, with the Alex Kidd character inserted.

Though I played Miracle World far more, I always enjoyed playing Shinobi World a bit more. Anyway, I agree that this game deserves more than this lowly article, that's why I was planning on expanding it a bit (maybe include info about the different levels, monsters, bosses, items, ect. I haven't played it for years and years, but I have it on an emulator (legally as I technically still own the game.. even though my SMS II would probably barely function after this time :P ) Ifrit 06:29, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] translation

Is this a good translation or would Wonder World be better? And is Janken in Latin or English? -lysdexia 23:30, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Wonder World? Where'd you get that from? It's always been Miracle World, as far as I know. And Janken is Japanese, actually - the full phrase is Jan-Ken-Pon which basically refers to the game of Rock Paper Scissors. H Hog 12:15, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
