PrinceWatercress plays Do-Re-Mi Fantasy: Milon no Dokidoki Daibouken - Part 1 of 13

Believe it or not, this is the sequel to Milon's Secret Castle. Believe it or not, it's a lot better. Believe it or not, we didn't get it because NINETEEN NINETY SIX. Virtual Console has since corrected this horrifying sin, so we can actually play a Milon game that's actually halfway decent.

Anyway, some giant demon materializes and kidnaps Milon's fairy friend. Turns out this same demon is also responsible for the disappearance throughout the land, as well.

At the beginning of every stage, you'll get hints for the world you're currently in.

You'll want to run faster where the wind blows.

You can use the springs to run even faster for a few seconds and plow through enemies as long as you have that temporary burst of speed.

Level 1-1

To defeat enemies, simply blow bubbles at them. If an enemy in a bubble hits another enemy on the way up, they'll get captured in a bubble as well. You can also use this attack to break blocks.

If you collect clothes, you'll get two extra hit points. Milon's clothes will go from red to green to signify this. If you pick up an extra set of clothes while you have the extra hit, you'll gain ten musical notes. Pick up 100 musical notes to get an extra life. When you get hit, you'll go from green to blue to red.

The bowling ball can be picked and thrown to hit multiple ground-based enemies.

Use the spring on the wall to propel Milon to a faster speed and break through the blocks.

Level 1-2

Just jump into the log to go down the slide on it. If you want to get the extra life in the lake, you'll have to make it to the clouds on the top and jump into the lake from there. The clouds will bounce you up whenever you land on them.

You can also jump on enemies to use them as stepping stones. Some enemies will be killed outright if you do this.

Level 1-3

The leaves act as platforms. Watch out with the dead leaves, as they'll slowly drop as soon as you land on them.

The bubble gum rescues you from a bottomless pit in case you accidentally fall into one. Once you use it, though, you'll have to find another one. You'll fly really high when you use it, so you'll have to make a snap decision to either go back to where you were or sail clear over the pit. It's your call.

Throughout the level, you'll also be dealing with logs falling from the sky. Jump over them as they come your way.

Level 1-4

There's a bonus game in the cave below and right of the start. Go in and you'll be shooting birds. The closer to the left side that you shoot them from, the more points you get. The more points you get, the better the bonus at the end.

The gold icon of Milon's face with the star flashing behind it is the invincibility power-up.

The icon with the bubble on it is a weapon upgrade. Your bubble attack will have more range when you collect it.

The Winged Shoes will allow you to slowly float downwards, allowing you to make some longer and/or more accurate jumps by holding down the B button.


You can charge your shot to shoot down everything close to you just by holding the Y button. This also lets you shoot down blocks and enemies that are directly above your head, and you'll need to exit this level.
