Completing the game once also unlocks the level editor and the ability to exchange these levels through the GBC’s Link Cable.
Replaying the game and picking them all up unlocks the tower’s hidden Basement, ten tough levels that if completed will bring you to the Phoenix and the true ending.
Still, just like in the other titles, defeating her is not the end of everything: upon her monster’s defeat you will obtain a silver key, and there’s other nine of them hidden around the tower. Nada (which is “Dana” with inverted syllables, if you think about it) seized control of the tower, kidnapped the villagers, trained the monsters to attack the intruders and is obviously the final enemy residing in the top floor. The only real difference is the presence of bosses: every ten levels or so Cox will meet the followers of an evil priestess named Nada, who control some powerful monsters that need to be defeated by manipulating the environment through Cox’ ability. This setup is visually kinda similar to the Korin’s Tower arc in Dragon Ball, up to the Native American-looking dude who guards the tower’s entrance.Ĭox is able to conjure and destroy crates instead of stone blocks, has fireworks instead of fireballs, and creatures from Monster Rancher take the place of the usual enemies, but other than that the main gameplay stays exactly the same.
His mission is to climb the sixty floors of a tower, as the subtitle of the game says (“ Cox’s adventure Quest of the White tower“), in order to discover the mystery of a powerful Phoenix that is said to inhabit it, and also to find all the people of the nearby village who entered the tower but never came back. This time the protagonist is an adventurer/researcher named Cox, who comes from another related GBC game, Monster Rancher Battle Card. The game is also actually a prequel to the main Monster Rancher series, being set 35 years before these games. Then again, they’re both Tecmo franchises, so they can do whatever. Though, strangely, the original Japanese release is still called just “ Solomon” with no mention of Monster Rancher. Monster Rancher Explorer is yet another reinvention of the original 1986 Solomon’s Key, and yet another example of a popular license slapped on an unrelated property in order to sell more.
