Item Description
Every wall in Garland Castle might be hiding something. A shop, a key, a door to the next floor, a honeycomb that permanently stretches your health meter, or nothing at all: the only way to know is to fire bubbles at everything and see what happens. Hudson Soft's Milon's Secret Castle is one of the most secretive games on the NES, a puzzle-platformer where exploration matters far more than combat, and that obsessive, poke-at-every-brick quality is exactly why it has such a devoted following among retro players.
Milon's mission is to climb the castle and rescue Queen Eliza, and music sits at the center of his world; the original Japanese title translates roughly to Labyrinth Suite. Hidden music boxes open bonus stages where you collect notes, a fitting reward in a game built around melody. Shops sell health and tools, and their keepers sometimes offer cryptic hints. Spring shoes let Milon bounce higher, honeycombs and medicine keep him going, and every boss guards a prize he needs for the climb ahead.
Make no mistake, this is a demanding game. The bubbles have a short range, the bosses hit hard and have humbled countless players, and the castle never tells you where its next secret lies. Released on the Famicom in 1986 and in North America in 1988, it reflects a Japanese design philosophy that rewarded patience and experimentation, and its hidden continue code, entered by holding Left and pressing Start, became a famous playground secret.
Hudson's bee mascot even turns up as a shield power-up, a nod from the company that also brought Adventure Island and Bomberman to the NES. Milon later returned in DoReMi Fantasy on the Super Famicom, but this is his original quest, and a rewarding cartridge for anyone who loves mapping a world one hidden brick at a time.

About the game
Guide Milon through the four levels of Garland Castle in his quest to reach the top floor and vanquish the big boss! The journey is a difficult one though, because the castle is locked up tight and Milon doesn't have the keys. You will have to use your bubble attacks to fend off the castle baddies while busting up every block in sight trying to find all of the hidden treasure and other secrets throughout the game. Unlike most platformers, Milon's Secret Castle is less about defeating all of the enemies in an area, and more about scouring every bit of each room to find the secrets that lie within Garland Castle! Milo can uncover practically anything in the game. This includes: items, power-ups, money, shields, keys, level exits, even shops! The only way to get to each level boss is to find the right secret items!
