Capcom World (Japan)

Mastering Capcom World (Japan) requires a mix of action gameplay skill and basic knowledge of 1980s Capcom game lore, so follow these tips to clear all six worlds and unlock the secret final ending. First, prioritize your character pair selection at the start of the game: we recommend pairing a high-damage brawler like Ryu with a high-mobility character like Mega Man. Ryu's Hadouken special move deals 3x more damage to all boss characters, while Mega Man's slide ability lets you dodge unblockable projectile attacks that other characters cannot avoid. For trivia rounds, most questions focus on Japanese release details of Capcom's 1985-1989 titles, so remember that Mega Man was originally named Rockman in Japan, the first Street Fighter game released in 1987, and the first boss in Ghosts 'n Goblins is the Zombie Knight. Answering three trivia questions in a row grants you a permanent 20% damage boost and one extra life, so use save states on PLAYERETRO to re-try questions if you are not familiar with Japanese Capcom lore. For action segments, follow these world-specific tips: in the Ghosts 'n Goblins world, never stand still for more than two seconds, as zombies respawn infinitely if you stay in one spot. In the Strider Hiryu world, always use the hanging grapple points to cross laser trap sections, as the lasers will one-shot your character regardless of remaining health. For boss fights, the M. Bison fight in the Street Fighter world is the most challenging for new players: stay at mid-range at all times, throw Hadoukens immediately after he finishes his Psycho Crusher attack, and never jump, as his air kick has a 90% hit rate against airborne targets. Finally, keep an eye out for hidden golden coins hidden behind breakable walls in the top-left or top-right corner of every action segment: collecting all six coins unlocks a secret bonus stage where you can earn five extra lives and a special attack boost for the final boss fight against Sagat.
