Treasure Master (USA)

In Treasure Master, players control a character named Boomer with the primary objective of finding hidden treasure chests. To complete each stage, Boomer must collect a specific number of keys scattered throughout the map. These keys are often guarded by enemies or placed in hard-to-reach locations, requiring players to be agile and strategic.

The gameplay of Treasure Master combines an overhead map view with side-scrolling action stages. From the overhead map, players can select which area or level they wish to explore. Once a level is entered, the perspective switches to a traditional 2D side-scrolling format, where Boomer can run, jump, and attack (typically a short-range punch or kick). Enemies in the game are diverse, each with their own movement patterns and attacks, requiring players to carefully time their movements and strikes. Touching enemies or falling into pits will deplete Boomer's health.

Levels are designed with multiple paths, secret areas, and environmental hazards. Players need to navigate these environments skillfully, often requiring precise jumps and problem-solving to acquire all the necessary keys before the timer runs out. Once all keys are collected, the hidden treasure chest becomes accessible and can be opened, marking the completion of that stage. The ultimate goal of Treasure Master is to collect all the unique treasures across multiple worlds. The game's difficulty progressively increases, introducing more complex level designs, tougher enemies, and more intricate key placements. Success in the game depends on keen observation, skillful platforming, and exploration to uncover all secrets.
