Monster World IV is a Japanese title released for SEGA Mega Drive in 1994. You play as Asha, a young green-haired girl who is able to hear the pleas of the Elemental Spirits coming from Monster World, so she adventures off to free them, adopting a pet monster she calls Pepe' along the way.
Gameplay revolves around walking along a 2D landscape fighting a variety of monsters, as well as interacting with various people. Playing the game also requires Asha to utilize Pepe's abilities (holding will call Pepe, use + to throw him); such as clogging a lava geyser with his flame resistant body.

Save your game!
There is a save function within the game itself (2 slots), as well as a state-save function used by the emulator (99 slots), I suggest you make use of state-saving as frequently as possible as you can save at any time. Having numerous save files will also allow you to go "back in time" and attempt to make a better approach to a boss or other enemy (keeping more lives) if you didn't do too well the first time.
To save and load your games, simply press at any time and select save or load. You can use up to 99 slots.
