Synopsis

The Wing of Madoola is a platform video game developed and published by Sunsoft. It was published in 1986 for the Family Computer. The game stars Lucia, a magic-wielding warrior of the Rameru clan. Darutos, a descendant of the Rameru line, found the Wing of Madoola statue and used it to build a demonic fortress and summon demons to conquer the world. Lucia must retrieve the statue and stop Darutos. Throughout the journey, the player explores and search for items and power-ups to increase Lucia's attributes, while fighting enemies and defeating bosses. The Wing of Madoola was designed by Kenji Sada, being his first project at Sunsoft after joining the company in 1986, and developed over the course of six months. Sada acted as the game's main programmer, planner, and team lead. He intended to make an action game and choose a female lead for the game, a decision he felt gave character to the title. Artist Kenji "Moriken" Mori acted as character designer. The music was composed by Naoki Kodaka, with assistance by sound programmer Naohisa Morota. The Wing of Madoola garnered a mixed reception from critics and retrospective commentators. The game was supplemented with manga adaptations and music albums. The character of Lucia would make appearances in other titles, including a doujinshi adventure game released for PC in 2009, and became a popular Sunsoft character among Japanese retro gaming fans.
