The game also received a port on Bandai WonderSwan in 1999 as well as multiple re-releases. It is part of the first set of the Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon series.

Gameplay

Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon is a roguelike game in which you control the franchise's mascot character Chocobo, that appears in the Final Fantasy series to explore mysterious dungeons.

Plot

The main characters, Chocobo, and Moogle Atla visit a village. At that time, a farmer in the village who was cultivating the field accidentally digs up a mysterious amethyst that grows by absorbing desires, and his soul is taken in. At the same time, a mysterious dungeon appeared in the village, and Chocobo dived into a mysterious dungeon to rescue Kamira.

The story is divided into three stages, and later Atla is also incorporated into the amethyst. After clearing the first and second dungeons, the ending will flow and move to the next dungeon, alike to Enix's Torneko's Great Adventure: Mystery Dungeon.

Development

Between Kazuhiko Aoki, the game's director, of Square at that time and Koichi Nakamura of Chunsoft, the former company were working on their first Mystery Dungeon title. However, Chunsoft was not involved in the development of this work, it was jointly developed by Square and Banpresto, while being supervised by Nakamura for production advice. In this series, the title is no longer "Fushigi no Dungeon" due to the feeling of words, but it has been changed to "Fushigina Dungeon" with the consent of Nakamura.
