GamesRadar rated this game number 29 overall on the NES:

"Like many NES games, the plot of Adventure Island revolves around the protagonist trying to save his girlfriend. The rotund Master Higgins' significant other was whisked away by King Quiller, and it's up to him to navigate levels filled with enemies, traps, and other pitfalls. Same old story, but it made for a very cool game.
"Though it looks and sounds fine, it's really the gameplay that makes Adventure Island stand out. Many NES games were difficult because they were simply bad, but Adventure Island was difficult by design, with challenging levels that never felt unfair. That approach made us appreciate Adventure Island more, and even now its worth a visit."
Check out the conclusion from this review from Nintendo Life:

"Adventure Island may be the least polished of the series, but it still holds up today. It's never really hard - it just requires quick reaction speed and memorization. If you're a fan of platformers, this is not one to be missed. It's a cult classic and still great. Just get that Hudson bee or you'll be sorry! And for those wondering, New Adventure Island is not a remake of this game. It has the same basic gameplay elements, but the levels are entirely different. It also adds two weapons."
Here's some info from our pals at Wikipedia
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_Island_(video_game) )
"Hudson's Adventure Island, also known simply as Adventure Island, is a side-scrolling platform game produced by Hudson Soft that was first released in Japan for the Famicom and MSX on September 12, 1986. It was later released in North America for the Nintendo Entertainment System on September 1988 and in the PAL region in 1992 under the title of Adventure Island Classic.
"Adventure Island is an adaptation of the arcade game Wonder Boy, originally developed by Escape for Sega. Adventure Island was followed by a series of sequels with no connection to the Wonder Boy series.
"The player controls Master Higgins, a young man who ventured to Adventure Island in the South Pacific after hearing that the Evil Witch Doctor kidnapped Princess Leilani. Although she is referred as Princess Leilani in the English version's manual, the character is identified at the end of the game and both in the Japanese version and the original Wonder Boy as Tina. The Evil Witch Doctor may also be alternatively known as King Quiller, although this is not made clear in the game manual which lists it as a separate mystery enemy. Their names would be largely standardized in later localizations. To rescue her, Higgins must survive a series of 32 stages. There are eight worlds called "areas", which are divided four stages or "rounds" each, which are further divided into four checkpoints. When the player reaches the fourth round of each area, he must confront a boss at the end to continue to the next area. The game is completed when the player saves the girl after defeating the eighth and final form of the evil lord."
