A sweet treat

Ghost 'n Goblins is known for two things; punishing difficulty and Arthur's boxers. Both of those elements return in Ghost n' Goblins Resurrection, as does series creator Tokura Fujiwara. In an interview with Polygon, Mr. Fujiwara reveals the surprising details on how Arthur's infamous boxers came to be.

There’s one very important detail I need to share with you that people might not know: the pattern on his underwear is actually strawberries. Arthur has this air of ruggedness when he has his armor on, but on the inside, he gets a little fancy and wears his favorite boxers. However, his underwear isn’t simply just something that he likes to wear. It was actually a gift from the princess and acts as a “charm” to protect Arthur in battle. It’s probably safe to say the strawberry design was something the princess was fond of.
