The wagon system was also introduced in Dragon Warrior IV.  With the wagon you can travel with more than four party members and can switch them in and out of battle on command.  Also new to the game was the [[Medal King]] who makes appearances is the sequels as well.  If you collected small medals for him you could exchange them for prizes.  The casino was also expanded to include poker, slots, and monster fight betting.  If you won big at the casino you could exchange your chips for extremely valuable prizes.

===Version Differences===
Both the [[Playstation]] and [[Nintendo DS]] versions have a [[Prologue]] chapter to introduce the [[Hero (Dragon Warrior IV)|hero]] before chapter one begins, as well as a 6th chapter with a bonus dungeon and alternate ending.  There is also a new Tactics feature to manually control your party in chapter 5.  The Playstation version uses the graphics engine from [[Dragon Warrior VII]] and the [[Nintendo DS]] remake uses nearly the same style.  Other differences include:
*The first floor of the [[Imperial Pantry of Parthenia]] has a [[Thief's Key]] door blocking off the rest of the cave.  To get it opened, [[Borya]] has to be recruited, which triggers a scene where Alena breaks the door down despite having the key.  The Nintendo version of the cave lacks the door and can be completed without recruiting Borya.
*In the Nintendo Version, [[Marquis de Léon]] dies after his defeat, whereas in the remakes, he reverts to his human form and forgets his time as a monster.
*Both of the remakes have the [[Lightning staff]] available much sooner in the [[Vault of Vrenor]] as opposed to later in [[Castle Nadiria]].
*In Chapter 5 of the remakes, the location of the [[Desert Bazaar]] becomes an [[Immigrant Town]] under the guidance of [[Hank Hoffman Jr.]].
