Super Castlevania 4 Dracula's Castle Part 1

[johnapplesee]

I died over 20 times trying to climb those falling stairs, cause I was never able to get my feet on it...then with luck, I landed, then beat the stage! :D (with my heart beating fast) XD

[6Death6Feast6]

Wow....I have to say that the pc - version of the game is a lot easier as the snes one.

You are 3 times faster when you hit with your whip and you can throw more boomerangs at on time.

Good run...but try to replay it on snes....I'm sure you wont do it!^^

[BeholdMyStrength]

@6Death6Feast6 I have played this on the SNES as I've owned it since it was released. In fact, I'm even better on the console than I am using an emulator with a keyboard.

[CaptainLovecraft]

@6Death6Feast6 you can throw 3 at once when you get the upgrade. you get the upgrade by using a weapon a lot, and then checking the candles.

[devmiles]

this music revealed so much of the epic snes soundchip. this will stay in our hearts forever

[Strifeguy1995]

This is the best castlevania ever, Nice gameplay dood

[MacSYNtv]

Always wondered if the bridge was falling apart and the bats were simple just underneath the bridge or if the bridge was falling apart and turning into bats.....if it is fall apart and transforming into bats i always thought it would make a memorable movie special effect if this was made into a movie rather than that crappy Van Hellstink they made

[irbb07]

i know the 1st song is vampire killer. what is the 2nd song on B 2 i know its in every castlevaina game also ??

[BeholdMyStrength]

@irbb07 It's titled "Beginning". First appeared in Castlevania III, so technically, this was only it's second time being used.

[9dissection9]

@BeholdMyStrength Nope. It is called Bloody Tears!

[BeholdMyStrength]

@9dissection9 No, the song played in Stage A, the clocktower is Bloody Tears. The song played in B2 here IS "Beginning".

[jaktje]

vampire killer FTW

[TechnoDevotee]

finally they play the best vampire hunter song! :D

[Twinkieguy]

Question: Why do you always jump and then strike downwards at the candelabras and junk? Just asking.

[kortland12]

Is this castlevania that good?

and is it a remake of the first?

[stickymidgets]

@kortland12 yes and yes

[Cobrasaturn360]

Best ever Castlevania game... I hope Lord of shawdows is just as good when i get it on friday!!!

[SuperBrictson]

2:38 that part was where i stuck, i never died with the spikes, simply i fell in the progressive precipice, who the fuck invented that? the more you climb, the higher reach the precipice!!!!!!

[simplyxwilliam]

the part at 2:23 i can't get passed it because its so hard to get through it. can anyone help me about that part?

[Cyberleader12]

Insanely good at this game. You truly deserve the title BeholdMyStrength

[duffmancantsee]

as much as i enjoyed symphony of the night, this right here is what castlevania is all about

[BeholdMyStrength]

@duffmancantsee YES!

[samuraichamploo07]

@duffmancantsee and thats exactly what angry video game nerd said,that though symphony was good,castlevania 4 was what its about.

[sebastianquilt]

Man, my D-pad always locks up when I'm on those crumbling stairwells -- it's very annoying. Nice job here.

[petitthanh]

2:27 Rooooh lol ^^'

[willd3rbeast]

I can't help but love this music and the vibe it always gives me.

[mtiller2006]

Dang, you make this look so easy. I always fine it difficult with those hovering stones going straight towards the last spikes...dang, that's tough. Very good job!

[CASSdaguy]

I die at the very end of this video, every time. Actually, that's the reason I'm watching this video right now, to see if that last jump is even possible, which it is.

[2turbotitaniumxtreme]

@CASSdaguy

I remember that same thought, back in 1992. You know it is possible, but it really is the hardest part of the game, as this video even shows quite well. Usually when you get these videos, you get somebody who just breezes through, but he had to catch himself in this video at that part, and I thought that just went to show the awesomeness of this game.

[BeholdMyStrength]

@2turbotitaniumxtreme Yeah, if you practice enough at that part you can usually make it through with no problems. But every now and then you WILL screw it up a couple of times, no matter how good you are/how much you practiced.

[Luigi84289]

forgot how much time they give you. No worries about any time limit problems.

[Luigi84289]

bloody tears followed up by the amazing Vampire Killer.

[DiabloJas]

i dont get that dont you think all the the castle should be named Draculas castle instead of the tower of the throne only asking

[FenrirInBarnsley]

The thing me and my brother discovered which was unique to this game and is a legend in itself.. the 'castlevania heart syndrome'.. seen at 1:15 .. the candle over the spikes.. if you collected the heart which the candle held, you died instantly. so whats the point?! lol

[LivesInCastlevania]

This has to be the best Castlevania.

[ningeaBLADEclanuBECA]

yes,i think it's the only castlevania where you have a button for the special wepon,you don't have to press up/right or up/left+A to use it.you can also rotate that chain 360 degrees,the music is the best,graphics outstanding etc

[Hakuromatsu]

@ningeaBLADEclanuBECA It's not the only one, but it was the first one. Bloodlines also uses a separate button.

[AntekSF17]

@LivesInCastlevania And it is, Vampire Killer and Beginning were my favorite soundtracks, if I ever make a video of this game it will be, it will be on Gameanyone

[scigamerfan07]

I love this level, but the d-pad in my SNES controller is so worn out and it is usually one large plus sign button that you press. So when I got to the ring part, when the song plays "Beginning", I would fall from the stairs because the d-pad was so loose.

I hope when I get the classic controller or even my Gamecube controllers, the same thing won't happen. I hate Nintendo D-pads, I perfer the ones from Playstation because each directional button is separated from the other.

[JoshinSGV]

wow! I'm impressed! you made this level look so simple. this is my least favorite level in the entire game. i struggle with that stupid spiked wheel so much. I also hate the fact that if you miss a stepping stone, you become a sitting duck to the spiked wheel of doom that follows you underneath.

[joelwatkins]

My thoughts exactly!

[ninjasolidsnake]

o yeah vampire killer!! i also like bloody tears

[satch919]

I hated this level. I used to have such a hard time with it. You made it look so simple. :P

[ejr23]

My favorite stage was probably either the treasury or the clock tower.

[ejr23]

Tthe first part's theme of this stage is from the original game, and the grim reaper stage in CVIII. Ah good times.....

[BeholdMyStrength]

Yeah, and that "theme" is named "Vampire Killer", and it appears in MANY other Castlevania games besides the first 3rd, and 4th games.....

[HakoroNui]

@BeholdMyStrength EVERY other castlevania game. I checked.

[LbYs]

My personal favorite stage, and SLOGRAAAA <3

[spetznazagent]

when i played this level the first time, the ring pwned me, lol

[fitzinabox]

u got skills bro

[OrochiMika]

Took me a while to get past those falling stairs and flying platforms

[HackTh3Planet]

man this game is so hard.

[highwind99]

This game is considerable easy already,by far i think cv3 was the hardest to me.

[rickg22]

If you collect ALL the hearts on this stage (including those at the bridge), you can successfully reach the desired 99 hearts count. Ah, memories :)

[elcapitano1st]

Здорово!

[phoen99rising]

The theme @ the beginning is my favorite on the game!

[rxqueenzombiekiller]

VAMPIRE KILLER!!!

:D

[animeasskicker]

Damn, you went through that part pretty quickly.

[perdedoronline]

i could never beat this stage!

[Tabuu101]

Do any of you know where i can download the rom for castlevania chronicals for the psx

[BeholdMyStrength]

Not a clue.

[ekgjwejfopjp]

very skillfully done. i could never beat this stage.

[Sindrom11]

Ah the heart pumping race to reach the top of the tower unscathed, simply brilliant variation in gameplay. Many a time i have missed the stairs at 1.20, although i could have sworn my finger was on the upwards arrow of the D-Pad. I blame myself as the controls are exceptionally fluent!

I was alarmed and admire your recklessness, you could have easily fallen off the screen at the last platform jump to reach the top, specifically at 2:29.

[Markell1991]

Why do you have to wait until the end of the game to hear the good music?!

[ColonelFatso]

Because the rest of the music in the game kicks ass too.

[kungfufluff]

thank god of no upskirting Simon

[Skibicks123]

the music in this game is amazing!

[Sabakutais0]

This level is a pain in the ass..the steps that fall,the damn wheel of death on the bottom that comes up after you,and the moving platforms..i hated this level..

But thanks for upping it,good quality and you got skills my friend. =]

[BeholdMyStrength]

Thanks! But even with all the hard parts in this level..the music makes up for any bad feelings I have towards it!..lol

[Aeryos]

aaaa this song is "vampire killer" right?

This version is my favorite of all castlevania.....It last only 1:14 that's a shame.

And again you played very well

[BeholdMyStrength]

Thanks, and yes the song at the very start of the level is Vampire Killer, then when your climbing those falling steps trying to avoid the "Spiked Wheel'O Death, the song is Beginning, and the music for the mini-bosses I believe is called "Room of Close Associates"!

[bowserknight]

Could you tell me if it's normal that the vids take so much time to upload? I just uploaded a vid of Dawn of Sorrow and it took almost 3 hours!

[BeholdMyStrength]

It all depends on the size.....and your connection speed. Slower connection speed and larger file size increase the time needed to upload. Connection speed can be changed easily, but you can adjust the file size by editing your videos in Windows Movie Maker! Hope that helps you a bit.

[gunsinc]

dam and i thought i was good

[vikki23]

this was the hardest level for me! and you just hopped along like it was nothing! bravo!

[BeholdMyStrength]

lol thanks....this level used to give me major problems...mostly those stupid floating platforms....but after practice...and I mean lots of practice, I finally got the hang of it!

[strider975]

I love how they chose to play the NES Castlevania themes!:D

[diablo888]

yeah, and they saved them up for final level ;)

[BeholdMyStrength]

This game was truely one of the best, and having some of the most epic music during the final 2 stages helped out a lot!

[ryono]

i have vampire killer as my ringtone :)

[Xejomul]

lol i still play it on the computer when im in class hahaha

[BeholdMyStrength]

yea, I wish I had iton my computer when I was back in school!!!

[Xejomul]

My teachers be thinking i be typing wat he be saying but he doesnt know is that im beating the shit out of Dracula lol

[doomster706]

@Xejomul same here!

[Xejomul]

Man this stage was so hard for me, it took me hours to pass this stage, and when i did my heart was beating fast as hell, but u make it look so easy *bows head* "im not worthy"

[BeholdMyStrength]

haha, thx man! But what you see is the result of year and years of practice!!..lol, this game came out when I was 5 and I've been playin ever since...but who can blame me for being addicted to this awesome game!?!?!

[Ryosuke1208]

Nice, brings old memories good to hear those songs again hehe =)
