Best VGM 114 - Super Castlevania IV - The Forest of Monsters

[Satantransvertdeath]

I think they need to make a new Castlevania in the style of this game... although they would probably mess it up with motion controls.

[TheOmi3333]

This or super metroid as SNES greatest hour, disregarding mario world and zelda link to the past, oh how i love the SNES, gameplay at it's raw simplicity. Don't get games like this anymore, another cod anyone? nah thought not :p

[ericsayres]

This is one of the most well rounded soundtracks ever. There really isn't any poor songs on it.

[Th3ForgottenOne]

This game is simply AWESOME!

[galti111]

I remember when I first played this back in the day being blown away by the incredible music on stage 1 and thinking that they couldn't possibly have any tune as good as Simon Belmont's theme in the subsequent levels. I'm happy to say I was wrong!

[SolidMike84]

The Castlevania series & Legacy of Kain series:

AWESOMENESS!

[artaxis6]

Love that song

[Coldmilk51312]

I'm probably just stating the obvious.....but doesn't this theme borrow from Donkey Kong?

[PenisGrande]

@Coldmilk51312

I can't even see the similarity, aside from maybe the percussion used...but it's not like Donkey Kong is the only series that has it.

[ThrobnWood]

@Coldmilk51312 Which Donkey Kong? Donkey Kong Country came out 3 years after Super Castlevania IV..

[Bowser0324]

@Coldmilk51312

Castlevania 4 was released RIGHT after the SNES came out . Then years late DK country came , u may want to say u hear Castlevania in DK ;)

[Bowser0324]

@Coldmilk51312

Castlevania 4 was released RIGHT after the SNES came out . Then years late DK country came , u may want to say u hear Castlevania in DK ;)

and not DK in Castlevania ^^

[vampcorpse]

wheres the treasury room music? that one was epic too

[Getaro]

Oh god I love this song, the beat is strong and the melody is haunting..

I always tap my feet to it when playing!!

And whistling too..

And as I am distracted like that I die a lot in Level 2 xD

But I don't care because I get to listen to the music a bit longer then!!

[YoB1KajoeB]

If i ever become RICH, first thing im doing is buying a BIG ASS CASTLE, blasting this shit, and dancing to it....

[JKmanglerCRD]

@YoB1KajoeB Thats what im gonna do. If you get a castle first can you send me an invite. If I get one first ill put you on the guest list. HaHaHaHa.

[Getaro]

@YoB1KajoeB Oh man tell me when it's the case!! We're gonna have a BIG ASS PARTY with only Castlevania music!!

Fuck yeah!!

[frostmare11]

old school fav

[femstarlight]

Years after I first played this stage I discovered a hidden extra life behind one of the foreground pillars, when you're walking through the water section. I can't believe I was that young when I played this so much.

[sserpent21]

absolute kick ass

[wolfguard7]

it sure captured the feel of the stage

[GothicJaime]

that was a fucking good game, i miss it... T.T

[Tenshinhan007]

I used to go to options and listen to this all the time...just great.

[RandomReviewer272]

Yeah that's what I like about certain games. Whenever you don't want to play the game and just want to here the music, go to Options and play Sound Test.

Most of the time, half of out of the games in the world doesn't have one, other times you have to "Unlock" it.

[Akujitsu]

Some of the best music on the SNES is on this game. Awesome game, awesome music.

[HeavyChevyK10]

Oh how I miss these days. Now games are looking more real but with massive problems like screen tearing that ruin the experience. This was when games were fun. Now its a world full of bad ports and graphical glitches.

[MattJRo]

ohh man, wasn't this a launch title for the SNES? man this music brings me back.

I remember being a kid and inviting all of my friends over to see the medusa with the boobies. heh heh, oh the ways we had to satiate ourselves before the internet.

[agaifi]

Launch title for the SNES. And yet one of my favorite games. Maybe my favorite Castlevania.

Think about it though, few launch titles are that good.

[MattJRo]

SNES had Super Mario World, Link to the Past, Castlevania, Actraiser, and more, probably the best launch line up of any console.

I remember this because I was 8 when it came out and slaved away under my parents making the 200 that it cost back in 1991. I still have that SNES, and it still works fine to this day (the thing is 18 years old!) and I remember going to the store and looking at all the games. I had to go with Link to the Past, but Castlevania 4 was #3. Great game

[agaifi]

Whoa, they were launch titles? My bad. I knew only about SMW and Super Castlevania, I didn't know about Zelda ;o

Here in Brazil we only got up to date with Gamecube (and XBOX I guess).

[Frieza102]

Anyone else remember the warp in this stage that takes you straight to level VII?

[JackiePaquito]

Love the bass-line!

[DarkChaaxis]

I love this song! One of the best games out of this series.

[FunkyKarim93]

I like that little part of the theme : 01:21 01:28

[Stup1dSw3d1shB4D4ss]

I have played this game and this music rocks x)

[Toomnyusernae]

This song creeped me out. I still managed to beat the darn game, fun fun_^)

[Goldsac]

This game's music has an atmosphere like no other - it hits the old gothic style bang on. Very illustrative music is yummy.

[DemioneNDF]

cviv ending theme ftw lololololol

[theinsanething]

Why does the Castlevania have such an awesome selection of soundtracks?

[senelbeat]

because it is the epitomy of greatness. the games' music (except for some "underground ones") can easily be defined as epic.

[knightonlinefan]

howcome every song in castlevania 4 always had a nice beat?

[gunsinc]

all songs on this game are good but vampire killer is still the best

[wildarmsfan]

Good choice man in you top music this is a great tune i like it i am doing a top also very good.You have taste.

[Hakoshen]

This game had GREAT music. Kinda makes me wanna dig up my super NES again.

[DiegoVizia]

This is the worst Castlevania soundtrack.

If I had to choose a song from this game, I would have chosen Palace.

[LinkTetraWW]

Nice beat...

[ChibiFighter]

I thought the soundtrack for Super Castlevania was awesome really underrated tho I loved the cave music

[SupraDarky]

You can be sure the cave music will be on this list at some point. :P

[ChibiFighter]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

[smroWfonaC]

Will you upload the waterfall one immeadeatly after the caves (not the aquaducts one) and also this one's version of bloody tears?

[WardogBLacky]

I love Castlevania IV. There's only about two songs that bug me but all in all it has an AMAZING soundtrack!

[SupraDarky]

Underrated song from an amazing soundtrack. Always had a soft spot for that one, thought it really fit the mood. :P But yeah, the soundtrack as a whole was unique.
