TAS HD: NES Castlevania 3 - Dracula's Curse (JPN) "Grant path" in 28:57.55 by Samhain-Grim

Publication: http://tasvideos.org/762M.html

Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (originally known as 悪魔城伝説 or Akumajō Densetsu, meaning "Legend of the Demon Castle") is the story of Trevor Belmont's battle against Dracula from the times before Simon's battle in Castlevania. In this complex and difficult game, there are three playable allies whom Trevor can recruit: Alucard (Dracula's son), Grant DaNasty (a pirate captain), and Sypha Belnades (a mystic warlord).

This game has a technically high-quality soundtrack because it uses a VRC6 sound chip that works in the Japanese Famicom but not in the NES. Thus, the movie was made with the Japanese version of the game instead of the USA version.

This movie takes the path that recruits Grant. It is about two minutes faster than the previous version. There is also a Sypha path movie and an Alucard path movie.

Hard-hitting utility, long-ranged wall-climbing, or a mixture plus bat-tastic maneuvering. Seriously, the Japanese version had all *three* secondary characters are wickedly-useful. Over here we got...Captain Weak McShort-StabbyRange.

@Cl0taire In the Japanese version, the Throwing Knife (Dagger) is Grant's default attack. In the North American version, Konami reprogrammed Grant to make his regular attack a stabbing dagger, because Konami thought that "infinite" throwing daggers would be a cheap way to beat the game.

How do you throw knives while axe is equiped?

I love Grant's speed and skills. He is a perfect speedrun material.
