Super Castlevania 4 Stage B

(Castlevania 4: Stage B-Bridge and Stairs to Castle Keep)
This level would hav been so much cooler without the terrible (BUTCHERED) Castlevania theme. Other than that it's a pretty exceptional level. It's probably the hardest last stage I've encountered in Castlevania other than the arcade (Haunted Castle) Castlevania in all the series. What's with recent Castlevanias? They just don't measure up in the sense of "last levels".
This stage has it all. Headless pirates, Crumbling bridge, falling stairs and instant-kill spikes! I like the touch of clouds in the higher areas.
The coolest praart is the three bosses that guard Dracula. First you face off against a skeleton creature called, Slogra, that has a spear he attempts to stab you with. That is until you deliver enough damage and he begins to unleash his claws on you.
The second is a gargoyle that attacks you with fireballs, and spikes that come down from the ceiling. He's fairly easy though.
The third is the Grim Reaper who dishes out the usual, the mini-scythes. Although it's a far cry from the difficulty in the first game, he still can pose a problem.
And finally is Dracula. I found this a bit of a disapointment for the end of this game. He's particurally easy, but can cheap you out if you let him.

castlevania 1 has a glitch issue where after death it freezes im talkin the game i had that happen in two identical nes castlevania games with no game genie

@neil54life Weird.

My cartridge never does that.

@ddunnpsyd and yes, Death was an absolute BITCH, he killed me more than the other two bosses put together until I figured his pattern out. Once I did, it was all easy street.

[IcedEarthaholic]

@ddunnpsyd ha ha, Gabon (that was the gargoyle's name) was not easy, what was cool was that you fought Slogra and Gabon as bosses in Symphony of the Night, and normal creatures later on. But I agree for the most part, the boses in this part were a major pain in the ass. But the music was epic and scary at times.

The Gear Wheel stage isn't really too bad, but the three bosses in a row were pain when I used to play this as a kid. It was probably one of the only parts I really struggled to get through. Usually I could handle the 1st, but the 2nd would demolish me. Death as the 3rd is no picnic either. The music here though is absolutely amazing and shows the series at its best ever.

@Laveticus Oh, eh.

[Laveticus]

@KedViper I think you just explained what I don't like about it. lol

[KedViper]

@Laveticus What do you not like about it? I find it rather silly receiving health in the middle of a boss battle, against Dracula no less. Moreover, it even lacks a second form. How anticlimactic is that?

[wolfdemexico]

That one jump you have to make while running from the spinning blade of death is such a bitch to me, any tips on how to make it everytime?

This game is so epic, the best Castlevania game made if you ask me. The castle stages are really tough but it wouldn't be Castlevania without some extreme castle levels
