  • This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/1220M
    TAS originally published on 2008-11-08
    Castlevania's foray onto the Genesis sees two protagonists duke it out with Dracula and his minions: John Morris and Eric Lecarde (tasvideos.org/1221M). John Morris carries the famed whip, and Eric Lecarde wields a spear.
    This run sees John Morris take on the hordes of minions. While Morris is essentially slower in movement, he is still the faster of the two due to his ability to destroy the bosses quicker than Lecarde. For more precise details, see the authors' detailed submission text.

    One of my favorite Castlevanias, I love the soundtrack, and this is definitely one of the hardest, especially the last gauntlet fights. Never watched TAS or Speedrun of this game, loved it.

      Indestructible projectiles like bombs and lasers still hurt him while he swings, found that out the hard way trying to cheese the barrel room in stage 5.

    I'm absolute SNES over Mega Drive. Games overall, and most of all sound.
    However, between this and Super Castlevania IV I say this is several levels better. The instruments and SFXes take away from it, yet the soundtrack here is amazing, while SCIV settled for atmosphere. Even visually I like the colours here. SCIV gave us Simon's theme, possibly even the best version of it, and that's it. Bloodlines gave us a proper 16 bit Castlevania experience that isn't Dracula X, along with an additional playable character.

      Those weren't that great, listenable, but not amazing.
      I had the Genesis w/Sonic, and then got a SNES; and I switched back and forth between games that I got for them. As a person who who owned both consoles of that time period, SNES had the better sound card(s).

    I LOVE seeing Castlevania runs. The series as a whole commands a deep respect from me. There are only 4 games in the entire franchise that I actively dislike. The two on N64, Haunted Castle, and Adventure 1.

    Why does John use jumping as his normal movement tech but Eric simply walks?

      John saves 4 frames for every jump

      So John DOES move faster jumping by game design. Interesting.

    • @singlereedenjoyer
      @singlereedenjoyer Před 2 lety +3

      Due to their movement speeds and jumping physics, John saves a couple of frames each jump, but Eric loses a couple each jump.

    • @Sukaiba69

      John and Eric move at the same speed in mid-air
      While, relative to the air speed, Johns' strut is slower while Eric's is faster
