I read the description and you listened to 1100 songs! That must have taken days if not weeks! And the chore of having to pick 100 of them that you thought were worthy for this list, Thank you.
I almost cried, subdue by memories and feelings I never felt before with any kind of music if not with the Castlevania saga soundtrack. Thank you kind sir for breaking down the most special ones for us, loyal fans of the genre😀
+darksymphony777 devon brautigam Maybe I would bring up some song/songs from Lament of Innocence since that game has very good soundtrack overall yet I only have few songs in the list. I brought up most of the songs I overlooked in later added #100-76 part. I guess I would now rank at least Calling from Heaven, The Pinnacle and Sorrow's Distortion higher to name a few. In Search of Secret Spell in Portrait of Ruin is a version of a song from MSX game King's Valley II.
I'm impressed with the job done in this videos, especially considering the amount of songs each game has (taking out the remakes of course) it's still a pretty big and tiring job to do. So I congratulate your passion for this game's music since this would have taken like forever to finish. Also, you're really good using gimp, that I can see. The placement of the images was just superb and well mastered, it looked professional enough so well done. I'm really sorry you couldn't add "In search of the secret spell" though I can understand your reasons. That must be one of my top favorites from both castlevania in general and POR, alongside crucifix held close and simon's theme :)
This video came out almost 10 years ago. It's crazy to think of how few Castlevania games have come out since then. The ten years preceding this video there were new, great Castlevania games coming out qlmost every year I think. Pretty depressing. Fuck Konami.
I don't think people hate it, I myself only heard good things about it before playing it and I also liked it a lot. As for this list I missed one song from CotM that should have easily been in this top 75 (I won't spoil it here)...
Watching this video brought back a lot of happy memories for me, going around whipping the shit out of anything that came withing 10 pixels of me. But there is one thing that I am confused about. Why all the hatred for Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, this is by far my favorite Castlevania; because one, it had challenge. Two, it had RPG elements to it, e.g. leveling up system, items, armor, different weapons. Three, had an exquisite array of enemies, all with different attacks. Why the hate????
I must admit that I placed it way too low. Purely musically judging it would be in top 3 I think. In this list other very underrated songs are The Pinnacle and maybe Sorrow's Distortion. These 3 songs should really be near top ten. With that being said, overall I'm still happy with this list. There are couple of songs that I somewhat overrated or underrated but mostly the list looks the way it should.
mine was the one with cards after that came aria of sorrow i found em a bit to easy but i couldnt find any games for my nes/snes so i had to use emulators and super castlevania 4 was nice and hard :D older ones are nice but newer ones draw people in
LoS soundtrack was grandiloquent (?) in a good way but none of it's songs really stood out for me when I listened it. Meanwhile there were lots of songs from other games that got stuck in my head. I respect every opinion though, this list is just entirely based on mine.
Wood carving partita n61. No matter how much hard work you've put in this, I can no longer watch it. What got into you man? Seriously? Did it trigger bad memories or what?
Wood Carving Partita should be way higher imo. Some of the earlier castlevania songs in midi were very simple and boring and they were way above this masterpiece (imo again).
Only Final Fantasy Rivals Castlevania as the best game soundtrack of all time across the entire body of work. There's not one game in the series with shit music.

Probably my favorite song in the series tbh. I think it's the best song in the series, musically. But different people have different feelings, and music taste is mostly subjective. No big deal.
Wood Carving Partita only on 61? Madness.
I LOVE Portrait of Ruin so much
Dawn of Sorrow music in a nutshell: Intense Elevator Music

this must have taken FOREVER to decide
It sure did, I would now change some positions and couple of songs at least but overall I'm happy how it turned out to be.
+Toopelius I'm curious what would you change.....and what game is in search of secret spell from

+Toopelius hmm makes sense another question would you remake these videos
+darksymphony777 In the end I'm very satisfied with this so no. Hasn't even crossed my mind actually :)
Good picks. You have a good variety of old and new songs. Can't wait for the next parts.
In my passion as a gamer I used to play some Castelvania games once in a while, but I always found the soundtracks very well in every game.
Great job. Whether my opinion of song order matches your ranking or not, awesome videos like this one are always nice to see on CZcams
Intro song is called Waltz of the lazy chair room from Curse of Darkness (if that's what you were asking).
Wood Carving Partita on 61st???? it should be at least on top 5

Opposing Bloodlines sounds much better, IMO, on the SNES port. I guess I just love all that fake slap bass and guitar stuff.
Imposible!
Dance of Pales should be around the 10's
This video came out almost 10 years ago. It's crazy to think of how few Castlevania games have come out since then. The ten years preceding this video there were new, great Castlevania games coming out qlmost every year I think. Pretty depressing. Fuck Konami.
this list is overwhelming but nice job. the composers and styles of the castlevania music is vast but it's nice to see other fans.
Calling from heaven should´ve been in the top ten!
Nice layouts. This makes the listing far more interesting.
Way to pay tribute to the series that gave us some of the greatest music ever.
Nooo sacaste el final de Wood Carving Partita mi pobre corazon
Still Love this Playlist ^^
calling from heaven is the best
Great list, looking forward to the high tier stuff.
Not sure top ten but much higher yes. I don't know how I overlooked it so much when making this list.
excelent recopilation man you are georgeous :#
It was the first Castlevania game I ever owned and beat. Personally, I was actually quite happy when it got inserted into the canon.
Great kind of music. Thanks.!
thank you for all this work shown.
This is the reason I hate Rondo of Blood. That game has an awesome soundtrack but the level design and enemy placement is sadistic to say the least.
Thanks for the kind words!
It sure did, maybe more than it should've. Thanks!
I don't think people hate it, I myself only heard good things about it before playing it and I also liked it a lot. As for this list I missed one song from CotM that should have easily been in this top 75 (I won't spoil it here)...
Hey man, this mustve taken ages to do, I really appreciate it :D
i like to listen when i'm studing . is just great ^^
excellent songs Toopelius, I honestly would choose the same songs for the same spots too. Excellent job overall! :)
Opposing Bloodlines deberia estar en el top 10
i love the font at the beginning man.

53 is called DIVINE Bloodlines, not Opposed Bloodlines. That title belongs to a remix that plays when you battle Ricther (Shaft) in SotN.
Alfonso ST No, the remix is Blood Relations. Opposing Bloodlines is the real title. It is also called Divine Bloodlines.

you´re great,man!!
Thanks for the vid
wood carving partita
wow awesome !
thanks for the vid man :)
Great! Incredible!
Love the video montage!
Nice work chief.
Thank you!
Pachislot Akumajo Dracula II. A Castlevania slot machine game.
Word of the day! I think that many modern games have that problem.
mine was the one with cards after that came aria of sorrow i found em a bit to easy but i couldnt find any games for my nes/snes so i had to use emulators and super castlevania 4 was nice and hard :D older ones are nice but newer ones draw people in
Personally, I think Rhapsody of the Forsaken should be in the top 10. It literally screams Shanoa and girl power! :D
LoS soundtrack was grandiloquent (?) in a good way but none of it's songs really stood out for me when I listened it. Meanwhile there were lots of songs from other games that got stuck in my head. I respect every opinion though, this list is just entirely based on mine.
where is House of Sacred remains ???
I agree with this list. (Iiiiif it were counted in reverse and were 50-25)
EDIT: Except Dance of Pales is still at the top.
como se llama la cancion que aparece en la intro?? ( o de q castlevania es?)
Castlevania II Belmont"s Revenge
with help from this top list music, I can search for remix or arrange music
This reminds me of my life. It seems like throughout my life I've been playing Castlevania, since I was about 5, starting with SOTN I believe.
I feel like a screen credit to Bach is in order somehow :)
Wood carving partita n61. No matter how much hard work you've put in this, I can no longer watch it. What got into you man? Seriously? Did it trigger bad memories or what?
Estan geniales
Why not a single LoS song man ill definitely put belmonts theme on my top 3 its a beautiful song
for me symphony of the night is the best of the best games \m/
Probably around 200 songs
In my opinion. Opposing bloodlines should be around the 20's
Sorry but where is Super Castlevania 4 Forest of monsters???
There is no forest? That's disappointing to me. Aquarius and new Messiah are my favorites.
how many fucking castlevania songs are there??!!
Wood Carving Partita should be way higher imo. Some of the earlier castlevania songs in midi were very simple and boring and they were way above this masterpiece (imo again).
Yes ! è_é/
In my opinion, LoI has solid soundtrack and CoD has great soundtrack. N64 Castlevania games have boring and forgivable soundtracks.
MONASTERY IS GOD
What?
Only Final Fantasy Rivals Castlevania as the best game soundtrack of all time across the entire body of work. There's not one game in the series with shit music.
You can put megaman in that list too
I would add Sonic too. Even most of the bad Sonic games have great music.
Sonic, Megaman and Zelda can I think
Wood carving partita n61. No matter how much hard work you've put in this, I can no longer watch it. What got into you man? Seriously? Did it trigger bad memories or what?
Have you ever heard the word "opinion" in your life?
Probably my favorite song in the series tbh. I think it's the best song in the series, musically. But different people have different feelings, and music taste is mostly subjective. No big deal.
