There's nothing sweatier than a NES controller after dealing with forever respawning enemies and Castlevania stairs. Having to go almost all the way back to the start of the stage after getting to Dracula is DISGUSTING NONSENSE.

Trevor Belmont confronts the two greatest nemeses of his family: Dracula and stairs

Most memorable for its multiple backup characters, who bring a needed dose of variety to the gameplay. Combined with the password system, it's an interesting take on how to bring some more replay value to this style of platformer.

Removes the complications, which is worth it, honestly.

Absolutely nails classicvania after the travesty of the second game. The additional playable characters provide great variety in playstyles made better with multiple paths to choose from on each playthrough. While it still has some of the annoying aspects of previous games such as climbing stairs and the knockback, the level design is full of polish and it boasts some of the best boss design in the series. Not only one of the best Castlevania's but also one of the best NES games ever.

Quite enjoyable NES platforming action that takes the bones of the original but manages to add a bit more meat to it with alternative characters and whatnot.
