In his strange castle, Dracula has been assembling a massive army of undead creatures to sweep the Earth clean of life and bring everlasting darkness.

Trevor agrees to help and equips his family's hereditary whip, the "Vampire Slayer", in order to destroy Dracula.

Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse is a side-scrolling platform game.

The gameplay is nearly identical to the first Castlevania game .

The player takes the role of Trevor Belmont who is able to move left and right, jump, attack with his whip straight ahead and use a special weapon.

These special weapons consume hearts, which can be found by defeating monsters or destroying candles.

Power-ups include: a throwing dagger, a throwing axe, A time-stopping stopwatch, a cross-shaped boomerang and a vial of holy water.

Additionally there is a double shot (II) and triple shot (III) power-up which increases the number of special weapons that can be used at one time.

Trevor is defeated if his life meter runs out, and can find a roast turkey power-up to replenish it.

Trevor progresses through each level defeating monsters and eventually encountering a boss creature.

At different points in the game the player will be able to chose between different paths, which will determine which levels are played.

At the end of certain levels, the player may encounter a companion which can be recruited.

Only one companion can accompany Trevor at any time; accepting a new companion means rejecting the existing one.

Once recruited, Trevor can change between his own form and that of the companion.

Each companion has an independent life meter and has unique abilities such as powerful magic, the ability to climb walls or flight.

These abilities may also affect the types of power-ups that app

About Nintendo Entertainment System

The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.

Gamevaro tracks Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (Improved Controls) for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (Improved Controls) to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 2017.
