Castlevania

Simon Belmont, heir to a famed line of vampire hunters, enters the Count’s sprawling castle to break the curse and end the rampage.

The fortress is a maze of halls, towers, catacombs, and clockworks filled with classic monsters and traps that guard the path to Dracula’s throne room.

Players guide Simon through a sequence of themed stages, each concluding with a boss encounter.

Movement emphasizes deliberate timing: jumps follow a fixed arc, stairs must be climbed to change vertical levels, and enemy hits cause knockback that can send Simon into pits or hazards.

A visible timer limits each stage, and losing all health, falling, or running out of time costs a life.

Checkpoints occur within stages, and limited continues allow progress to resume from the start of a section.

Simon’s primary weapon is the Vampire Killer whip, which strikes straight ahead.

Hitting certain candles and lanterns drops upgrades that extend the whip’s length and power.

Secondary “sub-weapons” expand combat options and consume hearts as ammunition.

These include the dagger, axe, holy water, stopwatch, and a returning boomerang-style cross.

Sub-weapons are switched by picking up a new one, encouraging players to choose tools that fit the next room’s enemies and layouts.

Resource and item management underpin the action.

Hearts, earned from candles and enemies, fuel sub-weapon use but do not restore health.

Roast meat hidden in breakable walls replenishes vitality.

Additional pickups provide temporary enhancements such as the Double Shot and Triple Shot, which let Simon throw multiple sub-weapons in quick succession, and invincibility or increased points.

Extra lives are awarded at score thresholds or by rare 1-Up items, while stage-specific hazards, such as moving platforms, collapsing bridges, and fire traps, test precision.

No market sales have been tracked yet for Castlevania, which could mean it rarely changes hands or that Gamevaro simply hasn't recorded a sale for it yet.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. These are tracked as separate market values because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
