I always thought the texts for the middle ending and the worst ending should have been switched. The worst ending says that the curse has been lifted although Simon didn't make it, but the second half of the middle ending implies that the curse still lingers among Transylvania, which the black-and-white color in the worst ending would better illustrate. Also, "Simon couldn't survive his fatal wounds" would explain why he's not at the grave in the worst ending.
@@freshestbreath I know this comment is about 5 years old now, but this isn't actually true. The JP endings are the same as the western version endings, the only difference being some engrish and generally wrong grammar. Otherwise, it's the exact same.
By the sound of the third ending Belmont defeated Dracula and stopped him from coming back ever again but resulting in his death. While the first showed that Belmont defeated Dracula but Dracula will come back and the second ending basically showing that the world is doomed cause Belmont didn't put Dracula down permently and died from his wounds.
Simon's Quest takes place during 1698, seven years after Simon's first battle with Dracula. The years on the tombstone are almost the same as the real-life years of birth and death of Vlad III Tepes but -75 incorrectly foreshadows that Dracula was killed by Trevor Belmont (during Castlevania III, the next game after Simon's Quest, which took place during 1476, the more likely year of the real Vlad's death).
Funny enough, the next game on the timeline after this is Harmony Of Dissonance, which Juste Belmont effectively repeats Simon's efforts to collect all of Dracula's remains.
i agree,the castlevania-format of endings( "the bad end is always closer to the best end than the normal end") doesnt make sence at all in this case xD at least,there is a new hero mentioned in the bad ending,so its not a complete failure
He was a comedian who hosted the UK version of Family Feud. (Family Fortunes) For some bizarre reason, later on in the show's life, (When Monkhouse was no longer the presenter) someone answered the questioned, "Name something a vampire is scared of." with "Bob Monkhouse", which Lub Lub believes would make him the perfect Castlevania protagonist.
sorry, but I have to disagree the draining of the colour as well as the removement of Simon may be effective, I'll give you that one any day, but with a message like this, it feels better than the normal ending and yes, I'm aware of the theory, that the creators may have accidentaly swapped the text from the 2 endings, but whatever the case, I prefer the bad over the normal ending any day
Nice work buddy! I really enjoyed the "creepy bad endings" series, I hope to see many new entries as there is plenty of creepy bad endings out there!! As a veteran videogame player, I'd like to suggest you a game that features a creepy bad ending that will (not) disappoint you (despite the absence of a true backstory): "Flood" for the Amiga (Bullfrog, 1990). It has just one ending.. but I won't spoil it, see for yourself! continue..
Just found this series and I'm watching all of them. Speaking of soul crushing endings, I can only hope 999 and Suikoden II are somewhere on this list.
excellent work with thease vids sah, i really like how you talk about gameplay, and basicaly give a tutorial on how to get each ending in the games! please, do continue making thease, and while its great getting a glimpse of all thease wonderfull, old games, please, dont shy away from some of the newer ones! perhaps Dragon age (the first one) would be a good one to have a look at, considering the many different endings based on how you deal with each tier of the game
Great. By the way, you're welcome to use my new Strahl video as source material for this series, if you're interested in it for the way players are shown an arbitrarily harsh fate just for losing most of their lives on a quest that was otherwise completed the exact same way. I think your text-overlay editorials would be a good fit for Strahl's still-image-with-voiceover endings, too.
one has fallen while the other lives you cannot kill the shadows for it consumes all of us *gets up from the explosion and looks down at your dead body* "you have met with a terrible fate"
It's possible that they put the wrong text for the normal ending and worst ending. Even if they didn't, though, I can imagine the game is being ironic by calling Simon a great hero, even though he died.
There is a MOD of Castlevania II out there, made by a guy called "TheAlmightyGuru", which fixes up some of the problems of the gameplay. The story is pretty dang good I have to admit.
Although the worst ending has better words keep in mind that the grave is still open and that there is no hope this shows by the darkness so that dracula has taken over. But in the bad ending we learn that hope is with a young man. So the bad is still better from the worst. Ps. I miss this series :(
So what I took from the endings was the second one was the worst because he failed to stop the curse, the 1st/ less than 8 days ending is the next worst because Dracula is still alive, and the worst ending is the best where the deed is done and nothing is there to imply that Simon is dead other than the picture, but the other pictures don’t make sense either.
I don't know if it's true, but I've heard rumours about these incompeten translators made a mistake, and swapped the text in the 2 bad endings anyways, I still think that the bad ending is more satisfying than the 2nd, because it lets you know, that the world will always remember you plus I'd rather die in that battle, than finding out a little while later, that it was all in vain
it just occured to me, what if the worst ending is actually simon dying before he gets to collect all the relics and fight Dracula? it makes the most sense given the context of the story, but it's probably still better than if he revived Dracula and then died to him, then again the game doesn't end at 16 days...
You did another game called castlevania: harmony of dissonance, which is similar to this. In this one you collect 5 remains, the other you had to collect six, I guess one of the remains split into two? Or it's just different that way...
Actually, notice the fact that Dracula's grave is raised in the 3rd ending, like near the end of the first one. I think the ending is actually slightly sarcastic, when you consider the movement in Dracula's grave in the first. Albeit, it's not overly noticeable, but plausible and probably a shoddy job localizing the game.
Welp, since everyone is suggesting games for bad ends, how about Disgaea 2? In a game that, despite starring demons as it's main cast, isn't all that dark, the bad end (which, thankfully, you actually have to be trying to get) involves the main character getting possessed and killing and eating his siblings- this is told entirely through dialogue and sound, not descriptions. The screen is black when this happens. In the English version of the game, the sound for him eating them actually sounds
ironically, I find the "worst" ending to be better than the "normal" ending. mainly because it says that Dracula is dead forever, and will NEVER be resurrected. I'm sure Simon would be glad to have made that sacrifice to ensure humanity's salvation for all time. Might even be arguably better than the "good" ending depending on your PoV
Correct, but who says hes talking about the first fear? He could be talking about clock tower USA as its called by fans, which is a sequel to the first fear( the game you talked about) In fact, hes not really exaggerating. Just look up the endings for Clock tower USA. You'll see what he means. P.S You can play as 2 characters in clock tower USA in case your confused.
I can't help but think that they messed up with the text of the endings and put them in the wrong endings. More specifically, that the text of Endings 2 and 3 switch with each other? What does everyone else think about the ending's text being in the wrong places? Do you think that the text was put in the right endings, or should they have been put in the different endings of the game?
Aquasition1 i actually think that not only the messages are messed up but also the sort of ending i think that the neutral ending is the good ending but with the text of the bad ending or the good ending instead of the "you are dead bro" text of the neutral ending and that the good ending is the neutral.ending, because in the good ending the sun seems to.be "falling" whilst in the neutral ending the sun is still up and then the bad ending could be the night
God why those text must be so awfully slow?? Dracula would have time to ressurect, create an new castle, treathening humanity , and get killed again before the text could finish
Why would Belmont be bowing down before the grave of the person who has tried to destroy his life he should have burned him and left him with No Grave marker I'm confused
3:38 As opposed to the narrator who can't put a simple sentence to end... 4:22 Thanks, Simon! I'm growing turnips in your blood-and-sweat-soaked soil and it brings me immense happiness! My only complaint is that I don't feel induced by magic. Maybe I should try growing potatoes...
Im not sure if you've played nier but some of the endings to that game can probably be considered bad enough to be made into one of these videos. The entire game is depressing and some of the endings just don't make it any better. In fact, I believe that none of the endings are happy enough if you look closely. I'd really love to see you make a nier version of one of these if possible.
Now that I've seen the Game Grumps playthrough, when I see this, all I can think of is Dan saying "goddammit!" after not making it to the merchant on time. Spoiler alert: He didn't get the good ending.
Your game must have glitched or something? In the best ending, when it turns night, and the grave shakes, Dracula's hand emerges from the mound of earth. It didn't happen here. Weird!
In the middle ending it sounded like someone rose up to take Simon's place in the fight. Coulda been another Belmont or something? I really wouldn't say any of the endings were creepy, though clearly it's no good to go and die after winning.

0:01 what did you animate this with
What a nice enemy Simon is, to make Dracula a grave.
But, who makes the grave for Dracula in the worst ending?
@@gravity8120 simons father
@@gravity8120 Perhaps it was made at Simon's request shortly before his death?
Dracula
@@gravity8120 Trevor? Because the grave has the death in 1479 if i am not wrong this was the year where C3 events took place

That's because they were switched by mistake in the US translation.
The japanese version has the normal and bad ending texts switched.
It seems that even the Japanese version made that mistake too.
legendsoflocalization.com/did-castlevania-iis-endings-get-mixed-up/
So basically, the 2nd ending isn't even that bad in the end.
Almost better than the 1st one, since Dracula doesn't stir in his grave.
@@freshestbreath I know this comment is about 5 years old now, but this isn't actually true. The JP endings are the same as the western version endings, the only difference being some engrish and generally wrong grammar. Otherwise, it's the exact same.
The third ending has better words than the second ending. I consider the third not that bad.
By the sound of the third ending Belmont defeated Dracula and stopped him from coming back ever again but resulting in his death. While the first showed that Belmont defeated Dracula but Dracula will come back and the second ending basically showing that the world is doomed cause Belmont didn't put Dracula down permently and died from his wounds.
"1421-75"
Dracula was only 54 when Simon beat him.
(Unless that two is actually a three, then he'd only have been 44. It's a little hard to tell)
Simon's Quest takes place during 1698, seven years after Simon's first battle with Dracula. The years on the tombstone are almost the same as the real-life years of birth and death of Vlad III Tepes but -75 incorrectly foreshadows that Dracula was killed by Trevor Belmont (during Castlevania III, the next game after Simon's Quest, which took place during 1476, the more likely year of the real Vlad's death).
It's actually 1431-76 as far as I can tell
Funny enough, the next game on the timeline after this is Harmony Of Dissonance, which Juste Belmont effectively repeats Simon's efforts to collect all of Dracula's remains.
And You Have to do The Exact thing In SOTN to Get to The Final Boss Room,in the Inverted Castle
CripticBoy0075 unless you’re playing as Richter or Maria.
What i like about creepy bad endings is you actually fit a walkthrough in as well all the while attaching us to the characters of the game
He put an END to an ETERNAL darkness
Logic
well,there were other rulebending games too,so.... xD
_Not-So-Eternal darkness_
Oh my creeper yeah. Now is just an intermitent darkness
Because screw Dracula, that’s why
The emphasis you put in there makes you seem like you're quoting a Frank Miller comic.
"Transylvania's only hope is a young man who can rid it of evil"
Holy Crap, did Simon's Quest predict Richter Belmont?
Simon predicted either Juste Belmont or Julius Belmont.
@@Stephen-fi9mw Probably Juste since Harmony of Dissonance takes place after Simon's Quest, Juste being Simon's grandson
"What a horrible night to have a bad ending."
Oh, wait, never mind, I know now. You were referring to my analysis of the endings being more in-depth than in the last CBE video.
I honestly think the bad ending and normal ending should be switched.
Same
i agree,the castlevania-format of endings( "the bad end is always closer to the best end than the normal end") doesnt make sence at all in this case xD at least,there is a new hero mentioned in the bad ending,so its not a complete failure
He was a comedian who hosted the UK version of Family Feud. (Family Fortunes) For some bizarre reason, later on in the show's life, (When Monkhouse was no longer the presenter) someone answered the questioned, "Name something a vampire is scared of." with "Bob Monkhouse", which Lub Lub believes would make him the perfect Castlevania protagonist.
sorry, but I have to disagree
the draining of the colour as well as the removement of Simon may be effective, I'll give you that one any day, but with a message like this, it feels better than the normal ending
and yes, I'm aware of the theory, that the creators may have accidentaly swapped the text from the 2 endings, but whatever the case, I prefer the bad over the normal ending any day
The fight scene where Dracula started moving around I thought I was witnessing a glitch lolz
lol. 8:49 So he'll be remembered as 2x brave but nothing else.
Guess I could show it in a Creepy Bad Endings Extra video.
Anyone else wishing there was a remix of the end music? Just me? Ok then. 😂
Great video as always ^^
It's awesome how you interpretate games and stuff.
Nice work buddy! I really enjoyed the "creepy bad endings" series, I hope to see many new entries as there is plenty of creepy bad endings out there!!

continue..
Watching this series up until I fall asleep.
New sub inbound.
Gaetano Aviles same
Me too
2:20 Simon: AAAH KILL IT WITH FIRE!
man this is the best series about videogames ive ever seen
Maybe I could make that game for Lub Lub, if I had the right tools
This was one of only a few games we had when I was a kid. Night time creeped me out so much I would stand on the stairs in town till it passed.
Does anyone else think of Mario when they see the mystic flame weapon being used? Mama mia! Here we go!
More like when someone spams PK Fire before it got nerfed...
I had to look it up, but I see the correlation after even a minute of his routine. Bob Monkhouse is perfect for this job.
I actually like these endings. They bring more emotions and meaning to the endings. They leave a mark on you.
I think you will LOVE Heavy Rain...
YES! FINALLY! Thank you whoisthisgit! This series is the reason i found ur vids after all.....
Well i am old and have fond memories of this game when it came out. There was nothing like it back in the day.
Very nice new opening
Probably the earliest example of a video game where you die at the end.
Could the ending text be any slower? I started reading it out loud at the speed it appeared, which made it slightly enjoyable. ^_^
Actually it is widely believed the text was really confused in the two endings and that they should have been switched.
Dracula appears to be made of...Peaches. Dun dun DUN!
Bob Monkhouse as the Main Character of Castlevania would be pure hilarity.
Just found this series and I'm watching all of them. Speaking of soul crushing endings, I can only hope 999 and Suikoden II are somewhere on this list.
Well then, OneTrueBelmont, I hope you'll be extremely happy because 999 is now in this series! CBE #66 is calling your name!
i just think he means youre good at this, and you should continue doing it
i remember this video on my sub box like it was yesterday, but it's been five years
what the fuck
You know, killing your mortal enemy is cool. but burying him, buying/carving a headstone, and visiting his grave? Thats chill.
You know, Lub-Lub only had one friend, but he blew him up.
Castlevania is notorious for creepy bad endings >>

i love Simon's Quest but this was a great video
You should check out the worst ending to "Clarence's Big Chance"
one has fallen while the other lives you cannot kill the shadows for it consumes all of us
*gets up from the explosion and looks down at your dead body*
"you have met with a terrible fate"
Not having heard of or played this game before, am I the only one who laughed when Dracula started moving crazily? :P
"You may not know who this git is,"
7:28
happy end!
Your icon matched the comment quite well.
Oh why hello there new episode lovely to see you today.
Much better. Keep up the good work!
the dracula bodyparts return in sotn
and then he returns to the palace of power in videoland...
damnit... you made me realize that every time i played this game, i always had the worst ending and i didn't even knew it till now.. well,shit... :/
I always thought the last ending was a good one, as Simon is clearly still alive, how else can the narration address him directly.
It's possible that they put the wrong text for the normal ending and worst ending. Even if they didn't, though, I can imagine the game is being ironic by calling Simon a great hero, even though he died.
whoisthisgit
I think it's like a funeral eulogy.
Awesome as always whois.
I love this series. ^^
The music in this game was great, so was the graphics. Shame it was so hard.
You know, you REALLY should give Mr. Gimmick a try.
excellent video keep up the good work

you should do Avenging Spirit. it has two endings. one good and one bad (a really depressing one.)
I don't understand why the worst ending is the best. Everybody is happy, except Simon, of course.
Actually, notice the fact that Dracula's grave is raised in the 3rd ending, like near the end of the first one. I think the ending is actually slightly sarcastic, when you consider the movement in Dracula's grave in the first. Albeit, it's not overly noticeable, but plausible and probably a shoddy job localizing the game.
you cant kill something you don't see or know *takes shotgun and breaks it*
This should also be in creepy good endings. Way to just tell me the enemy for the next game before it even comes out.
I'd admit, by now this is the ''good'' bad endings
I heard that Castlevania 64 has alot of bad endings, and a couple creepy ones.
But Castlevania III is a prequel, Super Castlevania IV is a remake of the first game.
0:43 if im correct it was soemtime durring the second phase I guess he didn't bring enough holly water
Soundtrack is good.
This is the only time I ever saw Dracula not cheesed with fire and all he does is imitate Death itself. Is Death, Dracula?
For some reason, I am replying to this comment.

Oh please do Contra Hard Corps. that game has a lot of bad ending well three (two bad even though one is like Streets of Rage 1, and a sad ending.)
ironically, I find the "worst" ending to be better than the "normal" ending. mainly because it says that Dracula is dead forever, and will NEVER be resurrected. I'm sure Simon would be glad to have made that sacrifice to ensure humanity's salvation for all time. Might even be arguably better than the "good" ending depending on your PoV
De alguna manera recuerdo vagamente que había un final donde salía una mano saliendo del lago...
I finally had to hide my face from the video at the very last ending... I was doing so well too!
Induce Magic and happiness for those who walk on this land
wow mlp was famous beforehand
