Played this game in the summer all night studying every final bosses pattern & when I finally made it to Dracula, walking down that hall while the torches lit sent chills down my spine. Good times.
The music leading up to the fight with Dracula, and then during the fight, how it changes to Simon's theme when you are close to the end, is EPIC. Damn, I forgot how good video games once were.
the music leading to dracula when those blocks fall that sounded eerily epic, sound totally haunting, alot of.effort went into.this game, i love.castlevania music
@@Kryptic1046 It's funny to think of how Richter actually played in Rondo, you'd think the Symphony re-telling was him hamming up how agile he was pretending he had super jump attacks, dash attacks and actually *running.*
The first time I passed this game, and the ending felt so nostalgic. So many nights (learned my lesson, play it on daytime) spent trying to pass all stages finally came down to it.
@@michadrzymaa2206 oooh Yea!!!! I went 3 days with a sore thumb, trying to kill him while my good friend Simon somehow had an infinite amount of lives, and always resurrected way faster than Dracula.
Dracula dies @ 5:25 quote "Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are battling with him in his court, lest your accuser hand you over to the lower judges, and the judges to the keeper of hell, and you be put away " .destroy or be destroyed.
Simon should have been the final belmont to finish dracula for good. Because his games are just epic and plus he is the one to use the whip in 8 different directions.
To be fair, we never saw Julius in his prime, when he finished off Dracula for good. We only saw him when he was in his late 50s, amd even then he was very powerful. Maybe his quest was even more epic that Simon's and he was also capable of whipping in any direction, we will never know because the game about Demon Castle War of 1999 never got made.
@@earlfloyd4076 Castlevania 1999 is the game they talking about in Dawn of Sorrow and Aria of Sorrow, where Julius Belmont finally put an end of Draculas resurrections along with the castle. But it cost him his memories and bunch of other stuff. So it's a game that was never made before Konami pulled all game development and started to make slot machines instead. No one truly knows what happen more than they managed to separate Draculas soul from everything.
Ahh the great ole fight with Dracula. Love when you get Dracula angry. It always makes me laugh. I remember when I first encountered that. Great gaming memory.
i love this game and i replayed it alot when i was a child especially the boss fights at the end (all hail to the right passwords) 6:27 worth to note that their are invisible blocks in the bottom left corner, if you go there you receive all bonus items max iirc
I remember when this game first came out I watched my friend play it nonstop until we had beaten the game. It took him so long to beat this final boss, it was a real challenge. Such a memorable fight though with amazing music. Man.. he made that Death fight look easy. God seeing that final screen with the castle crumbling was a humbling moment after finally beating this game.
I remember watching a friend play this from start to end. When I saw Dracula I was "dude! Why the red hair?" Then when Dracula got destroyed there was this final bat trying to bite at simon's feet before falling over. Still a great game though
The best Castlevania. One thing I love these boss fights is the first three here then facing Dracula is like taking out the Elite Four, then face the Champion, in Pokémon.
Wow, the sub-bosses were wrecked so easily that I feel like I must have been playing with each hand on the wrong side of the controller whenever I played.. I remember Slogra and Death in particular being a huge pain in the ass.
For me it was Slogra, who was the hardest. Harder than every other boss including his grand pappy, Dracula himself. I used to get sore thumbs on the SNES controller from trying to kick his butt.
Playing this for the first time was super painful, those spikes at the ceiling just before fighting the first boss...they just added salt to the injury
I still don't get how he killed Slogra without getting hit. Those lunges are nearly impossible to avoid. I guess it's a matter of timing your jumps during the second phase.
+Shadowserg I've fought Slogra a bunch of times, and one thing I discovered is that he occasionally CHARGES YOU IN HIS FIRST PHASE. You know, like how he lunges with his beak, only he uses his lance instead. Obviously, ducking isn't going to help you there. Maybe I was doing something special to provoke him, but if it's random, that means a bit of bad luck could ruin a no-damage run. I really hope this isn't the case. Slogra is one of my favorite bosses in the entire series, and would ruin it for me if the fight was luck-based.
Connor Hoins and with the best playability with the directional and free whip that made the next castlevania ( before symphony of the night) awfull, example rondo of blood and the limp ritcher that makes maria renard superior to him
To be fair, the original Rondo of Blood came before Castlevania 4. The SNES port might've come later, but it's a port of an older, more polished game that deserves a lot more respect than what it gets. Also, Castlevania 4 was originally intended as a remake but it was far too different from the original Castlevania and was instead localised as a sequel to Simon's quest. Canonically that means this is a follow-up to Castlevania 2.
@@whitesonicex ok so this is a 2 year old comment so maybe soemthing changed but this game is a reimagining of the original castlevania with different levels but the same story much like rondo and dracula x but like those games only one is canon due to story changes but due to the lack of story changes 1 and super 4 are replacable and you decide which you want to be canon despite this being my second favourite castlevania (behind rondo, i've never played symphony) I prefer putting the original as the canon game.
Fact: If you look closely at the start of B-2 around 0:43, there's this spiked ring that Rove's around. If you take too long in any part of that area, it will rise up, moving back and forth, to try to hit you. If you get hit by it, you die and have to start the stage over.
Second best, its cheap deaths (like hidden avid drops behind UI elements etc) et muddled graphics only gets it a silver medal against THE best 2D Castlevania game ever : Castlevania Bloodlines.
@@plastique45 - I personally find Rondo of Blood to be the best 2D Castlevania. There's so many good ones though and a valid argument could be made for a number of them.
Nice background audio believe that song is called Smooth Operator..of course that may have been the audio my mind played as i watched you work! Well done d>_0b
DEATH: "BELMONT! Have a taste of my Flying Sickle Attack! There's no way you could possibly avoid all of these Flying Sickles! Muahahahahaha!" SIMON: "But, what if I hold my whip in the air?" DEATH: "D'oh!" TWO MINUTES LATEAE: DRACULA: "BELMONT! Have a taste of my Flying Magical Balls! They shoot smaller balls in a 360 degree spray if you whip them! So, you will die, now! Muahahahahaha!" SIMON: "Umm...your Flying Magical Balls turning into chicken. Hmm...maybe I SHOULDN'T eat chicken which came from Flying Magical Balls which my biggest enemy just summoned; because, that chicken is obviously magically poisoned. Oh...nevermind, it actually healed me." DRACULA: "D'oh!"
Just some cool, pre-fight dialogue ideas I came up with. Narrator: "Dracula watched Simon's progress with growing unease. The Belmont had faced incredible challenges, as well as the strongest evils the Count could muster, but nothing would hinder him. Simon was so determined in his quest that he would not take the time to rest even after the most exhausting of tasks. Now, as the stoic Belmont marched towards the Count's throne room, while dawn approached just as quickly, Dracula realized that something needed to be done." Dracula: "Death, I require your aid once again! The Belmont threatens everything I have worked for so far. You must end him at all costs. He cannot be allowed to continue!" Death: "Yes, my lord. It shall be done. Slogra! Gaibon! This Belmont must perish!" Shortly after, Simon reaches the Hall of Close Associates (the boss rush hall) and is confronted by Slogra. Simon: "Do not attempt to stop me, beast. I have slain far stronger creatures than you." Slogra: "I'm sure you have, Belmont. However, you'll still find me to be more than enough of a challenge, even for someone of your abilities. My speed is unparalleled, and I have mastered the art of melee combat. But enough mindless prattle, let our skills speak for themselves!" Later, before the fight with Gaibon: Simon: "You cannot hope to defeat me, creature. Much stronger foes have tried and failed." Gaibon: "Prideful and arrogant, just like those who came before you. Do not be so quick to dismiss those who you presume to be beneath you. I may not appear powerful or dangerous, but looks can easily deceive. Someday, such hubris will be your downfall!" And finally, just before the fight against Death himself. Simon: "Don't bother attempting to intimidate me. I fear Death no more than I fear any other evil in this castle." Death: "Ah, Belmonts. So unafraid of the concept of their own mortality - right until the very end. All mortal 'heroes' eventually meet their demise, what makes you any different? You fight over the course of centuries to defeat a foe who is unkillable in an endurance race you can never win. Even if you best me now, you will still end up under my control, sooner or later. However, I can tell that you are not the kind of person to give up even under impossible odds. In that case, Belmont, I welcome you. Come! Join me - as we dance the waltz of your demise."
Subweapons? 😂😂😂😂 I like that!! Good walkthrough. I always liked playing the grim reaper and then beating him. This music is still just as suspenseful as 30 years ago!
@sukotsutoclone2, I don't think Simon had the energy. First of all he is wearing armor, so he has to carry extra weight. Second this is the last stage, so all of that crap you had to do to get to this point must have made Simon tired. Third, Simon doesn't get to rest. When you beat a stage, you get the orb, it goes to the map screen, and now Simon has to go through another stage.
One of the best Caslevania games if not the best and definitely the darkest version. Wish Kanami could bring this same style and feel of Castlevania game to the PS5 but in 3D
One Time I was playing this stage in class, it was nearly the end of the school year, so the teacher didn't really care what we were doing. I got through most of stage B, and beat the first boss in the boss rush, and then one of my friends started watching me play. As he watched me, I killed that boss and got through death. When I got to Dracula, Another friend started watching me. The two watched me as I fought through his 1st and 2ndphases. I also had the music on, so when I got to the third phase, and theme of Simon Belmont started playing. When the beat dropped on that song, every single boy in the class was huddled around my computer as I killed his final form and tea bagged on the last bat.
The second Stage, the first boss and Drácula were a truly pain in my ASS. I want to hear someone says this game is easy, because I will retalaite back and tell you MY experience!
I played this on the castlevania anniversary collection and the only way I could beat dracula was by using savestates at the lightning bit, if I didnt use savestates it would have taken me weeks
Symphony of the Night is actually the 4th game, the true Castlevania 4 if you will, in the series. If you think about it... IV or 4 here on SNES/SFC, is a remake of Castlevania 1. 2 on nes is an extension, also starring Simon from CV1. CV3, or Akumajo Densetsu, is the 3rd game, but, it's a prequel. The main Belmont in that game is Trevor, an ancestor of Simons. In Rondo of Blood, the once Japanese exclusive, that latef came to America on PSP, that games main character, Richter Belmont, is a future Belmont after Simon. In Symphony of the Night, or Dracula X Nocturne in the Moonlight (Rondo of blood is called Dracula X in Japan), Richter is the main character, with a young Maria, that you can only unlock as playable after saving her. In Symphony, the game stars Alucard, playable in Castlevania 3. I make this comment for a large audience so they dont have to research it all to understand. I also write/ wrote this, so , I could confirm for myself, whether or not I was indeed the first person to call Castlevania Symphony of the Night, the true Castlevania 4.
Man, that’s some BULL. SHIT. right there. All those times I lost to Death and all you have to do is stand in one spot and hold the whip vertical. I’m so pissed right now lol
I feel that the final phase of the Dracula fight could've been more insane like the skulls appear while he's shooting lightning or he does what he did in the first part where he shot those fire balls that split into other fire balls when hit with the lightning.
_”Remember the time you said Apothecary Weight, and da…”_ _”haha.. Yah yah.”_ _”Da…Yah”_ _”A’ha yah.”_ _”Yaaaah… Daah…”_ _”haHA-“_ _”Meet me Upstairs!”_
That was amazing. I literally just beat the game...I know, I'm a late-comer. And, I was in high school when this came out, so guess I was busy at the time. That Slogra boss was quite demanding...still don't know he avoided the nose poke...it was almost like he was controlling the boss too😜
One of my favorite Dracula fight. Once Simon's theme kicks in it become so badass.
Played this game in the summer all night studying every final bosses pattern & when I finally made it to Dracula, walking down that hall while the torches lit sent chills down my spine. Good times.

@@lokadttok5045 It's the other way around, pal. The music is from this game and Lumpy just chosed that song because it fitted Gorefield
@@lokadttok5045 Rude, dude
I couldn't agree more. When the game changes the music like that it makes wanna bring that big dick energy to the next level
The music leading up to the fight with Dracula, and then during the fight, how it changes to Simon's theme when you are close to the end, is EPIC. Damn, I forgot how good video games once were.
Yeah. Sadly you need to pass through bullshit level design created specifically to get easy player deaths.
The best part of the whole game
the music leading to dracula when those blocks fall that sounded eerily epic, sound totally haunting, alot of.effort went into.this game, i love.castlevania music
Hell yea!!! The music on this cartridge classic ‘vania will never fade from history.
That IS an awesome moment! And when all of the torches start to light up as you walk by them, and the music changes? Awesome!
Definitely.
You are right, nearly 30 levels made in the game
Bridge falling down? A Belmont does not run for his life; he walks!
Yeah, weird. Well... Video game logic.
Except Richter. He dashes or slides tf up out of wherever he is like a crack addict.
@@Kryptic1046 It's funny to think of how Richter actually played in Rondo, you'd think the Symphony re-telling was him hamming up how agile he was pretending he had super jump attacks, dash attacks and actually *running.*
@@UltimaKeyMaster - Lol Yeah.
"Gather 'round kids, I'm gonna tell you the story about the time your ol' dad Richter stormed Dracula's castle..."
You can tell by his physic He doesn't like cardio.
No better feeling than getting to an end of a Castlevania game and finally hearing Vampire Killer again.
The first time I passed this game, and the ending felt so nostalgic. So many nights (learned my lesson, play it on daytime) spent trying to pass all stages finally came down to it.
In a few words:
Proving yourself the true master of Death never felt so easy, or so cheesy.
Amazing. No TAS... No cheats. This is cool...
0:48
That stage was a COMPLETE nightmare for me
@RealCapo88 that was hard but me opinion that frist boos was a dick death too
I know your feeling
Thing is, that spiked ring thing you see at the start catches up to you if you're not fast enough and insta-kills you. :/
@@michadrzymaa2206 oooh Yea!!!! I went 3 days with a sore thumb, trying to kill him while my good friend Simon somehow had an infinite amount of lives, and always resurrected way faster than Dracula.
I just beat this game like 2 days ago this stage is a castlevania 3 stage in disguise
Funny fact : at Death's death - timer goes 666
Man, it's hard to believe this game is over 30 years old...
Yeah, this guy will never get old...
what a treat this was. thanks for posting more Super Castlevania 4! best one in the series IMO.

Simon is the most powerful Belmont with the vampire killer. Julius only is good with magic and broken sub weapons.
Each Belmont that weilds the Vampire Killer, are said to be significantly stronger from the previous weilder.
Even Castlevania showed Simon some respect by auto lighting the flame fixtures to illuminate his path to the highest floor.
This castle is a creature of chaos. It can take many incarnations...including one of respect.
God the ost in this game is fantastic
If Castlevania 1999 ever happens, I hope it's more atmospheric like Super Castlevania IV!
Whats that?

6:27 worth to note that their are invisible blocks in the bottom left corner, if you go there you receive all bonus items max iirc
if you look at 6:04 minutes, beat in the second DEATH 666 o.O
Lol that's true XD
O the Timer is 666 lol.
E A ÚLTIMA FASE COMEÇA COM O TEMPO DE 999 👻
Death got the evil back on him.

Such a classic game.
You killed Death right as the timer hit 666, that’s badass!
I still don't get how he killed Slogra without getting hit. Those lunges are nearly impossible to avoid.
I guess it's a matter of timing your jumps during the second phase.
+Peter Davis Yes, the timing is very tricky, but it's possible to avoid. Very hard boss.
+Shadowserg I've fought Slogra a bunch of times, and one thing I discovered is that he occasionally CHARGES YOU IN HIS FIRST PHASE. You know, like how he lunges with his beak, only he uses his lance instead.
Obviously, ducking isn't going to help you there.
Maybe I was doing something special to provoke him, but if it's random, that means a bit of bad luck could ruin a no-damage run.
I really hope this isn't the case. Slogra is one of my favorite bosses in the entire series, and would ruin it for me if the fight was luck-based.
My guess is jumping as soon, 1 pixel before he lands on the ground, and repeatedly do that, hoping to god that he dies.
I think he charges you if you try to attack him while he still is in his invulnerability frames.
it is possible though, but with very precise actions
this wasnt just a game. it was an experience and a journey
6:41 I think the Terminator brings to future to fig ... ops Dracula ...
OMG gameplay and BGM of Castlevania are the best combo,you see this and you wanna play right now men.Shadow you are the best bro.

If you jump, you can hit Death more often when he does that scythe throw. But then, you're obviously doing the safest strategies.
One Time I was playing this stage in class, it was nearly the end of the school year, so the teacher didn't really care what we were doing. I got through most of stage B, and beat the first boss in the boss rush,
and then one of my friends started watching me play. As he watched me, I killed that boss and got through death. When I got to Dracula,
Another friend started watching me. The two watched me as I fought through his 1st and 2ndphases. I also had the music on, so when I got to the third phase,
and theme of Simon Belmont started playing. When the beat dropped on that song, every single boy in the class was huddled around my computer as I killed his final form and tea bagged on the last bat.
At 6:28, if you jump far enough in the hole, you will hit an invisible platform. Go to the end of this invisible platform and you'll get some bonus =)
Specifically you get
99 hearts
Cross sub weapon
Double(which gets canceled put for next thing)
Triple

There are far worse things...... Awaiting Man...... than Death.
What is a man?
A miserable pile of secrets!
Symphony of the Night is actually the 4th game, the true Castlevania 4 if you will, in the series.
If you think about it... IV or 4 here on SNES/SFC, is a remake of Castlevania 1. 2 on nes is an extension, also starring Simon from CV1. CV3, or Akumajo Densetsu, is the 3rd game, but, it's a prequel. The main Belmont in that game is Trevor, an ancestor of Simons.
In Rondo of Blood, the once Japanese exclusive, that latef came to America on PSP, that games main character, Richter Belmont, is a future Belmont after Simon.
In Symphony of the Night, or Dracula X Nocturne in the Moonlight (Rondo of blood is called Dracula X in Japan), Richter is the main character, with a young Maria, that you can only unlock as playable after saving her.
In Symphony, the game stars Alucard, playable in Castlevania 3.
I make this comment for a large audience so they dont have to research it all to understand.
I also write/ wrote this, so , I could confirm for myself, whether or not I was indeed the first person to call Castlevania Symphony of the Night, the true Castlevania 4.
Man, that’s some BULL. SHIT. right there. All those times I lost to Death and all you have to do is stand in one spot and hold the whip vertical. I’m so pissed right now lol
I feel that the final phase of the Dracula fight could've been more insane like the skulls appear while he's shooting lightning or he does what he did in the first part where he shot those fire balls that split into other fire balls when hit with the lightning.
Sawblade be like: Uh.....where did Belmont go? Hey wait for me!
Personally, I don't like how short the section of Vampire Killer (the one on the beginning) tune is.
Ginger Dracula!
uffa despues de tantos años, jamas se me ocurrio hacer eso con la muerte, protegerte asi con el latigo jejeje vaya que nunca deja de aprender uno.....
Великолепное прохождение, однако встает вопрос : будет ли продолжение или это прохождение будет единственым экспериментом?
this will sound odd but I love all of the medieval drapes in draculas castle lol
I've been told this game takes place is some kind of alternate timeline.
There's a secret almost at final, before to face last boss. Do you know that? It's a invisible platform on the left down corner
The only let down for me is Dracula not having a second form....
Thanks too you i beat the game. Your awesome
I remember I could only beat Dracula by pause buffering.
Just beat the game for a second time and completely destroyed Dracula. I've definitely improved.
castlevania games had the best music.
The best moment of the game: 2:30-9:37
_”Remember the time you said Apothecary Weight, and da…”_
_”haha.. Yah yah.”_
_”Da…Yah”_
_”A’ha yah.”_
_”Yaaaah… Daah…”_
_”haHA-“_
_”Meet me Upstairs!”_
As much as I love this game, but it has the easiest Dracula fight next to Simon's Quest.
I swear this title shared the same engine and mechanics as bloodlines. First two games in the series I’ve played
That was amazing. I literally just beat the game...I know, I'm a late-comer. And, I was in high school when this came out, so guess I was busy at the time. That Slogra boss was quite demanding...still don't know he avoided the nose poke...it was almost like he was controlling the boss too😜
8:16 best moment
I wish Dracula had his 2nd monster form from the original in this, but otherwise amazing (I don't count his face changing to a skull that form).
Flawless Victory!
