  • This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/4342M
    This movie has been obsoleted by tasvideos.org/4840M
    TAS originally published on 2020-11-28
    The original Castlevania is set in the year 1691. Simon Belmont must fight his way through the castle and destroy Count Dracula.
    Challenger ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/C... ) improves the predecessor movie ( tasvideos.org/3780M ) by 00:56.19 seconds, mostly due to a recently discovered glitch which can affect the level layout.
    There is also a run of this game which destroys as little as possible ( tasvideos.org/4371M ).
    The MSX version ( tasvideos.org/2444M ) has been TASed as well!

      @DruidVorse 3 роки тому +15

      It's TAS-only, you have to spam certain inputs on certain frames in order to mess up the layout of the level.
      According to Scrimpeh:
      "The game only updates the screen every second frame, so by making the camera move only on the other frame, you can keep the level data that was in the area before around."
      "It needs 6 frames to load one complete 32 pixel column essentially, the game checks if simon moves and it has to load the next tiles. If you just stand still when the scroll engine checks if simon is moving, no tiles are loaded normally that's no problem, because simon takes 32 frames to cross a column, so it should be done after 12 frames of constant movement."
      According to Challenger: "About the stair glitch, that was done through the previous glitch.

      As far as I understand there's a bug/mechanic in the game (idk for sure) called critical hit. If you damage an enemy on the same frame you get hit it'll do massive damage. Enough to oneshot the bat and Medusa but needs a few more hits for Dracula.
      For the Mummies, overlapping enemies behave a bit weird. If you hit two enemies while they are over each other they take damage every frame.

      He manip the block respawns, This way he can force a huge Attack instance manip of damage.
      For a human unique enemy who can die with one Hit like that is THe bat. Because it has stairs and on stairs simon doesn't take knockbacks.

      From what I understand, there is a way that you can manipulate exactly which items are dropped by individual enemies if you understand the specific pattern and if they are killed only by a specific weapon at a specific time. Notice how Simon also receives the invisibility potion at opportune times as well. It's nearly impossible for a human player to calculate this in real-time... Similar to counting cards in Blackjack.

      But that was my point, in a ten minute run at 60 frames per second (and I'm assuming an NES game ran that fast), that's 36,000 frames, unless I'm failing at math as usual.

      Memory manipulation. The game runs a check on simon's whip on a specific frame, dealing damage to the enemy. If simon gets hit during that specific frame, the game bugs out and doesn't stop dealing damage until simon recovers from his stunlock. I may be wrong and maybe he's using a different strategy but that's what it looks like.

    Why collect points when you can finish the game with one life?

    Man… I know Demon Castle Dracula is a creature of chaos, ever-changing and never-resting, but this TAS takes that bit of lore just a wee bit far, don'cha think?
    Seriously, so much memory is manipulated, this feels like a _ROM hack!_
