The most shameful part is that Battle of the Holy is Christopher Belmont's theme. Instead of using this, they opted for John Morris's theme for stage 1. Shame!
A truly underrated piece of classic Castlevania music. "Castlevania the Adventure" was actually my first CV game as a kid, so this song holds a special place in my heart. Wish the Rebirth game used it, instead of commonly reused themes from other CV games.
agreed. It'd be like releasing a SCIV remake without Simon's theme. Or including Simon AT ALL without using his theme. Christopher is less popular, so fuck him, I guess.
The way how Christopher is underrated disgusts me! He deserves the same love that every other Belmont, and even more. Castlevania animation team recently said that they want to cover more Belmonts in their series, and who else other comes after Trevor, other than Christopher himself!
Simon did as well, but in his case he killed Dracula, then resurrected him and killed his wrath. Christopher defeated Dracula, but didn't kill him after 15 years later.
Well, that's because, by the way, they decided not to put it in the game, although it would have been better if Konami put it on the sound test part along with the whole soundtrack.
If this were, in fact, used in ReBirth, I can say with confidence that I would most likely be used in place of "Riddle" for Dracula's hidden third form in the final battle. If not there, then probably the pre-final-battle entrance to Dracula's Keep.
Personally I would've liked it for the first stage music. Reincarnated Soul is great and all but don't you think this would've been a better way to kick off the remake of the game this song is from?
@@Chernobog2 Since Battle of the Holy is Christopher Belmont's theme, it's a no-brainer that this should have been the Stage 1 theme in accordance with the Castlevania tradition that the Stage 1 theme usually being the character's theme, or in some instances the LAST stage (Leon Belmont, Shanoa, etc).
@S5A(17) 馮曉逸 FUNG HIU YAT Eh... true, but with how climatic this sounds, I feel like it would undermine the rest of the soundtrack in the game. I mean, they essentially did the same thing with Vampire Killer in the Castle Keep before the battle with Dracula, yeah? In this case, it makes sense to save the best for last, in my eyes. Just because one track was used in the first stage of its original iteration, that doesn't mean it should be used in the first stage of its rebirth, especially given the composition. If it sounded a little less epic, then sure, it could be used at the beginning.
The reason it reminds you of TMNT is because the instrumentals in this game was intentionally mimicking the sound engine of Konami's games from back in the '90s. Both TMNT games and Castlevania were produced by Konami.
This is the beet Castlevania OST (rendition) I’ve ever heard...On a game that was not as great as it could’ve been (fixed in sequel but without the same quality of musical composition).
Que haya bro, en efecto solo lo extendí en su momento, también me parece super épico y creo que era la única forma ya que no había ninguna versión extendida.
Battle of the Holy?! More like "Battle of the Holy FUCK, why wasn't this used?!"
It's especially upsetting for me as Battle of the Holy is my favorite Castlevania song
Especially considering this is the actual track used in the original GB release for the first stage.
The theme song of the hero that inspired Simon Belmont to become the legend he is today - Christopher.
Ironic that the only song from the original Adventure went unused. It's a shame too, this song rocks
The most shameful part is that Battle of the Holy is Christopher Belmont's theme. Instead of using this, they opted for John Morris's theme for stage 1. Shame!
This song’s omission is what kept me from purchasing the game.
I mean you can still hack a Wii to play it
Christopher Belmont has an awesome theme!
@@Garthantula Too bad, rebirth is awesome besides of that.
This is Castlevania's most underrated song. I wish it was used more in their games.
Believe me...
Clearly this song deserved more presence in Castlevania franchise.

none of the songs in Rebirth are commonly reused
all of the songs only reappeared up to 2 times
@@stuff5499Vampire Killer?
Still cannot get over the fact that they did not use this incredible track.
agreed. It'd be like releasing a SCIV remake without Simon's theme. Or including Simon AT ALL without using his theme. Christopher is less popular, so fuck him, I guess.
Same.
There's no way they could have included this in Rebirth. It's too dangerously catchy. I'd be boogieing down too much to play the game.
Damn those orchestra hits take me back. Konami LOVED those throughout the early 90’s.
Especially on TMNT
Unused.
Holy Fucking Goddamn Unused.
This song makes me wanna do the Belmont strut really slowly
This is a contender for the greatest video game ost of all time
The little Castlevania that could.
I'm here in a little bit of Turtles sneaking in
Christopher Belmont!
this soundfont is absolutely godlike
The way how Christopher is underrated disgusts me! He deserves the same love that every other Belmont, and even more. Castlevania animation team recently said that they want to cover more Belmonts in their series, and who else other comes after Trevor, other than Christopher himself!
I agree. It's truly a shame that he's EXTREMELY underused. Hell, I bet that he's arguably MORE underused than the first Belmont himself
Trevor and Richter have got best stories, but Simon is most famous.
Well that was a fucking lie, they skipped two of them.
Sonia Belmont?
I'll never forgive Konami for not using this dude it's so fucking good
This should’ve been in Smash Ultimate.
Now _that_ would've been nice.
IKR
Christopher Belmont deserves far more recognition. He defeated Dracula twice! And is CANON!! 😎
Simon did as well, but in his case he killed Dracula, then resurrected him and killed his wrath.
Christopher defeated Dracula, but didn't kill him after 15 years later.
@Master D Simon is the son of Soleiyou, the son of Cris, technically was the same thing that his grandfather did in the past
This is what happens when you add reverb to a Genesis/Mega Drive like theme
dam i want the notes to that arpeggio in the background at 0:37
Oh my god, this is... exquisite...
Thank you men! I was wondering why no one bother to make an extended version of this track! (including myself) XD
I wonder the same thing, I think it's because people are not very interested or do not know castlevania
+TheMugen1234 Yeah, and most important, why the hell is this track "unused"?
perhaps it is extra content
Algenis Santana Just loop the video.
How the fuck was this unused?! Just as good (if not better) than the original.
If I was a girl this song would get me pregnant.
Well, that's because, by the way, they decided not to put it in the game, although it would have been better if Konami put it on the sound test part along with the whole soundtrack.
Thanks for the completely obvious and uninformative answer.
It was released on some CD album as an afterthought.
Ah, right on. Such a good track.
Well I guess the male equivalent is getting laid 100 times than getting pregnant if you’re a female...

For the battle against Dracula's final form, I would've used Big Battle from Castlevania III.
@@Chernobog2 Absolutely.

Is not a "UNUSED" song like the others think, is just a bonus track from the ost album
Sorry if my english is bad
Thank you Jesus
Jesus: no problem
Thank you Christ-...
...-opher
This song makes me want to break down and bust the sickest dance moves like it's the end of the frickin worldddddddddddd
This is the most second hand embarrassment I have ever received from a UA-cam comment in my life.
lol
This has "Turtles in Time" written all over it.
It really really does. That "whupwhupwhup" noise is like *_the_* signifying part of the TMNTTiT soundtrack, and it's all over this.
more like hyperstone heist
That sound it's called "Orchestra hit"
Dawn Dashi More like Sunset Riders.

If they used this song, the game would be a classic.
Is it me or does it sound like it was made by the same tech for the genesis
this song makes use of FM synthesis using a Yamaha soundchip similar to the Genesis, so it's no wonder it has a very similar sound to the Genesis.
@8bit NES Cutscene
also used a Yamaha FM chip
Do you mean the badass Belmont theme?
Battle of the Holy needs a Caatlevania REBIRTH in a BIG WAY.
One of my all time favs still!
I'm happy they realized that this song needed a faster tempo.
I love this ost
Invaluable
accurate.
i heard this song in invictus (the kaizo mario game) and they kinda went off with this song ngl
so fkn catchy
This should’ve been the boss theme for the game.
Es bellísimo....
Thanks Twitter
And here I am once again after 2 years of my last comment in this video, still awesome! Thanks @TheMugen1234
This is the beet Castlevania OST (rendition) I’ve ever heard...On a game that was not as great as it could’ve been (fixed in sequel but without the same quality of musical composition).
Love it!
Es bellisimo mi broder !!! hahah no sabia ke tu hiciste este arrangment.un perfecto homenaje a la saga ke mas amo
Que haya bro, en efecto solo lo extendí en su momento, también me parece super épico y creo que era la única forma ya que no había ninguna versión extendida.
The last good Castlevania game
Well, they made a new good Castlevania game.
All I hear is COWABUNGA!! PIZZA TIME! SEWER SURFIN' BURY MY SHELL AT WOUNDED KNEE, etc
You are stupid...
Very good!!!!
who cook this poulet
awesome song its christopher belmont
More like Strut of the Holy
Definitely one for Smash 5.
Sounds kinda "LET'S ATTACK AGGRESSIVELY!" to me.
かっけー！
Castlrvania rebirth ost
gameplay ua-cam.com/video/XI9o5UvQTlU/v-deo.html
They could have easily used this in the fight against Drac's second form. Missed opportunity.
should've used this instead of the crap Aquarius remix
I heard the Undertale Dog barking
I just realized Undertale's release is closer to Castlevania ReBirth than it is to today. I feel old.
The one on the original Gameboy was better, you should look it up
Disagree
How in the fuck did they not put this in Rebirth...
