You really had to be there as a kid who was raised on Atari and NES to fully appreciate what a graphical revolution this was when it came out. It really did blow our minds
I played this game on an emulator at school so i couldnt use volume so i couldnt hear the soundtrack. Im visiting this video because i hear i missed out
This game soundtrack gives me chills. Being 16 years old in 1991 and playing this game over and over again just to be in this amazing world. Still stands up to games today with its dark mood and atmospheric gameplay.
Music at the end of the game made me tear up. I miss those days. Being an adult with all the bullshit worries and responsibilities fucking sucks compared to the day I finally beat this game. I miss it so much.
so many anon's commenting on SNES/NES/64 soundtracks & longplays share this sentiment (myself included). Simpler times. Beautiful. Just get lost in it & relive those good times when you find time to play the games you loved from these eras
I agree. I could play this on and on, amd being forever happy and sad, that games lime this existed, and will never be created, in such a beautiful manner.
+Troy Turner Yup !! even the art direction in both these games are incredible. I like that they even took enemies from Super Castlevania 4 and brought them into Symphony of the night. Same art direction. Great gothic game. Masterpiece they both are.
Incessant Wake Hell yeah, but you can control Simon's jumps in mid air and you can whip in all eight directions. And what are your thoughts on Bloodlines? I think the game is horribly underrated.
Que saudade desse jogo castelvania 4 do Super Nintendo SNES. Não vejo mais esse jogo desde do ano de 1991 quando foi lançado. Parabéns para quem postou esse game que fez parte da época da Infância e da adolescência de muita garotada daquela tempo do da década de 90.
Draculas' sense for architecture and interior design is sublime as ever, but maybe he should get rid of those old candlesticks hanging in thin air. That might slow the Belmont clan down.
When I was little I remember having trouble with the level at 14:40 that rotates 90 degrees. It took me a while to figure out that I needed to whip onto a hook and wait.
Bit of a late response, but I am playing it right now on the SNES Mini, since this was way before my time. It is still very playable today despite the game's age, it is not too late to still play it!
The music in this game should have won every type of music award possible. Some should have been created just to award this soundtrack. Epic and magical in every way.
Absolutely loved the soundtrack for this game. Watching people playing like this drives me crazy.. I'm the type that has to hit every single candle, get every single heart..
Your gameplay matches the iconic Belmont swagger strut so well. You walk as if the forces of Castlevania shiver at the thought of your mere presence, and Dracula envies your unbridled flamboyance.
This game was incredible. I remember when I first played it right after it came out. I didnt realize it was a remake then, but having Simon was enough for me. It wasnt the hardest game, but it was LONG.
One of my favoutite snes games and Castlevania games. Dude, you smashed it out. I'm rubbish at this game and never got past level 3. i need to go back and play it.
SCIV was the pinnacle of linear side-scrolling Castlevania. The the somber music and dark graphics combine to make the best atmosphere of the series. It's a game I never get bored playing.
45:12. I found myself standing in the middle of my bedroom holding my controller in my hand just like Simon is holding his whip when I first beat this game. I was heavy into this game. Spent my whole junior summer on this. Good memories.
Castlevania was always known for it's music and background. I never played this, in fact N64 castlevania (the first 3d vania) was my first and since the I've been hooked on all things castlevania and even made my way to the past to play and appreciate these older vanias.
Castlevania has been constistantly horrid since the first 3D Castlevania. I recommend you get an emulator and see if you like Super Castlevania 4, it's my favorite of all the games.
What a masterpiece!!! This is a sample of what a true video game should be. The 90's and the 16-bit war gave us many excellent titles. This is just one example of them, and now they are all true classics.
Ahh, Super Castlevania IV! It had.. The Rotating Room, The Mode 7 Skeleton Frenzy Room, The Swinging Chandeliers, The Library Book Platforms, The Disappearing Blocks with No Pattern, The Falling Staircases.. What a game!
Great game I didntplay through the whole game up to close to Draculas castle stages. But thx to the last stage code and secret invisible platform below the final stairs. A waterfall of hearts , life meet and boomerang and 2x 3x shots. Allow me to beat game anyway
To make the family line even more complicated it turns out the Belmont clan is related to the Morris family. The most famous of which would have been Quincey Morris who confronted Dracula in Bram Stoker's novel. This also explains why John Morris (Castlevania: Bloodlines) and his son Jonathan (Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin) can wield the vampire killer whip.
To everyone that says that this game is too easy, play through the second quest. A much more satisfying challenge. This game was groundbreaking when it came out. A true classic.
Damn. The atmosphere in this game! And the music. The only other 16 bit games I can think of that can compare are super metroid and demons crest. I can only think of a handful of games from that generation who hold up as well as these.

You really had to be there as a kid who was raised on Atari and NES to fully appreciate what a graphical revolution this was when it came out. It really did blow our minds
who came here after the video of the world record game collection
Me :-P
!
I do!
me
Wtf me
music in this game is incredible
Yes it is childhood favorite
Agreed! I'm watching this solely for the soundtrack haha. It was a fun game too but the soundtrack was the best ever!
Yeah, I played this on Halloween. Music and atmosphere is on point big time, and very unique
But a woman who likes this game is amazing. A woman like you 😚👌
I played this game on an emulator at school so i couldnt use volume so i couldnt hear the soundtrack. Im visiting this video because i hear i missed out
This game soundtrack gives me chills. Being 16 years old in 1991 and playing this game over and over again just to be in this amazing world. Still stands up to games today with its dark mood and atmospheric gameplay.
One of the best SNES games of all time!
One of the best games of all time! and soundtrack!
the music and sound effects are just so awesome
Music at the end of the game made me tear up. I miss those days. Being an adult with all the bullshit worries and responsibilities fucking sucks compared to the day I finally beat this game. I miss it so much.
i know what u mean , i kinda feel the same way
same here. :( life's as gay as fuck
so many anon's commenting on SNES/NES/64 soundtracks & longplays share this sentiment (myself included). Simpler times. Beautiful. Just get lost in it & relive those good times when you find time to play the games you loved from these eras
letsfixthis every single one of you fuckers needs serious treatment
Music is so good in this game
Amazing music and great game. Brings back nice memories.
I find it amazing that this game was way ahead of its time regarding to graphics and soundtrack
I think this was the best Castlevania ever made. I logged endless hours playing this over and over and over and over and over ... sigh ... memories.
I agree. I could play this on and on, amd being forever happy and sad, that games lime this existed, and will never be created, in such a beautiful manner.
Just watched the entirety. (Applauds) So many great memories of playing this. The end credits alone are worth playing a full game.
This and Symphony Of The Night are classics.
+Troy Turner Yup !! even the art direction in both these games are incredible. I like that they even took enemies from Super Castlevania 4 and brought them into Symphony of the night. Same art direction. Great gothic game. Masterpiece they both are.
Incessant Wake What stands out to me are the controls. Granted, Alucard moves better in SOTN. But Simon's controls in SCIV are MUCH MUCH improved!!
Troy Turner agreed. first of all. It's Simon Fucking Belmont. He is Castlevania PERIOD.
Incessant Wake Hell yeah, but you can control Simon's jumps in mid air and you can whip in all eight directions. And what are your thoughts on Bloodlines? I think the game is horribly underrated.
Troy Turner Bloodlines is underrated because people expected more after the excellent SCV4. In my opinion Bloodlines is a bloody, fantastic game!

The game play and music on this game is simply stunning. Way ahead of its time.
The time it took you to beat the game, was the time it took me to arrive at the cave stage at 9:07 .___.
you mean the amount of time it took to beat the cave stage? :0
Arguably the best Castlevania game ever made
Thomas Storff easily the best
John Doe definitely one of my favorite3, I also loved Lament of Innocence, Curse of Darkness , Symphony of the Night, Simons Quest
Thomas Storff yup,
Thomas Storff Definitely! Why latter Castlevania games didn't use the same gameplay and such makes no sense.
***** the music is so unbelievably awesome, it fits the game so perfectly
Would you consider this the best Castlevania game of all time?
Draculas' sense for architecture and interior design is sublime as ever, but maybe he should get rid of those old candlesticks hanging in thin air. That might slow the Belmont clan down.
Favorite Castlevania ever. The music was amazing too
Endezeichen Grimm ahahahahahahahaha, your mommy says, "get to bed Junior"
+Endezeichen Grimm boooo hoooo stop crying junior. Nice troll account by the way
+Endezeichen Grimm ahahahahahahahaha you fail cryer
the sound is superb and the graphic is just incredible...long live sprites...
Yep, with all that glorious Snes showdown. Snes should have been called the Slow Nintendo instead of Super
Not that this would be impossible but the gameplay in this video is so fluent it almost looks like a bot playing this game. Well done! ❤🦇
Played it in 90’s, best memories
When I was little I remember having trouble with the level at 14:40 that rotates 90 degrees. It took me a while to figure out that I needed to whip onto a hook and wait.
Cameron Alexander Yousa RACIST!
Judging by the comments, Castlevania is more a RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE than a video game! Wish I'd played it.😞
Bit of a late response, but I am playing it right now on the SNES Mini, since this was way before my time. It is still very playable today despite the game's age, it is not too late to still play it!
Sebas Vaessen dude so am I. Just finished it and it blew my fucking mind!
For a retro game it aged very well, its still thoroughly enjoyable. One of my favourites from childhood. Boost up an emulator!
The Classical music theme in this game was way before its time.
this is just an epic game, and it always will be
My favourite castlevania, the music is the best!!
Room of Close Associates FTW!
No
And the multiple whip angles!
Hearing this OST on the Genesis YM2612 really makes you forget about the SNES version.
Great game; loved it as a kid. I also love that this video is full gameplay with the game's stock sounds, with no commentary to speak of. Thanks. :)
For its time, this game was really a work of art. They put some much attention to detail. One of the best SNES games there was, without a doubt.
I used to love the gold level block 9-1, so much fun!!!
The music in this game should have won every type of music award possible. Some should have been created just to award this soundtrack. Epic and magical in every way.
2:55 one of the best SNES tracks EVER. Gets me hyped every time!
Undeniably, amazing. Makes me cry, and bite the happiness, at the same time. You, Simon, are in my heart.
Absolutely loved the soundtrack for this game. Watching people playing like this drives me crazy.. I'm the type that has to hit every single candle, get every single heart..
And defeat every enemy and explore every inch of the game.. does a disservice to the game creators and the game itself.. imo
That was one of the best walkthroughs I've ever seen to one of my favorite games of all time
I can't wait to get my hands on that SNES CLASSIC MINI.
Your gameplay matches the iconic Belmont swagger strut so well. You walk as if the forces of Castlevania shiver at the thought of your mere presence, and Dracula envies your unbridled flamboyance.
I love the fact that the music for the first stage is also the music for the final boss fight.
Another Dracula bites the dust. Epic. It's like watching Jesus Christ defeat Satan.
Ohh yeah
+TheMegalion 👍
Because Dracula is The Physical Embodiment of Evil that I have vanquish.
you know nothing of what Jesus Christ has done
Thanx for an awesome trip down memory lane. Wow.
This was my first game of Castlevania i ever played.. I have been hooked ever since.
The atmospheric music at the tombstone REALLY REALLY setup the tone for this game. The music is I think what made this game a success, same with SOTN.
Best soundtrack in video game history. Period. Hands down. End of story. End of report.
I really like how the intro music is the same as the final boss music.
Brought back memories. I was 6 when this came out. Thank you for the upload.
i was 16 great memories
This game was incredible. I remember when I first played it right after it came out. I didnt realize it was a remake then, but having Simon was enough for me. It wasnt the hardest game, but it was LONG.
Old Simon was a cow to move around but the music and backgrounds were truly great for it's time. That's why I'm here. Thanks for sharing the memory.
23:25 I think this is the first time that boss music plays in the game. Very stylish way to introduce a deadly waltz!
kilroy987 The creepiest, most creative boss here.
I still remember how amazed I was when I first saw that Mode 7 effect used to rotate that entire room.
This game never gets old
Who's here from the 90's era? lol
This was one of my favorite games for the SNES back then, this and ZELDA..
Sighs.. it was so different back then
2018 anyone? awhile watching this video i remembered those awesome times when i was watching my dad play this game
Raienryuu Guy hyped for smash ultimate?! 5 days to go mate
@@AngryMiddleAgedMan how did you know? damn dude 4days left for me though. never been this excited for a game like for smash
Raienryuu Guy yeah me too. I spend my time watching smash gameplay on youtube haha cant wait anymore!! 😂
One of my favoutite snes games and Castlevania games. Dude, you smashed it out. I'm rubbish at this game and never got past level 3. i need to go back and play it.
So extremely nostalgic. Thanks for uploading this :)
Wow you've been hitting the Thigh Master haven't you Simon?
This one had great music
SCIV was the pinnacle of linear side-scrolling Castlevania. The the somber music and dark graphics combine to make the best atmosphere of the series. It's a game I never get bored playing.
If you have a beef with Dracula, settle it with him personally. Don’t destroy his property
One of the best castlevania games ive ever played :)
38:13 reminds me of the purple tattered cloth monsters in altered beast
You would need leg muscles that strong to trek the entire landscape while swinging a whip enchanted against evil.
i am crying right now watching it, my childhood is in here year 90'
best game play out of the series. eight way whip, whip wiggle, jump control, etc.
Great walkthrough dude! I loved this game years back.
45:12. I found myself standing in the middle of my bedroom holding my controller in my hand just like Simon is holding his whip when I first beat this game. I was heavy into this game. Spent my whole junior summer on this. Good memories.
Nostalgia just listening to the music good I had some good times playing snes as a kid.
Thanks for uploading this. Me and my gf just watched the whole thing while I re-assembled a laptop, and had a chat about what the game was like.
Castlevania was always known for it's music and background. I never played this, in fact N64 castlevania (the first 3d vania) was my first and since the I've been hooked on all things castlevania and even made my way to the past to play and appreciate these older vanias.
Castlevania has been constistantly horrid since the first 3D Castlevania. I recommend you get an emulator and see if you like Super Castlevania 4, it's my favorite of all the games.
my favorite game in the Castlevania franchise
Can't wait to play this again on the Classic.
What a masterpiece!!! This is a sample of what a true video game should be. The 90's and the 16-bit war gave us many excellent titles. This is just one example of them, and now they are all true classics.
Ahh, Super Castlevania IV!
It had.. The Rotating Room, The Mode 7 Skeleton Frenzy Room, The Swinging Chandeliers, The Library Book Platforms, The Disappearing Blocks with No Pattern, The Falling Staircases..
What a game!
My favorite Castlevania game, and easily one of the best games of all time.
He played this like A BOSS!!!
The nostalgia is real with this one
Can you dig dem beatz. It makes you want to dance dem disco beatz.
Just running this in the background for sound while I study.
This game has aged well. Never played it but it feels nostaligic.
the music isfucking awesome when your facing dracula at the end it pumps you up
god damn when that 1rst stage song starts, still get goosebumps. just fucking epic
I love how they show the boss' health at all times just to tease you. "Hey, you know the boss is waiting SOMEWHERE."
Hola juver
Great game I didntplay through the whole game up to close to Draculas castle stages. But thx to the last stage code and secret invisible platform below the final stairs. A waterfall of hearts , life meet and boomerang and 2x 3x shots. Allow me to beat game anyway
Such a great game, music score is top. Those damn spikes though, one touch ‘Argh...!’ Then instant death. Drove me nuts.
I never could beat lv 9, but you owned it man. nice play
my first super nes game whit an outstanding music and graphics a master piece!
34:41 the music hits your soul
To make the family line even more complicated it turns out the Belmont clan is related to the Morris family. The most famous of which would have been Quincey Morris who confronted Dracula in Bram Stoker's novel.

To everyone that says that this game is too easy, play through the second quest. A much more satisfying challenge. This game was groundbreaking when it came out. A true classic.
You know a game is awesome when one level is just one boss fight after another before you get to the Big Bad :)
I'll be playing this a LOT on the mini SNES.
Smash Bros Ultimate, YEEESSS
damn man u got this fucking game memorized lol
I almost thought he was going for a speed run, there! Lol
God you are pretty god in this game.
Indeed. This game is a timeless classic.
Basslines were so funky in this game
Excellent gameplay!
Stellar game!
Damn. The atmosphere in this game! And the music. The only other 16 bit games I can think of that can compare are super metroid and demons crest. I can only think of a handful of games from that generation who hold up as well as these.
