Hes doin a lot of shit you normally cant do like shooting Boomerangs from a crouch. Also there are blocks at the end of the cave level that shouldnt be there
I was curious myself, and poked around. This is a bit from one of the TASes on this game: "In certain conditions, attacking while taking damage causes Simon to strike behind him and greatly damage an enemy."
When you hit any enemy (not just bosses) with the whip on the exact same frame that you take damage, the whip deals damage for each frame of the whipping animation. Also, any time sprites overlap (like the mummies) they take damage for each frame that they are hit with a subweapon.
See summoning salt video about the speedruns of this game, it's used for the Dracula battle and bat boss by humans. The mummies are defeated very fast too via glitch
Even if it's for time-saving, I love-hate how the final whip power up rarely spawns, and when it does it's always skipped. EDIT: Also, why are there so few comments on the level manipulating shenanigans? I know most people who watch TASes don't play the actual game but... actually I just answered my own question.
This game is visually garbage. And also controlls are overall garbage. Game mechanics are garbage. Bosses are garbage. Levels are garbage. Themes are not so bad. Storyline is mid. I didn't get why this game is so popular
You're entitled to your opinions and all, and it's 100% valid. But of all the things to not call garbage, story??? Not only is this an early NES game where the story is entirely in the instructions manual, but it's about as deep as a 5 page children's storybook. Come on.

Always excellent to see this game still being improved. Just when I think it can't be improved anymore
Crazy. I love the use of the scroll glitch for additional platforms
Love this game! CV1, CV3 and CV4 are my favourite games of all time. Masterpieces and a joy to play every single time
2 never came close to feeling like any of the rest.
Why did you diss cv2 its amazing
Haters gonna hate, but my fav is Simon's quest
I know these TAS speedruns are something no human player could ever do but I still find them very amusing to watch
Why wouldn’t you? There’s nothing inherently bad about them.
@@JFJD Not sure if you're ignorant or just trolling.
These glitches are so great to watch

And there's Simon's back injury. This run is canon.
"Hey you, Belmont #5!"
- Death.
The orb catch after the Death fight is absolutely beautiful.
3:41 was some of the most impressive subtle rhythm following i've ever seen in a TAS
When I saw that and o was like ( WTf?) they prob spent the most time doing this
Hard as nails
Random Vampire: Sire , how could you lose to weak Belmont who has no magic or allies , twice?
Simon:
Wait, how are they killing bosses with only one hit?
Crit hit: when you take damage on the same frame the boss takes damage. I don't recall all the mechanics of it, but it's a glitch that's exploited.
With perfect timing you can do it in a normal playthru. Not just tas
Speedrunners do this on the bat and Dracula. See the world records
@lightfeather9953 nah the giant bat splits upto several and one hit is enough to kill them all if they line up

Wrong game
Meanwhile Dracula's like "where tf did you come from?"
Ah yes, who can forget the music of James Banana?
Meanwhile, in a lab somewhere:
"Holy water? Where the hell is my acid?"
I like old Family Guy too.
This castle is a creature of chaos... fortunately Simon seems to be able to manipulate that chaos to his advantage!
Seems to be a few extra platforms in the levels that I don't remember being there
That’s the result of a common NES glitch that spawns a slightly different layout by scrolling the screen in various ways
That stage 13 is mesmerizing to watch
4:38 is it just me or does it look like Dracula's castle is flipping the bird
Lmao
what was that?!? had been focused on human runs and hadn't seen a tas in a while for cv1. mind blown
One of best games ever that and 3 I even like Simon's Quest 😁😁
А терерь тоже самое,но со вторым кругом...
Woah! I'm in par with the TAS after the first screen!
You know you're going to see some shit when the player ignores the holy water during the Dracula fight
The gargoyle area starting 5:10 is hilarious
Unbelievable 😮!!!!
These glitches are getting nuts...
4:12 perfect sync
Came here for this song 3:17
Wow. Nice job!
What’s with the different in terrain? In the version I play some platforms don’t exist/are in different spots
Manipulation of the game. By taking certain actions with Simon the game spawns incorrect blocks/doors/stairs.
I nearly know the game by heart but how can the ‚wrong sprite load‘ be managed to create specific shortcuts?
Why is the game in the description Castlevania 3 🤣
It's an automatic UA-cam ID system. It gets things wrong a lot.
I forgot enemies in this game drop sub weapons and even the ×2 and 3 power-ups
i accindentally got the 2 mummies ik, and i dont really know how
I'm sorry about my ignorance, but what's the trick to kill the bosses so fast?
@2:38 is this a glitch or a level editor? What's the deal?
it's a glitch called 'scroll glitch' which is heavily abused of in this TAS. It totally looks like a level editor lol
How did you get those block to appear out of thin air? Witchcraft!
I think it is very specific screen mulipulation using Simon
what is the technique to drain the bosses energy in a matter of seconds?
It's called a critical hit. You gotta hit them as they hit you and the game goes haywire with collision detection
I’d love to understand how the bosses are defeated so quickly.

Needs an update!

Wtf is going on the levels look different
The scrolling is being manipulated. Watch Displaced Gamers’ video to learn more.
18 stages that's all one easy game
This dude is using Game Genie! Killing bosses with one hit? 😂😂😎

What in the rearranged shit is this? I mean I bet it's still hard and all but moved platforms and such makes me think it's a hack.
not a hack, just glitch abuse of the game's scrolling mechanics =)
200k rerecords 😂
Fake
This game is visually garbage.
And also controlls are overall garbage.
Game mechanics are garbage.
Bosses are garbage.
Levels are garbage.
Themes are not so bad.
Storyline is mid.
I didn't get why this game is so popular
my man just expected a EARLY nes game to have perfect and carefully placed details
@@BennyWasNotFound
Look at Mega Man and tell me what you see.
Mega Man 1? compared to Castlevania, it's nothing special honestly, the first one isn't really that good
You're entitled to your opinions and all, and it's 100% valid.
But of all the things to not call garbage, story??? Not only is this an early NES game where the story is entirely in the instructions manual, but it's about as deep as a 5 page children's storybook. Come on.
Mega Man 1 has nowhere near the visual quality of CV1
