  • This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
    TAS originally published on 2022-09-25
    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/... ) and eien86 ( tasvideos.org/... ) improve the predecessor movie ( tasvideos.org/... ) by 00:06.79 seconds, thanks to better optimization of the scroll glitch as well as more clever ways of utilizing it.
    There is also a run of this game which destroys as little as possible ( tasvideos.org/... ).
    The MSX version ( tasvideos.org/... ) has been TASed as well!
    --------
    Watch this run being played back on a real console ( • TAS - Castlevania by C... ).

    Always excellent to see this game still being improved. Just when I think it can't be improved anymore

      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.

      it's a glitch called 'scroll glitch' which is heavily abused of in this TAS. It totally looks like a level editor lol

    • @Baximus
      @Baximus 2 роки тому +3

      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."

    • @aramusbelmont4992
      @aramusbelmont4992 Рік тому +5

      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.

    • @lightfeather9953
      @lightfeather9953 Рік тому

      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

      It's called a critical hit. You gotta hit them as they hit you and the game goes haywire with collision detection

    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.
