This game is incredible. From the soundtrack to the gameplay, honestly. I can still remember the music from the first couple of levels.... being super subtle and then BAM! The gameplay was amazing too. The ability to swing from certain things with the whip, striking diagonally, and being able to hold the whip out and spin it with the d-pad were all very cool.

I distinctly recall my uncle having this game and getting smashed by the Grim Reaper fight over and over. It's the fight right before Dracula. I will always remember his arrogance, when I asked to try.

"You will never beat him. There's a reason they call him "The Wizard" - I dunno, some old hippie shit probably.

Anyway, smashed the fucking Reaper on my 1st go. He was PISSSSSSSSED and immediately made me give him the controller back. He proceeded to get walloped by Dracula 3 times, and was pissed when he had to go through the Reaper again, from his save spot.

I remember beating the game for the 1st time and it was outstanding. When Dracula moves into his final phase, the games main theme kicks up and it makes for an awesome fucking experience. There's so much shit happening on the screen, the game lags and frames drop pretty bad. That was almost a blessing though, as it allowed me to see the attack pattern quicker.

I purchased the Nintendo online sub for this, Super Metroid and other fantastic SNES titles. I still firmly stand today that the SNES is the greatest console ever made.
