the best soundtrack in Gameboy

It's nice to see this underrated gem available in the recently released Castlevania Collection.

Those last two bosses were a nightmare for me as a kid. They were unbelievably hard. I figured out patterns to beat them and painted them on sheets of paper when I was 5 years old.

Played it like 23 years ago. Played it to the last 2 bosses but was not able to passed it no matter how much I tried. Usually took a whole afternoon to get there though. Such a shame in my childhood. But I am glad to see how it is like to finish the game. Thank you.

I guessed the password to go to the final castle when I was 10. Never forgot it! Heart, Ball, Candle, Blank.

the plant castle soundtrack was the reason i always played that game back in the days(37 years and counting)

1 word (UNDERRATED). This and Rondo of Blood are my favorite. :)

Love this game, this was one of my first ever games. I used to bring it to school in senior kindergarten and everyone wanted to play it because I was the only one with a gameboy. :D There's nothing like having 2 older brothers that pass on all of their games to you. Being born in 1997, I'm proud to say I partially got to experience the 90's and play games like this and donkey kong 64 that couldn't have happened without having two 90's brothers. :D (1990 and 1986 birthdates)

brings back some warm memories. Konami games use to second to none, and their games' music was always great.

Most underrated game soundtrack ever.

Ah Cloud Castle & the 'Praying Hands' BGM. I'd reset the game simply to listen to it over and over before I found out about how to access the BGM list. And I always loved this version of 'Final Steps', with all the kneeling skeletons that are holding scythes in the background. For it's day, that was amazingly intimidating. You can also see glimmers of where other games since then (From Software's line-up) have very obviously done similar stuff. Pity though that Dracula is a pushover in this.

This game looks great, the music is fantastic

Omg the memories...this game was a masterpiece from start to finish.

I've just finished this game for the first time, and it's really fun and underrated. The last bosses are brutal, but I'm glad that Dracula has a learnable pattern.

playing through this old-school black&white Castlevania multiple times is a sublime experience~

Oh dear, I'm in a minority here. Crystal Castle has the best soundtrack. Castlevania always have an epic intro stage music. Since Crystal Castle is more often chosen to be the first place so that proves it.

As not a gaming nerd this is perhaps the best game ever released on gameboy: Music, graphics, controls and overall atmosphere all in honourable quality. And it's not that hard either since even I got it beaten after years of struggling. ;)

Apparently, this game is gonna be included in a Castlevania collection to be released in the near future... Nice.

Plant castle has the best soundtrack. IM 33 and love this game.

Soundtracks epic, made remember my childhood!!

such a nostalgia..

Wow throw back so many memories! Remember i played it when i was a baby. The music in this game was not bad

Can't wait to play this on PS4 in a few days. Its been so long.

Way better game than I expexted and it was nice to see how the devs improved the first gb game. I even would say I like parts of it more than the og nes games. The Dracula boss fight and the one befor that could be better though.

Damn the music in this game is epic. BTW I don't think you took even one hit in this whole game. And got just about every candle. If not all of em.

The Game Boy games were truly an unusual breed. No Death, Christopher can shoot fireballs from the Vampire Killer, and Soleil even has a whip of his own. Not to mention Dracula deviates completely from his usual attack pattern.

I too played this for its soundtrack...particularly the cloud castle.....for the gameboy, its amazing!

Top five Castlevania games for me no question for me.

i have this damn game

Best game on the original GameBoy, and the best soundtrack on the gameboy.

Should have played the *Konami Collections IV* version of this game on the Gameboy Color because, well, it's in color and looks a lot better.

plant castle's theme is so epic... brings back so many memories

Imagine how cool this game would be if it got a Samus Returns type treatment.

I have to say that even with all of the technical limitations, New Messiah is amazing. Its use in ReBirth only reinforces this.

A decent game I must say. It is a MASSIVE improvement over the Adventure.

Amazing soundtrack.

Good sequel, I improve in many things your previous game. Spectacular soundtrack, good level design, sub weapons, more manageable enemies and truly challenging bosses, is also more varied and the controls improved in good part thanks to the better level design compared to the previous game.

Awesome game, perfectly played.

Video is 9 years old and every time I see it I wish I had not been so salty over Adventure and got this and Legends as a kid. It honestly disappoints me how I missed out on this franchise and only played a handful of the ps2 games.

Never got a chance to play this, didn't even know it existed!

@7.22 some of the most epic pre-boss music.

Great! I need to find a copy soon to check out! I have most of the CV titles minus a few.

just bought this game today. love me some castlevania

@grumblekin Easy. Two words: Konami, and Castlevania. This was when konami was in their stride, and games like this truly showed what the little monochrome wonder could do with the right artisans. Arguably one of the best GB soundtracks ever.

It blows my mind why this game along with Legends hasn't been re released on the 3DS Virtual Console. All we get is its crappy predecessor (The Castlevania Adventure).

The approach to boss music👍

This dude is a beast

I first played Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge on the Castlevania Anniversary Collection. Maybe it was me but I couldn't get into the Castlevania: The Adventure. This game was amazing. And the soundtrack is off the charts. Most Castlevania music was pretty good

Omg good old times

I'm just here for the music. Childhood memories.

That game creeped me out when I was a kid ! :-D (I was born in 1983, so I probably was about 10 at that time) I remember I wanted to buy Game Boy "Looney Tunes" with my pocket money. My dad took me to the shop and there were discounted games. So he was like "Look, you can have two games for the price of the one you want" and before I could even say something, he picked two games at random, Castlevania 2 and Pang. I liked Pang but I told him Castlevania creeped me out and that I would have much preferred Looney Tunes. He hated video games but he played that game and pretended to enjoy it just to have the last word, haha. I loved the music though.

I have this game and I can't seem to find it !! ! Damn !! It's amazing =D

A very good and memorable game. Nice run without damage. However, it would have been nice to show the secrets: 1. that is some of the corner bricks can be destroy for items, 2. some rope will continue upwards, so you can climb to secret rooms.

Que esto funcionarà en una Game boy, su banda sonora, su jugabilidad y su apartado artístico, pura magia, de niño compré este juego en versión japonesa en su caja de cartón más pequeña, y todo en japonés.

Awesome game!! A vast improvement over the stellar original title!

great video, my only complaint, your missing all the hidden parts, the food n the hidden rooms.

Eu amo esse Castlevania. Derrotar o Dracula era difícil.

I remember this game but I don't really remember the ending credits. I have a vague memory that the saving system in this game might have been key codes, and I couldn't save and had to restart the game if I died? Funny that the credits is like a handful people working with the game. Really cool.

I was really impressed with the level design, controls, and challenge balance in this game (which I never got to play until the Collection came out recently here), but HOLY BALLS Soleiyu is frickin' hard. One of the nastiest bosses in the ENTIRE SERIES if you ask me O_o

THE FFFF ING SOUNDTRACK !! soo good

New Messiah kicks so much ass

So many secrets I remember from this game

Christopher Belmont Is Out For Revenge On Count Dracula In CASTLEVANIA 2 BELMONT'S REVENGE For Your Nintendo Game Boy From Konami!

Plant Castle Theme is called Ripe Seeds, you're welcome :)

When Castlevania = great music

this music flows... I played this in 1995.

Soleiyu Belmont, Son of Christopher Belmont (Castlevania Adventure) and the grandfather of Simon Belmont (Castlevania/Simons Quest)... probably

The first game I've ever touched. I was like 5 and my older sister borrowed a GameBoy from a friend with this game. I didn't even know what the hell was actually going on.

42:42 Calm and relaxing...

ending theme is beautyfull ^^

This game was Christopher too. Just like in Adventure on GB.

Mi infancia. ❤️

one of my first and my favourite games on gbc A M A Z I N G

I love how they went a bit mega man by allowing you to do the stages in whichever order you want

Waoo este juego lo jugaba mucho cuando tenía 6 años pero no lo llegué a terminar

I have this game and I love it I beat it all its just amazing

my first gb Game.

Isn't the last stage music (36:55) a famous piece?? If so, can someone tell me its name please? Thanks a lot.

I feel old knowing this game is only a year older

Castlevania Adventure: worst game in the entire series Belmont's Revenge: one of the best games in the entire series, and the blueprint of things to come

Anyone else notice that skull at the end looked like cloverfield?

Plant castle soundtrack is the reason i go back and forth in this video

@grumblekin THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I'm so SICK of these God of War clones! The new Castlevania doesn't even fell like a Castlevania!!!

GREAT music

7:48 Sounds like Jigglypuff

Legend

Crystal Castle is my favorite castle!

This game brings back memories wow

I wish that they would remake this game into a 3d open world type just like Castlevania Lord's of Shadow

Plant Castle my mobile ringtone 💚💚💚

Say whatever you want about this game, but it has an amazing soundtrack.

Lo ando jugando en emulador android pero lo noto colorido y no blanco y negro como aqui x sera ?? 😢

Start with 10 lives Go to Passwords and put Candle - Candle - Heart - Heart Start 2x. Begin the game

When you know you played this game soo hard you could finish the game with 1 life!

The soundfont reminds me of Quarth.

15:47 best part of this soundtrack

este lo tenia yo que recuerdos

Great game

Music doesn't sound quite like Castlevania, but HOT DAMN how do they STILL manage to make those sprites look so good?
