Hey guys! I've replaced this video with a new playthrough with much better video quality. Please check it out instead! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jN1_gJZ82a6wh5s.html

A Link to the Past, Super Metroid and Super Castlevania 4 were my childhood. Still playing them today on my SNES Mini. Absolute masterpieces.

Never understood why every Castlevania game after this didn't incorporate the control scheme. The controls in this game are top-notch even when playing it almost 30 years later.

I get goosebumps watching the first minute. I'm a 37-year old man and it still makes me feel the same emotion as a kid. The creepy music in the beginning reappears at the 30:28 mark.

In my opinion This is the greatest Castlevania game of them all. Just a amazing game from start to finish

The music on this game was amazing

The nostalgia is overwhelming... how I miss those times.

This game captures the feel of old horror movies perfectly.

Out of all the Castlevania games, this one is my absolute favorite of all time and it will forever reign supreme….every level kept me on the edge of my seat….love it 😊

I remember having all the passwords written down on a piece of paper so I could jump in to my favourite levels whenever I wanted.

Master piece of gaming history on the super nintendo. It make me feel like a child again . Being the vampire slayer. And then we grow up and find out what being a adult is like . With all the worries of the world on your head. I want to go back to my child hood ..when you just couldn't wait to get home and play your fav game and dream on . The music in this takes me there again.

I had this game almost 30 years ago, played it all the time. The music was incredible for a console from the early 90’s.

This game is a masterpiece!

You know Dracula is gonna freak out, when he finds all the tables and chairs have been destroyed. Those were rentals!!

I listen to this music of this game as I'm workingout or driving sometimes...am i the only one that do this?

The music during the credits is so nostalgic. Brings back memories of the great gaming days in the 90's!

One of the very first and greatest games from the SNES to show 360 Rotation.

One of the greatest SNES soundtracks ever u could listen to this in your car on a long trip and go down memory lane and just enjoy yourself

THIS WAS MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD GAME. I STILL OWN AND PLAY IT.

As a kid, that graveyard imagery from the story at the beginning, used to send shivers down my spine. I always thought there was some place like that in this world. Now, as an adult, I cant stop thinking that someone envisioned it because he saw it in real life...

One of the greatest games of all time, with some of the greatest music of all time.

Nintendo blew their load with this game, and everything else on SNES. They’ve never been able to top the SNES days.

I kind of love it how the music for Drac's third stage is "Simon's Theme." Instead of ominous, threatening music for his FINAL FORM, instead the soundtrack itself is telling Vlad to prepare for the whipping he is about to receive.

Diagonal whip was so revolutionary. I remember playing the first few castlevania in NES and they didn’t have that. It’s been so long. Am I right or is there something wrong with my memory?

Man the beginning sound track of this game was so hype.

I love how there is a "calm before the storm" level just before you enter the castle proper. It's really atmospheric.

I love it when games use the music from the first level during the final bossfight. This is so cinematic.

So glad I found this awesome channel. Brings back a lot memories of times I played most of these games with my late father

I loved this game. And the soundtrack is amazing, too.

Such an epic, atmospheric game and soundtrack. One of my favorite Super NES games!

Was a huge Castlvania fan as a kid. This is my absolute favorite Castlevania, and one of my favorite games ever!

Imo this is the Castlevania with the most melancholic atmosphere. It's also the first i've played.

This game had some awesome levels like the Treasury, Castle Halls/Ballroom, Stables, and Clock Tower. The bosses, although easy, they were memorable.

this was my mom's favorite SNES game back in the 2000s. loved watching her playing this.

I remember first seeing that rotation level I was amazed at the graphics.

I miss watching my brother playing this game. He's the only one who completed the game. RIP brother 🙏❤

It was a blast to see the game in 1992 in German department stores! The intro 0:39 - 3:04 is especially eerie, atmospheric and horror-like, similar to Forbidden Forest (Commodore 64)!! Goosebumps! Amazing music!

I could never forget the soundtrack

Super Castlevania beat me up so bad as a kid. This game is a lot harder than you think!

45:10 came here for the nostalgia. Stage 8 was one of my favorites, the music makes me time travel back to those times. Nice gameplay man thanks

Hands down the best music compilation for a video game in the history of my childhood!

Still throw this in about once a year and play it over a few days. Maybe the best soundtrack for any game ever.

This and symphony of the night for the ps1 was the best.

Possibly the biggest videogame franchise ever; not only for the number of games along the years but also for its simple concept: Good vs. Evil in their rawest forms. It's classic. Apologies for the God of War and Batman Arkham games, but this one marked my life forever.

I can remember my Dad taking me to blockbuster to rent this game and how amazed I was at the sound and graphics. Still holds up today to nice play through

How I miss these days,this game was so good and still holds up.

Boss List Boss 01 Rowdain 8:32 Boss 02 Medusa 12:39 Boss 03 Orphic Vipers 21:25 Boss 04 Kornoat 28:00 Boss 05 Dancing Specters 38:18 Boss 06 Sir Garkut 44:15 Boss 07 Frankenstein 49:39 Boss 08 Golden Phantom Bat 56:37 Boss 09 Akmodan 1:02:46 Final Boss Count Dracula Vlad Trepes 1:10:37

at times I forget this one is real. I am a fan of many of the titles, and yet everytime I come back to this one im just amazed at so much they did for this game. from music to animation and to framing of the credits. so Unreal for a castlevania game at the time

When you heard the organ playing in the final stage, you knew s*** was about to get real.

This one is a masterpiece.

I love how this game lets you freely swing your chain to "block" incoming attacks if an enemy gets too close. So cool!

The attention to detail is so exquisite for a Snes game, the soundtrack is powerful. The bosses are incredible, the controls are responsive!

The Dracula final battle music is a masterpiece that still stands strong to this day.

Duuuude, when the music changes to Simon's theme... CHILLS

The BEST OG Castlevania. Graphics, sound design, music (oh the music!) and atmosphere and that whip have never been surpassed. An absolute gem of the 16-bit era.

One of the most epic intros in a game I've ever seen in my life. And...when Konami can get better localization for Japanese-to-English translation in 1991 than many games can get today.

I love that Konami sound. You knew you were gonna have fun

The Cross is really good in this game.🧐

9:30 stage music is epic epicccc I remember playing this with my big brother man that was the days

The music on this game was amazing. I remember you could play the tracks on the game. Used to listen to them all the time.

The Deadly Dancers: Fred Ascare and Paula Abghoul.

1:09:52 Dat feel when the final music starts to play. Your palms are sweaty. You are nervous and fearful as all get out. Still you press left on the d-pad. Time for the final boss. Time to face Dracula.

Crazy thing is I watched this because I knew it was a good game.. but even relooking at it now and I'm actually blown away at how phenomenal this game ,not was, but IS!!! I cant believe this was a launch title!

Best 16 bits Soundtrack Ever. So Creative, So Unique, So Magic. Even 30 years later.

In my honest opinion one of the greatest video games ever created

So many memories with this game. I want to play it again.

This is one of the best in the series. The music is amazing the whole game. They finally let you whip in all directions also.

I'm Sega Genesis fan. But SNES is also a GREAT console. Cool.

The first time I heard just the opening "Jazzesque" theme in 1991 I melted. The entire game is a masterpiece, but the music, just too good.

This game really showed off all the things the Super Nintendo was about:- Sprite rotation Sprite scaling Mode 7 Transparency effects Synthesised instrumental music Didn't like the look of it at first glance (in particular thought the first stage was ugly), but once you persevered for a while, the game really started to show how good it was.

I played this growing up. Having the boomerang was always the best weapon to have. My brother's and I loved this masterpiece. He still has it . I'm 45 years old and was a teenager back then 😊

one of the best games i've ever played.

33:43 secret break away in the floor, secret room.

Great music. I can see mario working his magic on mario paint.

*100 years later* Simon: "Time for me to whip some bastards" Konami: "I got you" *The greatest theme ever* Dracula: *Nervous laugh* "I'm in danger"

That's my BEST GAME i ever played when I was a kid growing up......specially the Music I wish could be a kid again ......miss those DAYS .

0:38 That whole scene at the start scared the shit outta me as a kid!! I was imagining I was in that big as graveyard during the night!! I was 8 years old!! :0

Modern games are good and all, and maybe they're the best games have ever been, but I always come back to these retro games. After the PS2/XBox/GameCube my interest in keeping up with modern gaming started to wane, and I started playing fewer and fewer "new" games. I have the PS4/XB1/Switch and what do I play the most? The NES/SNES/Genesis Classic consoles, and I can't wait until the TG16 comes out next year. The Switch is really the only modern console I play...it's not that there aren't any modern games that interest me, it's just that there really isn't a pick-up-and-play element to most modern games. You have to sit down and invest time into the game, the controls, the story, etc...When you're in your 40's you don't have the benefit of a whole lot of free time. To sum it all up in the simplest of terms: Retro games FTW!

They've created masterpieces back then. I miss these times.

Whenever I beat Dracula in this game and that orb fell from the air in his chamber, I would always try and jump up and grab it while flailing my whip, so I could get that cool frozen action shot. 😁 But yeah, this game brings back memories. The music, the graphics. Wow, this takes me back.

57:56 Stage 10-1 1:03:47 Stage 11-1 1:04:52 Stage 11-2 1:06:48 Stage 11-3 1:09:51 Final Boss

After beating this game, let the credits roll without powering down or resetting the SNES and you will be able to start the game again in a slightly different version. The Bosses are the same, but you will have regular enemies that are somewhat tougher and some later enemies from game 1 will appear earlier in the 2nd game. If nothing else, save your first password from the 2nd game - you will have a different set of passwords for this game. Many Super Castlevania IV purists don't consider the game beaten until they beat it the 2nd time through.

One of the best games ever! I always loved the music in this game. Brings back great memories.

Just beat this game today. Music playing during Dracula fight was badass. Even the credits music was really good

the first skeletons used to give me chills down the spine when was a kid lol. awesome game

one of the greatest game ever made

That music starting the 2-1 level...beast. Memories.

That music tho.. after all these years. Still as powerful and amazing as ever. I just bought a copy of the game in near mint condition! For me this was the golden age of gaming. ❤

I used to watch my sister play this when I was little. Always loved the music especially from the ballroom level.

Simplemente un juego magistral! Recuerdo que la revista Gamepro, lo califico todo en rojo; o sea, su máxima puntuación. Y dijeron, en esa edición de noviembre de 1991, que era uno de los mejores juegos de acción-aventura de ese momento. Saludos!

I took my SNES to school in 9th grade during English class taught by a music teacher and played this game for them. Students amazed at the mode 7 graphics in the wall spinning corridor. Teacher enjoy the music

Just completed this game today, the final boss took me over 2 days to beat. Probably harder than Castlevania 3's.

They need to take some of this music and put it in the castlevania Netflix series! Put a like if u agree .

The stage with the swinging chandelier that music was soooo epic 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I remember getting this game the day it released at Electronc Boutique before it became GameStop. This game is a masterpiece and has one of the best soundtracks ever for a game.

A true barbarian warrior... This game always had such an intense, brooding seriousness to it. Quite addictive back in the day.

Wow I remember this game when I was a lil boy my dad use too play this game every night still Kool as hell brings back old memories 👍👍👍👍👍👍

This takes me back to when I was 10. I got this for XMAS 1992. Fond memories.

this game deserves a remake so much.

I still love playing this game
