NES Longplay [400] Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse

This 1990 port is a challenging, side-scrolling action-platformer set 100 years before the first game, where you play as Trevor Belmont fighting Dracula's rising evil across 17 levels. The core gameplay involves mastering hack and slash combat using weapons like the Mystic Whip, but its unique feature is the ability to transform Trevor into three distinct spirits—Grant, Sypha, and Alucard—to navigate obstacles. Success requires strategic path selection and mastering these transformations across its perilous, gothic environments.
