This is the longplay of the game Super Castlevania IV, an action game and platform exclusive to the Super Nintendo and developed and published by Konami in Japan and North America in 1991, and in Europe in 1992.

Super Castlevania IV basically shares the same story as the original Castlevania. In Transylvania, there is a legend that with each century the forces of good lose power as the forces of evil manifest in the form of monsters, with the most terrifying being the vampire Dracula. The Belmont clan has always been there to deal with this threat, passing their knowledge of vampire hunters through the generations. Now, a group of people influenced by evil performed a ritual that resulted in the resurrection of Dracula, the Prince of Darkness. Simon Belmont must once again wield his legendary whip, the Vampire Killer, and his family's techniques to eliminate him.

The story of Super Castlevania IV is a re-enactment of Simon Belmont in the series, originally made in Castlevania on the NES. Despite being a remake of the original, it has very different and innovative levels, some featuring areas outside the castle, 16-bit SNES Mode 7 graphics, and a soundtrack consisting mainly of new music, but also including several remixes of previous songs in the series.

The gameplay of the game also received several innovations, with the possibility of Simon attacking with the whip in 8 directions. In addition to being an attacking weapon, the whip can also be used to attach itself to objects, allowing Simon to hang and reach very wide areas, for which a normal jump would not be enough. The player can also control Simon while he is crouched. Secondary weapons (knife, axe, cross and holy water) are also present and use a controller's own button (R) instead of the Up + Attack command.

It was the first game in the Castlevania series released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, later receiving conversions for the SNES Classic Edition and Virtual Console. Undoubtedly, an incredible game that used the power of the Super Nintendo in an exquisite way.
I hope you enjoy the video.
