Castlevania: Dracula X (1995), released in Japan as Akumajō Dracula XX, is actually a toned-down remake of a PC Engine title known as Rondo of Blood ( https://tasvideos.org/547G ) (1993). It stars Richter Belmont, supposedly a son of Juste Belmont from Harmony of Dissonance ( https://tasvideos.org/327G ), on a mission to save Annette (said to be his girlfriend) and Maria Renard (a young vampire huntress said to be his girlfriend's sister), along with a number of their fellow villagers, from imprisonment by Dracula (said to be the villain) and his minions.

Unfortunately, in this SNES port Richter isn't too much of a fast walker - unlike his father and the later Belmont clan descendants - so his fastest way of moving is constant backflipping (so don't be surprised by the author's choice of traveling method).

This movie is a 00:10.65 second improvement to the previous version ( https://tasvideos.org/1932M ) thanks to new optimizations found over the years.
