NES Castlevania 1 Perfect Playthrough (No Hits, Every Weapon used)
My playthrough of Castlevania 1, featuring:
-No Hits, No Deaths
-Varied Weapon Usage
In particular a different weapon is used for each boss:
-Vampire Bat: Knife
-Medusa: Stopwatch
-Mummies: Boomerang
-Frankenstein's monster: Holy Water
-Death: Axe
-Dracula: Whip
This game in my opinion is one of the greatest of all time. I hope this playthrough helps illustrate the immaculate design of the game.
I tried to get all the secrets but still missed several. Please let me know if you know of any additional ones (first loop only)!

You jumped to freeze in midair at the score tally after a boss kill just like I use to! Made me laugh.
Man I love the music to this game
Aren't you supposed to be curing cancer right now? This was sick.

Patalliro Wtf with your profile picture
No deaths, no hits play through, and I had to cheat to get to Death? I don't know if I want to punch the guy for humiliating me or have his children for being so awesome.
Great job with the perfect run, I’m several years late but sharing secrets and exploits is timeless. At the hallway before Queen Medusa, stand still at the 4th blue arch you come across, and a secret money bag will appear. In the Mummy room, if you walk against one of the block walls, you will reveal a secret money bag, but it is unreachable. After you fight 2 skeletons in stage 13’s second room, run up against a right wall adjacent to stairs. It will reveal a secret 1-UP, the only one in the entire game. In Stage 14’s big laboratory room, there are 2 spots to stand still in to reveal secret money bags. The first is in front of the rightmost red science flask after you come down from the stairs. The second is at the leftmost wall (where the red gate is) before the door itself. I also noticed that Dracula’s second form never shot fireballs in the video. Is there a specific exploit tied to that?
damn. That's some of the most impressive shit ive ever seen. No joke.
Those floating heads made me rage so hard

omg yeah, have you watched "Something about Castlevania"? the video captures the pain perfectly
This really takes me back this was the second game i got in the 80s when i was a kid
Watching your playthrough inspired me to revisit this game. I've killed the human form of Dracula but still need to figure out the toad bird one 😂. Amazing skills you've got there, you bend Death over your knee.

A true master. I am very impressed. Thank you for uploading!
Wow!! As many times as played this game as a kid, not once did it cross my mind to take out the mummies like that. 😮
yes. the sound by the final character... legendary!!!
Hello, thanks for pointing out the other secrets. I've just played the game again and confirmed that they all work (there's in fact one more in the area right before the one in 15:47). I'm going to incorporate getting these into my habitual playthrough from now on, please let me know if you know of any more. As for save states, I assure you that none was used because I despise them. Honestly if I were to use them I wouldn't even move so conservatively against the medusa heads and crows!
Very Impressive! I turned this video on to compare strategies and maybe find some more secret areas, and well... Dang you are very good at this game. This game is amazing though still play it on my top loader on a daily basis. Very good.
Like how you handled those mummies, damn...
I was so impressed with myself the first time when I accidentally beat the grim bastard! Finally I'm good at something I thought to myself! Best the game at 10 years old! Dracula is nothing compared to the Grim! Raised my self-esteem!
An inspiring watch! Man this was cool!
I just love the fact that this has a 1080p option.
#respect . I'm terrible at classic castlevania games. You are just awesome.
I've always preferred the boomerang/crucifix as my subweapon.
gg man, that fight with death near the end was awesome

I have to ask: Was this a TAS playthrough? There were some extremely close calls in this video. If not, I'm absolutely stunned. The Mummies trick you used was downright awesome. I'll definitely keep that in mind for my next playthrough. :]

Oskar Martinez I know right? Bought the anniversary version to the switch after I saw this video, figured it couldn’t be that hard. Hate the Medusas, the jumping thingies (even more when they’re dropped from the skies) and then they pull this shit? Still haven’t managed to kill Dracula but I’m getting there.
Well done! I did a couple of playthroughs without subweapons and no death, they are on my channel, but this was really cool too. I like the idea to use every subweapon and nice that you choosed the axe against Grim Reaper. No damage, maybe I should try that some time.
cant believe no one is talking about all the secret items he's showing us. i cant believe this game had so many.
Goddamn. Good run. Props to using all the weapons (especially some of the more useless ones)
man, I loved playing this!
Still have this one in the collection, bought it years ago, boxed (box not in the greatest condition) at a pawn shop for under $10. I used to beat it regularly, and got to the point I could 1 life the game on a real console. Sadly those days are long over though, still can play the game as I still have 2 NES models (toaster and toploader) but the skills have eroded due to age and nonpractice.
Nice run! My latest accomplishments were: - Beating Frankenstein (up close start) with a whip without getting hit once - Beating Frankenstein (far start) with a whip without getting hit once - Beating the Grim Reaper with a whip without getting hit once My new challenge is to beat the Grim Reaper (second time around) using only whip, and without getting hit. Let me know if you would be interested in taking this on. It's really challenging.
I wandered why does Dracula transform in to that blue monster when he dies
I hated those jumping chupacabra-hunchback-things

@@esands36 Nah, bro. You just have to be aggressive with the axe knights. You can hit both elevations of axe while standing as well, so you just whip them, take a few steps, whip them, and repeat. I'll agree on the skeletons though. They're probably the only enemy in the game I can't completely avoid still.

man this game were my first game that i finish.
I wanna see you play this the second time through. I can't get past the second level after beating Dracula.
You make this game look easy. But it's sooo not. Good run 😁
I’m still trying to figure out how you used the boomerang to kill the knight at 3:57. I can never throw it at that guy in that direction while facing down the stairs.
I can only dream of beating Death like with such ease. I absolutely can't deal with him.
amazing job !!!
Simon belmont finally in smash bros. is going to be sick.
This is inspirational
Shout outs to ethan being free as fk at this game.
GG not too bad
shit this player doing so perfectly awesome
Excellent video. Is there a way that you upload it again at 4K 60fps?
looks like you are using a turbo button...
Amazing
At ALL games, not just this one. REMEMBER THE EDUN EMBLEM!
You made that look easy
I tried to push the Start Key
Hello and sorry, but what's a TAS playthrough? Which places did you find were close? Often there's a trick involved that forces the computer to behave in certain ways (most famous being the bats in the last level), maybe I can point them out to you. Lots of them are useful even in other kinds of playthrough!
thinking most people found out the hard way the time-stop watch doesn't work on any bosses past Medusa. Only thing is I think the player uses some kind of glitch to kill the mummies so fast, could that be considered cheating?

The hit boxes basically double up for each when their paths cross, enabling a ton of damage in a very short amount of time.
Im playing this on an emulator site and Dracula V2 here is NOTHING like the version im playing. 1: It takes more than 2 whip hits to drop an HP point from him. 2: There is no fucking way Simon can run under him. He doesn't jump high enough and I end up running into his legs. I know this game is legendary for it's difficulty, but I even had the holy water, and I thought I lucked out when I picked up an X2 from one of Drac 2's fireball projectiles. Guess what? Even spamming him with holy water at twice the speed to stun him, and he still let loose with the fireballs and killed me. Which brings up another question, why isn't he using his projectiles in this playthrough video? I thought I was playing a direct portr of the original NES game but something is definitely off here. Also, the zombies in level 1 that I have been facing, are blue skinned with white cloth. Not the pink guys in this version. Edit: Just beat this fucker. I lucked out and picked up another 2x for the Holy Water. Just spammed the shit out of it and my trigger thumb was cramping up trying not to give that bastard Dracula V2 one second of attack time.
I couldn't even get passed the first stupid boss >X3

Subscirbe because you didn't do the Mystic Water/ Triple Shot combo on Death, Which is the only way I survived.

My guess is that they did that to pay homage to the classic books and movies w/out asking for or getting a copyright or something. They're all plays on famous people involved. www.gamefaqs.com/boards/578318-castlevania/51699461

Your claim to have gotten all the secrets is false. You missed no less than 3 secrets. From looking at your strategies and movements I got the feeling that you were using save states as well. Missed secrets are 6:22 14:10 15:47
