Castlevania Chronicles is a remake of Akumajou Dracula for Sharp X68000. Simon Belmont will defeat Dracula again.
I did the run in hard level and choose arrange mode, in original mode the hero will lose more HP when he takes damage, arrange mode is more suitable for take damage as timesaver.
I used stopwatch for level 1 boss fight, the subweapon only effective on the boss. In some area, I manipulated enemies' movement. I also found a trick that the hero could use subweapon with less attack animation if he jumps and whips twice before. In addition, not too much to describe.

klmz: The author neglected a time saver, which does not undermine the value of this quality movie that the audience appriciate. We accept it.

Hi, At 10:48 at the beginning of stage 12 you kill a bat coming towards you. In the original Sharp X68k you can jump on the bat, take a hit and land on the plateform above to directly go upstairs. If it's still possible on this version, you should be able to save about 20 seconds.
No, because you don't fly backwards like you can in other "Simon" games. Plus the bat is WAY too fast to even attempt it on Hard. Plus you don't boost though the floors (like the original CV).
Taking over the world, one game at a time. Currently TASing: Nothing
