Castlevania Legends was originally intended to be the origin story of the Belmont clan. The game is about Sonia Belmont in her fight against Dracula. However, this story has been removed from the official time line by IGA.
This run aims for 100% completion by acquiring the 5 "Belmont Treasures" (Axe, Pocket Watch, Dagger, Holy Water, and Cross). Getting all 5 unlocked a special ending, viewable after the credits are completed.
In comparison to the other Castlevanias for the Game Boy, there are several changes in how the game is played:
- Sonia is a woman. ZOMG! A FEMALE BELMONT?! UNHEARD OF! (Though she grunts awfully deep...)
- There is no scorekeeping, a rarity in the traditional Castlevania style.
- Sonia has an ability called "Burning Mode". This makes her temporarily invincible and also increases her horizontal running speed. However, it can only be used once per level/life. Also, when executed, it can not be halted.
- When you take damage, your whip power doesn't go down.
- You can get up to 5 Soul Powers, which are selectable from a special menu (the last one can be skipped, if you avoid the hidden level).
- Super Game Boy mode is supported, and is used in this run.
Since Burning Mode is refilled if you die, I take a purposeful death in Stage 4 so I can use Burning Mode on both Medusa and Alucard.
Because there is no score tally, I do not manage my heart count until the end of the game, where I beat it with 0 hearts left.
