Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse is the story of Trevor Belmont's battle against Dracula from the times before Simon's battle in Castlevania. In this complex and difficult game, there are three playable allies whom Trevor can recruit: Alucard (Dracula's son), Grant DaNasty (a pirate captain), and Sypha Belnades (a mystic warlord).
Unlike those other runs, which are played by recruiting Grant, Alucard or Sypha, this run has been completed with only Ralph Belmont. The methods of passing Stage 1, Stage 3 and the battle of Dracula are the same as the Samhain-Grim version.

feos: The previous submission was rejected for suboptimal play and for poor goal choice. This movie has better optimization, but it still has issues highlighted by scrimpeh.
Most importantly, this category/goal still doesn't offer enough unique entertaining gameplay to become yet another branch of Castlevania 3. It technically does have some differences from other branches, but not enough viewer support, which is a basic requirement for extra branches not acceptable for the Standard class.
Rejecting for goal choice and not up-to-date optimization.
DancemaniaLover, new movies of this branch will also be rejected! Try improving an existing published branch, but also keep in mind the techniques mentioned by scrimpeh in the thread.
