The second Castlevania title released on Nintendo DS after Dawn of Sorrow, this game is a direct sequel to Bloodlines on Sega Genesis. Dracula rises from the dead yet again (cue groan), and it's up to Jonathan Morris, helped out by Charlotte Aulin, a powerful mage student, to defeat him.
This run is an improvement of 14.06 seconds over the previous run by the same author and uses many of the same glitches. Yet another slightly different route selection as well as better optimisation sends Dracula back to his coffin even faster.

This time, mtbRc fully completes every single map (amounting to 1000% in total, and is therefore considered full completion), defeats all bosses and completes the game in record time.

Beating Dracula into a pile of dust in under five minutes wasn't enough for our heroes, so this time they wreck his entire castle and surrounding areas before killing him. Every boss is slain, so you get to see more of that fast "showtime" action. Significant glitching is used; read the author's comments for more information.
Like many Castlevania games, Portrait of Ruin has extra alternate play modes available after completing the primary quest. In this case, you get to play as Richter Belmont and Maria Renard, using a dual character system very similar to the main quest.
mtbRc improves his previous movie by 29.15 seconds, thanks to better overall optimisation and the usage of the sliding tackle.
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin is an action platformer for the Nintendo DS that's part of the Castlevania series. It takes place some time after Castlevania: Blloodlines, where Jonathan Morris, son of John Morris from that game, teams up with his childhood friend Charlotte Aulin to confront the new owner of Castlevania, Brauner, who has been causing trouble in the absence of Dracula. Unique to this game in this series is a tag-team system where you can switch between two characters during gameplay, with both characters having their own strengths and weaknesses.
In this run, Fortranm chooses to play "Sisters" mode, where you play as twin sisters Loretta and Stella in their attempt to rescue their father from Brauner, and exploits a stat data transfer glitch max out the sisters' stats in order to complete the game as fast as possible.
Like many Castlevania games, Portrait of Ruin has extra alternate play modes available after completing the primary quest. In this case, you get to play as the Old Axe Armor, a character unlocked after defeating 1000 old axe armors in the main game mode.
mtbRc defeats Dracula in this mode in record time.
The baseline tab shows the default movie beating the game as fast as possible without any special conditions.
