Line 20:
* [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts]]: Vincent is ''incredibly'' ungrateful for Charlotte rescuing him from vampirism. It doesn't even affect the ending, let alone reduce his prices for items.
** Actually, no. There ''is'' a minor change in the ending (Vincent says something along the lines of "I haven't been cured yet!" instead of "Hey! I'm right here!")
* [[American Kirby Is Hardcore]]: Interestingly, Eric {{spoiler|AKA Wind}} looks closer to how he did in the US version of ''Bloodlines'' than the original and PAL ones ([https://web.archive.org/web/20141103021256/http://www.castlevaniadungeon.net/Gamesgames/cvbforeign.html see here] {{spoiler|[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/2/23/Wind_from_Website.JPG and here]}}). This is probably the result of him being 27 years older in ''Portrait of Ruin.''
* [[And Now for Something Completely Different]]: The basic exploratory nature of the [[Metroidvania]] titles remains the same, except that now you can enter paintings with their own mini-world levels in them. Some of the paintings depict settings that just don't normally occur in Castlevania, such as a massive underground pyramid full of Egyptian mummies, a twisted war-torn carnival of the damned, or an early 20th Century European city.
* [[Art Attacker]]: Brauner. When you fight him, he paints on an easel with blood, making a pattern on the screen that damages you when you touch it. He also uses [[Art Initiates Life]] to summon monsters by painting them.
Line 146:
** The Stellar Sword, once owned by [[Harmony of Dissonance|Maxim]], which is one of the last quest rewards. It's pretty good!
* [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]]: Charlotte's wedding dress and engagement ring, especially if paired up with Jon's tuxedo suit... You know what it means...
** This [https://web.archive.org/web/20131113122627/http://kukaiseki.pupu.jp/picture/cv/cv45.html art] naturally takes this up to the logical conclusion.
** In fact, Jon and Charlotte's adventure as an opposite-sex duet (also a reason that this Castlevania game is [[Lighter and Softer]]) already gives both a hint and a feel of romance - especially given that they are close childhood friends.
* [[Sword and Sorcerer]]: Two pairs of this actually; Johnathan and Stella as fighters and Charlotte and Loretta as witches.
