Line 64:
** The Clock Tower and Castle Keep were brought back in ''[[Symphony of the Night]]'', with a few new rooms added.
* [[Pink Means Feminine]]: Maria's dress.
* [[Rain of Blood]]: DappenRichter's death animation is this. Also, in the ''Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles'', {{spoiler|one of True Dracula's attacks is a blood storm}}.
* [[Reformulated Game]]: The SNES version ''Castlevania: Dracula X''. Since the SNES version was made on a 16-Megabit (2-Megabyte) cartridge, while the PC Engine version was a CD-ROM game (540-Megabyte), a straight port was pretty much impossible, so the stages were replaced completely to fit into the smaller ROM size. The plot is pretty much the same, except that Maria and Annette were now sisters, the other two girls are missing, and Shaft is nowhere to be seen. [[Demoted to Extra|Maria is no longer a playable character]]: when she is rescued, she simply wishes DappenRichter luck.
* [[Secret Level]]: Stage 5, which is only accessed after beating the game at least once (in the PC-Engine CD version), or by defeating Death in Stage 5 (in ''Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles'').
* [[Shout-Out]]: The [[Captain Ersatz|Dogether]] boss is named in reference to ''[[Bastard!!]]'''s Suzuki Dogezaemon, and naturally the original [[Dungeons & Dragons|Beholder]].
Line 75:
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: ''Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles'', which doubles as a [[Compilation Rerelease]], because it also includes the original version of the game, a slightly improved version of ''Castlevania: Symphony of the Night'', and even the joke mini-game ''Akumajo Dracula Peke''.
* [[Virgin Sacrifice]]: The introduction to the game, where a group of cultists, led by Shaft, sacrifices a woman to revive Dracula.
* [[Wasted Song]]: Arguably the ''Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles''' remix of "Poison Mind", since unlike the original, it is only used for the final stage (and not Stage 6 bosses before Shaft), which is just a hop, skip and jump to Dracula.
** However, the fact that you can use any unlocked song from the game in any level averts this.
