''[[Castlevania]]: Rondo of Blood'' (originally released in Japan as ''Akumajō Dracula X: Chi no Rondo'') was released for the [[Turbo Grafx TurboGrafx-16|PC-Engine]] Super CD-ROM-ROM in 1993. Initially, [[No Export for You|it was only released in Japan]] but was finally ported to the [[Play Station Portable]] with ''[[Video Game Remake|Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles]]'', and subsequently to the Wii [[Virtual Console]].
 
In 1792, the evil priest Shaft resurrects Dracula. In a [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|rare flash of brilliance,]] Dracula immediately attacks the current Belmont's hometown and tries to kill him right off the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|bat.]] Richter Belmont was luckily out of town training. So, Dracula goes for plan B: [[I Have Your Wife|kidnap Richter's fianceé Annette]], a distant relative of the Belmont Clan named Maria, and two other villagers.
Line 24:
* [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!]]: If you've been playing as Maria for a while and switch to Richter, there's a good chance you'll back-flip off a cliff or into an enemy at least once while attempting to double-jump.
** If you started playing Richter in ''[[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night|Symphony of the Night]]'', he's going to seem a LOT slower and clumsier here.
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: Iris, Terra, Annette, and Maria Renard, the last of whom later [[Took a Level In Badass]] as she becomes a playable hero after you rescue her.
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]: Richter wears ''one'', just to handle his whip.
* [[Flawless Victory]]: If you defeat a boss with a full life bar, you receive an extra life. You can get hit during the level, so long as you find some food to refill your lifebar before the stage is over.
Line 52:
* [[Mana Burn]]: During the Carmilla Boss Fight, her assistant Laura will [[Personal Space Invader|grab you]] and drain your Hearts. For Richter, this attack looks like a [[Kiss of Death]], but on the shorter Maria, it looks more like [[Marshmallow Hell]].
* [[Motionless Chin]]: Appears in the animated cutscenes; most prominent in Richter's ending.
* [[Multiple Endings]]: How the story ends depends on whether you save any or all of the [[Distressed Damsel in Distress|Distressed Damsels]] from the evil clutches of Dracula.
** In Dracula X Chronicles, you need to save both Iris and Terra in order to save Annette! If you do not save all of them, sorry, [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]]. If you do, [[Everyone Lives]] [[Happily Ever After]] before the [[Symphony of the Night]] comes -- at least those who survived the events. Maria is not required to get a good ending. If you don't save her, she won't appear in the ending shot.
* [[Nerf]]: In ''Dracula X Chronicles'', subweapons and item crashes do much less damage.
