  • Anticlimax Boss: While the first form of Dracula is insanely tough, his second phase is a joke--he merely hops around, trying to crush you, while you can basically whip him into submission quite quickly.
  • Game Breaker: Holy Water can freeze most enemies in their tracks. You can abuse this with the Triple Shot item, allowing you to take down even Death with ease.
  • Goddamn Bats: And Medusa Heads, and Ravens, and Fleamen.
    • Stage 16 (the start of the 6th area) has Goddamned Giant Bats.
  • Porting Disaster: The three home versions produced in 1990 are inferior to the original in several respects. The Amiga version, at least, gave us the great theme "Ecran Titre".
  • That One Boss: The Frankstein Monster and Igor according to some, the Grim Reaper according to others.
  • That One Level: Stage fifteen (block 5-3). Hello, excruciatingly long and difficult hallway filled to the brim with ultra-resilient axe knights and swarms and swarms of medusa heads. Hello, Grim Reaper. Goodbye, sanity.
