''This is the article for the arcade video game Haunted Castle. For the trope of the same name, click [[Haunted Castle|here]].''
The first arcade-only game in the [[Castlevania]] series. It is yet another retelling of Simon Belmont's original adventure against Dracula, but there are quite a few unusual features in this game that never got reused:
Line 7 ⟶ 9:
* Simon is actually out to save his [[Damsel in Distress]] wife, Serena, in this game, whereas he's just saving the world in general in the other versions of this story.
There's been a recent trend toward reusing the mostly unique music from this game in other Castlevania games--"Don't Wait Until Night" was featured (in a double remix) in ''[[Aria of Sorrow]]'', "Underground Melody" in ''[[Dawn of Sorrow]]'', and "Cross Your Heart" (labeled as "Crucifix Held Close") in ''[[Portrait of Ruin]]''.

* [[Awesome Yet Practical]]: The [[Time Stands Still|pocketwatch]]. In other ''Castlevania'' games, it typically costs a whopping five hearts to use. In this game, it costs ''two.''
* [[Cartoon Bomb]]: One of the subweapons.
