Line 7:
** ''[[Castlevania III Draculas Curse (Video Game)|Dracula's Curse]]'': Your first fight him as himself, he switches into a giant, floating, disembodied, many-faced BRAIN (that drips acid, to boot!), and finally a huge laser-spewing demon.
** ''[[Castlevania Bloodlines (Video Game)|Bloodlines]]'': First his basic form, then a sort of fireball-throwing magician, and then a demon with a face on his torso, [[Devilman]]-style.
*** To clarify, Drac's "second form" isn't actually Drac; it's really his [[Wicked Witch]] [[The Dragon|Dragon]] (well, for ''Bloodlines'', anyway). The English version erroneously labeled this separate character as Dracula. Same thing in that game with the Dark Lord's [[
** And just when fans are getting bored with this, ''[[Castlevania Order of Ecclesia (Video Game)|Order of Ecclesia]]'' gives us a Dracula who, after being defeated, simply shrugs it off and starts simply ''walking towards you'' instead of standing in one place, occasionally teleporting like most encounters.
*** This version of Dracula is easily the scariest. He doesn't need some giant bat form! HE WILL CALMLY WALK OVER TO YOU AND PIMPSLAP YOUR FACE OFF. And if you try to jump over him, he'll pimpslap you. If you try to fly, he'll pimplazerslap you.
Line 18:
== [[Castlevania Symphony of the Night (Video Game)|Symphony of the Night]] ==
* ''[[Castlevania Symphony of the Night (Video Game)|Symphony of the Night]]'' has the final fight with Dracula and Alucard. It's not really the difficulty of the fight so much as the preceding [[I Hate You, Vampire Dad|dialogue between father and son]] and the rather heartbreaking [[What Have I Done]] by Dracula after he's defeated.
* The miniboss fight with Fake [[Castlevania III Draculas Curse (Video Game)|Trevor, Sypha, and Grant]] is extremely enjoyable, despite being a very short fight.
* If you don't cheese him out with a certain subweapon, the second Doppelganger fight is pretty freakin' intense. For even more fun, get rid of your cloak and familiar so that you're a perfect visual match.
Line 27:
* {{spoiler|Julius Belmont}} in the good ending. He knows every single {{spoiler|Belmont}} trick, does not hesitate to use said tricks, and is nightmarishly difficult--and then starts using subweapons! Far more satisfying than the final boss. And he has [[Crowning Music of Awesome|awesome]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiSo9yL59Pw&fmt=18 theme music].
** And look closely when he's {{spoiler|performing [[Limit Break|Grand Cross]]}}. The might of the attack is so powerful that it not only draws in Soma like a mini black hole, but when unleashed, it causes the castle in the background to start ''crumbling''.
* Fighting, of all things, {{spoiler|[[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|Chaos]]}} in the true ending.
** In that same vein, {{spoiler|Graham}} has the same effect.
* [[Background Boss|Balore]]. You enter the boss room in the arena level and is greeted by the Giant Bat, a standard boss in ''[[Castlevania 1986 (Video Game)|Castlevania 1986]]''. Suddenly a GIANT HAND comes out of nowhere and crushes the bat, and an [[Evil Laugh]] is heard as Balore fades in from the background while a different boss battle music starts to play. Totally unexpected and an epic boss battle.
Line 44:
* {{spoiler|Dark Lord Soma}} in Julius Mode is pure, classic Dracula. And the fight is accompanied by [[Crowning Music of Awesome|Illusionary Dance]].
** Except he surprises you by {{spoiler|pulling out a Gaibon familiar and Great Axe Armor's attack rather than Dracula's traditional fireballs. Then when he transforms into the monster from Rondo of Blood/Symphony of the Night, he gets a Harpy familiar, then will use Aguni, Larva and Abbadon.}}
* Zephyr from the Clock Tower. You are facing none other than ''Castlevania'''s answer to '''[[Jo
== [[Castlevania Order of Ecclesia (Video Game)|Order of Ecclesia]] ==
* Fighting {{spoiler|Barlowe}}. Probably partly for the {{spoiler|Treacherous Advisor part of it}}...
* The Dracula battle is pretty awesome... if just because he's [[That One Boss]] ''without ever going [[One
* {{spoiler|Albus}}, who is probably the only guy in the series besides Soma to use a gun, making this fight unique and interesting. In fact, it gets even better when you fight him as {{spoiler|Albus}}... And the boss uses the same quotes, which make it hilarious when you realise he's addressing the ''wrong person'', but when you discover that the flaming kick attack is his weakness, flaming kick duels ensue. Think [[One Piece (Manga)|Sanji]] fighting himself with his legs on fire. Awesome.
* The [[Giant Enemy Crab]] should deserve a mention -- how many other games let you smash a crab with an ''elevator''? Coupled with that boss being a major [[Wake Up Call Boss]] to a degree, it makes the ending soooo much more satisfying.
** What Shanoa says makes that ending even MORE satisfying. [[Pre
* Eligor ''deserves'' a spot here. It's a [[Ninja Pirate Robot Zombie|Giant Robot Centaur Demon]] with a giant sword and ballistae on it's hips. Giant as in several stories tall. The fight is a [[Colossus Climb]] of epic proportions where you have to take out the knees and ballistae before you go for the head while it very effectively tries to swat you off. Also, it is [[Nintendo Hard|hard]]. Really [[That One Boss|hard]].
* Blackmore. This guy greets you smarmily, before fighting you with his own '''gigantic shadow'''. And this shadow is shaped like a '''WOLF'''. Blackmore controlls the wolf-shadow by dancing and likes to use this big black laser move on you. By now you have Nitesco, a very effect glyph that also manifests as a laser. Mega-awesome laser fight ensues.
