#38. Super Castlevania IV: This game is what I consider to be the best platformer Castlevania. Simon Belmont is back to kick Dracula's ass once again. Armed with a whip and the classic sub-weapon you make your way to Dracula's castle.
The gameplay is excellent (being able to swing your whip around is sweet!), the levels are varied and although not as hard as the NES games they are still very unforgiving (Stage 8 comes to mind). The incredible music adds to the atmosphere and never ceases to amaze me.
Signature goes here!
