Topic: It may be new to you! (it's new to me! Castlevania FDS Hidden Staircase Room)

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

So when you play Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, you know that there's a hidden Staircase at the Castle Keep.
You also probably know there's a hidden platform in Super Castlevania IV near that same staircase.
And you probably know about the secrets in Castlevania 64/LoD around those same areas.

But what I did not know is that these areas around the Keep may be a reference to an old glitch present in early versions of the Castlevania/Akumajo Dracula Famicom Disk System version (FDS).
Observe!
Akumajou Dracula (Castlevania) bug : .......air staircase in final Boss state.. ?

I'm still learning stuff about CV!

Well I'll be, nice find Jorge.

[GuyStarwind]

Yeah you can see where the influence came from. That's fun.

OMG! Wow great find Jorge.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Yay! Other people also did not know!

Too cool. Hadn't seen this before. I have to laugh at how I would have felt if I'd gotten a glitch like this the first time I made it to Dracula. The mix of alarm and anger is palpable lol.

[Abnormal Freak]

This is the first time I even knew Rondo had an invisible staircase, lol. I always figured there had to be a way to get up there, since you can in SOTN's prolog, but never bothered to find out if that was so.

I wonder if this works on the Virtual Console version of Akumajo Dracula?

[Harrycombs]

I also didn't know you could get up there in Rondo. What exactly causes this glitch to happen? I wonder how common it is for people to find this.

Nice!  I haven't played SCV in years though so I don't remember it...and I don't think I know of any secrets in LoD...what's there?
