Title: Castlevania Glitches
Post by: Gimph on July 04, 2008, 05:02:24 PM
I just got a crazy glitch in Aria of Sorrow, and I skipped half the game. I killed the first two bosses, then warped to the chaos realm and fought Julius!

Anyone else know any Castlevania glitches?

Wow, that's pretty bad, man. Never heard of something like skipping half the game. Hopefully your cart or gameboy isn't damaged.

I never found a single glitch in AOS.

POR is a whole other story.

I managed to glitch AoS on my first playthrough.

That's pretty easy sequence breaking, no glitching. This trick is used in every AoS speedrun. You can also skip flying armor by doing a backdash and jumping, which is only needed at one point in the game.

I had the Mantichore/Curly/Devil-glitch in the chapel once, without knowing it. You know, the one where soma has completely white sprites.

one of the most annoying Castlevania Glitches is in Simons quest, where something if you whip as your falling off a ledge, you'll fall through the platform below and into an invisable lake, thus costing you a life.



a worthless glitch in Castlevania I, using the same principle and a hit knocking you up to a platform above you, happens in stage 4-3. a dragon will knock you up above the ceiling, not worth trying since it will cost you a quarter of your health.

My game is a little screwed up, it freezes a little and sometimes, when I teleport using the glitch, it makes a weird clicking sound and the screen goes black.

Besides that, it's okay. ;D

Perhaps you have a bootleg copy? I've had the misfortune of purchasing several in the past, and they all ended up being pretty buggy (and having trashy save batteries...).

Luckily though, I eventually managed to purchase the Castlevania Double Pack at a Gamestop, on the same visit that I was returning a copy of SotN that just wouldn't play, even after I got the numerous scratches buffed out. I guess I was hoping for a little too much after realizing that the case it came with smelled like a forest fire...

I tell you, that was a weird week.

Yeah, I have a double pack too. It's usually fine, but that glitch messed it up. It never messes up in Harmony of Dissonance though. I have yet to find a good glitch for that game. Those two are my favorite Castlevania side scrollers. It's awesome having both on one game pack.

I just discovered something amazing! In Castlevania 64 or Legacy of Darkness, if you have magic nitro with you, you save it, and start a new game, your character will still be carrying magic nitro with them when you start the game! Of course, it's impossible to beat the game like that, but it's still pretty cool.

I don't think that's a glitch your explaning; that's SQ's ridiculous fake tiles strewn about the mansions.

no, it is a glitch. I know where all the fake floors are
(there are 4 spots, to be exact, and none of them are over water)

Is this as you're falling while it slows down?

What are the four spots you experience this, exactly?

Just another example of Simon's Quest's loose programming.

Yeah Castlevania 2 doesn't have the best collision detection.

Yeah, Aria of Sorrow had a lot of really bad glitches like that. I killed Julius at level 4, haha. That's the lowest level possible, considering you have to kill 3 bosses to get there even with the glitch.

no, it's a glitch and is very helpful with speedruns. All's you have to do is fall of a ledge and whip at the same time land and you'll go right through the platform, kicks ass especially at uber annoying points in the game cuz you can just go under the enemies that are giving you problems.

woah! you can actually jump that ledge and do the last two mansions first!?

Yeah it's not impossible to get though; you just can't get it by any normal means.

Haha, speaking of glitches, I just found a great Zelda glitch. In Kakariko Village, in the windmill, there's a chicken. I equipped hover boots, grabbed the chicken, and flew OVER the wooden fence near the windmill. Unfortunately, I fell into a black hole type thing into the ground, and had to reset my game.

There are many things like this. You can climb up the death mountain and you can go behind the castle. There is invisible water there. :3

How the heck do you do that? Sounds awesome. I love N64 games, they're so glitchy!

Not a glitch...jump into the water, turn to wolf, and hold triangle to swim up to the ceiling.
