Topic: Most incompetent of the series?

Didn't Snatcher have a line of dialogue about the stairs in Castlevania causing suicides?

[Pemburu Vampir]

Probably. LOL'd at "died by stairs".

The Answer is clear:
Castlevania (Commodore)
I once went down a set of stairs and died.  Died by stairs.

How on earth did that happen? As much as I'd like to say that it's the dumbest way to die in a video game, I've unfortunately heard dumber (Quest for Glory's sticking the lockpick up the nose and actually failing to use it counts as the dumbest death in my opinion).

haunted castle. a rock golem whose rock fist is completely impossible to dodge if fired at certain heights. it doesn't matter if you jump or crouch.
also the camera sometimes fails to keep up with you particularly in stage 4.
and there's a series of small rock platforms you're supposed to jump over to cross along some water and sometimes it will never rise high enough for you to jump to anywhere further, guaranteeing you'll die.
and then i can't stand simon's voice in this game: so crackled for a barbarian-looking guy.
