Skeletons on motorcycles does seem strange, but if you play as carrie, you'll go through an area called the tower of science it's got auto turret guns, conveyor belts, creatures in huge test tubes. A lot of lore/concepts within other titles show that dracula is a man of science/knowledge. His technology and knowledge is far ahead of society. I mean typical cop out kind of thing, but that explains them. I generally don't stop to explain things in comments like a try hard, but my love for the franchise gets me more than a little hyped when people wonder about it.
Growing up in a low income household you took what you got and this game was on sale when I got it as one of my 4 games total. It was greatly underrated.
I traded at kid Biofreaks for Mystical Ninja at a trailer park once, I didn't have a memory card so I had to beat Mystical Ninja without turning the power off on the N64. Was on the space level and the power flickered, rip.
@@omegafreddy12 i got softlocked. never went back to the game. but I probably should! right after i can freakin figure out how to get past the cemetery/church in shadowgate 64.
I remember playing and beating this game. If you buy too many items from the merchant, the merchant becomes a boss that you have to fight before Dracula.
That’s a really cool concept for horror-themed games. Although it makes me think of the asshole shop owner from Spelunky who shoots to kill if you take any items without paying, or accidentally set a bomb off or kill an enemy too close to his store. I really hate that guy.
The game has some pretty neat alternate scenarios, like if you buy too much from the demon or use too many time change cards. Vincent will go to sleep at the wrong time and you fight him as a vampire. Love this series!
The funny thing about the motorcycle skeleton is that Dawn of Sorrow, the last Castlevania chronologically (it happens in 2036), barely has any modern/futuristic stuff, the developers just know that those things feel out of place in these games, you're still using swords, holy powers and magic.
One thing I love about N64 era games like these is the aesthetic, I love the fonts used , the occult imagery, the enemies, the music, etc. Games like this, Heretic/Hexen, Shadow Man, Blood, Gauntlet Legends, Powerslave, Quake, Diablo 1& 2, games don't look or feel like this anymore. The closest thing to this in 2022 is mods like Bloom. I miss dark fantasy games of the 90's!
Renon: Hey I'm a fallen angel of god, I came up from the bowels of the underworld to offer you some roasted meat out of my briefcase. Reinhart: sure, nothing suspicious here.
This one's my favorite N64 game. Love every bit of it, even the slowdown when too many enemies spawn Running away from a horde of skeletons all traveling in slow motion is great because it's funny every single time
@@keyamazed1038 Honestly not too bad, it’s just super basic but it has some fun elements. The battle system is awesome, cool environments and it’s got an old school appeal. I almost think of it like a 3D version of something like the first Dragon Quest. The GBC Quest game actually has a story and it’s better, not great or anything but worth a play through.
This is one of those games that has a reputation for being bad and was nice to hear Thab speak somewhat positively about it. I had this game as a kid and the Frankenstein chainsaw dude in the maze really terrified me, I wrote about him in lots of "spooky stories" at School
I’ve enjoyed going back and watching all of your installments. This is the first one I’ve noticed your edit profile coming in to talk, I really enjoyed that!
I really like what you're doing with this channel. It's a fun way to relive my childhood. I never actually played a lot of these games, but I remember seeing the boxes at the store or playing a demo. I actually kind of like Castlevania 64, but I do remember having a lot of trouble getting into it. It definitely helps to play Carrie and to look up a strategy in some of the really frustrating parts.
Your videos are the perfect thing to wind down to after a stressful day, they also take me back to much simpler times. You're chill man. I appreciate the content.
A comment about the music on this game: since the game's world is "open" (not in the strict modern sense), having a same tune for an area would be kinda redundant and terrible after a while since you use a lot of time going back and forth in the same place until you solve all the puzzles and move into the boss. So, more than the N64 not being capable of good sound (the very intro of this game is proof that is not, or just listen to F-Zero X's OST too), is it more of a choice from the devs. This game is very atmospheric. It might not seem like it now, but back when it came out: it was the first Castlevania to be in 3D, so it had large open areas, you could scout other areas through windows or gratings, some rooms on the inside of the castle made sense (even to the point of being empty), the garden maze is actually a small maze where you're constantly being hounded by enemies, there's a day/night cycle, etc... this game has a lot more going on than people are willing to give credit for. But I'm glad you went around finishing it for this challenge. I'm seeing every video and loving it!
Each character gets three unique levels to themselves. Personally, I like all three of Carries unique levels more, but I find her too easy. The (good) ending is also different between the characters and two of the bosses are different too. It's definitely worth playing the game with each character IMO
everyone always says mario party will make their hands hurt. this games platforming literally cut my palm open. but I thought it was great the sequel is even better too
I am watching you beat every N64 game, and I mean all of them, the twist is the next video is randomly selected, so I have no clue what's coming next this is the journey to watching you beat every N64 game.
About the final form... quote: "His sobriquet Dracula (meaning “son of Dracul”) was derived from the Latin draco (“dragon”) after his father's induction into the Order of the Dragon."
Ive always really liked this game. High difficulty and controls are a bit wonky, but the aesthetic was super neat and the game still felt fun I know that a certain group of people get angry when you express fond feelings for the game, but if you enjoyed the game, dont let them bully you into believing you didn't
Oh my goodness yes! I hate when people peer pressure folks into acting like they enjoyed or didn't enjoy something because of a weirdly vocal, defensive group of fans.

Thab is asking the truly important questions in this video. So often, we hear about scientists questioning just what Pluto is, but how come no one is ever asking HOW Pluto is? Truly, our indifference is the height of cruelty.
14:35 Pluto is not a planet. It was, when the definition for “planet” described objects around this star that we call the sun. But as we learned of exoplanets, saw patterns in orbital behaviors and trajectories, the definition of “planet” was refined. Pluto’s trajectory, size, and much more about it disqualifies it from being a planet. However, the definition for “planet” may change again as we learn more about the cosmos. The thing is, nobody will have to change their idea of “planet.” It’s just something for the scientific community to use in order to know exactly what objects are being discussed.
I have only play the 3 nes castlevanias and this and I kinda like this one aswell. It was a well enough attempt to port the 2d castlevania to 3d but I think they stick to much to the formula and didn't notice some stuff don't translate very well, but still it was very enjoyble for me and also I like the lack of music and ambience it gives a very spooky vibe for the time
I remember renting this game for a week and beating it when it came out. I had to fight the salesmen as a mini boss at the end because I bought too many items from his shop.
3:20 "...it brought skeletons on motorcycles with it! Isn't it supposed to be the 19th century??" "It is!" **a rock band appears dressed up as vikings**
This is such a good series!!! It makes me think of when I was a kid, I wasn’t allowed to get a new game until I beat the game I just got. Except you have both the time, patience and skill to actually beat them 🤣.
Knowing that one of my favorite games of all time is symphony of the night, my cousin gave me this game way back in the day. I despised it, but to this day I don't know if the game was awful, if I disliked the 3d aspect of it or if symphony of the night was too good and just ruined it for me. Maybe all three.
Are you me? Sotn is my favorite of all time, and I ran through this game because fuck yeah Castlevania, but it wasn't very memorable. I think the only thing I remember about Castlevania 64 is the motorcycle fight and carrying around that nitro trying not to explode
This was my first Castlevania game I played, I liked it okay, but it didn't stick with me. I didn't play another Castlevania until Aria of Sorrow, and then I played them all.
Definitely all three. This game is notoriously and bafflingly bad, one of the games that had growing pains as developers learned how to make games in 3d.

I got so frustrated on that part that I gave up and bought Final Fantasy 8 that weekend and never played Castlevania 64 again even though I loved the Castlevania series.
Haha homeowner’s association. Not only does Drac need better servants to clean the blood off his spikes and guillotines, seems like a waste of blood if you’re a vampire.
Jeez dude that ox thing boss fight is some messed up shit. Gotta say that was one of the most unsettling things I've seen on the N64. It's easily overtaken that creepy turok 3 intro where the logo turns into the guts and organs or whatever it was. That always creeped me out even though I played some really messed up and violent games back as far as then.
It would have been awesome if when you saw Rosa smiling at you after defeating Dracula that out of nowhere her face changed into some vampire demonic form and jumped at you. Maybe you have to fight her or maybe she says just kidding and everyone laughs
9:30 Judging by the counter in the upper right corner... you never figured out secondary (thrown) weapons?? 10:30 Okay... you figured it out by this point
You're lucky you get to play this first, instead of Legacy of Darkness. It is the "director's cut" version of it, and there are more things there. Including a new main character with his own story. As a side note, Dracul is Latin for Dragon, so this is ironically the most accurate one.
It's funny, this game used to be infamous and considered basically the worst Castlevania ever until Castlevania 2 attracted a hate bandwagon in the late 2000s. One of my best online chatroom buddies had this as his personal favorite Castlevania game.
OG Castlevania 64 is pretty bad nowadays, but I recently played Legacy of Darkness with all characters and I still believe it holds up - A lot of levels were redesigned for the better (Clock Tower especially), camera felt much more competent, sliding is much faster and became a valid way of dodging attacks, there's more content and alternate costumes for the characters, subweapons could be upgraded for extra power....It's a big list of improvements, and they all felt very noticeable.
