Amazing soundtrack in this game.

[@runitback5066]

Robert Dukarm Absolutely!

[@Judgementxxx]

One of the best.

[@ctrlaltdestroy91]

The double combo of Dracula's Theme followed by Simon's Theme in the final fight has always been one of the best musical moments in the entire franchise.

[@bobo577]

Definitely very good.

[@davy_K]

You said it.....I have it on vinyl!!! I absolutely love this game.

[@TheUnapologeticGeek]

“Such a relief to get that wall meat” is a sentence I didn’t expect to hear this week.

[@lankymaccrazyhair264]

as a casual player, my heart can't handle this run

[@Temaran]

"Traditional wall meat" sounds like a tantalizing recipe to me :3

[@DragonNexus]

Traditional artisanal gormet wall meat.

[@megakidicarus4647]

It's always a wonderful treat to see puwexil.

[@NickLandio]

Back even we could have a live audience... Good times.

[@Heartache2491]

The best Castlevania game of them all! And my first one when I got into the series last year! Love it and this run ❤

[@OrionAltHist]

It def is but it's really hard.

[@pprinter]

@@OrionAltHist if you think 4 is hard then try 3

[@OrionAltHist]

@@pprinter 4's last few stages are still difficult but nowhere near as brutal as some areas from, say, Bloodlines or 3. Also the US version in particular of 3 was apparently made much more difficult than the Japanese one (e.g. removed checkpoint before Dracula, some enemies take more hits to kill, you take more damage, and there's some slightly different level design.)

[@TheBigFrasier]

Trying to get better at this game casually. Watching this was legit a good help

[@TheRandomGuyTheFarNoGameCat]

Great couch and runner. 10/10, would watch again

[@jimmanquer1632]

Brutal speed run,one of the best i ever saw O_O

[@shonofwar]

His stage A-1 was damn impressive. Great job sir!

[@martinzuniga6605]

Very good job at commentating! I learned a lot just by listening

[@WanderingMindSR]

Amazing run, great to see you on stage, Joe

[@IncessantWake]

in 1991 I was a kid who watched his older brother play this game. The rotating castle and the twisting tower graphically blew my mind. I never seen graphics like that in those days. It was revolutionary graphical fidelity.

[@jonsquirrel3661]

I own Castlevania Anniversary collection on my switch and Super Castlevania 4 is my personal favorite out the entire series

[@OrionAltHist]

It's a really amazing game. It also has some great graphics and music.

[@raymondrufa971]

Well done young man! Enjoyed watching 😀

[@housebrosgaming]

So...much...clenching during this run. Awesome!

[@joshbrekke6374]

Great Run, so many well timed tricks I really love to see as a casual player since the game came out. I’m definitely inspired, thank you!
I see you left yourself a lil room for improvements, however not much. 😉

[@Sistik123]

Missed the last 2 years of GDQ :( Looking forward to the winter one.

[@cherokeefit4248]

I’m happy to own three carts that are authentic of this game. Truly a masterpiece and amongst my favourite top ten video game of all times on all the systems and arcades

[@oNeHanDGuN]

one of the hardest game that i never finished lol..too hard for me..GG runner

[@kamikaze4172]

I've seen runs for this game on normal. This is from years ago, and some of the jumps are scaring me

[@crithon]

i had no idea there's a hard mode.

[@jonathanbeshansky4932]

You access it after beating the game the first time and you start off at the beginning of the game. After the credits roll, it starts automatically on hard mode.

[@christhompson4961]

What controller was he using ?

[@NeoLotex]

I never realized how "long" Castlevania IV really is. I don't think I ever really got past the dancing ghosts boss.

[@sendystimac123]

I remember coming to dracula and died the first time then spawned in front of the stairs, I jumped because I wanted to die and get the password so I can go to sleep but I jumped on the invisible floor and wondered wtf, hearts start to fall all of the sudden wtf I couldn't believe it, I love that game the same way I loved it back then

[@legendairycheese8232]

Fuck those swinging lights. I always hated that part.

[@Thrashman138]

Triples is best.

[@matthewrichards4078]

It was ok, 7.5 out of 10 super hearts.

[@KryptKicker5]

I thought the game WAS hard mode :(

[@OrionAltHist]

Well, it's already very difficult in "normal" mode. Hard mode is like _really_ hard mode
