This game will forever live on as some of the greatest video game memories I have. Being 10 - 12 at the time playing this on my Gameboy Advance it was always difficult for me to pass the goat headed boss. My dad at the time had a good friend named, "Tom." When we went to visit him one day I found out he was fond of games. He inquired about what I was playing all the time and I told him. Even that I had some troubles. It may have been more than one attempt for him but I always remembered him beating it so fast. He helped me get past the boss as well as learn some game tactics. This ended up being one of the first games I finished to completion. A few years passed and one day I heard he died of cancer. It was sadly some time since I seen him and I didn't get to tell him I finished it. The experience I have with that man is this great game and I wanted to share how much this game really played a role in life for me.
My story isn't that heart breaking but I also connect good memories with this game. Going into the boss rooms, never knowing what kind of boss comes next and getting absolutely destroyed by every single one of them at least a couple of times because I was always underleveled when I found a new boss room. Ahhh. The good old days.
Man. For a GBA game this had excellent music. I remember as kid I'd revisit old stages JUST to listen to the music. Most of these tracks bring strong nostalgic feelings.
i heard about castlevania from symphony of the night reviews but my first actualy play was circle of the moon. both hocked me to a point i am planning to buying psp go to play it on handheld instead of pc emulator. and looking for the cartages in ebay's like website.
The first time I heard the menu theme (Requiem) I legit jumped in my seat. I never thought that such a sound could come from a GBA game. Still gives me chills to this day, and when I play it loudly on my cellphone, people still look at me like "whatchu watchin'?"
You know I actually love the entire soundtrack, and this track has an amazing start, but it's weird, I actually liked it less over time after hearing it constantly in-game lol.
Hell yeah this one and the into song when you fall down the pit are the ones I was looking for. The guitar strumming in this one with the flute like electronic sounds is so great.
This soundtrack ranks up there for me. I remember being a kid playing this game and feeling like the music was constantly playing on my emotions, as any good st should.
Everone has all but forgotten about the joys of the gameboy advance but this was one of my favorite and still is one of my favorite gameboy games only beaten by Prehistoricman now that was funner..... i think they should remake circle of the moon for the DS
Amazing game with an amazing soundtrack. Overlooked WAY too often. Favorites are Awake, Aquarius, Trick Manor, Clockwork and this is probably my favorite version of Illusionary Dance. But basically every track in this game is amazing in my opinion.
This OST was a great first introduction to the GBA. The GBA could already so much more than the old Gameboy, but adding this OST on top of it made it a really memorable experience.
This video needs a playlist with times, song names, and references to original games (in the case of remixes). And I love this game... Gonna play it again soon.
The best soundtrack of all GBA games I played. Thanks for posting this. My only gripe is the space between tracks. I keep thinking it's over and need to restart it!
This game is hard as fuck, especially if you explore the castle in the wrong order... I had bad memories about having my arse fucked in the Aquarium before getting the item to clean the water.
This game will always mean a lot to me... This was one of the first games I played after my brother left to live with our dad (our parents were divorced and I chose to stay with my mom when he went to stay with our dad) She was abusive and he wasn't, but during that time, this game kept me company. I cried a lot while playing it, and I felt like the characters even the villains were trying to console me XDDDDDDD lol I was 9 at the time. Sounds silly that this was 23 years ago, but Nathan Graves feels like a close friend never met but known. Idk lol laugh at me.
just a kid with a gameboy trying over and over again, the most similar thing to a guide back then were your friends telling you secrets about the games that sometimes were true and sometimes not, that was the best experience with videogames I ever had. Honestly I feel really lucky to be a kid in the 90s - early 2000s.
+John Freeman They're both great games. I personally liked COTM a little better as AOS offered no challenge, it was far too easy. I love both of them to death though.
***** It's the PROBLEM for me. No reason to farm in CoTM, but you MUST, because without specific combos for last bosses - it's really punches your ass! I've finished game first time with about 30% opened cards, last boss - BUTTHURT!
"Kyrie Eleison" (Lord, have mercy) is chill inducing. So good. ...although scriptural calls for "mercy" should really be more about the Lord being propitious towards us by recognizing the sacrifice of his Son, the spotless Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. [but I digress]
While many poeple complain about the limited screen size and resolution of the GBA I think it's most limiting facotr was it's soundchip. It was like really, really terrible. SO much more could have been done. This is one of the titles where a better soundchip certainly would have gotten it much further.
So sad they never rereleased Circle of the Moon. Nowadays the Battery that helps saving your game is Dry, you can change it easily, but it will erase any saved Data you have and eventually run Dry again... At least it is now on Xbox Store...

martín ojea Si, lo que mas me gusta de este castlevania era su ritmo frenetico, sus plataformas complejos, y su dificultad alta, a mi tambien me gusto el castlevania de ds, el que una maneja a shanoa(creo que haci se llamaba la protagonista) que ya no era en un castillo, si no por niveles que ibas desbloqueando, ojala sacaran mas castlevanias en 2D, pero de la konami actual es muy dificil que vuelvan a sacar otro. Lastima
basukerHD tengo entendido que konami habia dicho que los castlevania en 2d estan fuera de moda. Sobre el Castle que protagoniza shanoa es el order of eclessia. El mas dificil de los de DS. Pero me sigue gustando mas dawn of sorrow aunque es muy facil. Las melodias de los castle son a esta altura historicas y por suerte me quedan muchos metroidvanias por terminar. Este circle of the moon nunca me gusto y le volvi a dar otra oportunidad en este momento y lo estoy pariendo, muy muy dificil. Ah! aria of sorrow me parece excelente.
+basukerHD este es el primer castlevania que jugue por mi cuenta y que me acabe completo (solo me hizo falta llegar al nivel maximo que creo es 99), me gusto mas que harmony of dissonance, pero menos que el aria of sorrow mi humilde opinion :v
+Link2276 Creo que lo dices por la jugabilidad (bueno, tomando en cuenta también la historia y el ost, el ost de Aria of Sorrow es increíble!). Pero Harmony of Dissonance se me hacia muy lento y fastidioso al jugar, en cambo con Circle of the moon no fue así, luego con Aria of Sorrow fue genial! Todo fluía bien. La combinación de cartas es adictivo pero mi ambición estuvo más con el de coleccionar todas las almas de Aria of Sorrow xD
It's kinda funny, this game has only about 3 original tracks in it and the rest are remixes of old Castlevania songs, however I have never heard a remix in newer Castlevania games of those original songs
Gene Jost Yeah, definitely. Not enough people know about these games, I feel. I personally think they're better than the other JRPGs people tend to cite as "best of all time".

But then you find out the story isn’t considered cannon. Sad but it’s still a good game. First one I played

10:56 EPIC!
The beginning of the adventure
when I was playing again this jewel again, a couple of years ago, that bass was like, WTF sounds so fucking epic
You first have to pass some screens before having this music. Such a great moment when discovering it..
That's eerie... that track is _the_ reason I came here!
Complete with dancing skeletons.
@@zxKAOS1 Legit the same reason I came here too was to find that song!
25:27 The best track in the game.

@@XtremeConditions - it's used in too many locations you need to backtrack through even with fast travel
We hear it so much in the game lol, it's so calm and fun to hear in cycles, and it helps me not get lost lol
Actually, this track is from Castlevania Bloodlines on Genesis
Hell yeah this one and the into song when you fall down the pit are the ones I was looking for.

I remember being a kid playing this game and feeling like the music was constantly playing on my emotions, as any good st should.
my first castlevania ever
25:27 is the best OST this game has for me.
you read my mind
According to wikipedia the composer also worked on Super Castlevania IV.
22:07 always gives me chills
would scare the shit out of me as a little kid, sometimes i'd leave the volume slider on my GBA all the way down till I selected my save file lol
alway press a+b to skip this opening song faster when i was kid..
shit was downright terrifying as a little kid lol
Everone has all but forgotten about the joys of the gameboy advance but this was one of my favorite and still is one of my favorite gameboy games only beaten by Prehistoricman now that was funner..... i think they should remake circle of the moon for the DS

Last game to still use the Classic logo. This was the beginning of the end.
A classic, but the logos afterwards weren't half bad.
"Beginning of the end"

@@saltlord_ that's what beginning of the end means. I didn't say "that was the end".

Definitely the best soundtrack of the GBA Castlevanias.
Amazing soundtrack. If this game were a turn-based rpg all the songs would fit just as well.
my favourite GBA game. completed it more than 10 times
Honestly, a super underrated soundtrack right here.
Nathan's theme is so castlevania like. Love it.
The first Castlevania I ever played and def top 3 OST
Every music in this game is damn epic!😍
10:56 THAT'S MY FUCKING JAM RIGHT THERE, AND YOU KNOW IT'S YOURS AS WELL!
Why is this recording of the game music starting backwards with the last tracks playing first?
15:28 the best one
That theme is seriously underrated
I agree, one of my favorites. But it's all really good!
Dude it's freaking creepy sounding, even now. And the enemy in the area is tough and punishing, I would only run away to get through the boss quickly
The Sinking Old Sanctuary OST ...
Good memory also on the game Castlevania Bloodlines.
It just looks like he's holding a giant hula hoop if you don't know the game.
Catacomb's got that upbeat adventure vibe goin'
Will always be my favourite Castlevania, closely followed by Aria of sorrows.
Fascinante....nostálgico e invaluable, para mi el mejor castlevania de GBA
La mejor jugabilidad, historia y sobre todo música.....el mejor 2D
Está louco? Aria é mil vezes melhor que Circle of the Moon, sem mencionar SotN e os Castlevanias para o NDS
best gba Castlevania
That it is.
more specific : IT'S THE HARDEST AND THE MOST FRUSTATING. NO SHOP! WHY???????
