I would have gotten hit and died a thousand times, fighting all them bosses, even if they would have started me off completely naked with no underwear. 😫
It's more ridiculous as to why they have a hi-score. Time limits exist due to the arcade nature of the game, and to prevent players from overcoming the game by using ultra cautious strategies. The last level is only one where the time limit can cause issues.
That's what made these games challenging to play and part of why they were so much fun. Were you alive when this game was released? (I'm not being mean, I'm just curious.)
Wow, you lucked out there a couple of times, Storm Cesaris in particular can end you at will with her shots if you don't hit her often enough, Beruaroken could've been trouble had he thrown his arms more often, and there were some close calls with Astaroth and Nebiroth (but then, there always are). Nevertheless, nicely played, that game is hard!
@@NicholasVetter-sy8io I believe to avoid religious references since certain companies wouldn't allow Christian imagery to be shown, which is why games like Bomberman II on the NES had it's Crucifix on a church removed or how Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts had them taken out too
Impressive. Especially so, given that Super Ghouls and Ghosts can be rather unforgiving, at times. (What, no Arthur in his boxer shorts vs Sardius?) I generally don't bother grabbing the bracelet until near the end of the 7th stage (2nd play through), when I know I'll need it. And I usually prefer to have the gold armor with it, too (it might not have a spell attack, but the bracelet with gold armor has the ability to nullify projectiles [including Astaroth and Nebiroth's flame attacks], plus a slightly longer range).
Would it be possible for you to do Ecco the Dolphin? It's an insanely hard game with a really creepy first boss, which seems to be right up your alley. Anyways, I love your vids and I'm always amazed, you two manage to be good at, like, every old game ever.
Way more so. Ghouls & ghosts is way more difficult and ghosts and goblins not far off, both of which with some insane enemy patterns and respawns. Super gng far more manageable with only really some of the jump timing being tricky
Came here after reading an article about a a belgian guy who defeated this final boss and got so exited that his neighbours called the police.. when the police arived they guy was stil celebrating! 😂 #truestorybro
The hydra was very disappointing for me. Taking half of the challenge of a ghouls and ghosts away Or it could be the combination of the knife and the gold armour
I have never managed to beat this game, sadly, despite making attempts for years. I’ve made it as far as Level 5 (the icy mountain), but I always have the biggest struggle in Level 3 (the cavern). Why? Because of Firebrand. SUCH a pain to hit!
@@arthursnyder6935 I know. But both getting the armor, and *keeping* it, have always been a struggle for me. I’m not an expert gamer, and I don’t have the reflexes to play this game without taking damage or losing lives.
Tell me why the final boss (that you have to beat the game 2 times to fight) seemed the easiest to beat. You dusted him in like a lil over a Minuit lol.
How did Sardius become the leader of the Demon Realm ? Astaroth and Loki fought Arthur to death, while this lazy bum just went down without a fight. Had Sardius literally put his foot down he could have solved many problems plaguing the Demon Realm.
I see some videos, not impressive 😒. But I remember this game, and it's TOUGH. kudos... lol and I LOVE watching these videos they CRACK ME UP! haha! always watching people doing there absolute BEST to avoid danger, HILARIOUS haha! seriously though, good job, tough game
Why do you have 4 minutes on Nebiroth? You can have 2, maximum 2 and a half minutes for this boss. This must be one of the most unforgiving levels ever. How did you score 4 minutes for Nebiroth?!
There’s many reasons why in my opinion this game sucks! One, the weapon storage works the way it does in Castlevania, and two this thing works on Mario rules where you only have 2 hit points instead of a whole health bar
Man, the bosses in the SNES version are kinda meh compared to the bosses in the Genesis, especially the final boss, and I say this as a total SNES fanboy.
@@StaticTV80 There is a version that removes the vast majority of lags from the game, proving that the fault is not Super Nes but Capcom, who did a horrible job in optimizing the game.
So this game is where DBZ and YU-GI-OH got the idea of fusion from. The fourth boss is a combination of three baby naga dragon lamia thing as in fu-sion-ha. Also I don't really like this game. The fact you move super slow compared to Ghost N Goblins and Ghouls N Ghosts and the fact you are restricted to throwing horizontal since you are no longer able to shoot upwards or downwards which is a huge step backwards compare to Ghouls N Ghosts where you shoot in four directions. Thank goodness the PSP game you can shoot up and down again and move a little faster.
This isn't that hard at all. Using the bracelet for some is op. Dagger??? Easiest way to kill. Try fire only. That would make this better. Look up Pjdesicre. Fastest times and best boss kills. Finishes these bosses better than this video.

Castlevania+Contra=this game
@Cicely Kalinowski Nope, I've seen someone say this before and the peraon replying said the same thing.
@@finalhazard883 Are bots
Im currently working on a game inspired by this and Castlevania. I just started working so it won't be ready for a while..
Contravania
True
If I remember correctly
This game had to be played through twice
In order to get the bracelet or ring to defeat Sardius at the end.
Okay thanks for the info i just beat it for the first time and didn't encounter sardius
Correct
It's a Ghosts 'n Goblins tradition.
one of the my most childhood frustrations
@@masterbison8957unless you're playing Ultimate or maybe Resurrection
There's a golden rule, coming from the old times, if you wanted to go far and complete this game:
*Get the knife*
But the bracelet gives you the true ending
@@crystalalumina that's why beating the game, and getting the true ending are not necessarily the same thing.
@@Shuyin781 yeah, the bracelet sucks.
Every AVGN viewer knows this rules. Hell, I think I knew this BEFORE his video.
Lol false. Golden rule was get the arrows and golden armor.
it's the story of an half naked guy killing huge monsters while not giving a f....
I would have gotten hit and died a thousand times, fighting all them bosses, even if they would have started me off completely naked with no underwear. 😫
Ah, my first hardcore gaming accomplishment as a child was fairy ring ending.
Thanks for making all those hours of tears seem trivial.
Lmao I'm crying
Sardius's image is permanently burned in my memory thanks to Nintendo Power
So THIS is where that one boss from Mario Remix: Boss Edition was from!
KILLER CORAL IS LIFE
Though this is the hardest game I have ever played, it is still one of my favourite old Nintendo games.
Interestingly enough I found Castlevania to be harder
Nintendo...?
Dude literally one of the hardest games ever made and you killed it!! #ghouled
Mark Lhomme well if you play it enough you find out that the bosses run on a program and once you memorize their moves it become easy
@@sun-extinguisher Please explain nebiroths movements then
Sit back and look or get beat down until you learn the program....the program is his move set
3 headed boss lag was the true boss there....
Thanks, I was having trouble fighting that ice samurai thing :>
What manner of sorcery is this? No armor? You're not real, brah!
Haha took the words from my mouth
Ikr(ʘ‿ʘ)(ʘ‿ʘ)(ᵕ≀ ̠ᵕ )(ᵕ≀ ̠ᵕ )(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
you are the most skilled player,you deserve a suscription
Im sweating while seeing you fighting without armor o_o;;;;
I know! It's exciting seeing a man fighting monsters in his underwear.
:^)
The thumbnail was the best - Arthur was like:
"I'm gonna get'chu, stupid blue demon"
With the bracelet too
which beg the question: where did he kept all of those weapon on him to thorw at endless hore of monster ?
ВОТ ОНА - МОЯ САМАЯ ПЕРВАЯ И ЛЮБИМАЯ ИГРА НА НИНТЕНДО!!!
it's still stupid how there is a time limit in these type of games :p

Mitjitsu i like scores gives a nostalgic feel to it :p
That's what made these games challenging to play and part of why they were so much fun. Were you alive when this game was released? (I'm not being mean, I'm just curious.)
rrw:yeah especially how difficult the game is.
That is just how it was back then.

Nevertheless, nicely played, that game is hard!
the last boss is so silly the previous much harder
Lucifier dies even faster, sure his lasers are hard to avoid but the Psycho Cannon does so much damage it takes him out in 6 seconds
@@turrican3839Why did they change his name in the Genesis version?
@@NicholasVetter-sy8io I believe to avoid religious references since certain companies wouldn't allow Christian imagery to be shown, which is why games like Bomberman II on the NES had it's Crucifix on a church removed or how Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts had them taken out too
Huh, so that's what beating each boss legitimately looks like. I just magic armor + scythe magic (tornado) the field all the time.
Storm cesaris? Nope, to me this boss will always be called killer coral
AND TO ME TOO :D
Impressive. Especially so, given that Super Ghouls and Ghosts can be rather unforgiving, at times. (What, no Arthur in his boxer shorts vs Sardius?) I generally don't bother grabbing the bracelet until near the end of the 7th stage (2nd play through), when I know I'll need it.

The boss 2:38 Deathcrawler is INSANE!!!
Was my favorite Game at 2000 years old times
I remember this game.. good times...renting this from mom and pop video rentals
Those were the good old days.
2:51 - You can move out from inbetween the boss? 😲 I was always under the impression that you have to stay where the boss appears to fight him, huh. 🤯
i can't remember a game ive had my ass clenched more while playing than this one
lol i was just watching PJ playing this at agdq 2014 XD
i had these game and never seen that transformation in 3:53 D:
it's rare to see it, but pretty awesome. if there's 3 heads, then they'll be 3 separate body's XD
They look funny and cute xD I have seen all of them morph at the same time
Take a key for coming in 👍👍
Nigga, you are takin' me back to my childhood. Please play Ghosts and Goblins if you have it. It's an NES title.
Set jump to A button, then you can press Y and B at same time to fire faster. Then get close to boss and hammer both buttons and they go down quicker.
08:29 is actually the ending.
10:15 did this cliff hanger ever go anywhere?
Rule N°1:
After getting the golden armor, ALWAYS get the knife.
Believe me, I learnt it the hard way.
The minor enemies were worse than the bosses ... especially that one demon which flies around, chases you and dodges most of your weapons ...
I can't even pass the first stage lol
Would it be possible for you to do Ecco the Dolphin? It's an insanely hard game with a really creepy first boss, which seems to be right up your alley.
Anyways, I love your vids and I'm always amazed, you two manage to be good at, like, every old game ever.
Ecco the Dolphin is one of the best Cthulu inspired games ever. It becomes insane later on
I know this beat both of the games last year
So is there like a whole team of you guys or is it one guy that is the best at every game?
It's me and ArekTheAbsolute.
You guys are crazy good.
Wait, if this is the 3rd game in the series... then what was the 2nd?
Ghouls and Ghosts for the Arcade/Genesis(or Mega Drive if you're a European)
First was ghouls n goblin 2nd was ghouls n ghost last was this one
Makai Mura (Hell Valley)/ Dai Makai Mura (Great Hell Valley)/ Cho Makai Mura ("I don't know" Hell Valley).
I dunno about 'last'. The 'Maximo' games were spiritual sequels to these.
@@Nomi_MirXa There was Ultimate Ghost and Goblins after this one, so it's not the last.
01:25 the ugly barnacle
TBH SGaG was more managable then nes prequel.
Way more so. Ghouls & ghosts is way more difficult and ghosts and goblins not far off, both of which with some insane enemy patterns and respawns. Super gng far more manageable with only really some of the jump timing being tricky
This is especially so if you get the crossbow
Do you guys plan on doing the ones for NES, Genesis, and even the PSP port?
Yes, I'm planning to do more games from Ghost 'n Goblins series in the future.
um like merecido mano
Came here after reading an article about a a belgian guy who defeated this final boss and got so exited that his neighbours called the police.. when the police arived they guy was stil celebrating! 😂 #truestorybro
Bro I know your comment is 2 years old but please tell me the name of the article I wanna see it
5:01 looks like someone has been eating too many hot Cheetos
Can’t believe they made Lucifer the final boss of the Switch remake and not Sardius.
The true final boss is actually Hades but he looks quite different than in Ultimate Ghosts N Goblins
The second boss is the killer koral
I like that boss fight
Top ten anime heros
Would you ever consider doing a all boss no hit run of the psp game?
The hydra was very disappointing for me.
Taking half of the challenge of a ghouls and ghosts away
Or it could be the combination of the knife and the gold armour
The original dark souls
ghost n goblins is very good and good
... Do I even wanna know what the hydra was doing down there?
The final boss has a face on his torso.
the previous has a torso face too
Mushroom Head Reminds me of the main demon villain from the ronin warriors.
What really bugs me is that the face on his torso is on your side.
I have never managed to beat this game, sadly, despite making attempts for years. I’ve made it as far as Level 5 (the icy mountain), but I always have the biggest struggle in Level 3 (the cavern). Why? Because of Firebrand. SUCH a pain to hit!
Red arremers are way easier if you have the bow while wearing at least green armor because it becomes a homing weapon
@@arthursnyder6935 I know. But both getting the armor, and *keeping* it, have always been a struggle for me. I’m not an expert gamer, and I don’t have the reflexes to play this game without taking damage or losing lives.
@@zacharyjoy8724The only way to fight a Red Arremer is to only attack when he runs towards you
So do Firebrand and Arthur have beef or something
god the nostalgia
But is just a dream Heheheh try again Heheh
you couldn't just make a no hit run with his amor still attatch huh? XD
Tell me why the final boss (that you have to beat the game 2 times to fight) seemed the easiest to beat. You dusted him in like a lil over a Minuit lol.
Dark Souls before Dark Souls was a thing.
Nah, dark souls is only the child of this old genre. Show more respect to the clasics
How did Sardius become the leader of the Demon Realm ? Astaroth and Loki fought Arthur to death, while this lazy bum just went down without a fight. Had Sardius literally put his foot down he could have solved many problems plaguing the Demon Realm.
The first SNES game I ever beat!!
Were he is taked what weapon , what look like fireball
Music from 0:04 - 0:23 reminds me of FF7
Did he just beat king gidorah or what 😂
Still have this game never got to the end
I see some videos, not impressive 😒. But I remember this game, and it's TOUGH. kudos...
lol and I LOVE watching these videos they CRACK ME UP! haha! always watching people doing there absolute BEST to avoid danger, HILARIOUS haha!
seriously though, good job, tough game
hahaha! he's always I his boxers when he gets to tree boss lol, just fightin in briefs, like it's normal haha!
Hey bro that boss with the face in his stomachs got that clap. looks like he's pissing that FIRE haha!
yeah, I'm high watching this lol
Will you guys play bloodstain when it comes out?
Why do you have 4 minutes on Nebiroth? You can have 2, maximum 2 and a half minutes for this boss. This must be one of the most unforgiving levels ever. How did you score 4 minutes for Nebiroth?!
