As far as handheld "sequels" go, this really went above and beyond what the original NES title did. I really wish Konami would make more silly games like these.
I had a Nintendo Game Boy when I was a kid and I loved it. But only now as an adult am I truly aware of how awesome the system was. Am I the only one that wishes the Nintendo 3DS eStore would release this game?
Omg this game is amust have! Perfect gameplay, well balanced difficulty, good graphism, good sounds and powers and most of all: fun all the way! Plus: I like the music a lot. :3
This could have easily been released as a sequel to the original NES version. They expanded on the gameplay/cinematics so much. I would call this the definitive version of Kid Dracula.
@CypressDahlia (OP) This IS a sequel. Remember how they keep talking about how Kid defeated Garamoth a previous time, and how Kid forgot a bunch of magic spells? All of that is calling back to the NES game.
The Kid Dracula games follow a young Alucard who likes causing mischief but ends up getting on the bad side of a dimension traveling demon known as Galamoth. Galamoth swears to destroy Alucard, and by extension Dracula, at any cost and that is basically the plot of the Kid Dracula games. Galamoth later appears in Symphony of the Night, in the alternate dimension version of Dracula's castle (the upside-down castle), waiting to get revenge on Alucard for his previous defeats during the Kid Dracula games. Later in Castlevania Judgment, Galamoth, still salty about his inability to kill Alucard or Dracula, sends his lackey, Witchi Wench (also known as the Time Reaper), back in time to assassinate Dracula.
It's funny how I realise this is a game full of cutesy, it was the kind of game I played while childhood. Nowadays, games like gears of wars are full of violence like never suggested before ! Its the new common looking of what a video is. That's why a like when I watch a video game like Kid Dracula, the pure innocence :)
The adventures of Dracula before he became the count. Look how adorable he was! Then he had a beautiful wife and a son - Alucard, was born. After that.. we must know.
@MaffewVsCapcom The theme in level 2 is actually based on a classical piece of music known as "Golliwog's CakeWalk". It was also used on the game "MouseTrap" for the Atari ST...I presume that's what Baximus is speaking of. Anyways...this is a wonderful game. It's a shame a gem like this is so rare...one of the few games I had to emulate due to not being able to afford it (and, being 15 years old, having an overprotective mother that would kill her son for spending 50 bucks on "old crap".) :(
This is so awesome! I cant believe I never heard of this game since they said it was released in the U.S. back in 1993? And I had the very 1st Gameboy too.
We'll never know. It's a bit confusing how this fits into Castlevania proper, but "Garamoth" as he's known here, he shows up in Symphony Of The Night, Aria Of Sorrow, and is mentioned in Judgment.
Level 1: Dracula's Castle Level 2: The Forest Level 3: The Roller Coaster Level 4: The Flying Ship Level 5: The Sky Elevator Level 6: The Magma Road Level 7: The Cave Level 8(Finale): Garamoth's Palace
Konami is so good at clusterfxxk parody games using their own original characters, first Wai Wai World, then Kid Dracula and Parodius. If companies like M2 can make a compilation of these games, I would like to buy it
Well that sucks at this game is now out of reach.. it has more than doubled, nearly tripled in price over the last few months.. because of IDIOTS who are willing to pay $200-300 for it. Sure wish I had gotten for less than a hundred when I had the chance just a few months back.. now I will never own it because prices for something like this just don't go back down.
Bloodreign1 indeed it has gone up a steep price. However if you like this game, I can suggest some good alternatives on the the gameboy that are affordable, such as Hammerin Harry the Japanese version is very cheap. As well as the the hidden gem known as Sumo fighter, the Japanese version is very cheap. So please grab them now before they go up in price in the next couple of years 😊lol. Take care and have a great day.

I love how he does that little "Dracula Turn" with his cape at the end of every scene! Too cute!! 😅
He makes his enemies cry, that's so charming.
Very cute & funny

matt fahringer Gee thanks.
@detroit retro gamer drg313 this game sells for a lot more than $30
You know i haven't laughed when playing a video game for a while now. But this game made me.
This is awfully cheerful and cute for a CV game. :3
I wanna play it.
bizotically_yours83 Play something this cute, then immediately go watch the Castlevania anime. Shock to the system. Lol
Omg this game is amust have! Perfect gameplay, well balanced difficulty, good graphism, good sounds and powers and most of all: fun all the way! Plus: I like the music a lot. :3
Now I remember. I DID beat this game, after all. I just remembered the ridiculous number of times I got stuck as a kid. As in: Every. Single. Level.
OMG Jason Vorhees as a boss!? Ok now I have to play this game.
The shotgun was a bit much though.
Its not jason
@@legendredux1291 Please don't take away or illusions! 😞 11:30
@@edwardgaines6561 isnt it the splatter house guy not jason?
@@legendredux1291 No, Jason Voorhees inspired that game's design too. Jason predates all this in the early 80s!

It has a lot more content, yeah.
It is a sequel...

That Jason boss threw me for a loop. I thought the battle was over . He came back out with a shotgun...ROTFL
Wow this game looks fun. Def downloading it.
lol emulation is life
I own the game.
I had this when it 1st came out....soo fucking cool still to this day.
First time I have played this game was in 1994.
Best game ever
THIS IS A CASTLEVANIA GAME.
matt fahringer I know.
Harley365 but that's what it is. a spinoff castlevania game
Harley365 That's like saying a Mario spinoff game isn't a Mario game.
Harley365 do you not understand what a spinoff is?
@@Mr1987Joe
Garamoth would show up in Symphony Of The Night and is the unfought Bigger Bad of Judgment.

That first boss battle had me giggling like crazy.

"Go Go at the Castle" -- I'd like to hear a minor-key version, which would make it truer to "Beginning" from _Castlevania III_.
I love the remix of "Beginning" in the first stage. :D I sucked at this game as a kid, so it's one of the only stages I got to play. :P
I love the tree stage music
hell yeah!
The way the Halloween spirits cry in the game is so cute.
This game is a gem
One of the best memories of my youth 😊
is this the young alucard
Wonderfull music in this game. Among it Debussy! yes, in the level 2; golliwog's cakewalk
Love how the music is a goofy version of Castlevania 2.
The adventures of Dracula before he became the count. Look how adorable he was! Then he had a beautiful wife and a son - Alucard, was born. After that.. we must know.
(knowledgeably) In Kid Dracula's reality, the stars in constellations have lines between them in the sky
Dracula is so cute lol
I remember being able to get the star 3 times in a row, by selecting the right moment to start the coin wheel.
I love the tree stage's music so catchy 9:20
2:55 Oh gosh, it's the clock tower from Castlevania III!
Gameboy music is awesome
yes it is
One of my favorite games by far on the OG Gameboy
Is this a sequel to The famicom game?
Part sequel, part port.
I think kid Dracula should get a game on the switch
The fire storms in the last stage is a nod to Gradius. Another Konami classic :-)

Originally the work of the late Claude Debussy, I presume? (regarding Golliwog, by which the 2nd stage and MicroValue's Mouse Trap are inspired)
Super Smash Bros Ultimate!
man what if he was playable? GAH SO COOL THO.
he appears
PK FIRE! PK FIRE! PK FIRE!!
Wow this game looks great! How have I never heard of this? Hope it shows up on the eShop someday...
It never did
Is this Alucard?
Hope if I'll have kids they are going to be like kid dracula!
great game!!
It's so awesome.
So many of these characters are fucking adorable
I did fan art of this character twice
I seen it before already
***** When I saw the words "Mouse Trap" I assumed you were referring to the 1981 Exidy arcade game?
My childhood! :)
For a game that parodies Castlevania, it's kind of fun.
why does everyone Think Kid Dracula is Alucard Their not the same thing
This is so awesome! I cant believe I never heard of this game since they said it was released in the U.S. back in 1993? And I had the very 1st Gameboy too.
This game looks so good!!!!
Looks like a straight port from the nes or they just used the same assets/residues of it.
A shame the first Kid Dracula game (NES) never got to USA shores, save for imports. It explained a lot of stuff mentioned in this one.
Until now...
I also did fan artwork of this too
that's great
I wonder who Kid Draculas father was.
We'll never know. It's a bit confusing how this fits into Castlevania proper, but "Garamoth" as he's known here, he shows up in Symphony Of The Night, Aria Of Sorrow, and is mentioned in Judgment.
Level 1: Dracula's Castle
Level 2: The Forest
Level 3: The Roller Coaster
Level 4: The Flying Ship
Level 5: The Sky Elevator
Level 6: The Magma Road
Level 7: The Cave
Level 8(Finale): Garamoth's Palace
This graphic so beautiful.
am i the only one crying in the beginning that the player should charge the nor before shooting to gather coins?
GorinRedspear yah its kinda annoying :D
Alucards first adventure
yep!
This game made me need new batteries several times
Alucard what's your business here?
Wowee, this is a real hidden gem, thanks, Sakurai~
...it reminds me of Wario Land-!!
This soundtrack tho'
They should remake this game on the switch
He look like goku
this game is a cutesy castlevania spinoff/parody
This game looks so cool!
My childhood is recorded on this game.... *Face palm* but I had one interesting childhood...
This game original have save state or password?
How's the controls? Soundtrack is nice and the graphics look so charming.

Great longplay! Never played this before though.
FC Remake Of Kid Dracula As In GB,Released In USA.......(TAT)
i hope this comes out for 3ds Virtual
See you soon little buddy!
great game, i have it on card!

the nostalgia!!!! i fucking loved this game!
One of the secret gems on the GB imho
Who's here because of the Smash Direct?
i wish it wasn't so expensive
12:00 WHAT Jason?
Yep xD
Got this for the Famicom, paid $25 for it years back, but this Gameboy iteration has gotten a bit too pricey for me.
Masterpiece
24:36 same bat time, same bat channel.
I don't own this one, I do own the Famicom game (which isn't quite the same levels wise). Sadly the price of this one has put it out of reach for me.

the first boss from the Famicom version, has the nazi symbol on his head. This was removed in the Game Boy version i see.
It was also removed in the anniversary version, both Japanese and American
Is this guy Soma?...
What is a man?!
Cool!😃😃
Adult Dracula? perhaps. lol
@SirHarlesTheThird feal ya man im 16 and get most of my old crap from saving and eBay.
@ryanc519 young Dracula
