“Bloody Tears has a cool remix”
You said that when the footage showed a painting of a woman crying... Bloody tears.
Johnny, you clever bastard
It’s really the game that’s being clever

“Buff Light Yagami”
How did I never think of that?
He picked up a potato chip.....AND ATE IT!!!!!!
Well considering the fact that the characters in Judgement were designed by the creator of Death Note, it should’ve been obvious seeing that particular influence.
I seriously thought he was a guest character. I never even thought he was simon
Now you cant unsee it
You watch him to?! Oh goodness your the best!
This is the second time you reviewed Castlevania after you finished a Mega Man marathon
I like it
Melee Ultimate at least there’s no evil muppet forcing him to play a game that makes him scream in agony this time
Its tradition
Technically, the first
He reviewed Ghosts and Goblins after his Classic marathon
Seriously?
@the paper jester HAHA
Someone needs to make a video about the Rave Johnny!
@@FoxmisProductions I can get you a gif but a video?... I can do it but you're going to have to wait. I want to make it perfect.
Don't forget to add the Zangief dance from Street Fighter The Movie The Game
Needs to be a twitch emote
Rave Johnny is awesome.

In regards to arranged mode's tunes...
Every 100 years, Casltevania rises from the ashes, called to the earth by the ruin & sadness emanating from men's souls... whenever there's a leap year, Funklevania rises from the boomboxes, called to the discos by the raves & fistbumps emanating from men's spandex...
Fun Fact: in Castlevania Chronicles, if you hold down L1 and R1 and select either original or arranged mode, you can then choose up to three different sound chips for the soundtrack to play off of. Which also means that you can play arranged mode with the original mode's soundtrack.
The scary thing from this video was sticking that Fortnite music in here
Truly
What fortnite music?
@@fignatoli-guevara5826 Default dance theme at 2:29
HA SUCKER
Heh
I love the way Simon walks in Haunted Castle. And when he gets hurt and killed, he sticks his ass out at the camera. He literally gets his ass kicked. His digitized scream adds to it too.
I hope they keep that in when he shows up for Smash Brothers. As a reference to this game.
Well, now we need a loop of 11:33-11:40.
Edit: And 12:35-12:47. We need the full rave, Johnny.
*AHEM*... m.th-cam.com/video/5s_8fpWm_ZU/w-d-xo.html
The title screen bit killed me
"Zombies? Please, nothing I can't hand- oh my God, my health. *Pause* Shi-" *Cue theme song*
Okay, that's earned a sub.
11:33
*BREAK DANCING JOHN-NNNNNYYYY!1!*
It is now a meme
*Explosions*
I can't stop laughing at this shit! Rotflmao
That isn't break dancing you fucking pleb.
A never knew I wanted a Castlevania rave remix until heard it just now.
Castlevania is like the perfect series to play on Halloween, with its gothic, horror themed aesthetics.
3:07 wait......THATS THE JULIUS THEME FROM ARIA OF SORROW! What a weird and obscure theme to remix for that game.
Yeah Heart of Fire, I got that too.
It's actually a mix of two themes, heart of fire and don't wait until night are the names IIRC.
Expio 20XX yes but it’s a combination of heart of fire and don’t wait until night
Speaking of Castlevania, the S2 anime is bloody awesome and it tears at the feels!.
True
Also I'm excited Netflix is making a legend of Zelda series
It's renewed for a third season too!
Bloody tearful, eh?
I see what you did there
Hey johnny,don't know if you read my last comment but i used your intro for my school play, it was for when two ghosts made an enterance and did and interpretive dance to scare a girl...
...
...
...
...
...
...don't ask who wrote the script.
EDIT: also could you say thank's to Tee Lopes, i've been a huge fan ever since he did the soundtrack for sonic mania and i'm in lesbians with his work. (Thumbs up if you get the refference...HINT: it's in my profile picture.)
What? xD
NABIL KHAIRAN AMANULLAH Lol.
His intro isn't spooky or anything, it's incredibly up beat? How could you use that
scientificbrony: Yeah, apparently the ghost's we're supposed to be acompanied by regular scary music, but our suppervisor told us that an interpretive dance would be funnier, and since i was in charge of the music, guess the first song that popped into my head. I suggested this music and even though it was too upbeat, he thought it would be funnier so we used it
Go thank Tee Lopes as well. XD
11:01 Dracula scrapes and licks
I'm starting a petition to have johnny to sell short clips of him dancing in different genre in a greenscreen room
Every time he gets hurt, put the Michael Jackson OHH in its place
HEE HEE~
WHO'S BAD?! for the game over screen.
11:33 *I HATE TO SAY IT ,BUT I THINK I SHOULD BE IN A RAVE*
Thatguywhoalwaysdies you think
IT’S FUCKIN PARTY TIME!!!!!!!
*Projared fans*
Pro jared?
3:08 god the fact you get hurt in sync with the music is hysterical
This is still one of my all time favourite reviews. It's just so entertaining and tightly written
Johnny basically managed to review the first Castlevania game three times in a row and still be insanely compelling. Good on ya.
Time and time again john has shown his amazing dancing talent. Never stop dancing you dancing machine.
The only scary thing here is that I was so early the video was still private
Don’t forget Dracula’s mouth jitter.
11:01 The Horror
"Why is the game harder for America? Isn't that usually the opposite?"
I know of two games (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and Ninja Gaiden 3) which were BOTH harder for their American versions (though for different reasons, strangely... M&L came out in America first and so the international release got a better balance, whereas Ninja Gaiden 3 was Japanese first and bumped UP the difficulty for localization)... There's also, of course, Castlevania 3!
But I actually can't think of any time other SMB2 that localization opted for something easier.
Does FF: Mystic Quest count for this? That's in conception, but it fits the discussion.
May your Halloween be a good one sir Johnny.
The load screen tune from Castlevania Chronicles original mode actually came from Castlevania 1. The Famicom Disk System release in Japan allowed saving to three different save files, and featured the same tune.
As far as I know, Castlevania Chronicles' difficulty was a response to those who sent letters to Konami complaining about how easy Super Castlevania 4 was. Also, as brutally hard as the first playthrough is, each subsequent playthrough increases the difficulty up to and including the seventh playthrough.
The theme from the bridge is called Heart of Fire. It also happens to be Julius's theme from Castlevania Aria and Dawn of Sorrow
It's mixed with Level 5 music from the original Castlevania, I don't remember its name.
@@JoakimOtamaa it was also called heart of fire
The bridge theme is actually called Don't Wait Until The Night
Sorry john, gotta sleep for the SMASH DIRECT
What time will it be?
@@SuperFusionAJ93 About 12 hours from now.
@@SuperFusionAJ93 i belive it is 10 AM est and 6 AM PST or something like that
Paper Mario Just saw you on AntDude’s Mario Party video
@@SuperFusionAJ93 10 am Eastern / 7 am pacific
6:50 I like red hair Simon.
I would like to have this version of him as an alternative costume in Smash Ultimate.
Maybe as an alt palette? Like with black armor and the red hair? Although I would like to see a costume.
Red hair helps make Simon look more distinct compared to the other Belmonts
@@Michael-590 I agree.
The “ugh” at the apex of the tune was priceless 3:08
I'm glad to see somebody mention Castlevania Chronicles for once, I've been getting into the series this year, easily one of the greatest video game franchises of all time. Happy Halloween Johnny!
2:25
Well that was something I didnt know I needed to see in my life
6:50
I think the older design they later used in smash bros looks at this and thinks
"Christ, it feels so good to be out of that fase"
This review was a joy to watch. The editing and joke execution was perfect. Reminded me of the knuckles chaotix review which was also a joy.
I honestly would like for you to tackle the BlazBlue games.
I second this
@@nettosawada I third this. The wheel of fate must turn once again.
It would be great if he did the Kirby series so ted can shut up
Oh no I don't think he's be ready to handle that or it's confusing storyline seriously he's going to be more burnt out. then when he was on Kingdom Hearts especially since they got time travel
Blazblue's plot will probably drain all the life from him lol
So, is Serina the family lawn-mower?
Words cannot describe the emotions I felt when I heard the Fortnite Default Dance come from that Skeleton.
Great piece though. Only thing I knew about Haunted Castle was the badass Don't Wait Until Night (Crumbling Bridge) track in the OST, but as far as the game goes I was completely clueless.
2:26 and there's the screenshot I never knew I needed until now. Thanks Johnny
Please review the Sorrow games (Aria and Dawn of Sorrow). They are by far my favourite, even though I haven't played Symphony yet. Looking forward to playing it.
I would say those are the best in the series.
Those were the first Castlevania games I finished. I love them! Played the GBA one so many times...
I think Johnny should review all the GBA and DS Castlevania games. I mean why not? Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia is my favourite game in the series
@@Michael-590 I'm not against that idea. The gba an ds games are great.
@@Michael-590 Order of Ecclesia is a great game, though it's quite tedious for completionists like me. The familiar glyphs are a b*tch to grind.
Edit: The attribute points grind are also wearisome.
Alright, now do two videos discussing the GBA Castlevania trilogy and then the DS trilogy. Please.
Seeing Johnny dance.... I never thought I would see the day, and experience so much joy, seeing, Johnny dance.
Love Halloween when content producers go into overdrive to make sure we get stuff on the day, really appreciate the work!
Unpopular opinion: Kojima's interpretation of Simon is my favorite one. I like it quite a lot. I can see why others don't, but me, I enjoy it.
What do you think of his Lords of Shadow redesign
@@Igorcastrochucre That one I hate. They tried wayyyyy too hard to make him brute and tough looking again when all they had to do was re-imagine the orignal design, like what's being done for him now in Smash Bros. I guess I give them credit for listening to fans as by the time Judgement came out, "anime pretty boy" Simon was slammed beyond redemption.
Agreed.
@@DoctorMinjinx 😆
I gotta say, I love the rapier, my problem is that it looks too bdsm.
omg I've been playing Vampire Killer all day, so your timing was perfect Johnny!
I needed this tonight, thanks for coming to whip me back into shape!
.....oh whoops
5:30 well, whadaya know? It's *A Big-Lipped Alligator Moment!*
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who thought of that meme!
Am I the only person who loved Chronicles so much that I played and beat all 8 difficulty loop increases in original mode?
I did too. Best version of CV1, far better than the pathetic easiness that is SC4.
Had to check you out after hearing ExoParadigmGamer and I'm loving the videos, especially your Sonic stuff. Would absolutely love to see you take on Dishonored from 2012. Think you'll love the open-ended and freedom of the game. Keep it coming man.
HOLD ON A MINUTE!.....you're telling me that "heart of fire" one of my favorite songs from the entirety of castlevania and the theme of one of, if not THE most powerful belmont ¡¿Is a remake from a game I never even heard about?! Hold me boys....I'm having a fucking revelation here and I don't think I was ready for it.
Oooh, Heart of Fire, the song that became the basis for Julius Belmont's theme
Can I just take a moment to applaud the comedic timing and editing of Johnny’s new videos? Like they’re just so funny, much more so (no offense) than his older stuff.
Your dance just made my whole night, Johnny! ✊😆
Whoa Whoa Whoa, Jump Scare warning please 7:45
Who'd ya shot? Was it me? Was it the game? XD
Johnny knew I needed some castlevania videos for Halloween and blessed me with one. Thank you
Great review. I love most classic Castlevania games and I have played Haunted Castle on my Pandora's Box. Damn if it doesn't drive me crazy, kudos to John for sticking with it. I usually give it ten minutes and by then I'm too frustrated with it.
So how about looking into those 3D Castlevania games?
There are definitely some hidden gems to be found.
The "3D CV games are bad" thing is a meme. Legacy of Darkness was phenomenal. Lament of Innocence was fantastic. Curse of Darkness was great. Lords of Shadow 1 was good. Lords of Shadow 2 was... less good. But they're all fun.
0:47 everyone's Reaction to the damage in Haunted Castle 😂
Great video! I loved it. Also, Don't/Can't Wait Until Night is amazing, and I loved the remix/combination of it with Heart of Fire in Aria of Sorrow.
The intro made me laugh. It's always so exciting when there's a new Johnny video. Happy Halloween John!
3:06 you'll be delighted to hear that it was remade in Aria of Sorrow as Julius Belmont's theme
So where's the extended version of your dance? :D

And here: m.th-cam.com/video/5s_8fpWm_ZU/w-d-xo.html
Johnny your content keeps getting better and better. Also can't wait to see some of this pop up in the next SHC.
Fun Fact, the one who did the music for the arrange mode also made music for Bemani games (Konami's music game devision), his name is Sota Fujimori
That might explain why the techno rave version of the song is catchy as hell...
Best use of your intro yet
Oh wow, I literally played this for the first time today! Happy to know I didn't suck at Original mode in Castlevania Chronicles because I just suck (entirely)...it's just that hard. Also, after seeing so many people play the original Castlevania, I kept hitting walls I KNOW should have wall meat, but all I got was nothing or fleamen.
Also played Lament of Innocence today for the first time too(PS2 game). After a few hours... ehhhhh...good ideas... not horrible, but...OOOOOOFFFF!
I'm glad you're going along with the jokes and memes. There's plenty of new material here and I can't wait to see what the other fans come up with.
It feels weirdly satisfying that the grunt from the hit during the bridge matched with the beat
Me waiting inside the corner for Azure Striker gunvolt😅😅
I'd rather see MegaMari.
That was one hell to accomplish for me, goddamn S+ rank take much skill. Then you finally get 100% achievements on Steam and everyone in awe of your hardcoreness.
Yeah, the first game alone is a bitch to complete. I gave up on getting the S+ rank on the Tower of Babel without skills due to Viper having a nigh-unavoidable special attack.
I figured out how to avoid the first phase of Viper’s special attack a few months ago. But, by now I don’t really care about getting that last achievement.
2:25
I know it's a cliche but.........EXTRA THICC!!!
LMFAO
‘30 minutes or it’s free? Excellent!’
I've been playing through the castlevania games recently, super happy to see this!
Always a pleasure to see you fresh off a marathon. Like a season premiere😄
3:33 And it looks so.... wrong...
2:28
Did... did Johnny just make a Fortnite reference?
For shame John, for shame.
Nope
Wow you hated on fortnite! Wow your SO EDGY AND ORIGINAL!
Dalton Jenkins
I expect spooky scary skeletons moonwalking
NOT
F O R T N I T E
@Pyro Flare the point of the sarcasm is to show how unoriginal he was, hating on someone (or joking about it but you get the point) for liking a silly game. He's as unoriginal as fortnites concept which is just as unoriginal as pubg
Come on...you at least chuckled at that a bit
Thanks for the review Johnny. That dance clip was hilarious, I needed a good laugh.
watching you making a fool out of yourself at the end was one of the most delightful things I've ever seen
I see upload, I click video, private ._.
I finally caught up on this channel. Geez I had to watch so many videos in a row. I'm fatigued from my marathon.
I know how you feel dude. I literally just got done marathoning Johnny's videos too. I was waiting for the end of the Megaman X marathon first, as I wanted to see how he'd end it. A great job as usual. I'm sure you'll be fine dude. Just take a deep breath, and take a break.
This was one of the funniest episodes you’ve done, great job!
I love how you made the comedy of your videos now a little more of a focus.
Don't Wait Until Night (Stage 6) might just be my favourite Castlevania Song. Please listen to the Harmony of Despair Remix. You won't regret it.
He mentioned during the bsc run of harmony of despair that he loved it
I haven't watch that. Either way, to all, Listen to it
It's so good that it was reused and made the theme of Julius.
@El Padre con Verga Larga I have a theory the dont wait until night in smash will either be the harmony of despair version or be a new remix with heart of fire since its one of the few castlevania 1 songs not listed
"OH MY GOD! MY HEALTH!!!
shit."
Those are the exact same words I said when playing DOOM on Nightmare setting!
same
Which Doom? The Original or the 2016 version?
@@bossviper2833 Either.
Johnny reviewing Castlevania again! Perfect gift on Halloween.
Mr. Johnson, I'd like to say that I've been watching you for years and years and I might want to get into reviewing games, all thanks to you, you've inspired me to start TH-cam in general, but I might make a review for games in the future.
3:08 That sounds way more like Doom music than Castlevania music!
No it doesn't, if anything it sounds like something coming out of an amiga game.
The melody does sound like e1m1
I wish johnny could do a marathon of the final fantasy games or review the earthbound/mother games
He already did the mother trilogy
@@alazoneia And now he’s finally even been doing Final Fantasy!
That was a great video! I remember you were talking about putting more then one game in reviews at the end of your second donater marathon. This was really well done and your jokes were amazing.
Awesome vid, and OF COURSE the ad I get during the middle of the vid was Konami advertising the re-release of old Castlevaina games. Wow that timing.
Classic Castlevania > Metroidvania castlevania
If I wanted to play Metroid I'd play Metroid. CV3 > Everything else.
darkstar100x jokes on you. Metroid didn’t inspire symphony of the night
@@randomduck8679 It may not have been the direct inspiration, but SOTN is too close to Super Metroid to say it played no part.
Johnny! Play the portable Castlevania games like Circle of the Moon, Aria of Sorrow, etc.
That bridge theme you mentioned is "Don't Wait Until Night" my personal favorite piece of Castlevania music, and was arranged with the song "Heart of Fire" as the theme of Julius Belmont in Aria of Sorrow. Julius is also my favorite Belmont so that might be part of the reason why I love Don't Wait Until Night so much.
Johnny doing another castlevania game? what a treat! OOOOHHH!! And the enemies have a crap ton of contact damage!! *THIS IS GONNA BE A GOOD ONE* (but it’s no doubt a trick for Johnny)
I got an ad for Castlevania Requiem.
Huh.
Castlevania Johnny is my favorite Johnny. I hope you tackle some of the IGA games sometime as well (although perhaps you're waiting for Bloodstained to be on the horizon and lump that one it), particularly the Sorrow series (or at least Aria). I've tried playing Circle of the Moon and it was super disappointing to me with its ridiculous difficulty spikes and expectation of grinding. Maybe I just went to the wrong area at some point, but when I can hardly beat a boss while abusing the fuck out of save states *cough Zombie Dragon cough* then I know it either wants me to grind for hours or is just shitty design. Anyway great vid Johnny and I'll be looking forward to Simon/Richter dittoing you in Ultimate if you ever do fan battles!
dont worry the game really is that flawed. but for some reason johnny and his friend nathan like it. maybe they just havent played it recently.
I enjoyed Cotm personally, but yeah I agree it's pretty tough. I didn't feel the need to grind though.
CotM wasn't made by IGA. It was actually the 3rd Castlevania project by Konami Kobe, after their N64 games.
I like CotM. The other Igavanias are way too easy (Besides Ecclesia, the best CV game ever made). And it's at least better than Dissonance, which is so piss easy that it can barely be considered a game.
@@northwindkey SCV4, SotN were both easy too. Hell the devs behind Rondo were scared that they made it too easy as well, which is which the bonus stage is so challenging.
3:58 you pretty much said the world is the ultimate stand
Dude, why is the comedy so perfect in this video?
11:33 The next Johnny meme.
7:17 Well... Castlevania 64 is not a remake of the original NES one... Nor does Legacy of Darkness.
(coughcough~~askingtoreviewcastlevaniaonthen64~~coughcough)
I was watching this, and I suddenly got an ad for Castlevania Requiem; basically Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night on PS4.
Johnny, you hyped my computer! Thank you!
Glad to see the hoodie back Johnny!
