Hidden staircase
—————-
There is an invisible staircase leading to Dracula, and a pit below it, on the
level just before Dracula is encountered. Take a large jump into the pit from
the edge to land on an invisible platform. Move to the left side to reach a
staircase that leads downward. Before going down, move all the way to the left
to find some power-ups. Collect 99 hearts, a triple boomerang, and the best whip,
then carefully return to the stairs to enter the next level.
Bonus rooms
———–
Levels 3-1, 6-2, and 9-2 have bonus rooms that contain a large amount of power-ups.
Level 9 treasure chest
———————-
Jump 255 times on any treasure chest on level 9 for a power-up.
Hard difficulty
—————
After you defeat Dracula the first time, you will see the ending cinematic of the
castle crumbling, followed by credits, then a cinematic of Simon fighting all the
Bosses. At the end where it reads „Presented by Konami”, press Start. You will be
at the beginning of the game again. However, this time there are more of each
enemy, but Boss fights are the same.
