Game Description:
Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse an action platforming game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This game is known in Japan as Akumajou Densetsu.
A new feature added for this game, there are three bosses that the player can recruit: Grant DeNasty (a pirate who can climb walls and is an expert dagger user), Sypha Belnades (a magic user, with various types of magic sub-weapons and a staff) and Alucard (Dracula’s son, who uses Fireballs and can change into a bat). Do note that you can only have ONE of these people on your team, and if you want a different one you have to exchange him/her for your current party member.
Another new feature is the “Choose Your Path” feature. After each stage, most of the time you are given a choice between two new stages to go to next.

Hack Description:
This hack modernizes the control scheme of Castlevania 3 to make it less frustrating to people used to tighter controls, including giving the player more control while jumping.
Complete list of changes:
- Enables all characters to control their x-velocity in mid-air while jumping (including while jump attacking); Grant's jumping controls remain unchanged.
- When releasing the jump button, one immediately starts falling again; this allows the player to make smaller hops if desired. (Does not apply to Grant.)
- After being knocked back, the player regains control after a split second and can angle their fall.
- When walking off an edge, the player retains control instead of dropping straight down.
- All characters can jump off of stairs at any point in the climb (however, it is still impossible to land on stairs, so be careful jumping from long flights of stairs over pits)
