SPECIAL THIS EPISODE A cameo from KARMAJOLT!
Karmajolt has an awesome retro gaming channel that I personally like to watch when Iām not making U Can Beat Video Games! My favorite part of his channel are his short videos where he explains a secret or a glitch in 60 seconds or less ā There are so many tricks that I didnāt know! He does a lot more than just that on the channel, including live streams!

Here because KarmaJolt. Awesome video, one of my favorite games of all time. Plus you've gotten a sub out of me. Thanks!
Iām just hear to listen to your calming voice.
What you forgot to tell people is that against the Grim Reaper of you die from a sickle after beating him, the game counts it as a death and you will need to start the stage over
This was my 1st castlevania game I've played and I was hooked and when Simon's Quest came out it became my ultimate favorite instantly. š Thx for all ur hard work buddy!

This is my favorite NES game of all time, I will be watching your career with great interest.
Just found your Chanel by accident and I love it ,I'm hooked great work
Usually kill dracula with a barrage of boomerangs great video
I would love to see even though it's not retro Symphony of the Night it is my favorite.
Awesome. Did you ever play through Faxanadu?
Dracula's Curse is inevitable.
Another great video!! Look at the numbers of subs going up!
Yes!! One of my all time favs. Another epic vid!
Wizards and warriors next??
So glad to see this on my notifications
I have beaten the game already, but you always have nice new strategies to try so I was hoping you uploaded this one. As always, great work.
2 things from me 1 i always thought it was wall chicken and two im sad to you not do the jump whip thing with the end orb
GOOD VID&LOVE THE CASTLEVAINA SERIES
But wait… what about the 2nd quest? The one where you have to fight harder versions of certain enemies and then get the true ending if beat Dracula a 2nd time?
BEST CHANNEL EVER. Basically my whole child hood. Iām 40.
Can you do power blade?
The film: "The Monster Squad(1987)," reminds me of Castlevania.
Still the Bob Ross of gaming tutorials! Love the series!
This is very exciting! I have the game on the NES Classic, but like Mega Man, I didn't play it as a kid. Coming to it now, it felt so difficult. This will motivate me to load it up and properly play it soon. And then I can get on to Simon's Quest as well!
As someone currently running through it, I'd love to see run through castlevania 3, this one was both amazing and educational
brother your 8bit skills are sick. you inspired me to adopt another doggo i just got a German Shepard puppy he is too small for a headset but maybe one day š keep them sick videos coming and we will keep watching
Alright now where is KarmaJolt
Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde next plox!!!
You made that look so easy. Then I go to play it. F!!!!!!!!!!! lol, great video and breakdown. š
I loved this game as a kid, never beat it but then again in the days of the NES that was Par for the course Lol. NES games were another level of difficulty.
What a great idea for a channel. Good on you for helping people.
Something I've seen from another Youtube creator….After killing first form Dracula, the CVII body part bags scatter.
While watching, I played "Vs. Castlevania". At level 1, enemies cause 4 damage and I swear the timer is faster. I beat the original back in the day but I am not good at this one.
Great video man can't wait for the next one.
i was playing this friday and hoping you had a video for it. what are the odds?
