In this entry, we take on the last of the selectable castles, then head down into Dracula's domain.
Cloud Castle
You'll have to deal with birds as you make your way to the first door. The suit of armor carrying the spear just slowly moves forwards. If you hit them from behind, they will turn around and
The ropes with the spiked balls at the bottom will rise when you climb on them. Jump off to where you need to go before you either get carried into the spikes or get hit by the spiked ball. For the set of three in a row, you'll want to jump into the third one, then quickly jump your way to the other side. When you reach the platform on the other side, walk back and forth so Christopher Belmont is back on the center of the screen. Dor the set of four in the road, leap into the middle of the first rope, then quickly hop your way left from one rope to another.
The spiked floor after the checkpoint will go up and down. Stay at the top of the rope, then jump off to the next rope when the floor descends.
Some of the spiked ball ropes will be pulley. When you get on the first rope, you will definitely want to jump to the other side, because the ropes will not stop moving or change directions once you latch on. Watch out for ceiling spikes, too, and don't touch the mechanism at the top as it will instantly kill you.
The rope elevators will change directions every few seconds. The machines that move the ropes up and down will kill you if you touch them.
The boss here is a pair of skulls that extend from the wall and shoot their spinal cord segments to the left side of the screen as they transfer from one skull to the next. For best results, stick to one of the two skulls, watch out for the spinal cord segments and don't get hit by the projectiles that are shot out by the upper skull. I usually stick to the bottom skull.
After conquering all four castles, a fifth one will come out from beneath the lake. This is Dracula's Castle...
