Trivia

  • The game was featured on the cover of Nintendo Power V32.
  • During his reviews of the Castlevania series, internet celebrity The Angry Video Game Nerd commented that this is the best in the series. He does, however, comment that it is called "Super Castlevania IV" when there was no Super Castlevania I-III and that it was just Nintendo's gimmick at the time of adding "Super" to everything released to the SNES.
  • The game was just a remake of first episode of the Castlevania series on Japan.
