From the unforgetable midi tunes, to Jazz, to Gothic Rock and Symphonic orchestras. Castlevania has always managed to excel in the music department. One of the things that puts a smile on a longtime Castlevania player is when Konami arranges an older song and uses it on a new game. Sometimes they reuse the same song many times (like Vampire Killer and Bloody Tears) and other times they remake obscure songs from lesser games such as Castlevania Chronicles and Haunted Castle. Konami even did the unthinkable, they used music from a non Castlevania MSX2 game - called King's Valley 2 - in Portrait of Ruin. I can't complain about it though, that song fit the game perfectly and the melody is amazing. In such cases, I will also list where a certain music track comes from, if it's from a previous game of the series. I will try my best to note the titles of all of the music tracks that have appeared on all the Castlevania games as accurately as possible. Most of the track titles come from official soundtracks, some of these soundtracks are written only in Japanese, so there is no way to get a perfect translation all the time unless Konami provides us with one.

Notes: Even though the FDS and MSX2 Akumajou Dracula games were developed at practically the same time, the FDS version was released first on September 1986 and the MSX2 version on October 1986. (*) Unknown to many, the game was never released for the Famicom in cartridge format until 1993, it was really released first on disk format for the Famicom Disk System in 1986. This release has a name entry screen before starting the game that features a music track not used again in any of the ports made to the game. In 1987, the game was ported to the American NES, and since cartridges (back then) didn't have the saving capabilities of the FDS discs, it had to ditch the name entry screen and with it went the music used on it. Also in 1987, the game was ported by Nintendo to their Playchoice 10 and Vs. Arcade series. The music remained the same as the NES version. In 1990, the game was ported to the PC-DOS, Amiga and Commodore 64. The PC version has the same music tracks (hideous quality included) but some tracks were removed, such as the boss battle. Instead, the level tune keeps playing during the battle. The Commodore 64 version retains the same music, but the boss battle music is also missing. I don't know if it is a glitch or not, but on the Dracula Phase 1 battle just loops the game over song over and over. In the Amiga version, the "Vampire Killer" track now plays on the main menu, the intro music is completely changed and the original is now used on the map screen after a level is over, "Wicked Child" (which is the stage 3 music on the original) now plays on the first stage, there's also no boss theme, "Walking on The Edge" (which is the stage 4 music on the original) now plays on the second stage. I couldn't stomach the game any further, but I guess similar changes will be found on later levels. Since those 1990 awful ports were not made by Konami, I'm not going to count them here. In 2002, the game was released for the PC as a compilation called "Konami Collector's Series: Castlevania & Contra" and it included all 3 NES Castlevania games, the first 2 NES Contra games and the NES Jackal. The music remained the same as the originals. In 2004, the game was released in Japan for the Game Boy Advance as "Famicom Mini Vol. 29 Akumajou Dracula" and in 2005 for the USA as "Classic NES series: Castlevania". The music remained the same as the NES version. Akumajou Dracula / Castlevania has also been ported several times to various Mobile Phone services both in Japan and the USA, usually in the form of chapters. The music remained the same as the NES version. The track names come from several official soundtracks and they are confirmed to be the actual official English music titles. -------------------------------------------------------- Song Title Game's Location Original In ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Underground Name Entry Screen (*) Prologue Entrance Animation -+- Vampire Killer Stage 1 -+- Stalker Stage 2 -+- Wicked Child Stage 3 -+- Walking On The Edge Stage 4 (Below Ground) -+- Stalker Stage 4 (Above Ground) -+- Heart of Fire Stage 5 -+- Out of Time Stage 6 -+- Poison Mind Boss Fight -+- Nothing To Lose Dracula Battle Phase 1 -+- Black Night Dracula Battle Phase 2 -+- ????

Notes: The second of the Akumajou Dracula project that many thought came out before the Famicom version. This one was released in October, a month after the FDS version (which was released in September). It is best known by its European name, Vampire Killer, probably to distinguish it from the FDS/NES version. The sound is of much lower quality than the FDS version, however, some tracks have additional instruments added to them that makes them have a certain charm that the NES versions don't have. For example, the stage 2 (Stalker) and stage 3 (Wicked Child) themes, are much slower and a certain added instrument gives it enough edge over the NES version that makes both compositions stand on their own. This version doesn't contain the name entry screen music found in the original Famicom Disk System version and the ending contains a completely different song. There's no official soundtrack for this specific version of the game, so the track names come from several official soundtracks based on the NES version. -------------------------------------------------------- Song Title Location Original In ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Prologue Entrance Animation CV Vampire Killer Stage 1 CV Stalker Stage 2 CV Wicked Child Stage 3 CV Walking On The Edge Stage 4 (Below Ground) CV Stalker Stage 4 (Above Ground) CV Heart of Fire Stage 5 CV Out of Time Stage 6 CV Poison Mind Boss Fight CV Nothing To Lose Dracula Battle Phase 1 CV Black Night Dracula Battle Phase 2 CV ????

This version of the game is missing some sound channels that the 1988 NES cartridge version added when the game was ported. This made the music in the NES version sound much better. "Bloody Tears" was originally composed first for the Arcade game Haunted Castle, but the song also ended up being used for Castlevania 2 which was in development for the Famicom Disk System and in turn, ended up being released first. In the original FDS version, the mansion theme (Dwelling of Doom), was also played on the gates outside of them. In the 80's, the game was ported as one of those LCD Tiger Handheld games, but it is not an accurate rendition of the game. I assume the music, if there's any, will be different too. Since the game was not made by Konami, I will not count it here. In 2002, the game was released for the PC as a compilation called "Konami Collector's Series: Castlevania & Contra" and it included all 3 NES Castlevania games, the first 2 NES Contra games and the NES Jackal. The music remained the same as the originals.

Notes: "Bloody Tears" was originally composed first for this game, but the song also ended up being used for Castlevania 2 which was in development for the Famicom Disk System and in turn, ended up being released first. The stage 1 theme, fan translated as "Cross Your Heart", is now officially known as "Crucifix Held Close". This is due to the fact that there wasn't an official translation of that track until the DS Portrait of Ruin was released in the USA. Konami made a mistake when naming the Stage 4 and 5 songs. You see, Stage 4 is an underground type level, but according to the 2006 release of the "Oretachi Geesen Zoku: Haunted Castle Mini CD" soundtrack, the song is called "Clocktower's Fear". Stage 5 is a clocktower type level yet the song is called "Underground Melodies" acording to the same soundtrack. However, the 1988 soundtrack release of the "Konami Game Music Collection Volume 1" has both tracks combined into one file. In this one the tracks are named correctly and the song plays in order; Stage 4 first - called Basement Melody, then Stage 5 - called Clocktower's Fear. Whoever was in charge of naming the songs didn't do his homework because the song used on the clockwork stage (stage 5) was reused in Dawn of Sorrow under the name of "Underground Melodies", instead of "Clocktower's Fear". So it's obvious they looked at the 2006 soundtrack, remade the stage 5 song and used the incorrect name. This is not the first time Konami has done that. In Japan, the game was ported to the Playstation 2 as the 2006 release of "Oretachi Geasen Zoku Sono 15: Akumajou Dracula". As far as I know, the music remained the same. The official "Oretachi Geesen Zoku: Haunted Castle Mini CD" soundtrack contains a bonus track named "Akumajou Dracula Super Sweep Mix", which is a medley of "Crucifix Held Close", "Don't Want Until Night" and "Bloody Tears". This track is not used in the game. The track names come from several official Japanese soundtracks, however, most of the names have not been officially translated by Konami. It is possible to find different title translations than the ones shown here. -------------------------------------------------------- Song Title Location Original In ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Dracula's Resurrection Title Screen -+- Wedding March Tragedy Entrance Animation -+- Crucifix Held Close Stage 1 -+- Devil's Lullaby Stage 2 -+- No Return Stage 2 Draw Bridge Event -+- Bloody Tears Stage 3 CV2 Underground Melodies Stage 4 -+- Clocktower's Fear Stage 5 -+- Don't Wait Until Night Stage 6 -+- Devil's Revival Boss Fight -+- Dracula's Room Dracula Battle Phase 1 -+- The Last Fight Dracula Battle Phase 2 -+- Fight Again Stage Clear -+- Ending -Demon Castle's Collapse- Ending -+- Never End Player Dies -+- Game Over Game Over Screen CV2 Lullaby Sent To The Devil Ranking Screen -+- ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Code: !CVA Title: Dracula Densetsu (GB, 1989, Japan) Castlevania: The Adventure (GB, 1989, USA) Composer: H. Funauchi, S. Fukutake, N. Hanzawa Music Rating: 7/10 Stars Status: Incomplete Missing: Official names of the unnamed music tracks. Notes: The stage 4 track (Revenge) has some very subtle "Heart of Fire" and "Bloody Tears" references sprinkled across the song. Both tunes are from Castlevania 1 and 2 respectively. Konami's own soundtrack, "Akumajou Dracula Best 2" incorrectly switched the order of the stage 2 and 3 theme. Let me explain: Stage 2 is a cave level and it's titled "Darkness", which is fitting for it, Stage 3 is filled with 1-hit death spikes and it's titled "Death Fair", which is also fitting for it. However, the soundtrack switched the song order. So, "Darkness" (which is the stage 2 song) is now the stage 3 theme and "Death Fair" (which is the stage 3 song) is now the stage 2 theme. This is not the first time Konami has made a mistake like this. The game was included in the 1997 Konami GB Collection Vol. 1 in Japan and in 1999 for the Konami GB Collection Vol. 1 in Europe. The music remained untouched. The track names come from several official soundtracks and they are confirmed to be the actual official English music titles. -------------------------------------------------------- Song Title Location Original In ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Start BGM Game Start -+- Battle of The Holy Stage 1 -+- Darkness Stage 2 -+- Death Fair Stage 3 -+- Revenge Stage 4 -+- Kill!

Sasaki, Jun Funahashi, Yukie Morimoto Music Rating: 10/10 Stars Status: Incomplete Missing: Official names of the unnamed music tracks. Notes: The Japanese version of the game includes a more elaborate musical compostion. The names are the same, but the quality and instrumentation are different because of a more advanced sound chip that Konami used in the Japanese version. Even though the music sounds great and in high quality, nostalgia wins this time for me. I'll stay with the American soundtrack. The stage 1 song, "Beginning", is known as "Dreams of Triumph" in the 1990 "Akumajo Dracula Famicom Best" soundtrack. The Stage 8 song, "Déjà vu", is actually "Vampire Killer", the stage 1 song from the first Castlevania. In 2002, the game was released for the PC as a compilation called "Konami Collector's Series: Castlevania & Contra" and it included all 3 NES Castlevania games, the first 2 NES Contra games and the NES Jackal. The music remained the same as the originals. In 2006, the game was ported to Japanese cellphones. As far as I know, the music remained the same as the original. The track names come from several official soundtracks and the game's own soundtest. They are confirmed to be the actual official English music titles. -------------------------------------------------------- Song Title Location Original In ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Prelude Story Intro -+- Epitaph Name Entry / Password Screen -+- Prayer Entrance Animation -+- Beginning Stage 1 -+- Clockwork Stage 2 -+- Mad Forest Stage 3 -+- Dead Beat Stage 4-1 -+- Anxiety Stage 4-A -+- Nightmare Stage 5-1 -+- Rising Stage 5-A -+- Demon Seed Stage 6-1A -+- Aquarius Stage 6-1B -+- Pressure Stage 6-4B -+- Stream Stage 6-A -+- Anxiety Stage 7-1 -+- Aquarius Stage 7-A -+- Déjà Vu Stage 8 CV Riddle Stage 9 -+- Pressure Stage A -+- Destiny Path Selection -+- Encounter Spirit Encounter -+- Boss Fight Boss Fight -+- Overture Dracula Battle Phase 1 & 2 -+- Big Battle Dracula Battle Phase 3 -+- Block Clear Stage Clear -+- All Clear All Clear -+- Evergreen Ending -+- Flash Back Staff Roll -+- ????

Check the "Konami Famicom Music Memorial Best Vol 3" soundtrack for the original Japanese names. Notes: The "Go Go At The Castle" song is a silly and funny remix of "Beginning", the first level tune from Castlevania 3. Although the game is not an actual Castlevania game, it is related to the same universe due to the fact that it uses several Castlevania related enemies, graphics, music and even the main character is a chubby and funny version of Dracula. The track names come from the "Konami Famicom Music Memorial Best 3" official soundtrack. However, they might not be correctly translated. -------------------------------------------------------- Song Title Location Original In ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ????

Notes: The title screen music is called "Demon Castle Dracula", which is also the Japanese name of the game. I assume that the American version of the name should or would be called "Castlevania", but since there's no official American soundtrack and the game's soundtest does not provide any names, I decided to leave the Japanese translation. The stage 1-1 theme, called "Prologue", is not related to the original Castlevania's intro theme also titled "Prologue". The Stage Map C theme is a slow and short version of "Bloody Tears". The story intro and Dracula's Battle Phase 1 theme, titled "Dracula's Theme" and "Dracula's Room" respectively, are technically different songs that share the same basic melody. The story intro theme is longer and much slower paced, while the Dracula's battle one is shorter and much faster paced. The Stage Clear victory fanfare is a short version of the stage 1 music, the "Theme of Simon Belmont". The track names come from several official Japanese soundtracks, however, most of the names have not been officially translated by Konami. It is possible to find different title translations than the ones shown here. -------------------------------------------------------- Song Title Location Original In ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Demon Castle Dracula Title Screen -+- Dracula's Theme Story Intro -+- ????

Funauchi Music Rating: 10/10 Stars Status: Incomplete Missing: Official names of the unnamed music tracks. Notes: The game has a soundtest if you put all hearts as your password. In that soundtest, the American version just gives you generic track names such as BGM 1 and Boss 1, while the Japanese version gives you the actual names as used on the official soundtrack releases. The Dracula Castle stage 2 theme, titled "Passpied", is taken from an actual 17th century dance that originated in Brittain called passepied (French for passing feet) and the Soleiyu battle theme, titled "Chromatische Phantasie", is taken from Sebastian Bach's Chromatic Fantasia symphonic composition. This is the first time Konami has used non gaming music in a Castlevania game. "Chromatische Phantasie" is referred to as "C. Phantasie" on the Japanese game's soundtest. The game was included in the 1998 Konami GB Collection Vol. 3 in Japan and in 2000 for the Konami GB Collection Vol. 4 in Europe. The music remained untouched. The track names come from several official soundtracks and the Japanese game's own soundtest.

Notes: The "File Load BGM" track plays while you wait for the system to boot up the game. The official 1993 Dracula X soundtrack, which includes music from Dracula X, Bloodlines and Akumajou Dracula X68000, calls the game loading track as "File Load BGM". However, the 2001 Castlevania Chronicles official soundtrack calls it just "Load BGM". In the game's own soundtest, the stage 8 theme is reffered to as "Theme of Simon Belmondo" (Belmondo is Belmont's last name in Japan), but the official 2001 Castlevania Chronicles soundtrack calls it just "Simon's Theme". The track names come from several official soundtracks and the game's own soundtest. They are confirmed to be the actual official English music titles. -------------------------------------------------------- Song Title Location Original In ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ File Load BGM Game Loading (check soundtest) -+- Black Mass Opening Cutscene -+- ????

Notes: Stage X is a short joke level you get if you don't have the correct system card while booting the game. In that level, you play as a short, stocky, blobby Richter and when you reach Maria, it says that "you need a System Card 3 to be able to play the game" in the background. The music playing here is "Opus 13". There is also a Stage 0, but that one only contains sound effects, so it will not be counted here. The "Overture" track (played during the opening cutscene) is a much faster version of "Divine Bloodlines", the stage 1 song. It has nothing to do with the song also named "Overture" from Castlevania 3 though. Rondo's stage 2 song (Vampire Killer) is mixed with the opening of "Stalker", which is the stage 2 song in the original Castlevania. The stage 7 song, previously known as (rough translation) "Den", is now officially named "The Nest". This is due to the fact that there wasn't an official translation of it until the PSP Dracula X Chronicles was released in the USA. The original Japanese version is still called (rough translation) "Den" though. Also, "The Nest", is a composition made out of almost undistinguishable parts taken from "Vampire Killer" and "Bloody Tears", from Castlevania 1 and 2 respectively. If you rescue Iris & Tera with Richter (or Iris, Tera & Annette with Maria), you'll get the song called "Demo Scene 01" during the cutscene. The cutscene's music you get when rescue Annette with Richter, titled "Demo Scene 03", has some "Vampire Killer" (the original Castlevania's stage 1 song) refferences at the end of the song. If you rescue Annette with Maria, you get the "Demo Scene 01" music instead. The music you get in the imprisoned Annette cutscene, contains some "Demo Scene 03" refferences at the end of the song. The boss fight theme, previously known as (fan translation) "Dancing In Phantasmic Hell", is now officially known as "Dark Desires".
