Simon had to run through this quickly. He needed to make his Smash debut.

[@pikool]

"Ok Drac, listen, this Is gonna be quick, i gotta attend another game"

[@fallenafterling4128]

Yesss!

[@BigWesProductions]

He got to Smash by going BACK to the level Death was the boss in after Death reaped Luigi's soul

You went for the slowrun world record.

[@frankstein6835]

Z7Games the game is super hard but it only took me like a month or 2 to beat

I hear you, I didn't beat Mike Tyson until 1999.

it is... in a different way. ;)

[@mikaelmellbris6103]

I gave up, I simply can´t get past the grim reaper. It was not meant to be.

[@RenanSamersla]

The soundtrack of this game is amazing

[@johanpettersson6995]

And its i grill who wrote it!!

[@Herold_sc2]

Check out 8 bit music theory for some in depth analysis

[@tonysammons4764]

Renan Samersla cradle of filth did some song's for castlevania

[@AutoAbsolute]

IGN: 4/10 - not enough “what just happened?”

[@jessebrown5715]

Simon is a bamf. He heard Dracula needed killing and walked up to the gate and 11 minutes later he is done. Bask in the glory of the old world as you are surrounded by unimaginable riches and beautiful women.

[@schaefer76]

Yeah but now he needs to speedrun Simon's quest

[@chaosgyro]

I'm not sure "unimaginable riches" and "beautiful women" belong in the same sentence as "Old World".

[@nickfanzo]

Damn right they do

[@mrrivets10]

A game that took me 23 years to beat, he beats in under 12 minutes.... That's awesome.

[@Zambokii]

mrrivets10 23 years .. ur pathetic

[@mrrivets10]

Well, some things are more important. Besides, it's "you're"....not "ur".

[@OHKAYBYE]

Lol i feel ya man. As an adult i noticed alot of the video games i would play on the snes when i was young were easier than i remember.

[@samantha19884]

Whoever says "ur" instead of "you're" doesn't have the right to call anyone pathetic. Seriously.

[@Hydroculator]

I remember spending weeks on that damn Grim Reaper boss. And he kills it without even letting it move.

[@ConqueringWeightLoss]

For once, a player owns Castlevania...instead of Castlevania owning the player.

Sometimes the 70s black velvet black light store makes a comeback and kidnaps you. It happens.

[@PaulTovar]

Do you continue to play once you get the world record or is your life over

[@Pyropankake455]

You can't just keep a WR, you gotta cement it. Push it further and further second by second until you are as far ahead as you can be.

[@undisclosedsteve6361]

No, you never had a life to begin with

[@garrazinneq]

an ai should play it and get the minimum possible record, so human players may know if their world record is improvable.

[@Jasonhoods]

That's not a good way to tell. Would an AI have known to get hit by enemies to circumvent floors? The human element is more powerful than an AI's ability to input commands at 100% efficiency.

[@garrazinneq]

Bloody517 maybe ai can learn this kind of tactics but i dont think they it can learn glitches and bugs. So, you may be right.

[@superduty4556]

I just love how Konami used the same sprite for a Ninja Turtle.

[@loweffortproductions1985]

Wait, Kmac as in the meme guitar guy is also a speedrunner?

[@USALeonHeart]

My thoughts exactly!

[@brutusjudas5842]

I’ll do you one better: WHY just happened?

[@Darthadios]

This is one of my all time favourite games and one of the best games ever, a timeless classic. Played this through last week. But this speedrun is very finicky, there is a lot what can go wrong like damage boosting jumps, jumping over the dragon head cannons or walking through the axe knights. I can beat this game easily but never tried to speedrun it.

[@atranfanatic]

I would love to just beat it once. And I have tried for many years. The furthest I have gotten is the grim reaper stage, then it falls apart with the knights and medusas. lol

[@BLAZENYCBLACKOPS]

Love his reaction, so genuine but reserved at the same time.

[@iihellionii9742]

Vampire Killer and Bloody Tears are fantastic songs, but Wicked Child will always be my jam.

[@waynedsouza6412]

Wow! I think I've takes dumps longer than this speed run.Nice job!

[@krazyaust7720]

Dracula: hey guys, just woke up from my nap and I'm ready to- JESUS CHRIST IT'S SIMON!!!

[@JohnHassink]

This was a fascinating watch from beginning to end. I don't the remember the last time I yelled "Huh?", "Dafuq?", and "Oh, come on!" at the screen this much.

[@7t2z28]

I'm really digging that "fall up the platform" trick. That is too awesome!

[@DancinDane]

Insane run! How does he stunlock the bosses like that?

[@Erikhasyou]

What's the deal with killing the boss with one hit (bat and mummies)? That isn't what happened when I played!

[@mike48931]

Critical hit from hitting the bat as it hits you as well as 4 times damage for hitting him while on the stairs.

[@mike48931]

Also there is a damage multiplier for hitting the mummies when they are grouped together

[@se7enist]

To save someone the search, it wasn't quite a world record, but he does hold 3rd on that, and the run is still something to be damned proud of.

[@yul2033]

How did he kill some bosses with just one hit?

[@metaltom2003]

Julio Cesar Guillermo Gongora They all have a weakness to a certain subweapon, which can also be increased by the damage multiplier pickups.

[@ufclasvegas2011]

Glitching the game

[@wolfmerrik]

If you hit a boss on the same frame it damages you (like the first bat) it causes a one hit kill. This is also how some hits on Dracula do so much damage.

[@sr.metang8193]

Wolf Merrik thanks for the explanation

[@lordbiffington]

Wolf - Holy dogshit, I never would have guessed that.

[@mrspeeddemon727]

I didn’t realize you could get through this game that fast. I’m impressed.

[@poshko41]

What just happened? You just set a new world record son. Go, now, our hero...

[@conjurer5725]

If we ever have to fight Dracula, this guy is controlling the robots we send

[@knox7945]

This run is faster than me finishing taking a dump

[@caleb9875]

Long dump...

[@doncardegena326]

IGN let's see one of you guys do a speed run of Ninja Gaiden!! Also awesome run...

[@MFields2178]

Don Cardegena better yet, Ninja Gaiden 3.

[@kaikwonfu2633]

MFields2178 Yea, NG 3 is so much harder than these classics. RNG is strong with new games. Classics were easily read in comparison.

[@BLAZENYCBLACKOPS]

Dude plays in the dark, under a black light, with shades on like he is Dracula himself, rock on dude!

[@kennyryan5773]

I have been playing this game since it released in 1986, and even I was very impressed with all the tricks to cut time down. Best I could do is beat the game with 1 life. This guy's a genius.

Wait is this a world record?

[@farmsalot1233]

KrazyNinja yes

[@MRYOSHILOVER]

no

[@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu]

it's top 3

[@wolfmerrik]

It was, 7 months ago, then Janthe took it from him about 2 months after he set this. However just last week a new record by JC583 was set.

[@MixMasterLar]

Damn I didn't realize the run was that hotly contested

[@hypemynizzle]

This speedrun made me finish this game for the first time. *Thanks*

[@kelerews]

why do I find speed runs so fascinating?

[@5065ca]

I never knew you could get an extra man from 30,000 points, nice, this game is still hard to me.

[@tamaking86]

You killed that very first bat boss with only 1 crack of the whip?!

[@marcsannicolas4074]

The ending is how I felt the first time I beat ninja gaiden on the n.e.s

[@GraspPrint]

What just happened man you beat Castlevania in 11 minutes

[@RDRPORKRYAN7]

Never thought of using the hitstun as a double jump.

[@renegadekyttnn1536]

These speedruns make me wonder if they actually grab all the secret items and whatnot as they go through

[@nullvoid7188]

If its any% there most likely only to grab the necessary items or items that can help speed things up which may or may not include secrets.

[@JeffreyOsb]

What happened to that first bat!??!?!

[@LOZIOTONIO]

This speed run is most betterable !

[@AutismFamilyChannel]

I first played this game at age 8. Beat it at age 36. So I'm getting there, lol.

[@Metalman200xdamnit]

You beat this game like it owed you money.

[@dorpth]

Sounds like a dead ringer for Noah "Spoony" Antwier.

And no one is certain what is being talked about after the 5th or 6th "what just happened" lmfao

[@abacab1]

how did you kill the first boss with just one hit?

[@viklasthemad]

I find myself wondering... What just happened? Does anyone know? It's been over a year, and I'm really hoping someone knows by now... Please, tell me, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!

[@TwesomE]

How did he manage to kill the bat with a couple of hits? Anyway at least this one is a normal speedrun without glitch parlor tricks.They should separate the kind of speedruns to cheat run's,glitch run's and of course normal speedrun's! My only problem was his attitude a little,low a little the volume dude we know you are good at it people will still love you after all that you did don't worry about it.Also correct the title since he did it in 11.32.64,don't try too hard for more views,the video already gone pretty wild in that section.

[@komradekontroll]

when you get hit on the same frame as dealing damage it "crits" the enemy. Glitches are a very normal part of speedrunning and is very skill intensive.

[@TwesomE]

Glitches glitches everywhere!

[@IAmElectrospecter]

There are sometimes "glitchless" categories of games.

[@faust8569]

Well done awesome video 🤘love this game nostalgic, reminds me of ninja gaiden with ghouls and creatures

[@xombiemike]

So happy Paul did it!
