Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth Hack - Battle of the Holy

[@sandroiasevich8213]

Did you delete hack from your Google Drive?

[@Thirteen13551355]

I readded a new link in the video description itself!

[@Tech32X]

Now that was some good stuff. I love Reincarnated Soul but this was just so much more epic and this is Christopher so it makes more sense to use it. Why this was unused is beyond me.

[@sonicsynthwave]

Well. It's not unused. It's a bonus track.

[@Tech32X]

@@sonicsynthwave Bonus track on the soundtrack for the Rebirth games but it's unused in the game itself

[@imkerrusin]

The fact that Konami opted to not use this track in favor of Reincarnated Soul is just criminal in my honest opinion. This actually fits the stage much better and helps get us players amped up for the adventure we're about about embark as we guide Christopher through Dracula's Castle. Nice job with the Hack.

[@mikej2020]

The real crime committed by Konami was not including this game on the Castlevania collection.

[@ToadBradley24]

​@@mikej2020They need to do the rebirth collection with all three Konami rebirth games!

[@authorbat5562]

Couldn’t have said it better. They could have easily used Reincarnated Soul for a different stage. I would have taken it over the music from Stage 2.

[@virusinfection1]

As much as I love reincarnated soul battle of the holy fits wayyy better

[@marioguy341]

And is better.

[@KajuTheRudeMonke]

@@marioguy341 Also it's better

[@Foxhound3857]

Konami seriously opted not to use this track by default? I mean Reincarnated Soul is good, but this track is incredible and fits the first level so much better.

[@G4System]

I don't know why I feel nostalgic for this song from castlevania the adventure from gameboy to castlevania the adventure rebirth Wii Because it's really cool

[@PhoenixAlaris93]

Now all is right in the universe

[@fey0217]

dang the way battle of the holy just ✨works✨ **chef's kiss**

[@esmooth919]

We will never see this game again...

[@daseal1479]

I was pissed when they just ported the original to the Anniversary Collection, I’ve never had the chance to play Rebirth.

[@MidoseitoAkage]

The only to get it is by hacking the wii.

[@mikej2020]

@@daseal1479 they could have included both on the collection.

[@gamingyoshifanatic4082]

I think they might be sparing this game for a potential Castlevania DS Collection. For the Anniversary Collection they included Kid Dracula as the odd ball pick, considering every other game in that collection was a Classicvania with tough platforming and a very serious aesthetic, not to mention they had all released internationally up to that point except Kid Dracula itself. In the Advance Collection there was Dracula X, which was definitely the black sheep since every other game was a Metroidvania from the early 2000s. For a potential DS collection with Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclesia, I'd say The Adventure Rebirth fits well with the collection as the unique title in the bundle. All games from the late 2000s from Nintendo hardware(The DS and the Wii respectively) , however one is a little different to set it apart from the others. Not only that but considering this game has never been rereleased before despite it being a solid Classicvania and just being super underrated in general I'd say the game is good candidate as the different pick from the DS-Vanias.

[@wyattskinner697]

Just play on it on an emulator with a “legit” version of the game files 😉

[@cletusmcyeetus5975]

gonna put in a hot take here and disagree with most folks in the comments: This fits more as a last stage music than the first.

[@megamix5403]

I can actually see that myself. Vampire Killer doesn't set the mood imo

[@bigoof9654]

Never mind, I got it working and I got extremely happy. Thank you for making this patch possible!

[@Thirteen13551355]

Sorry I couldn't really help out. To be fair, this was a really one-off thing I did and I'd really need to get back into Wii hacking to understand the ins and outs again.

[@bigoof9654]

I completely understand that. But I will say its a good start. I didn't even think it was possible to modify a Nintendo Wii Ware title. I say go for it if you want to start again. But I understand if its a bit taxing.

[@bigoof9654]

Its been a little bit since I got it working so I may not even remember how I did it.

[@VampireKillerCrypt]

Very awesome! Would you ever consider adding different tracks to the other stages? Like Reincarnated Souls to Stage 2?

[@Thirteen13551355]

Hmm, I don't really see a point. Reincarnated Souls is just too Bloodlines for me.

[@authorbat5562]

I couldn’t agree more

[@authorbat5562]

@@Thirteen13551355At least it would have been more exciting than Stage 2 using a file select screen theme from Dracula X Chronicles. It made that stage feel a little dull. Great for a file select but not for a stage theme.

[@corvaliis]

This game has sound setting where you can mute the music but the SFX are still there, I would do that and just load up the song via youtube lol

[@みいつけたのエンディングで流れてくる]

最終面で流しても良さげかも

[@alexh2790]

I didnt mind them replacing the rest of the OST but battle of the Holy should have been included from the get go, and Legend of Dracula as well.

[@ZorgOficial]

I loved it, so much so that I customized my Wad channel from this Castlevania.

[@GabrielHenrique-xq9kx]

What program i have to use to patch?? pls help me

[@remorsefulmirage]

The way god intended. Thank you.

[@alexh2790]

Also, i wish some of the levels themselves resembled the settings of the og, and where are the ropes? I can't be too critical because we basically got a brand new classic experience, but if they felt the need to overhaul the game this much maybe they would have been better off remaking Belmont's Revenge. One final criticism, why did they go with a soundfont that makes the OST sound like it belongs in TMNT. It's not very fitting in a Castlevania game imho.

[@captainducra5019]

Honestly, I think Battle of the Holy should have been used instead of 'Riddle' for Dracula's secret third form... Does anyone know how to unlock Dracula's third form, btw? I've tried too many times to get it, but I've only ever made it to his second form before the game decided it was finished...

[@MexicanSheepMan]

You can only fight his third form in normal and hard modes, you can't if you're playing easy mode

[@captainducra5019]

Huh... I must have had it on Easy mode then. Lol

[@wyattskinner697]

His third phase can only be taught by fighting him on the normal or hard difficulties. In easy mode it’s skipped.

[@Ropewatch]

This song slaps so hard. Castlevania adventure sucked but Battle of the holy was an amazing track!

[@LateNightPerson]

As it should be

[@megamix5403]

Woah that's awesome!! I wonder if this would be possible for Contra and Gradius Re:Birth as well? 🤔

[@brompot5174]

this game should be on steam

[@DONNIE_DINO]

hello, i use the mod and works fine BUT it changes the music of next levels too what should i do?
