Yes, the scythe and sickle are tools for gathering or reaping. Death is personified as the Grim Reaper or the "gatherer of souls". So, Death is depicted as a dark cloaked figure (often a skeleton underneath the cloak) with a scythe because it (he) is reaping the souls of humans in death.

This game was legendary back in the day, I remember playing it when I was 6 or so and the graphics being like nothing I've ever seen. It was also terrifying at the time for a kid. The coffins coming up really upset me for some reason and I asked for someone to put a different game in, and they put in Star Fox. An I thought that was incredible for a console game since I had been brought up on PC gaming and we only owned an NES and SMB1 and SMB3. That same year Star Fox came out, we got Aces Over Europe for PC which I was much more interested in since it was about WW2 planes and utilized a flight stick. I only recently re-discovered Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts and remembered it from my youth.

Likely won't read this, but I imagine that the idea of the scythe and the dead comes from the idea that, the grim reaper harvests souls... and the scythe is used to harvest grain.

I gotta say, after watching your videos after watching so many other KZbinrs: your volume levels are perfect. Not too loud, but I can hear everything perfectly at minimum volume. One thing I wish gamers would do is learn some side compression techniques to better showcase game music during pauses. An automated process to make editing simple, while keeping levels perfect. Audio is my passion, and I feel it's overlooked on a lot of channels. My preferred DAW, Studio One has a great video player to sync up audio tracks to video. Love all your work, and always come back to these 3 episodes when I need some long spooky themed gameplay. Can't wait to see future projects from ya.

Man, PJ, one of my favorite speedrunners was working on this game forever. He is godly using the torch (which does the most damage and the quickest when used to it's maximum potential), but even he could never get really that close to putting a torch-run in the books... The time savings would've been massive. Deathless isn't the impossible achievement for this game. It's actually completing it without taking damage would be ideal. Oh, btw, the speedrunners all do the 2 loops, there aren't 1-loop runs, gotta do both for the ending. they do it in about 40 mins give or take. I'd go pull up the actual WR (it's below 40 mins i'm practically certain), but I don't remember who even has it right now so it would be more work than it usually i for me to link the speedruns, normally I have a good idea who holds it, but no clue here right now. Maybe later on I'll reply again. If you see a reply here from me, it is because I've found it to share alright guys. adios (I'll try to figure out the craziest categories that have completed runs too... ususally interesting stuff), Later.

Awesome. I'm TERRIBLE at this game, so it's pretty cool watching you guys tackle it. I must say that I wish I was better at this game-- or, at least, more patient with it. There's a lot of neat stuff that I missed out on due to my lack of skill. The rotating room, for example, is comparable to (though much harder than) the similar area in Super Castlevania IV. I had seen pictures of this in EGM way back when, but never saw it in real time until now. Then there's the really creepy stage settings; fleshy, gross, appropriate. Of course, there's also seeing all the stuff that would almost definitely kill me, over and over and over again, until I might have snapped my SNES controller in frustration. For me, this is a perfect Let's Play game, and I've really enjoyed watching you both tackle it so far. I'm also really liking the banter between you in this part. It's reminiscent of what gaming was like for me with friends back in the SNES era; we took turns playing games to their endings, and we almost always talked about really dumb stuff... most of which usually made all of us laugh. As I've noted on your other videos, they really bring back memories of what it was like playing games with buddies, where having fun was equally as important as playing and/or beating a game. That's what means a lot to me, and why I'm here almost every week, leaving mile-long comments. These videos really hit home for me and my nostalgia, and I really appreciate them.

You harvest hay with a scythe. The grim reaper harvest souls, Christ lol.

I always picked Toad in Super Mario Kart, cuz he had the best handling (IIRC).

The idea for the Grim Reaper & his Scythe come from the days of the Bubonic Plague. There were often reports made by villagers & townspeople of a figured wearing a black robe, often seen standing in fields, swinging what appeared to be a scythe. Only thing is, there was said to be some sort of black mist coming from the place where the blade would be. The villagers & townspeople often said that, if you see that guy in your fields, the plague was on its way. And thus the term "Grim Reaper" was coined for that guy. Later in the course of human society, the figure known as the "Grim Reaper" became synonymous with any depiction of death.

It has more to do with the soul being harvested (reaped) like a crop would be. The crops in this sense are the souls and the grim reaper comes to harvest so new life can be "planted."

Ha, poor James and Mike, they suffer for us and people give them so much shit for the scythe stuff ^^ I knew they were going to get reaped (huhu) in the comments section for that. For some reason, I was more bothered with James not knowing what a Harpy was in the Super Castlevania 4 video last time. That was weird as hell.Such a classic enemy in many games (among other things). Here he recognizes a hydra, no problem. Oh well I'm rambling about small stuff too now haha, thanks for the video and years of amusement and nostalgia guys! Randy
