Castlevania 3 (NES) LOOP 2 Trevor Only - Mike Matei Live

[@OldSchoolCurt]

I swear these playthroughs are therapeutic! Anytime I’m having a bad day I put these playthroughs on it makes my problems go away!

[@muhanc.a.9299]

Mike went totally bananas with this challenge.

[@adamschroeder1452]

You’re probably Castlevania’d out but trying different paths would be awesome or just doing it with the help of one of the other characters would be cool. Congratulations anyway, I would use the “help me” code when I attempted this loop, you did it legit.

[@mansmo9513]

First time seeing loop two being played. holy cow. this is like Castlevania mixed with Ghosts & Goblins😱

[@corrado]

I looped Kung Fu, five times and have yet to find anyone who has... Too bad this was pre-youtube, I would have had bragging rights on-line (not that it matters) but yeah

[@Vachelll]

if your looking for ideas, 1. 2nd loop trevor only, both routes 2. 2nd loop grant solo, both routes 3. 2nd loop sypha solo, both routes 4. 2nd loop alucard solo, both routes

[@toyvania]

Amazing feat Mike! BTW, nothing changes after loop 2, I used to play this game when I was 11 all the time and completed 5 loops in a row just to see if anything changed after loop 2. And it doesn't.

[@Peter_1986]

I did the same thing with "Castlevania" a few years ago, and that game seemed to remain at loop 2 difficulty after I had beaten that loop. It also stopped counting the "Stages" after it got to Stage 99.

[@hawkeye7246]

Watched the Alucard's Path videos and the Whip Only challenge back to back, and yet, I'm so ready for more!

[@Peter_1986]

I have always liked when games loop like this; it feels like a very natural increase in difficulty when the game deals more damage and adds more enemies and things like that, and it definitely adds replay value.

[@hawkeye7246]

When Mike starts describing the dragon made of bones that's usually stuck to a wall, I half expected Erin to shout out "Bone daddy!" from off screen.

[@ckinch]

Just like how you were able to do 6 loops of contra (once you really got down your formula). I was able to do that, and do about 4 completed loops of Castlevania 1 (for the same reason). Loop 2 of castlevania 1, has a similar concept as your seeing in both contra and castlevania 3. But Castlevania 3 is just SO hard, that beating it on the first loop is already so punishing. Especially the last two bosses, and the tall tower in alcuard path, and the one water way. So that 2nd loop of Castlevania 3 is just crazy brutal. You didn't comment on it though, but I noticed on some parts of the levels starting already in level 1, the background is actually different for the 2nd loop here. Once you got that midway point on the first level. So that's even extra new detail to appreciate loop 2.

[@mikematei]

I wonder if there are comparisons out there to see side by side

[@magdabrownis265]

I was just thinking I haven’t watched Mike for a bit. Just watched the Talk About Games. Glad to see a long video

[@mikematei]

Watch whole thing and leave detailed comment! 😈

[@fluttershystayshigh4202]

I never knew loop 2 was this difficult, goodness fucking gracious this looked brutal, no wonder nobody ever fucks with loop 2 on Castlevania 3.

[@rena10009]

Mike's gonna have a heart attack or aneurism in the next like 5 years if he doesn't learn to relax.

[@mikematei]

What is relax

[@joshuahewlett4340]

"Are there enough bats?!" made me think of that AVGN video where James is screaming, "Why the fuck are there so many games with so many fucking bats?!"

[@joemo1033]

Fun fact...Frankenstein is actually the doctor. NOT the monster itself. Did you know that Mike?

[@TheDarkThunder]

Better tell Konami because Frankenstein is his name in the booklet. 🤷‍♂️

[@hawkeye7246]

(3:22:40) IT DIDN'T JUM-PAH!!!😂

[@_JackNapier]

48:04 DUDE!!! I have never seen nor heard of that trick!!! Awesome✌️

[@jaredt2590]

The problem with our hard mode is that not only is it harder but the developers looked at it as a bonus mode. The real ending is only shown to the player upon beating it but they put random skull segments in our game that make you do crazy things like go ridiculous amounts of time with the stop watch or use alucard to transform and de transform through them or you can press your luck with the cross like Mike did.

[@blzr2bull]

I hope that last stream of the no death Castlevania you spoke of doesn’t come for a very long time Mike, because your playthroughs are awesome 💪🏼💪🏼😎

[@MrNexor-cj8gs]

I like how I always get beer ads on Mike's videos.

[@neverifnotfornow]

Castlevainia always sweet to go back to. Love all the sounds in this game. More power to ya playing all the way through x2 geez once is punishment enough for me 😬

[@rnk99999]

You asked about what to stream next during this one. Would love to see you try kid chameleon on genesis. It is a good platformer with 100 levels. I have never beat it due to how long it is for one sitting.

[@Novapoid]

One of the most legendary runs on this channel. Since you're a masochist, I hope you consider doing loop 2 with Alucard in the future.

[@dauchin_noobin]

Funniest irony was, that @2:39:13 I literally was myself looking for batshit, thanks again Mike 💥

[@Peter_1986]

One really fun challenge on the NES is to try beating "Gun Nac" on the highest difficulty with Ricochet Bullets activated; those settings make every single stage _EXTREMELY_ difficult, and it actually still feels like a very fair challenge, since it is mostly about reaction time and wise use of weapons.

[@PrivateOGITH]

isnt Maximillian Arturo from That old TV Show' Sliders ???

[@RickJW-OSM]

So this is 'Castlevania III, Loop 2 - Electric Boogaloo'.

[@shade20x64]

Have you ever played Super Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse 2020 for PC? It's a fan made remake of Castlevania 3 in the SNES style. There's also a Castlevania 2 PC fan remake (Simon's Quest Revamped) done in a similar style. This version even adds a few cool extras that aren't in the original.

[@sigmadude8580]

I felt your pain at around the six hour mark. But also you are SO funny when youre angry!😂😂😂😂

[@joshisnot11]

Epic accomplishment 👏🏻 I need to finish the other paths and then come back to loop 2.

[@2001mark]

Gamers: CV3 should have more homebrews. 1989: hold my -home- brew.

[@RKsolid5586]

When I think of CV3 second quest, two words always haunt me: Skull heads. I hate those little fuckers.

[@mikematei]

They are prob the worst part of it

[@RKsolid5586]

@@mikematei Well....the good news is there are not that many of them on Alucard's path during the second quest. The bad news is the spots they do show up on are not too friendly toward a Trevor only run. Good luck. Can't wait to see that one when it happens.

[@heraclitusblacking1293]

Figuring out how to use the items on the stairs was a FUCKING REVELATION. I seriously think I just attained enlightenment.

[@rudager6905]

No whip upgrade run! Lol mind blown 🤣 😂

[@Peter_1986]

That goddamn part at 5:35:00 is one situation when the Watch is *_very_* useful.

[@mikematei]

If you have it

[@Peter_1986]

@@mikematei It was dropped by enemies a couple times, but I didn't bother trying to find it, since it didn't really feel worth all the effort. I felt that it was better to practise that part like normal, and just grab any Watches that I happened to get.

[@HardPumpers]

Enter your name as "AKAMA" and you start on the hard mode. However you have no access to helper characters. If you complete the game on normal first, you can carry over any helpers you had.

[@TheTogoRojo]

1078 36:09 what do you call that thing?

[@officedullard8722]

I've always been more of a 'Sunken City of Poltergeists' kind of guy.

[@mikematei]

Which route is that exactly? I should do the other route in loop 2 someday

[@officedullard8722]

Go downstairs on each path selection and that will lead you through it.

[@sammyshehole]

Keptin, thank you for uploading.

[@amjoshuaf]

Ironic that Dracula’s final form looks like a traditional Japanese crow demon, given all the nasty crows in the game

[@danielblake1537]

I still have soo many Castlevania games I need to finish beating....most of them are on my Switch. I fell in love with the Castlevania Advance games that I played for the 1st time last year, I've beating all them except Circle Of Moon, but I still have Simon's Quest, Castlevania III, Castlevania IV, Kid Dracula and Dracula X, and Bloodlines. And then upstairs on my Ps3 I still need to finish "Symphony Of The Night" I'm like at the beginning of the upside castle, and lastly I still need to finish Castlevania Chronicles!! Oh yea and the gameboy games too lol

[@alexh2790]

Belmont's Revenge on gameboy is very good; however, the ones on either side of it are a sharp decline in quality. Adventure is a slog (although I kind of enjoy it) and Legends feels like it was a complete afterthought (pedestrian level design, ugly spritework, music nowhere near as good as the previous game). I would either skip the other 2 and play Belmont's Revenge or play them in order of Adventure, Legend, then Belmont's Revenge.

[@Pathos312]

Loop 2!? Mike, you've finally gone insane :) --- I'm clearly far worse off than you as I'm here watching. Cheers dude.

[@darthvader8094]

Nice run mike. Check out Gaiares on genesis. Pretty cool shmup

[@mikematei]

That one is hard af

[@darthvader8094]

Hell yeah, couple others I found on genesis are Granada and Sub Terrania. Difficult games for sure

[@mikematei]

@@darthvader8094 I've tried those too. Sub Terrania was pretty cool I would need to practice it.

[@mtgAzim]

Hey Mike, I might be wrong but I don't think you've streamed Dracula X on super. I was never able to beat it, but as far as I did get, seemed like a perfectly good Castlevania game. So few people ever talk about it though.

[@LumbyMcGumby]

This game is so good but I never beat loop 2 after I beat Dracula once I was just too burnt out man. But I do wanna try this eventually. I wonder if loop 2 has a password.

[@HardPumpers]

Enter your name as "AKAMA" and you start on the hard mode.

[@LumbyMcGumby]

@@HardPumpers hell yeah thanks

If you had to pick a desert island game, and it had to be a NES game, this one wouldn't be a bad choice actually.

Speaking of games that are worth more than asked. Breath od the wild is just way too big to get your head around it. If somebody would 100% that game without any guide it would take years easy. I absolutely love to comeback to this Zelda game and find some koroks for half an hour or sit for a while and just explore.
