Oh Dracula, You're Acting a little DIFFERENT │ Castlevania ReVamped #10 FINAL

[@LanEXHikari]

If YT wasn't so... complicated, you should just keep jamming more often 🎶🦇🎶

[@zanderstigen]

I agree

[@AdventurerAlm]

Glad to see you enjoyed this as much as I did! As to other games, like you asked at the end. Someone literally remade the original "Rogue" game in first person on steam, which is called: "Rogue-FP". Which I think you might enjoy, since we both love a good dungeon crawling adventure.

[@jonathanlazar9378]

This was the moment we were all waiting for. Jared jamming out.

[@mdkos]

Metroid only used one byte to store the missile count, so 255 was the maximum that could be represented (binary 11111111).

[@SuperN1ntendoChalmers]

It's weird how Kid Icarus, which ran on the same map, had the currency on a range of 1000.

[@mdkos]

@@SuperN1ntendoChalmers it depends on whether the devs stored a value in one byte or two, two bytes being the maximum the 8-bit NES could handle in a single operation(2 assembly MOV instructions), allowing values up to 65,535 to be stored in a variable. For currency, higher limits make more sense, for ammo, who needs more than 255 missiles at a time when that memory could be used for something else?

[@LyuSapphire]

Which is the same cap that could be contained with 2-digits at base 16 too (Or "hex" if you prefer), with "FF" being the highest, equalling 255 also in normal numbers. That cap was very common in a lot of NES games especially, like the rupees cap in the original Zelda game too. This always mystified me as a child, "why such an odd number?". But we know now.

[@ZenoDLC]

​@@mdkos I do wonder if it's stored in-memory as an 8-bit value, but then shown to the player as a higher number, like in-memory the value is 200, but the value shown is 1000

[@NinjaRunningWild]

IE - 2^8.

[@23Scadu]

255 is the maximum number you can store as an unsigned integer in a byte (that starts at 0), so I would assume that's the number in Metroid. It's also just a really common max number of all sorts of variables in old game for obvious reasons.

[@tiaxanderson9725]

Reminds me of that time a news article came out on WhatsApp increasing the group chat size to 256 people and the writer went something "not clear why WhatsApp settled on the oddly specific number" (this was from a tech reporter doing software engineering mind you) xD

[@_korbo_]

@@tiaxanderson9725 There is no clear reason why to though, because this isn't 1989 where cartridge space is extremely precious, whatsapp saving a few bytes per group in their database by making the max size 256 instead of virtually unlimited is quite asinine.

[@tiaxanderson9725]

@@_korbo_ That's not why they wrote "not clear" especially since the article was later updated to say (paraphrasing) "that's the maximum value that can be stored in a byte, thanks for the Tweets". Also this was like 8 years ago, the limit has been raised to 512 and last I heard it's 1024. (technically should be permutations as value is merely how we chose to represent the actual data stored, but that's just nitpicking for the heck of it)

[@tljscrewjob6397]

The beginning of the finale of the ReVamped series! …And Jared is just jamming to the awesome songs!

[@mdkos]

Fun fact: In the base game of V Rising where you build a character from a fledgling vampire to a direct rival of a reborn Dracula, Simon Belmont is the most powerful enemy you can face in the base game. He even has a special arranged version of "Simon Belmont's Theme" (The official name of the song from Castlevania IV's first stage) playing when you fight him. There's even a Castlevania dlc that allows you to skin the castle you build as a base in a SotN theme. To fight Simon, however, no DLC is required.

[@DyrianLightbringer]

So, 1.0 seems to be a lot easier than 1.1. In 1.1, the whip does its normal damage to Dracula, so 3 for the thunder, I think 2 for flame, and 16 for ice, but you can hit him multiple times.

[@trident042]

Omg you're right they DO look like Moogles from Secret of Mana! With like, the pygmy hammer effect on 'em!

[@MIDNIGHT0521]

This was a truly enjoyable series! I'm always up for other retro hacks or retro reimaginings such as was ReVamped, so more of that please. Thanks for the good times on Tuesdays/Thursdays & weekends, Jerd!

[@SkippD]

This was a wonderful series. Thanks for finding this neat community made games. Hope you tackle Symphony of the Night the next time you get the itch to play a metroidvania!

[@jozzeppi]

I agree with this Moogle.

[@JakubNather-il6eb]

The personality shines through and keeps viewers coming back.

[@Parallelepiped2]

Thanks for completing another classic game remake. I’ve really been hooked watching these series the last few months

[@TigerNightmare]

Samus' max missiles for each game: Metroid 255 Metroid: Zero Mission 250 (100 on Hard Mode) Metroid Prime 250 Metroid Prime Hunters 95 Metroid Prime 2: Echoes 255 Metroid Prime 3: Corruption 255 Metroid II: Return of Samus 250 Metroid: Samus Returns 264 (314 including Missile Reserve Tank) Super Metroid 230 Metroid: Other M 80 Metroid Fusion 250 (106 on Hard Mode) Metroid Dread 275 (285 including amiibo, 290 on Rookie Mode, 300 on Rookie Mode including amiibo)

[@Gyaku91]

This was such an awesome game. I kinda really wanna play now. Also. Whenever you entered the catacombs I kept getting sweet home vibes with the music lol.

[@shelbyherring92]

I know they look like moogles, but I just paused the screen to get a better look... They're pink clowns, like miniature Pennywises.

[@Mr._Sandman]

Max missiles in Metroid was 255, because that's a 16-bit address limitation for the time (hexadecimal programming 0-F)

[@wd6358]

Thats a great theory but you actually only can get 230 missiles in Super Metroid

[@chaosmiles07]

@@wd6358 Two different games. Super Metroid chose 230 Missiles (5 per Tank) because they wanted a maximum of 100 collectible items (upgrades and expansions) to make the ending score easier to calculate. NEStroid didn't care about ending collection rates, just completion time.

[@wd6358]

@chaosmiles07 yeah I thought you were talking SNES. My bad

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

Zelda 1 only had 255 rupees.

[@Mr._Sandman]

@@wd6358 >theory 255 in 8/16 bit games isn't an accident, considering 256-bytes per line of code/addressing values (the number 0 considered as well) The only 'theory' in question now is why you bothered to incorrect me. I didn't say 'Super Metroid", I said "Metroid", however, the principle is the same.

[@ringlhach]

With Prime 4 finally being a thing again, I wonder if you've heard of a little thing called "Metroid Planets."

[@Tacticslion]

“Welcome back to… Jamin’ with Jared!” - potential opening for this video (and one I’d be totally here for!)

[@ignatz20xx]

If you're still in a Castlevania mood still, you could try out: Castlevania Chronicles II or III (both great fan games)or get around to Symphony of the Night.

[@Gyrokun]

3 or 3? xD

[@ignatz20xx]

@@Gyrokun Whoops! 😅

[@samusx2175]

Simon's Quest Revamped would be cool. It came out in 2011, but gets updated. The last one was earlier this year.

[@wavetraced]

5:03 closest things to friends lol

[@tljscrewjob6397]

In regards to the flame dash, you did use it a lot to where it became second nature. So if someone didn’t spam the flame dash like you did, I don’t think it would be as hard.

[@LyuSapphire]

To be fair, a lot of the flames he didn't know how to dodge during the Dracula fight, it came to first nature to me to just think "Jared, you know you have a double jump, and can just dash over the flames until the attack is over, right? Why aren't you double-jumping?", but then he found that cheese with the initial flame dash hitbox to negate every single flame attacks and stood there like "...Wow, nevermind, that's definitely more broken than I thought" As broken as it seems, I don't know if they can fix that dash spam hitbox without making it impossible to get certain collectables, like the one at the end of the long water path with the constant horned knights flying by, which would constantly block you from getting to the other side if you didn't have a way to re-enable the hitbox to get through...Balance is a difficult thing in the end of it all...Maybe just adding an innate cooldown of a second or a bit more to avoid the heavy spam during that fight could be a solution? Hell if I know, I don't design games for a living.

[@gurvmlk]

@@LyuSapphire Or just give the flames more HP so that the flame dash won't destroy them, but most of your weapons still can. That way if you try to flame dash through the flames, you'd just take damage instead after hitting them. The flame dash deals 4 damage, so give Dracula's fireballs 5 HP.

[@KamisamanoOtaku]

Well, Jared showed me I am *bad* at the Meteor Dash. I even _tried_ using it against Dracula the day before this episode went live on KZbin - so before I saw it - and couldn't seem to block most of the projectiles. I usually use the Bible to block the projectile spam and just rely on whipping to damage Dracula (in either form). I also did a play through where I restricted myself to the Knife - that's the one where I tried the Meteor Dash against Dracula - and I found it easier to just triple Knife while kinda learning the attack patterns. I mean, with the Healing Strike and max health; I am *not* good enough to beat Dracula with less (at least, while using the Knife). If restricting myself to (mostly) the Knife sounds weird, I got curious how the different weapons would work if you relied (almost) solely on them. I make exceptions for things like Laurel (might as well heal), accidentally picking something up (just to goof off; mostly seems to be Stop Watches I accidentally grab XD), and if I think I don't need to "prove" something. Oh, and for anything not available at that point in the game. For example, I think only the Axe, Knife, Stop Watch, and Holy Water show up before the first boss.

[@jozzeppi]

Thank you to the devs for making a great game and to Jared for making a great series!

[@pharmcat8484]

Kid Klown tested, Kid Klown approved

[@ToniHyvarinen86]

Dracula's first form just went "random bullshit go!"

[@kaio0777]

man this should have the reverse castle for an update that would be cool.

[@geraq0]

The Bible and the Bible Card work well in both Dracula phases too. I enjoyed this series a lot, looking forward for more Castlevania or similar games.

[@miguellozano308]

So, it would have been amazing if the Dracula battle would mirror the one from Ducktales.

[@pharmcat8484]

That would have been awesome

[@GreatWhiteElf]

This has been an incredibly enjoyable playthrough. Peak Jared content

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

Dracula is like "Wait, I need to grow my head back.". Can you jump over Dracula? How did you get out so fast? That's what I want to know.

[@tacoleon]

You oughta get the update for, and play again, final fantasy Renaissance. It has achievements now!

[@fettel1988]

If he chooses to pursue it, my trick for the money was the glass creature duo in front of the Medusa room. Paired with the rosary, each full clear of the room was upwards of 50 gold per. Plus you could restore a number of hearts from the candles, if not more paired with the heart strike card once you get it.

[@ObsessiveSting]

For suggestions for a ROM hack basically the now translated SNES Final Fantasy VI T Edition + EX Hack. Takes a bit of effort and reading the directions to get it running right but is significantly altered and expanded as a mod of the game in many ways that doesn't change it so much as to not be FF VI in all regards. Probably would be quite a bit of work to 100% for all the new expanded content but certainly one of the best ROM hacks I've played.

[@StewNWT]

The best place to grind for money is to kill those those stained glass gem beasts over and over near the save point crystal in the top left corner of the map

[@grawderu]

To grind money, buy the card that triples cash drop but you die in one hit. Then farm the fishmen in the beginning. Add corpse run if concerned with your skill.

[@trident042]

As far as a something else to do goes - might be worth giving a look to Mega Maker? It's been a LONG while since I've looked at its features but I know they have lots of updates and I'm sure there's levels aplenty to try out in there.

[@darana77]

Awesome series - thanks for the run through!

[@coolishollywood]

Such a captivating upload.

[@jeremiah1293]

Nicely done. I’m really liking these romhack playthroughs

[@zannrazor8569]

what a fun looking game

[@norbertodominguez1033]

Boots, healing strike and the bible, that make those two first fases a joke.

[@KamisamanoOtaku]

I *definitely* agree on Healing Strike and the Bible; haven't tried it with the Heavy Boots Card. I wouldn't think the Boots necessary for Phase 1, but thinking of Phase 2... well, like I said, I'll *need* to try this. XD

[@MinisterWighty]

Can't say it enough; Chrono Trigger : Enhansa Edition is a QoL improvement hack that ends up making a more fun, challenging version of the game we all love.

[@felipeantoniorodriguezpint6520]

there is a card that give you extra money but die in one hit, but just outside the store, next to a save point is a bone dragon, i think thats the play to grind money faster, it could work

[@Drunkbob5]

So funny you didn't realized there is a card to farm your money. Use the corpse card and you would get 3 times the money and go back towards the beginning and go in and out the room. Easy collect $1000 within 5 mins.

[@Samael1113]

FTR, Jared is confusing Super Metroid's missile count (230 regular), with the limitations of early 8-bit gaming having 255 as the max for a lot of things - Like TLoZ's Rupee count.

[@videogamefan101]

The last episode of this playthrough, and I omly just realized. This is called Castlevania Re-Vamped. Like Vampire. I may be dumb.😅

[@TheGreatIcewind18]

0:43 "Really? Not a single cross?" I know he's talking about the throwing cross, but it's funny that he says that when there are two items RIGHT THERE with crosses on them.

[@samlopes95]

You really should play Symphony of the Night sometime. I really enjoyed your Castlevania playthroughs, especially Dawn of Sorrow. If you're looking for interesting fangames, there's Castlevania: The Lecarde Chronicles 2.

[@shoken4421]

I'm sure this could be beaten in under two hrs you just gotta commit everything to memory and pick up the health and heart items

[@Krelen107]

ty!

if only jerd knew beating the game 100% would unlock both endings...

[@nathanr.494]

this is a fun cool playthrough. :)

[@breathstealer5486]

Jareds wrong anyway its 230 missiles in super metroid

[@mario_maniac9368]

This was fun to watch 😆 i really enjoyed it jerd and i dont see why people would complain about using the cross thats my favorite weapon in most the castlevania

[@sammyshehole]

It's not a fan game, rather it's an indie game that's a throwback to the old school era, but have you ever checked out Infernax? Awesome game.

[@gizmochapa7657]

[@mattahrens5338]

Super Metroid Max Missles were 230.

[@bradhunt2857]

The only randomizer/ romhack i want to see you play is FF6 Beyond Chaos. But also, i started playing through Earthbound and thought "Hey i want to watch Jared playthrough it." But i was disappointed to find that earthbound is not on any of your KZbin channels. So i am requesting an Earthbound playthrough. Its on switch online so that makes it easier.

Hey I don't know if you or the editor picked up on it, but there was a buzzing whenever you were speaking

[@kevinmagee8185]

>Remember that there were moogles in Secret of Mana? This is not that surprising if you consider that the Mana series is a Final Fantasy spin-off. The first game in the series was subtitled "Final Fantasy Gaiden" in Japan, and was sold as "Final Fantasy Adventure" in the US. It also had chocobos and Cid as an NPC.

Was so fun to watch! Now for castlevania 2 like this haha

[@renatocorvaro6924]

I think the thing about buying the cards is that it probably wouldn't have been grindy if A) You hadn't lost around 2k at the beginning B) You didn't dash past all the enemies for the last hour of gameplay That said, I'm not complaining, this was a great playthrough.

Shout outs to the Secret of Mana Moogles... They exist, and it's the worst status ailment in the game to be turned into one. Nothing filled me with more dread in the game than being hit with something and seeing the top of the screen say "[Character] has been Moogled!".... Well, maybe Ballooned. Just as annoying, but now you can't move either. And since I'm here, shout outs to Secret of Mana Theater. I miss that animated webcomic.
