The final Castlevania for NES was released in September 1990 and takes place before the other two. In the 15th century, Trevor Belmont makes his way towards Dracula's Castle and can choose to team up with one of three possible spirit partners: Grant, Sypha, or Alucard, each with quite different abilities. With many paths to take through the game, there are many ways to play. Source: speeddemosarchive.com/Castleva...
For those who stumble across these videos, a speed run is a video of a person or persons, completing a game as fast as possible using any means possible. This can include glitches, abusing in-game mechanics and skipping items or even playing events out of sequence.

Funk is a saint. I couldn't keep my patience with an announcer talking over my entire run.

[@argylega]

Funkdoc does fantastic commentary on his runs...when the announcer shuts up & lets him actually talk.

[@zingodoom]

6:10 dat timing tho

[@EuSouRCS]

oh my god,I didn´t realize that watching the run,what a piece of synchronicity

[@waffman11]

I love how excited funkdoc gets when he nails a good skip or a tough jump! Really adds to the run

[@hardrocker943]

Everyone has something that they love. For some it's sports, for others it is movies or books. For these guys, its specific video games.They love to learn every aspect of the game. And they try to beat it as fast as possible. They have raised over 1 Million Dollars for Cancer doing this. What have the people making fun of them done? Nothing.

[@zatozatoichi7920]

Except clueless bitching. That in itself counts as something for some.

[@thewal1ofsleep]

Incredible how much more "mainstream" speedrunning has become since Twitch really blew up. The idiots mocking the old school speedrunners and stream VODs as nerdy must be eating their words now. GDQ is huge.

[@theanimehub2180]

Imagine spending your entire life, replaying a video game over and over again and then actually feeling accomplished 🤣🤣. God what a waste of existence. Truly we've reached a new depth of degeneracy.

[@Kira1Lawliet]

@@theanimehub2180 Better than the millions upon millions of people in the developed world alone who waste their days working minimum wage jobs for bosses that don't give a shit about them doing work that doesn't matter in the slightest.

[@NBLRMT]

​@@theanimehub2180​ Being good at a game is based. Watching anime is true degeneracy. No effort required.

[@BigFloofyCat]

I love it when he says "Yes!"

[@donjuan322]

For future AGDQ, please keep the commentators talking to a minimum. It ruins the playthrough and you can tell that some of the players are annoyed because they want to share some of their knowledge about the game or the levels and skips

[@rdm2604]

Well said

[@c.s.hayden3022]

The speed run is impressive in and of itself, but I really love how openly dorky all of these people are. Funkdoc's ridiculous coordination mixed with the cringe factor of everyone in the room made me sit all the way through to the end. That very clever manipulation of the ice spell toward the end made me look at the game differently- Funkdoc is the fuckin Glenn Gould of Castlevania 3.

[@dvswia1831]

Is the announcer Dracula?

[@Jerkwad152]

Yes.

[@numismaticstacker]

he's a swedish meatball!

[@OjibweCree]

DV Swiatek Yeah Dracula made a special appearance

[@KassayeGebre]

I wish I could watch this run because I line this guy's playing. but the announcer gave me a headache from watching castlevania 1 and 4.

[@jacobfife5]

HHaha

[@keeganbosch5462]

I love watching these old GDQ videos and seeing how far we've come! What an amazing ride it has been from the first million to now

[@slaughterhouserock]

Been waiting on this one; love Funkdoc's runs. Thanks!

[@zzonkmiles]

That was a seriously impressive run. I am not a speed runner at all, but I can totally respect what you're doing here. LOVED the Sypha shortcuts. From one gamer to another, game on! And much respect.

[@clutchkman]

You rock Funkdoc!

[@zohasreturned]

GDQs have come a LOOOOOONG way since this. Run and runner were good though!

[@BlackBirdSweep]

you've gotten fat.

[@thatsstupid5350]

My favorite thing about the video is the beginning. He's a bigger nerd than me and yet, walks up with swag.

[@daddypnot3d]

I love how excited he gets. Very passionate about his craft. Go funkdoc!!

[@MPCB-oj3hh]

This game is brutally tough. Impressive run!

[@rolzhv5527]

I always like to watch a good castlevania speedrun while im smoking a fat join after hard day - work.

[@shadowjuan2]

Nice idea

[@horseblinderson4747]

I prefer blunts and Pocoyo, but hey any plan is a good one next to none at all.

[@nikboutch1818]

wow funkdoc made this game look way too easy, believe me, IT`S NOT !!

[@Mongo1210]

Watching you guys makes me realize I know nothing about games and I always love to learn more!

[@woobi4739]

One of the coolest soundtracks ever.

[@WegnerTheDeftones]

Nothing but the best from FunkDoc. Sinister1, PJ, and FunkDoc are my top fav runners.

[@ivanhenley]

That was a NICE run. Very impressive!

[@akaimizu1]

Quite an insane run, and great reflexes on that last bat. That's truly taking command of the game.

[@herts9999]

mesmerized for 34 minutes. well done!

[@nexion218]

Funkdoc is awesome to watch!

[@killhacker5776]

Funkdoc is levels above . insane patience and timing .

[@haydensiska8454]

Incredible. Thanks for the vid.

[@slingwin7316]

Nice run! keep up the good work.

[@pryt86]

This was a really awesome run

[@AtomicToast15]

25:36 loolololol his improvised tune makes it sound like a sea shanty.

[@XxSpeedxX91]

Great Run Funkdoc =))

[@WolverinePatch]

I love these videos wish I had mates as cool as this. I'd love to chill out play old school games and eat pizza

[@ValiantNorth]

Funkdoc is awesome, if he would stream more I'm always watch

[@Ryuuzaki1770]

Funkdoc rocks, epic CV3 run.

[@ludwigbooth4882]

14:55 Dude on far left starts with a finger in the ear to a pinky in the nose faint to the mouth...STILL EATING HIS BOOGERS!!!

[@solomon_express]

funkdoc seems like such a good dude, a great representative of the community that's for sure

[@davidbermudez7704]

Beautiful run

[@omatasekudasai]

Unbelievable! You're genious!

[@Imperial_Boltgun]

This dudes my hero. I been playin this game for years and still aint beat it.

[@eppinizer]

1:44 Blueglass makes funcdock lose 3 seconds on his run ;)

[@espectro87]

yess

[@RexHoles6969]

I was doing that quick kill on the boss of level 6 back in 1991.

[@IronLoveOfficial]

That was awesome funk

[@bigfatiori]

The Morning Star speed run. Well played, Belmont.

[@Brad112476]

Great run of a really difficult game.

[@DeboSc2]

they have raised over a million dollars so far, and people call them nerds? People need to get a fuckin life.

[@TranceCore3]

Why would them being a nerd be insulting? Just because they rose over 1m, doesn't remove social status. I'm proud of being a nerd/geek, and no amount of money will remove that status from me.

[@DeboSc2]

***** everbody gots to classify themselves as something, were all just people get over yourself

[@TranceCore3]

Get over myself? My comment was a reply to someone who was offended at the fact that they're calling the runners "nerds". Who the fuck cares? Nerd hasn't been an insult for like 15 years.

[@TranceCore3]

Don't complain to me about your own problems. I didn't tell you guys to reply to my comment.

[@DeboSc2]

Internet struggle is real

[@heatherstewart9994]

I actually didn’t mind the announcer, I just appreciated when Funkdoc started talking. You can tell he loves what he does. His passion comes through in his voice.

[@EuSouRCS]

AWESOME!

[@fenixfreeze]

This guy has the most showmanship of any speed runners that I've seen.

[@USHLDNOME]

Awesome, its finally up

[@RazrWing]

impressive and a good cause

[@cobelli1978]

Super!!! congratulations from chile!

[@rossdixonellis]

I love that Castlevania is one of the few games that people want the sound turned up!

[@deltahotness]

beyond impressed

[@NemesisMKIII]

Great run. Nice work. Also, you look like Maculay!

[@wraithlead8]

love the music of this game.

[@ChaudTheGamer]

that was EPIC!!!!

[@pryt86]

awesome thanks

[@DarkFortressPictures_Official]

Nice!

[@leperking84]

sick stuff rite there!

[@gavinpickens73]

Damn thats awesome got me beat by 20 :35 . That's some great button work.

[@Mobri]

When the announcer couldn't even sing Holy Diver, I have up on him entirely. XD

[@TheShepherd82]

respect for speed running the rising tower like that^^

[@mk2mister2]

Castlevania 3 is by far the hardest of all three NES titles, yet he makes it look soo easy!!

[@elroddin76]

So rad

[@MythicalMonk3y]

Blueglass seems like such a cool dude :)

[@charlesmorris8213]

I agree!

[@Shin_FTW]

Yeah I like him too. I'd watch him play Ecco even though I'm not a fan of the game.

[@NerdGlassGamingPA]

The announcer sounds like the voice in Street Fighter 1 :D

[@kind2311]

oowwww raigh!

[@Ynffy]

Funkdoc is a sweetheart and Blueglass is mellow in this clip.

[@ComplexAmmo]

Ha ! Tom Votava ! It doesn't even surprise me.. What a beast !

[@TheLibrarycop]

This man is a person of interest in several states. For SURE.

[@TheMusicalDork]

Always fun to watch great runs. Question, any plans to speedrun the second quest? I would love to watch it.

[@VasCorpBetMani]

The whip at 240p on a black background looks trippy because the phosphor illumination is more obvious, especially on a CRT TV.

[@edwiniseman4]

*Hardest room in the game* *speeds through untouched in 20 game seconds* Oh, Funkdoc....

[@Rejich89]

14:30 love how the slaphead almost fall asleep all the time hahahaha

[@TheSuperSNES]

Grant is actually the slowest category because you have to go through two extra stages to collect him. He is faster on almost every other level, but that huge detour makes him slower overall. Funkdoc played as Sypha here because she was donated for, though. ^_^

[@brodygallucci4684]

Damn good job

[@Shin_FTW]

Blue Splash! HOLY LIGHTNING!

[@Captain_Obvious_Says]

Let's play a drinking game. Take a shot everytime Funkdoc says the word "Hard".

[@masonbehnke]

So happy someone donated for BlueGlass on the couch.

[@Matthew6418]

We need Funkdoc back at GDQ. Thats what GDQ is missing.

[@ludwigbooth4882]

9:05 Dude on far left starts the booger eating cycle AGAIN!!! It's so habitual!

[@stephencross4454]

Love this game. It's infuriating. This guy nails it but theres a lot of different routes. That's why it's a classic.

[@KRoc]

I had that game growing up and could only beat it with Grant. I certainly couldn't do it without losing any lives though.

[@hualni]

Is that guy narrating the only one that can read in that room? Please get someone else to read!!!

[@sundarpichai940]

The problem is that he's reading off the entire comment every time. Other announcers only read certain comments or parts of comments.

[@TheSwinubClub752]

25:36 holy diver improv singing! i like your twist on it XD

[@Rotostorm331]

32:23, Bravo Funkdoc, Bravo!

[@GameplayandTalk]

Geez, and all these years I tried to hit Drac (first form) in the head. Looks like I never needed to do that.

[@horseblinderson4747]

Think that's only w Sypha not sure though.

[@Ti0Luch0]

the same fucking guy again... YISUS!

[@lincolnyellick]

The runner reminds me off of Micheal Meyers off of the SNL skit called sprockets.

[@aztecrunner1]

that castlevania game is my all time favorite game I love it the most. next would have to be SOTN.

[@Patashu]

The speedrunner Lee_sda has done a couple of one handed yoshi's island any% runs, they're really fascinating to watch

[@SiegfriedM]

LOL, on 6:10 someone closed the door in the same moment it happened on the screen.

[@dimebagdarrell2390]

Maybe in dimension x he is speed running this in Dracula’s castle which is why he is so good.

[@NonRandomUser]

Funkdoc is too good at Castlevania speedruns. #Swagruns

[@austloser961]

funkdoc has a Kanye smile, he smiles huge for .5 seconds and then puts on a really serious face

[@SuperN1ntendoChalmers]

My god the sound is horrific for 2 reasons; 1) Blueglass's INSANELY annoying, loud laugh 2) The Count won't shut up. "1 Comment, AH AH AH, 2 comments, AH AH!"

[@setsunaes]

12:32 "This room is really scary" Yeah, i remember it. I hate that room back then when i was like 12 years.

[@MyMustacheBeckons]

I love the list of "best final fantasy game"

[@Patashu]

yes, he has the wr in any% warped (though the new null egg glitch puts into question how the category should be defined lol) and technically in any% warped one hand (because no one else runs it, but he put work into it still)

[@Sonicrocks]

Cancer is Dracula's Curse, so let's get rid of this curse.

[@851852093114208513]
