Dracula's Castle (World of Light)

This article is about the World of Light sub-area. For the stage, see Dracula's Castle.
Full map of Dracula's Castle.

Dracula's Castle (ドラキュラ城, Dracula Castle) is a sub-world found in The Dark Realm within Adventure Mode in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is located at the end of the east path. Its structure is modeled after that of the world map from the original Castlevania. At the end of the path is this sub-world's boss, Dracula.

Evil ghosts, resembling the demon from the intensity selection screen in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS's Classic Mode in its 3.0–3.9 form, are scattered throughout. Touching them will revert the player back to a certain area. The ghosts can only be defeated by acquiring a silver cannonball and firing them from a cannon. The silver cannonballs can bounce off of gold walls depending on its angle. Players can interact with the hourglass to reset the wall alignments as well as causing the ghosts and cannonballs to respawn if the player isn't satisfied with the firing results.

Various music tracks from the Castlevania series play throughout the area. When the player is in the main halls, Vampire Killer (Remix) plays. When the player is in the chapel, the outer wall, or underground, Starker / Wicked Child plays. When the player is in the dungeon, Vampire Killer plays. When the player is in the clock tower, Out of Time plays. Finally, when the player is at the castle keep, Nothing to Lose plays. For the most part, this song selection directly reflects the original Castlevania soundtrack, albeit with Starker / Wicked Child in lieu of Walking on the Edge in the underground and Vampire Killer in lieu of Heart of Fire in the dungeon (despite a remix of Heart of Fire being included in Can't Wait Until Night).

Spirits[edit]

The spirits found here are generally associated with darkness, fitting with the classic monsters from the Castlevania series. The locations of several spirits appear to represent specific enemies in the original Castlevania, such as the Houndoom (in place of the Black Leopards in the main halls) and Zora (in place of the Fish Men in the underground); likewise, Castlevania boss spirits are placed in their respective locations in the game. Some spirits are also heroic characters, similar to the Belmont clan and their allies. Spirits are ordered by when they are encountered in the sub-world.

Trivia[edit]

  • Assuming the player does not destroy all the evil ghosts, Dracula's Castle is the only sub-world in the Dark Realm where none of its captured fighters are required to be unlocked to beat the World of Light.
  • Dracula's Castle is the only sub-world in World of Light to have more than one Echo Fighter in it, with a total of four out of seven (Dark Pit, Richter, Daisy, and Ken).
  • Due to the presence of ladders on this sub-area's map, this is the only instance where Pokémon Trainer's climbing animations can be seen.
