Dracula's Castle (World of Light)

Dracula's Castle (, 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 's 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,  plays. When the player is in the chapel, the outer wall, or underground,  plays. When the player is in the dungeon,  plays. When the player is in the clock tower,  plays. Finally, when the player is at the castle keep,  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 ).

Spirits
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.

The boss of this sub-world is Dracula. In order to reach his location, the player must defeat the Alucard spirit (and if the player destroys all of the ghosts).
