Super Castlevania IV (known in Japan as Akumajou Dracula, which loosely translates to "Devil's Castle Dracula") is a 2D horror-fantasy action platformer developed and published by Konami for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in Japan (on October 31, 1991), North America (on December 4, 1991), and Europe (on November 23, 1992). The first game in the Castlevania series to be released for the SNES, Super Castlevania IV is an enhanced retelling of the original Castlevania adventure, improving the protagonist's attack and movement capabilities (including multi-directional whip attacks, a dedicated sub-weapon button, and the ability to grapple onto specific objects with his whip) while rebuilding all levels from scratch (with a good portion of it taking place before reaching the main castle). The plot and premise for Super Castlevania IV remains the same as the game it's based on. Players control legendary vampire hunter Simon Belmont, wielder of the Vampire Killer whip, as he sets out through a dark, unholy castle in the year 1691 to destroy the evil Count Dracula.
