** The first stage theme is a remix of "Beginning" from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaIIIDraculasCurse'', but is sufficiently bouncy and upbeat that it's hard to tell. In addition, the stage itself is a traditional ''Castlevania'' stage, except beginning in the throne room. Naturally.

The first game was released for the Nintendo {{UsefulNotes/Famicom}} in 1990, though [[NoExportForYou it never received an overseas release]], until May 16th, 2019 when it was released as part of the [[CompilationRelease Castlevania Anniversary Collection]] for the first time in English. The second game was released for the UsefulNotes/GameBoy in Japan and the US in 1993 and, despite being treated as a sequel, basically is a PolishedPort of the first game.

''Kid Dracula'' is a LighterAndSofter two-game GaidenGame series of the ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' series, better known as ''Akumajou Special: Boku Dracula-Kun!'' in Japan, where ''Castlevania'' is known as ''Akumajou Dracula''.

The plot revolves around the 10,009-year-old son of Dracula (Alucard? [[EpilepticTrees Maybe]]) who awakens from a nap to discover that a powerful demon lord named Garamoth has brainwashed all of his demonic minions. The youth borrows his dad's cape and sets out to reclaim what rightfully belongs to his family, growing more powerful along the way.

* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: One of Kid Dracula's weapons is an ice shot that is largely useless in battle. At least until you reach the first boss in the last level that [[KillItWithIce can only be harmed using it]].

* NoSwastikas: The first bosses of the game resemble TheKlan with swastikas on their hoods. The US version naturally removes them, hopefully making them resemble ghosts.

** The final stage of the Game Boy version contains [[Franchise/{{Alien}} xenomorphs]] as enemies. The Famicom game has expies of [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason]] and Film/KingKong (who attacks throwing airplanes!) in the city stage.
