Trivia / Super Castlevania IV

• Meaningful Release Date: This game launched in Japan on Halloween.
• What Could Have Been: Castlevania Anniversary Collection design documents show the controls being modified over the course of planning, including the ability to toss enemies with the whip. The earliest documents also show the player character wearing modern attire because the age in which the game is set in was not decided at that point, revealing that the game was not always developed as a reimagining of Simon Belmont's first adventure.
