Castlevania 64 FAQ by Cosmo
---------------------------

Whats the world record?

- the WR is 45:27 by Christianf23 
- http://www.twitch.tv/christianf23/c/2458617

Why Carrie?

- she is a bit faster, can do more sequence breaks, has a better main weapon, and has different stages from Reinhardt.

Is this on emulator?

- no, this is on N64.
- sadly due to the state of N64 emulation, and the extreme lag present in this game on actual hardware, you need an actual cart to do 'legit' speedruns for this game. emu times are completely incomparable to console here.
- there is no VC rerelease of this game.

Why not Japanese version?

- I don't have it. It's probably faster by a little bit.
- However make sure if you do buy this game to get the 1.0 version. It has no letter on the engraving on the back of the cart. 1.0 lets you do some sequence breaks like the midair jump in Forest of Silence.

What are the red jewels?

- Ammo for subweapons (holy water, crosses)

Why do you use the moon and sun cards?

- You are weaker the closer it is to midnight. Also there are some doors and events that can only be opened or triggered at certain times. Vampires also have double HP between 7pm and 5am.

Why do you keep jumping all the time?

- It makes you move faster.

This game sucks

- Sorry you don't like it :(. Go to http://speedrunslive.com for more speedrun streams to find something you might enjoy more.
- I'm running this game in preparation for SGDQ, which is a marathon for charity later this month in Denver. I will be racing neskamikaze.
