Item Description

Kid Dracula for the original Game Boy is one of the more charming surprises in Konami's handheld library. Released in North America in March 1993, this quirky platformer is a spin-off of the Castlevania series, except here the brooding gothic atmosphere gets swapped out for something far more playful. You play as a chibi young Dracula who has forgotten most of his powers and has to win them back to stop the demon Galamoth from taking over his castle, and the tonal whiplash compared to Simon Belmont's grim journeys is delightful. Konami counts it as part of the Castlevania series, though fans have long enjoyed it as a parody.

The gameplay blends classic side-scrolling action with a surprising variety of mechanics. Kid Dracula's fireball grows in form and range as the adventure goes on, and he picks up new tricks along the way: reversing gravity to walk on the ceiling, taking to the air as a bat for brief flights, shielding himself with an umbrella and setting bombs that blow through certain walls. Eight inventive stages keep the action fresh and offer the kind of tight handheld platforming Game Boy fans came to love in that era.

What makes Kid Dracula especially appealing is the art direction. On the small Game Boy screen, Konami packed in expressive sprite work, familiar monsters reimagined in a comedic style and boss encounters that feel theatrical, and Electronic Games praised its large, cleanly drawn characters at the time. It is a sequel to, and something of a reimagining of, a 1990 Famicom game that never left Japan, so this Game Boy release was the only way to play the character outside Japan at the time, and it remains one of the lighter, funnier corners of the Castlevania universe.

About the game

His pearly fangs drive the girls wild, while his dead-of-the-party sense of humor makes them scream. He's Kid Dracula, star of the mythical Transylvania 92010, and the coolest living corpse ever to stake his claim on the Game Boy. If you thought Mario had a way with magic, you should see junior jugular's spellbinding powers, including the mesmerizing bat transformation. Poof! Nobody wings it better than Kid Drac. This game is both a remake and a sequel to the original Kid Dracula, on the Nintendo Entertainment System.
