Dracula but not a Castlevania game!! This is a good game however, it has an awesome victory music!

Bram Stoker's Dracula in 12:59.43

  • Emulator used: FCEUX 2.2.3
  • Takes damage to save times
  • Hardest difficulty
  • Beats Draculea (yes, not Dracula exactly!)

Comments

  • This run is a 1227 frames (20.42 seconds) improvement over the current published run by Randil.
  • It mainly came from a shortcut in Scene 6 that saves over 15 seconds. Not only that, but there were a lot of optimizations since the start of the run, as well as better health management which is very critical.
  • All tricks have been adopted from the current run, so make sure to check out Randil's submission for more info ("Tricks and strategies" section).

Useful addresses

Here are some useful addresses:
  • Boss HP: Needed especially with the triple shots rocks so you make sure all three shots hit
  • Y-Position: Useful when you're obscure during a shortcut

  • Randil for his awesome run. He had so many good plans that helped making this run and I tried to optimize them as much as I could.

I knew it XD Glad you liked the run!! I also want to update the run with this one which ends with B only instead of AB. It just a personal preference that is all :)
