99 Luck - Enter your name in as X-X!V''Q,
then select Alucard as your character. When you begin playing, you will
have 99 LCK and the Lapis Lazuli ring, but you will have very low STR,
CON, and INT stats.
Another Belmont? - At the select character screen highlight Richter and
do the following: Press and hold the top L & R buttons, Up and A button.
If this has been done correctly you will see a fully clothed Belmont all
in blue. He seems to have all the moves Richter has. Could he be Ralph C
Belmont from Castlevania 3?
Bitmap Images - Put the Dracula X CD in your computer and look in in all
of the folders. You will find several pictures, including a very nice one
of the succubus.
Control the Logo - When the words NOW LOADING are on screen, you can
manipulate them with the d-pad.
Display the Map - When you hit Start during game play it will bring up
your stats. Now press the L1 button to bring up a map of the castle.
Maria's Invincibility Spell - With Maria press Up, Up-Forward, Forward,
Down-Forward, Down, Down-back, Back, Up-back, Up for 2 seconds, down A or
C. If done correctly she will summon all spirit animals and glow yellow
for a while.
Maria's Moves and Spells - (Note: Items with a * use magic power.)
Maria's basic attacks are:-
*Magic shot: A button
Kick: C button
Jump: B button
Her "special" moves are:-
*Super Jump: Down, Up, B
Triple Jump: Jump and then B two more times.
*Dashing Jump Kick: Press twice in a direction to run and then press C.
*Guardian Knuckle: A Ryu-fireball motion + A or C.
*She can also charge up her magic shot by pressing and holding the A
button until she starts flashing. This has about 3 different strengths
depending on how long you hold A. She can also do a descending kick attack
like Alucard. After a triple jump, press DOWN and B.
Maria's Spells:- *Tiger Spell: Up, Down, Down-Toward, Toward + A. Maria
summons a Tiger spirit and then projects it into a cone of flame in the
direction she's facing.
*Phoenix Spell: Hold up for 2 seconds, then Up-Toward, Toward,
Down-Toward, Down + A. She summons a Phoenix spirit and uses its power to
summon an owl familiar to come to her aid. The owl behaves similar to
Alucard's bat familiar and disappears after a minute or two.
*Dragon Turtle Spell: Away, Up-Away, Up, Up-Toward, Toward + A. Maria
summons a Dragon Turtle spirit and surrounds herself in a green light
which heals her. Heals about one-sixth of her lifebar.
*Blue Dragon spell: Away, Toward, Down-Toward, Down, Down-Away, Away,
Toward + A. Maria summons a Blue Dragon spirit which emerges from her
outstretched arm. The dragon can be moved around with the D-pad and does
damage to everything it touches. As an added bonus, Maria is invincible
while the dragon is on the screen!
Weapons - Maria also uses the same
weapons as Richter and Alucard, instead of her animal friends from Dracula
X on the PC-Engine. Only a few differ from the normal usage.
Axe: Maria throws 3 axes at one time.
Dagger: Maria throws 3 in succession.
Holy Water: The flame is higher and more concentrated than Richter's. And
finally, Maria actually seems to take less damage than Richter from
enemies, even in the inverted castle.
Voice Test - Complete the game once with Alucard, then enter the sound
test. A new icon, rotating between Alucard, Richter, and Maria, will
appear in the bottom right of the box. Click on this icon to enter voice
test mode. |
