![]() For generations the Belmonts have passed along the secrets and skills of vampire-hunting to the eldest child of the family. There is one group that has always been around to see that Dracula is defeated, the Belmont family. He has appeared in this world many times, and there are many people who fear that in his next appearance, he may be unstoppable. His goal is to turn all humanity into creatures of darkness, to be ruled under his iron fist. The evil manifests itself in the form of one of the most feared characters to roam the earth - the vampire Dracula!Įvery 100 years Dracula is revived and grows stronger and stronger. In the small country of Transylvania there is a legend which says that every 100 years the forces of Good mysteriously become weak and the forces of Evil gain a foothold into our world. Although Super Castlevania IV is considered a remake of the original Castlevania in the Japanese Castlevania timeline by current director Koji Igarashi, Konami USA had not reflected it, and it remained a canon sequel to Simon's Quest according to Konami USA, up until it was removed with the release of the recent official Xtreme desktop timeline which brings the series closer to Koji's vision. This is reflected in the last line of the prologue screen of the game, when it says it is "time once again for Simon Belmont to take up his whip.". When the game was localized in North America as Super Castlevania IV, the story within the manual and prologue screen was modified in order to make it take place after Simon's Quest. Or, so he thought (see Castlevania II: Simon's Quest for the continuation). Simon, with the Vampire Killer whip, successfully defeated Dracula and his demon army. Although overwhelmed by the task set before him, Simon nonetheless arms himself with the whip containing mysterious powers inherited from his ancestors and sets out for the Devil's Castle. ![]() To help solve this crisis, Simon, the young heir of the Belmont clan, has vowed to liberate the mortal world.

One day, the village is shrouded by a dark thunderstorm, and a stroke of lightning quickly silences the town. Transylvania suffers a continuous disaster. The Belmonts had always defeated Dracula in duels to the death, banishing him from the living world for another hundred years when those years were over, prosperity would once again be covered by shadows. However, when the entire world is covered by many dark clouds and the Demon King rules the dark evening, the Belmont Clan has always come forth to oppose him. In the past, he has taken several forms in this world with each resurrection. And with each resurrection, his evil power grows stronger. Once every one-hundred years, there comes a time when the power of good is weakened, and men with evil in their hearts pray for the resurrection of the Prince of Darkness. ![]() A country associated with the legend of Dracula.
