Castlevania III: Linear Version
悪魔城伝説 · Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
Turambar's hack reorders the stages of Castlevania III so that a single run passes through every level instead of forcing you to pick one branching path.
What's new
Castlevania III splits into branching routes, so one playthrough only ever sees part of the game. Turambar's Linear Version rearranges the stage order into a single path, letting you clear every level in one run.
The patch is made for the American release; there is also a build for the Japanese Akumajou Densetsu, and the creator notes that combining it with other patches, such as the English translation of the Japanese version or an improved controls hack, has not been tested.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the game following the instructions on the hack's page. Hack by Turambar.
