Overview 
The title screen
Super Castlevania IV (Akumajō Dracula in Japan) is an action-platformer developed and published by Konami for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was first released in December, 1991, and was the first Castlevania game featured on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game is an enhanced remake of the original Castlevania featuring updated graphics, new levels, and a new soundtrack. Super Castlevania IV was also re-released on the Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console in 2006. The game's protagonist, Simon Belmont, who is trying to reach Dracula's Castle, must navigate his way through various environments, fend of Dracula's monsters, and ultimately face Dracula.
Gameplay
The level design is more fit to the whip's new abilities in Super Castlevania IV. There are several things that must be hit by the whip, in addition to all-new grapple hooks. Simon can use the whip to grab onto the grappling hook, and then swing across the obstacle that is in his way.
As with previous Castlevania games, Super Castlevania IV also has a power-up and upgrade system. By collecting hearts, Simon gains power. Hearts can be collected from destructible environmental pieces and enemies. Then, the weapon that has been picked up can be used. More powerful weapons, however, use up more hearts.
Plot
Super Castlevania IV shares a storyline with Castlevania, being an enhanced remake. Simon Belmont goes on a quest to defeat the newly resurrected Dracula, and restore peace to the land.
