The cross is a sub-weapon found throughout the ''Castlevania'' series. As a sub-weapon, usage of it requires hearts, which act as ammo. In earlier games such as ''Castlevania'' and ''Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse'', the protagonist can have up to three crosses on-screen at once with the aid of the Double Shot and Triple Shot power-ups, and can use them in conjunction with the whip to deal massive damage and effectively hold enemies in place. In other games such as ''Rondo of Blood'' and ''Symphony of the Night'', when the player has enough hearts, multiple crosses can be on screen, and the item can be used to launch a far-stronger Item Crash, the [[Grand Cross]].

Because Nintendo of America enforced censorship of religious material during the NES and SNES eras, the item was renamed in North America to '''Boomerang'''. The item is also colloquially known as the '''Crucifix''' on occasion when the item is instead depicted with one length of the Cross being longer than the others, thus more closely representing the [[wikipedia:Crucifix|religious symbol]].
