'''Dracula's Castle''' ({{ja|ドラキュラ城|Dorakyura- | '''Dracula's Castle''' ({{ja|ドラキュラ城|Dorakyura-jō}}, ''Dracula Castle''), also known as '''Castlevania''', is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is the home stage of {{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Richter}}. They're both fought here in their unlock battles. | ||

All the way to the right side is a set of stairs whose bottom half is broken off. Candles in the background can be destroyed, dropping items. Each end of the stage is surrounded by the darkness. Dracula's coffin appears in the background. [[Star KO]]'s cannot happen on this stage due to the background wall obscuring their would-be victim. | ||
When hazards are turned off, the two platforms do not move and the candles never appear. | When hazards are turned off, the two platforms do not move and the candles never appear. | ||
===[[Background characters]]=== | |||
During gameplay, various boss characters from ''Castlevania'' will make an appearance, including the Creature (also known as ''"Frankenstein's Monster"'', from ''Frankenstein'' by Mary Shelley) with Flea Man (also known as ''"Igor"''), Mummy, Medusa, Werewolf, Carmilla (in her giant mask form from ''Simon's Quest''), and Death. Each enemy has their own entrance based on how they appeared during the original boss battle (such as Werewolf leaping through a window). The silhouette of Kid Dracula from the ''[[wikipedia:Akumajō Special: Boku Dracula-kun|Kid Dracula]]'' spin-off series appears occasionally. All these characters stay in the background, which means they don't interrupt the fight at all, even with [[stage hazard]]s turned on. | |||
When the moon disappears in the darkness and bats gather around Dracula's coffin, lightning will flash, revealing [[Dracula]]'s shadow or Kid Dracula's shadow in the middle of a castle. Dracula himself appears as a [[boss]] in [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]] in a boss arena resembling Dracula's Castle, but with a flat and empty layout. | |||

Dracula's Castle is always a large structure full of horrifying monsters and tortuous rooms. In the background is the clock tower, a recurring area in the ''Castlevania'' games. Candles are a common element in the ''Castlevania'' games and are broken to reveal whip upgrades, hearts, food, and items. Every time Dracula's Castle is destroyed, it magically rebuilds itself every hundred or so years, along with a reincarnation of Dracula. | ||

The ''Smash'' stage condenses this, making the staircase lead directly to Dracula's room. The broken staircase may be a reference to ''Symphony of the Night'', where the staircase is broken into two pieces for most of the game. | ||
