Throughout the ''Castlevania'' series, the top of Dracula's Castle | Throughout the ''Castlevania'' series, the top of Dracula's Castle is the endpoint of the protagonist's journey, where they fight the series' main antagonist, Dracula. The 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 series. Candles are a common element as well and are broken to reveal whip upgrades, hearts, food, and items. Every time the castle is destroyed, it magically rebuilds itself every hundred or so years, along with a reincarnation of Dracula. | ||
This final area usually has the same structure throughout the ''Castlevania'' series - a long stairway leading to a short hallway, finally ending with Dracula's quarters. 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. | This final area usually has the same structure throughout the ''Castlevania'' series - a long stairway leading to a short hallway, finally ending with Dracula's quarters.
