''Dracula but not a Castlevania game!! This is a good game however, it has an awesome victory music!''

Bram Stoker's Dracula in 12:59.43

  • Emulator used: FCEUX 2.2.3
  • Takes damage to save times
  • Hardest difficulty
  • Beats Draculea ''(yes, not Dracula exactly!)''

Comments

  • This run is a 1227 frames (20.42 seconds) improvement over the current [1951M|published run] by Randil.
  • It mainly came from a shortcut in Scene 6 that saves over 15 seconds. Not only that, but there were a lot of optimizations since the start of the run, as well as better health management which is very critical.
  • All tricks have been adopted from the current run, so make sure to check out [3396S|Randil's submission] for more info ("Tricks and strategies" section).

Useful addresses

[UserFiles/Info/638566398093335175|Here] are some useful addresses:

  • Boss HP: Needed especially with the triple shots rocks so you make sure all three shots hit
  • Y-Position: Useful when you're obscure during a shortcut

  • Randil for his awesome run. He had so many good plans that helped making this run and I tried to optimize them as much as I could.
