* OfficialFanSubmittedContent: Two enemies, a boss, and an obstacle were chosen from a contest for the Japanese exclusive [=MegaDriveFAN=] magazine.

** According to the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, two more characters were planned to be playable alongisde John and Eric. The first was a Viking-type character named [[AwesomeMcCoolName Bolt Ericson]] who used a Mace (called a "hammer" in the concept art) for attacks. The second was a prototype [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow Yoko Belnades]] functioning more like [[VideoGame/NinjaGaiden Ryu Hayabusa]] and Grant [=DaNasty=] by throwing shuriken, climbing walls, and hanging to the ceiling. The design documents spell her name as "[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Yoko Felnades]]".
** The recently revealed version 0.3 prototype up to the [[{{Vaporware}} elusive version 0.5 prototype]] have different effects, areas, and bosses in some cases.
*** The first miniboss was originaly the Behemoth rather than the Hellhound. The moveset was largely the same, but the Behemoth would often charge at the player.
*** The Fishmen resembled their counterparts from Dracula X more.

** First and only ''Castlevania'' game to appear on a Creator/{{Sega}} platform. (''VideoGame/CastlevaniaResurrection'' for the UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast was cancelled.)
