* ScrappyMechanic: ''Symphony of the Night'' and the original ''Rondo of Blood'' are not available from the start, but must be unlocked by performing specific actions in specific stages of the ''Rondo'' remake. You will almost certainly need a guide to find them.

** While remixing the soundtrack for the remake, they took out "Den", the Clock Tower theme unique to ''Rondo'', and inserted "Moon Fight" from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaChronicles'' in its place. The original version of "Den" is still available, along with a remixed version called "Cavern of Dark Spawn", which you can only unlock from Boss Rush Mode, but this decision remains a odd one.

** This version of the game also fixed a lot of the questionable translation of both ''Rondo'' and ''Symphony'' and replaced it with more competent and less {{Narm}}y dialogue. While the result is a better translation overall, [[NarmCharm some fans preferred the silly voice acting and memetic script from the original]] and were upset by how it got "fixed" for the rerelease.

** The low-quality 3D visuals in the ''Rondo'' remake, which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the original game requiring unlocking and having sound issues.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The best part of ''Dracula X Chronicles'' is that you can set ''any'' song in the game, either original or unlockable, to play in ''any'' stage or fight you want, with the exception of the fight with Dracula (except in the PAL version). Who doesn't like the idea of using "Bloody Tears" as the boss theme, or using the previously [[LongSongShortScene unused]] remix of "Cross Your Heart" as a stage-theme?
