* There's some humor to be found in the fact that, unlike most other games, you can outright ''break'' Death's Scythe with your whip. He doesn't even think to get a new one until the second phase of his rematch, and when he does, [[OffWithHisHead he accidentally decapitates himself with it]].
* The use of keys as weapons / Item Crashes, followed by a question mark from your character. Doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome if you manage to defeat Dracula ''only'' using it as described above.
* An area that involves traversing a staircase of Fleamen riding metal balls ends with the exit to the tower on one side, and the source of the Fleamen on the other. Making your way up there with just the right jump will allow you to see a burly ogre man whose sole purpose is to load the orbs (with Fleamen pre-applied) onto the path after they've hit the end of the path down below. Apparently Dracula is a firm believer in recycling.
* Maria's ending is ''far'' more cutesy, and serves as a hilarious MoodWhiplash compared to the rest of the game. Dracula's MotiveRant is [[ShutUpHannibal entirely shut down]] by Maria remarking that she [[TooDumbToFool neither understands what he means nor cares what his reasons are]], so long as [[BullyHunter she's punished him for being mean to the townsfolk]]. At this, [[StunnedSilence Dracula briefly remains silent]] as if mentally measuring his words to best sum up AsLongAsThereIsEvil for Maria before [[WeWillMeetAgain bidding her farewell.]]
-->'''Maria:''' [[EvilLaugh What does he find so funny?!]]
** Just the idea of Dracula being beaten to death by a young girl throwing ''birds as weapons.'' Not to mention that beating the remake as Maria will have Dracula completely flabbergasted that [[ThisCannotBe he lost to a "little girl".]]
* If you tried to play the original version of the game with the wrong system card, it wouldn't just display a boring error message like most games, but rather load up ''an entire joke minigame'' called ''Akumajyo Dracula Peke''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2a3OAmqEEY It must be seen to be believed.]]
* The one-ups in Maria Mode are dolls resembling a SuperDeformed version of Richter. There is no explanation for this in the game proper, but [[https://mewkwota.tumblr.com/post/177999081484/mewkwota-maria-found-them-all-over-the one set of fan-comics]] provided a [[EpilepticTrees speculative reason]]. Namely, that ''Dracula'' was (presumably) the Richter Dolls' creator. When Richter confronts him about the subject, Dracula snatches the doll he brought from him and tucks it into his shirt... only for it to [[FailedAttemptAtDrama fall back out]] during his dialogue prior to their boss fight.
-->'''Richter:''' [[FlatWhat "I, uh..."]]
-->'''Dracula:''' "''Get [[GetOut out of]] [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain my castle.]]''"
