* The Toadstool is a literal PoisonMushroom that inflicts Poison status on Alucard should he eat one; clearly, there's no use for an item such as this. Ah-ha, but then you remember that there's a circlet you can equip to convert poison damage to HP! Just as you're saluting your own cleverness in finding a workaround for the problem, you then eat try to eat a Toadstool only to discover that it heals a measly '''1''' HP. It's almost impossible not to read this as the game's way of saying [[{{Troll}} "Nice try, sucker."]]

* A meta entry but Igarashi once sat down with Romscout, a ''Castlevania'' speedrunner, and with the help of a translator he did a speedrun of the game showing Igarashi both bugs he was aware existed in the game and even a few that he did not. This also brought on some hilarious moments such as when discussing the original bug used to keep the Alucard gear at the start of the game. The glitch was discovered very early on in the game's life and required the game be in luck mode. Not funny on its own, but Igarashi mentioned that ''he was the one that programmed Luck Mode in the first place'' and that seeing the knockback being used to keep the Alucard equipment hurts each time. Some of the other more absurdly difficult bugs had him remark that no bug tester in their right mind would ever find some of the things Rom was doing.

* One of the best attacking consumable items in the game is "Power of Sire", and while the graphic is a painting of The Impaler, the mental image of Alucard killing everybody in the castle via second-hand embarrassment as he shows them gaudy vacation photos like a Boomer is hilarious.

* In the confessional, if Alucard sits in the Priest's chair, a female ghost will walk up to the other seat. The one in blue will spring a trap just like the green priest, but the woman in red will start giving a tearful confession... And doesn't ever ''stop''. Eventually, Alucard will fall asleep. For extra hilarity, notice how Alucard sits in a polite way if he's confessing but goes back to slouching with his arms and legs crossed when he's on the Priest's chair, as if he's not even serious about it to begin with.

* Summon Alucard's Bat familiar and have him turn into a bat, himself. The familiar ''falls in love with him'', little [[HeartSymbol hearts]] coming from it, with more bats joining in the higher the familiar's level. It's as [[CutenessProximity adorable]] as it is hilarious, and they also function as [[VideoGame/{{Gradius}} Options]] that shoot fireballs whenever you do. Adding to the fun, switching back into human or mist form causes a little "'''?'''" to appear over the bat.
