* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:Since Cornell's story is a prequel, the bad guys win and set in motion the events for original ''Castlevania 64'']].
* {{Badass}}: Cornell, especially when shapeshifted.
* BroadStrokes: Reinhardt and Carrie's games travel through Cornell's variations of the levels and omit lines of dialogue they had in the original, so there's still some merit in owning both games if you want the '''whole''' story.
* CoresAndTurretsBoss: The "Crystal Laser of Doom" in the Tower of Science, which consists of a large, central crystal and several self-repairing turrets of various types placed around it.
* EmbeddedPrecursor: Completing the game as Cornell unlocks the story modes of Carrie and Reinhardt, the original heroes of ''Castlevania 64''.
* FanDisservice: One of the Spider Queen's attacks is to reel in your character with web and chew on him/her with her second mouth. The one that's right at crotch-height on her, latches onto him/her at waist-height, and is complete with thrusting movements.
* FurAgainstFang: The game fits this trope nicely. It not only has a higher than usual number of vampires, but lead character Cornell is a werewolf.
* HarpingOnAboutHarpies: A harpy appears as a boss in Cornell's story.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: The [[spoiler:servant posing as Dracula]] from the original release is revealed to be noted 15th century soldier and child killer Gilles de Rais, [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy now a vampire]] and servant of Dracula.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Cornell tries to rescue his sister, [[spoiler: it leads to Dracula getting resurrected early by being born as Malus]].

* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: Cornell is a werewolf, and his rival Ortega becomes a werechimera thanks to Dracula's borrowed power.
* TheResenter: Ortega, Cornell's rival, who envied Cornell's mastery of his alternate form and sought Dracula's help to match him.
* SchizoTech: Henry wields a gun as his primary weapon, which can be reloaded with cartridges. While revolvers did exist during the time period in which his story takes place (1852), cartridge rounds did not, only coming into existence four years later.

* TearsFromAStone: A statue of Virgin Mary appears, which weeps TearsOfBlood.
* TookALevelInBadass: Henry is first met in Cornell's storyline as a helpless young boy that must be escorted out of the premises into safety.

Actually, this game's proper name is merely ''[[RecycledTitle Castlevania]]''; [[SuperTitle64Advance the "64" is only added]] to differentiate it from [[VideoGame/{{Castlevania}} the oft-remade adventure of Simon Belmont]]. For clarity's sake, however, we'll stick with tacking on the "64" moniker.

**And let's also not forget the Tower of Science, with its giant formaldehyde canisters, futuristic motif, electric shock currents and guard robots with infrared beams and machine guns.

** It is debated whether these games are part of IGA's official timeline. IGA, in a 2008 interview with ''Nintendo Power'' magazine (covering ''Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia''), considers these games [[GaidenGame side stories]] and [[CanonDiscontinuity not part of his timeline]], as they're unmentioned on [[http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/dracula/product/data.html the Japanese timeline]] (updated as of 2007's ''The Dracula X Chronicles''), though they were shown in the timeline that came with pre-ordered copies of ''PortraitOfRuin'', minus the descriptions.

''Castlevania 64'' (Japanese: ''Akumajō Dorakyura Mokushiroku'', "Demon Castle Dracula Apocalypse") was the first 3D entry in the franchise, one that was later given an UpdatedRerelease known as ''Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness''. Most players think they hit the PolygonCeiling really hard, especially in light of the recent release of the critical darling, ''CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight''. [[WordOfGod Koji Igarashi]], himself, effectively struck them from the official canon at the same time he disowned ''CastlevaniaLegends'', but he seems to have warmed up to them significantly in later years -- they were both included in the more recent publications of the ''[=CV=]'' timelines, and ''Legacy of Darkness'' star Cornell has roles in both ''[[CastlevaniaJudgment Judgment]]'' and ''[[CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow Lords of Shadow]]''.

YourMileageMayVary on either game, but the general consensus seems to be that they're decent titles; they're just not good ''Castlevania'' titles. Then again considering the state of later 3D Castlevania games, thats really saying something.
