* GainaxEnding: In the good ending, [[spoiler:Gael's Castle is covered by a beam of light from the skies and fades away. Then it cuts right into the credits. Haggis presumably disappears to never be seen again, but is remembered for his deeds]].

** In one level, the merchant can say "[[Videogame/CastlevaniaIISimonsQuest What a horrible night to...]] ah, whatever."
