Game Review: Super Castlevania IV

Super!
This is another game that I first heard about through Nintendo Power. I never played it, though I do remember Simon's eight-direction whip swinging so I must have seen it at someone's house somewhere. You can tell it made a strong impression on me.
Super Castlevania IV was originally intended to be in the style of the original Castlevania, and in Japanese it even has the exactly same title--悪魔城ドラキュラ (Akumajō Dorakyura). But it has expanded levels, even more bosses, more control of Simon on stairs and through whipping, the enhanced graphics and level design that the SNES was capable of, SNES-quality music, infinite continues, and other quality-of-life improvements.
I'm not that impressed in the end.
Diagonal whipping, the greatest superpower.
