Simon Belmont's whip swings in eight directions in Super Castlevania IV, and Konami redrew the castle for 16-bit hardware. A tap sends the leather across stairs and chandeliers, which the stiffer NES whip could not do.
It is a retelling rather than a straight port of the NES game. Rotating rooms, a treasure-room waltz, and crumbling bridges are new staging for Dracula's same invitation.
The 1991 castle still ends at Dracula, but the path there is a different architecture. Players who wanted the NES room order do not find it in these multi-directional halls.
Same series is the tight name match. Same franchise is the wider family. Same platform is other games on the systems named above.
