This is the song that plays in the second level of Kirby’s Dream Land, but it becomes a Castlevania medley. The stage takes place in a castle, and the rip references every location in the first Castlevania game, followed by Haunted House (AKA Castle Boss).

A little backstory: Kirby and Castlevania are two of my favorite video game series. In 2010, a dream project of mine was to have Kirby’s Dream Land recreated in 2.5D. I started making Castlevania remixes in the style of Kirby’s Dream Land songs for a hidden “Alucard Mode,” and my favorite was a Castle Lololo styled rendition of Vampire Killer. I even made a version using Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland instruments, but never actually released it to the public. This rip was my attempt to revisit the idea. It was also a subtle reference to the second song I ever performed as Shyabeetus, a Castlevania series medley titled Castle Incarnate.
