Stage 1: The Forest
|
Sonia starts her journey to Dracula's castle
in these haunted woods. Ghosts inhabit the trees and there are hidden pitfalls
that deliver Sonia into crypts. Search for the Axe in this level and defeat
the Creatures Bat at the end.
|
Stage 2: The Library
|
The entrance halls of Dracula's castle are filled with dragon statues,
hideous hunchbacks and patrolling sword knights. Gigantic skulls attack
when Sonia's back is turned (much like the ghosts in Super Mario Bros. 3.)
Look around a bit and you'll find the Stop Watch, while the Death Dragon
awaits Sonia's presence at the end of the level.
|
Stage 3: Clock Tower
|
Sonia must climb many ropes and jump on
many gears to climb this hellish level. Bats swarm throughout the belfry and
bizarre creatures hinder your progress by hanging on ropes and spitting fire.
The third collection item is a little bit more off your path than usual this
time. The Grim Reaper will confront you at the top.
|
Stage 4: The Inner Halls
|
This level is full of spiders, knights, and
slime-like creatures that come up from the ground. You'll need to jump
on moving ropes to avoid falling in spikes, and there a few dead-ends throughout
this section (although one of them does lead to the collection item.) Alucard
will test Sonia's fighting skills at the end of the level.
|
Stage 5: The Underground Cave
|
The final level takes place underground.
Raging rapids can deliver you straight into stalagmites and merman will
attack from the murky depths. Instead of a collection item in this level,
there is an entrance to a secret stage. After you fight the Minotaur,
climb the next screen and head over to the right. Fall down this screen
and manuever Sonia so she is in the middle. She should fall on a platform
with a transparent candle. Hit it and jump off. Fall all of the way and
you'll reach the secret dungeon. At the end of the level, Dracula awaits.
|
Stage 6: The Secret Dungeon
|
The hidden level of the game, spear guards
and other vile creatures will attack you here. One section will cause
Sonia to freeze in her steps while enemy spirits attack. Not too difficult
to find is the collection item, and the evil Executioner will fight you
before you can return to the Underground Cave.
