How to Play Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
Quick start
Press START, use SELECT to choose GAME START and confirm with START. In the opening town, speak to residents during daylight and inspect the merchants before spending your hearts; Holy Water and the White Crystal are useful early purchases. Practise a short trip outside town and return for healing. Choose PASSWORD on the game-over screen when you want a code for a later session.
Controls

START opens or closes the item subscreen; select a usable item there, then press up+B to use it. SELECT pauses or resumes play; on title and game-over menus it changes the selected option, with START confirming.
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest — About this game
Simon’s journey now links towns, forests and mansions rather than presenting a single sequence of stages. The five scattered remains of Dracula provide the main objective, but reaching them also requires equipment and a willingness to revisit suspicious places. Monster hearts are purchasing money as well as part of progression, so choosing a stronger whip competes with buying useful objects. Daylight matters: shops and churches close at night, towns fill with undead and enemies become tougher. Talk to residents, but test their advice rather than treating every statement as a reliable instruction. Holy Water can reveal breakable terrain, and crystals help open routes that ordinary movement cannot reach. The cartridge uses passwords instead of the Japanese disk version’s saving. Continuing after defeat keeps your level while costing the hearts and current experience you were carrying.
