There are actually quite a few: for example "Castlevania: The Adventure" (the first Gameboy-CV, that only the patient players can and should appreciate) has invisible ropes (the equivalent to stairs in this entry) which lead to bonus rooms. "Super Castlevania IV", which is actually a remake of the original NES game, also has invisible stairs, right before the final boss-encounter . Walking on them leads to a shower of bonus-items. Seems to be a common feature in many CV games. Really cool stuff!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-17259905306747846002012-03-23T17:05:24.612-04:002012-03-23T17:05:24.612-04:00It was also left intact in PSP remake.
