| Castle in the Darkness (Video Game) / int_15da4941 | comment |
Badass Adorable: The hero himself, who despite being one of the castle guard, looks like a little child in tiny armor, completely dwarfed by even the most basic of enemies, yet single-handedly faces down the monsters that wiped out his fellow guardsmen. | |

Defeat Means Friendship: Once the hero defeats Ruth in her house, she apologizes for her Disproportionate Retribution and even helps him to enchant the White Orb should he bring it to her, which is necessary for the Golden Ending. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Castle in the Darkness (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Taking inspiration from its Metroidvania cousins, the game has two endings. Bad Ending — The hero makes it through the castle to find Princess Isabelle defeated by the Dark Sorcerer and no longer convinced of her father's survival. The hero then battles the Dark Sorcerer and kills him. The castle collapses, with the hero and Isabelle escaping on Razor Wing, and the end tells that the king was never found or heard from again. Golden Ending — After finding the White Orb and getting the witch Ruth to enchant it after her boss battle, the hero instead finds Isabelle defeated like before, but this time she has her father's pendant and is convinced he's still alive. The hero then uses it in the battle with the Dark Sorcerer to reveal he IS the king. After using the White Orb to purify him of his possession, the hero faces the true threat, the Demon King, and defeats him. The castle collapses, and the hero nearly falls to his doom, but Isabelle and Razor Wing catch him midair, saving his life in the nick of time. | |

Playing with Fire: The first magic spell you get lets you charge and launch a fireball. In the House of Ruth, you learn another fiery spell called Explosion Fire that lets you fire a sphere that produces a fiery explosion in the form of orbiting particles. | |

Upgraded Boss | |
| Castle in the Darkness (Video Game) / int_244b57ba | comment |
The Frog Knight is fought twice in the game; the first time in the Agros Forest, and the second time in the Grand Hall. In the latter appearance, he ends up being more difficult than in the first fight, having donned a new suit of armor and wielding the Rune Sword, increasing his health and damage, and his bubble attack became much more direct and damaging. He also gains ability to absorb magic attacks to power his unique attack. | |

Frog Men: The Frog Knight is a humanoid frog who appears twice as a mid-boss, opposing the hero due to seeing him as a rival standing between him and Princess Isabelle's affections. He even appears to clash with the hero in the Golden Ending credits, eating the dual popsicle intended for him and the princess, only to get beaten down again. | |

In the latter appearance, he ends up being more difficult than in the first fight, having donned a new suit of armor and wielding the Rune Sword, increasing his health and damage, and his bubble attack became much more direct and damaging. He also gains ability to absorb magic attacks to power his unique attack. Razor Wing also has two Optional Boss fights in the game. The first time, it's fought at the Clock Tower after the player gets the Chain Mail, and the second time it's fought in the Grand Hall, where, after you defeat it, you can obtain the Gale Cutter spell. | |

Damsel in Distress: Played with, as the missing Princess Isabelle sets up the plot with the hero thinking she was kidnapped and is in need of rescuing. Subverted fairly early on when it's shown in the Cave of Serpents that she's taken up a bow and is planning an assault on the castle to find her missing father. | |

Save the Princess: Princess Isabelle went missing, so it's up to the hero to rescue her. Subverted early in the game, because she was never kidnapped, but instead she took up a bow and went on her own adventure to rescue her father. | |

The Goomba | |
| Castle in the Darkness (Video Game) / int_58efc711 | comment |
The Goomba: Zombies serve as the most basic enemies in the game, being easy to kill, moving very slowly and their only way to attack is inflicting fairly-low Collision Damage. The actual Goomba expies, called Gumheads, serve as middle-game enemies instead, and are quite tougher than enemies encountered before, though they are still relatively weaker compared to most enemies encountered in the same area, and once the player obtains the Spiked Cleets, they outright become completely harmless. | |

Underground Monkey: Several enemies possess harder counterparts with different colors, which have more health and have some behavioral changes. For example, in Agros Forest, Zombies are replaced with the Rotting Zombies, who spawn maggots after death, while Arreys are replaced with Red Arreys that blow apart into damaging bones once they're killed. | |

True Final Boss | |
| Castle in the Darkness (Video Game) / int_8029fa50 | comment |
True Final Boss: Once the player obtains the White Orb and has Ruth enchant it, it gets revealed that the Dark Sorcerer is actually the possessed King. Once he's purified of the darkness, the true villain, the Demon King, is fought as the final boss of the game. | |

Superboss | |
| Castle in the Darkness (Video Game) / int_8454f523 | comment |
Superboss: The game has two extraordinarily difficult bosses whose defeat allows the player to obtain the strongest weapon and magic in the game. X, the enigmatic dimensional guardian, can be fought only in the Crystal Tower, which is very difficult to bring forth and requires a hidden item to summon it, and he can be fought only after defeating two other difficult optional bosses. And he doesn't pull any punches; X possesses an One-Hit KO attack and summons many projectiles that can be very difficult to dodge. He also has a second phase where his head detaches from his body to bounce around the arena and inflict Collision Damage, and fire down a devastating laser beam that inflicts tons of damage to the player, and considering that his head floats around everywhere, it would be very hard for the player to hit it. After defeat, he bestows X-Sword, the strongest magic in the game, upon the player before disappearing. Appolyon, a giant Eldritch Abomination with crab-like shell that can be fought only on optional path in Sorcerer's Quarters, possesses lots of health, can fire either many blocks from below the arena or a laser that requires a precisely timed double-jump to dodge, and summon a group of bug-like flunkies. After that, it reveals its fleshy, winged, cycloptic core that fires bullets in 8 directions and needs to be attacked to damage the boss. Once the player depletes its health, it feigns defeat before revealing its second phase where the core separates itself from the body to attack the player. It attacks faster than usual, can fly around and frequently summon bug-like servants, and is vulnerable only to magical attacks, but can be attacked at any time. After its defeat, the player can obtain Castael, the sword of light, and the strongest weapon in the game. | |

Orcus on His Throne: The Dark Sorcerer does not directly impede the heroes' progress, relying on his monsters to do the job, and simply waits in his personal chambers for the hero's arrival. The Demon King that possesses him doesn't do much better, as he just sits on his throne even when fighting the hero, never even bothering to get up. | |

Defender, the boss of the Windy Ruins, can be beaten only by deflecting its crystal orb attacks back at it. This is the only way to destroy it; attempting to attack its eye would do nothing. | |

King Mook: Several bosses in the game are simply boss versions of the regular enemies the player faces. Mr. Arrey is a giant Arrey that behaves just like his smaller counterparts, running around and throwing bones. Armor Shell, found in the Cave of Serpents, is a giant counterpart to S. Shells, hermit crab-esque enemies. It can even drop them down the ceiling during its fight. Blood Rose is the boss version of the same-named enemies, being a giant plant that fires red projectiles from its four mouths. Donamazu is the boss counterpart of Sushys. It can even summon orange Sushys to assist it during the fight. Inverted with Camillo, the first boss in the game, as its smaller regular mook counterparts are not faced until the Windy Ruins, where they attack simply by firing three crystal orbs down. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Castle in the Darkness (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: This game loves to reference many others, with artwork, names, enemies, and even certain weapons shouting out to its forebears. One person gives the knight a giant treasure chest, saying "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!". In another part of the game, you encounter an old man who says "What a horrible night to have a curse.". Many, many enemies in the game reference other popular franchises. You can find a blue hedgehog that curls into a ball and rolls at you, Axe Armor, Medusa Heads, and Skeletons from Castlevania, a fairy that exclaims "HEY! LISTEN!" when you take contact damage from her, a knight throwing lances that has his armor shatter when you hurt him, exposing him in his underwear, and quite a few more. Several of the 'Loading' Rooms seen in the game reference several other games. One elaborately-decorated hallway looks like it came straight out of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, while another loading screen has a segmented Mega Man style boss door in front of it, complete with sound effect when it opens up to let you in. Frog Knight, a recurring frog boss in the game, wields a sword, uses his tongue in combat, and thinks a lot about the princess, just like a certain Frog from Chrono Trigger. After you defeat him the second time, he begs for mercy the same way Dr. Wily does upon defeat. An oddly-familiar grey pipe that warns the player not to try and pass through it shows up in Alexandria early in the game. One of the hidden endings references the Easy-Mode Mockery of I Wanna Be the Guy, complete with a ribbon for the your protagonist. The world artwork in this hidden ending includes hills with eyes from Super Mario World, and a castle straight out of Super Mario Bros.. One of the vertical rooms in the Crystal Tower has no platforms except for a bunch of Tetrominos straight out of Tetris for you to climb up. The Man-Eating Plant boss greets you with the saying of "Hello! Baby!" before eating a civilian, and in the Castle Entrance, you can find a secret room with a dead red lizard-like creature that says "Sorry, I'm dead". Both of these are references to the first two bosses of the Monster Party. The game contains two references to 8 Eyes: one of the magical powers you can learn is an ability to summon a falcon called Citrus, a reference to Cutrus. Much like Cutrus, Citrus assists you by attacking enemies and activating special levers (marked with falcon silhouettes). Also, one of the bonus dungeons is called the House of Ruth, exactly just like the final level of 8 Eyes. The Clock Tower contains a secret state of Balrog. | |

Let X Be the Unknown | |
| Castle in the Darkness (Video Game) / int_d99fdd5e | comment |
X, the enigmatic dimensional guardian, can be fought only in the Crystal Tower, which is very difficult to bring forth and requires a hidden item to summon it, and he can be fought only after defeating two other difficult optional bosses. And he doesn't pull any punches; X possesses an One-Hit KO attack and summons many projectiles that can be very difficult to dodge. He also has a second phase where his head detaches from his body to bounce around the arena and inflict Collision Damage, and fire down a devastating laser beam that inflicts tons of damage to the player, and considering that his head floats around everywhere, it would be very hard for the player to hit it. After defeat, he bestows X-Sword, the strongest magic in the game, upon the player before disappearing. | |

According to the side materials (such as Steam Trading Card description), the Frog Knight himself is actually an Amnesiac Hero who was turned into a humanoid frog by the interrupted magic ritual meant to turn him into a regular frog. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss | |
| Castle in the Darkness (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f | comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: The General, an end-boss of Alexandria, marks the moment when the game stops pulling any punches against the player. It's got very large hitbox (including the sword), can be damaged only by being attacked into its face, preferrably with a Fireball (which requires you to constantly hop up on the platform in front of it), and its sword swing attack takes up a lot of range, also bringing down a block from ceiling at the player. And to prevent the player from cheesing it by constantly standing on the block in front of it, it can fire a beam from its eyes to force the player to hop down. To make matters worse, it constantly comes closer, meaning that if the player stays idle for too long, there will be no room to dodge its sword attack. All of this means the player has to put quite an effort into their strategy to beat it, thus clearly marking the Nintendo Hard tone of the game. | |
