Speed run of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse without a spirit parter done during October 2003. This is a special run for me, as it was the first time I ever completed the game without using any partners. Until I found the secret to beating the "evil twin" boss on the next-to-last stage, I didn't even think it could be done. Behold, the mighty power of Holy Water! :)
There were a lot of places where I seem to take my time, for safety reasons. You can take damage VERY quickly on later levels, plus you have to be careful not to change weapons at the wrong time. There is a bit of room for improvement, but overall, I would say that this run was pretty clean, except for a few nervous mistakes during the first "castle" stage.
