Y'heard me. That's what this segment is really called, or at least the song it's set to is. I'm sure that it's got some of its impact lost in translation, but in English it sounds to me an awful lot like some kind of euphemism for organized crime. Kinda like the "Legitimate Businessmen's Club" or something similar. Is that just me? I actually thought that I could get through this stage with two videos, but the end of Super Castlevania IV is gifted (or cursed, depending on your outlook) with an unusually dense cluster of boss fights. If it was more like the previous half of the stage, I could've cut out more of the transit time, but not so much the case --- Stage B, Part 2 Actually, this single segment of the game gets a lot of continuity nods in the series, as these guys are all closely associated with one another, as the section and theme might indicate. ...too bad that most of the time this relationship between the associates is more or less "all there in the manual"...or in this case, the monster list. May I introduce you to Slogra and Gaibon, apparently Death's top henchmen...but they get treated pretty badly by later games in the series, usually getting demoted to mook status, occasionally a boss (in tag team, even!), but if they're lucky they get to be elite mooks. Oh, and if you were worried about running a gauntlet of powerful enemies immediately after such a hellish climb of stairs (I'll personally take the Shinra HQ's stairs over that any day), any continues ...
