What does the 'Classic' Player Style do?

After beating Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth for the first time, I unlocked a setting called "Player Style" in the options menu. I can select either Normal or Classic style.

I presume that Classic style is a reference to the original Castlevania: The Adventure on Game Boy, but I don’t have enough experience with the original to know what’s changed.

What does the Classic Player Style option do? How does it differ from Normal?


The Classic Style changes the character control to mimic the original game:

  1. The direction of your jump cannot change mid-air.

  2. Only Holy Water and Cross sub-weapons.

  3. No whipping in the other direction in mid-air.

  4. The Flame power-up will end as soon as you are hit.
