'''Castlevania: Circle of the Moon''' (simply | '''Castlevania: Circle of the Moon''' (simply called '''Castlevania''' in Europe and Australia, and often abbreviated as '''CotM''') was the first Castlevania game released by [[Konami]] for the [[Game Boy Advance]]. It followed in the new style of Castlevania games (called "Metroidvanias" due to the heavy influence of the [[:Category:Metroid|Metroid series]]) that started with [[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night|Symphony of the Night]]. | ||
CotM has been removed from the official canon, and is therefore not part of the Castlevania timeline. | |||
