Vampire Killer is seen as unique in the early Castlevania series for containing several features that weren't seen in other games that were intended to be remakes of the original game. For example, to progress in the game, it is necessary to acquire Silver Keys hidden in the several rooms within the game's castle, in order to open doors to other Stages and boss rooms. Other keys also have to be found in order to open treasure chests containing useful items, such as shields for protection and speed boots. Merchants can be found along the way (often by breaking open walls with the whip) who sell items to the player. While containing considerably different gameplay than the original [[Castlevania]], both games share most of the same background settings, enemies and music. | Vampire Killer is seen as unique in the early Castlevania series for containing several features that weren't seen in other games that were intended to be remakes of the original game.
