The NES version of Castlevania 3 is already infamously difficult, so how about not only doing a no death run of it, but also doing a no death run of the even more brutal second loop, back to back in a single segment?

Castlevania 3 is my favorite NES game, and I've done all sorts of runs for it, including the Loop 1 + 2 no death run, but I didn't record it back when I first did it and I also saved after the first loop to take a break, so it wasn't technically a single segment run. I rectify that here, and I also made sure to make it even harder by not skipping the Clock Tower on the Second Loop, going through Alucard's path, and going into the Sunken City on the Second Loop (where the final Block of it is the outright hardest part in the game). Overall it didn't take that many tries and so no big attempt counters, even despite playing with a Switch Pro Controller that has a deteriorated d-pad that requires pressing it hard to register inputs (all the weird movements and nonmovements in the video are because of that), but considering failed runs can stretch over an hour, this still took some time to get.

If you want a level by level breakdown, it'll be in the pinned comment (as I can't fit it in the description).

I may do more CV3 challenge runs in the future, so perhaps keep an eye out for that.
