Castlevania: The Adventure[a] is a platform game released for the Game Boy in 1989. It is the first Castlevania title for the system. Castlevania: The Adventure was re-released in color as part of the Konami GB Collection compilations in Japan and Europe. A remake titled Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth was released as a WiiWare game for the Wii. The original game is included in the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, which was released in 2019.

Set a century after the events of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse and a century before the events of the original Castlevania, the player controls a descendant of Trevor Belmont and an ancestor of Simon Belmont named Christopher Belmont who goes on a quest to defeat Dracula.[1][2][3]

The game consists of four stages, and unlike other Castlevania games, there are no sub-weapons, but hearts are used to restore health.[1] The player has three lives, after losing them the player must restart the level.[3] Weapons can be upgraded, such as the whip into the chain whip and flame whip, but any enemy damage will downgrade an upgraded weapon.[3] At the end of each level, there is a "primary evil" (boss) to confront. The four bosses are: A knight (who later appears as a normal enemy in stage four), a group of "Fleamen/Igors" from previous installments, a gargoyle, and Dracula, who turns into a bat when his humanoid form is defeated. [4] Players can utilize crystals, hearts, and crosses of gold.[4] There is a point counter, and at 10,000 points, a player receives an extra life, and receives one for every 20,000 points after that.[4] Each stage has a time limit in which to complete the level.[4]
