Kid Dracula is a comical gothic-themed platform game released for the Game Boy by Konami in 1993. A spinoff/parody of Konami's own Castlevania series, Kid Dracula is a port of the 1991 Family Computer game Akumajō Special: Boku Dracula-kun (悪魔城すぺしゃる ぼくドラキュラくん, "Devil's Castle Special: I'm Dracula-kun"), which was released only in Japan.

[edit] Story
The self-proclaimed Demon Prince, Kid Dracula, has awoken from a long sleep, only to discover that the evil dinosaur-like creature Garamoth has challenged him. Kid Dracula decides to destroy Garamoth himself.
[edit] Development
The Japanese name of the Castlevania series is Akumajō Dracula (lit. "Devil's Castle Dracula"), which is also the name used in most spin-offs of the Castlevania games in Japan, cementing a relationship between the two. The game's main antagonist, Garamoth, later appeared as a boss character in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. In Symphony, he dropped his cartoonish appearance and was named Galamoth (due to the ambiguity of Japanese-English transliterations).
[edit] Legacy
Kid Dracula made an appearance in the Super Famicom version of Gokujō Parodius! ～Kako no Eikō o Motomete～ as a selectable character. He is also a hidden selectable character in the game's sequel, Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodius: forever with me, which is the PlayStation and Sega Saturn version of the Super Famicom game, Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodius .
