>only two (not three) continues
>no 1up extends
>has passwords but they save your current lives and continues so you still need to beat the whole game with only two continues
What the fuck were they thinking?

the game was pretty easy for the most part. the inversion and split screen was dumb in stage 6 but the bosses were a joke.

There are 1ups but they're hidden in candles that look the same as all the others.
I've found at least 3 that I can remember. Still not easy with the game throwing instakills at you, but very doable compared to the absolute mounds of bullshit Castlevania 3 can throw at you.

Konami knew Genesis gamers were more skilled than SNEStards and wanted their games to be challenging.

Two continues gives you three tries, that's pretty standard.

Rondo and SCIV mogg Bloodlines

If you haven't noticed yet, the used game market went full retard about a decade ago.

Genesis, not Mega Drive.

Your premise is wrong, bloodlines is ten times better than SCVIV
