Game Over

Unlike the previous games, when you get a game over, you get no second chances. The screen's theme is  Land of Benediction . Some characters will say insults that let you know you have failed. If you die from a character who is unable to speak, an evil voice will say "GAME OVER!" and do an evil laugh, just like it did here in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Mufasa - "How do you like that, you little spoiled-rotten brat?!"

Xenahort - "Darkness cannot be destroyed. It can only be channeled."

Kerchak - Your game is over. You're not one of us...

King Candy (Laughs maniacally.)

Bowser - "Bowser overcomes all!"

Maleficent - "You've fully embraced the darkness within yourself."
