Remove sheet 0 for infinite loop.

Notessimo needs more Castlevania, so I covered a Castlevania song. This song is from the first game on the NES, and plays during Stage 5, in which the boss is Death (typically renowned as being the most difficult boss in the game). You can listen to the original song here. I tried to be as accurate as possible.

Castlevania, known as Akumajō Dracula (悪魔城ドラキュラ Akumajō Dorakyura, officially translated Devil’s Castle Dracula) in Japan, is a console video game developed and published by Konami for the Family Computer Disk System in Japan in September 1986. A year later, in May 1987 it was ported to cartridge format and released in North America for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) followed by a European release in 1988. It was re-released for the Family Computer (FC) in cartridge format in Japan in 1993. It is the first game in Konami’s Castlevania video game series. It was considered a hallmark of videogame potential in the nintendo entertainment system era.

P.S. There is a version of this song submitted a long time ago by a guest, but it is - frankly - atrocious. My version is good, I think.

Your volume changes are incorrect.
Tempo is too slow.
Drums aren’t very accurate.
In some parts there’s part one instruments plays and another comes after it to “answer” it

Drums sounded right to my ears. You’re right about the tempo, oops. And the volume change is probably too much, it’s more subtle in the real song. And your final point is correct I just simplified it a little; the basic melodies are here. Nevertheless, thank you TFB for your infinite wisdom.
