The bosses are all different except for Dracula, and this final battle is much more like the classic final battle than the GB game's final battle. The max whip upgrade still shoots fireballs, but only for a limited time. There are still only 2 whip upgrades, but they're not downgraded every time you get hit. Some of the enemies that debuted in that game return, but it's not like any of them haven't shown up in other Castlevanias. There's very little about this game that makes me think of the GB original. Christopher is the current heir to the Vampire Killer whip and must kill Dracula after his scheduled 100 year resurrection. There is no elaborate story going on here. In this game, Dracula returns 100 years after being killed by Trevor Belmont and is “killed” by Christopher, but it is not until the Game Boy sequel, Belmont’s Revenge (15 years later), that Dracula is killed and stays dead until Castlevania I.

It’s set in 1576, 100 years after Castlevania III, and 115 years before the original Castlevania. In Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth, you play as Simon Belmont’s ancestor (probably grandfather), Christopher Belmont.

Thankfully, The Adventure ReBirth has very little in common with the 1989 GB original besides the story. One of these games was Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth, a remake of the first Castlevania game released on the Game Boy, and one of the worst Castlevania games ever made, Castlevania: The Adventure. Back in 2008/2009, Konami had the incredible idea of getting M2 (known for their Virtual Console emulators and Sega Ages Series) to make 3 new retro inspired Konami revival games exclusively for the Nintendo Wii's pre-eShop digital game store, the Wii Shop Channel.
