I can't play Castlevania

Well, I woke up this morning to a surprise: There was a package laying on the counter with a note from Mom saying that I had missed a package when I got the mail yesterday. Inside was Piece o' Cake for the 2600. I also went to the game store. I decided to add to my NES on GBA games collection. I got Castlevania. I can only get as far as the bat and then I die. Stupid thing won't charge me unless I charge him and when i do he hurts me. I'd like to meet the "clever" guy who thought to put actual AI in the game, i'd have some choice words for him, most of them starting with the letters F and S (and a really long one starting with M.) Why do I suck at video games? Why must I always press the button at the wrong time? This is the reason I don't play Guitar Hero. I have no sense of rhythm when it comes to moving my fingers. But it's more than that with the stupid bat. What they should have done was make it like a NORMAL boss, who attacks, then charges (NOT BASED ON IF YOU MOVE OR NOT!) A perfect example of this would be the dog in the tank on the end of level 1 of Scrapyard Dog for the Lynx. (Oh my god, I said something nice about Scrapyard Dog!) What would have helped even more would have been the ability to whip upwards. The stupid idiot can't whip a whip in the air? Give me a whip and I'd show him how to do it! So in pure anger I shut off the game and put in Donkey Kong. I actually beat the third stage this time! Wow! Wish I could say the same thing about Castelvania...

Dude, use the axe secondary weapon. You throw it in an arc and it can hit the bat even when he is up high. There is a hidden doubler in the steps in the boss room as well allowing you to throw the axes more rapidly. The axe is located in a candle near the stairs just before the boss room. There are only zombies to beat between it and the big bat, so you have a good chance making to him with it. If you do lose it somehow, you can always stand on the highest ledge in the room and whip him from there, sometimes jumping toward the center. He will dive at wherever you are standing, so when he stops flapping his wings, get ready to move, because he is coming for you. Get out of the way and whip him like mad as he strike at your previous position. With a little practice you'll be past him in NO time!

 

Good luck!

I meant whip up. I know you can whip left and right while jumping, what I meant was if you press up, the whip would go up instead of either left or right.
