Dance of Illusions

Dance of Illusions (also occasionally known as Illusionary Dance or Third Struggle) is a music theme composed by Tomoko Sano (Sanoppi) which is most commonly associated with Dracula battles. It is considered to be the main battle theme for Dracula, or at the very least similar characters. It was first played in the final battle against Dracula in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. The theme is composed of various organ music (and in some cases, either symphonic or actual vocalizations) and percussion beats in a rhythm indicating a march. The version from Castlevania: Judgment features electric guitar beats and is slightly extended to also include bars from Black Night.
Two versions of this track were reused in Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls: the Judgment version was used during the fight against Dark King Soma in Chapter 4, 6, and 9 and the magic embodiment of Dracula in Chapter 7 and the Arcade version is used during the fight against Dracula in his first form in Chapter 10.
