Castlevania: Symphony of the Night/DXC

The game Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles includes a port of the entire Castlevania: Symphony of the Night game, which can be unlocked by finding an item in the main game. The re-localized North American version includes items that had been dropped from the original PlayStation version and includes new dialogue that more closely matches the original Japanese dialogue, as well as new voiceovers using the same voice actors who appeared in the main game. This version also has a Japanese voice track in addition to the redone English track. The game does also feature redone sound effects. A new playable version of Maria was created for this edition as well, which plays more like her Castlevania: Rondo of Blood version rather than her Sega Saturn incarnation.

A new version of Maria was created for this game that differs from the one that appeared in the Sega Saturn version of the game. She plays similarly to the way she does in the main Dracula X Chronicles game and in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood.

==Differences from previous versions==
*The boss fight against Maria Renard is included in this port, but her moveset is different from that on the Sega Saturn version. One notable difference is that after she takes severe damage, she casts the Suzaku Item Crash instead.
*Most glitches have been patched in this revision, including the two Sword Brothers glitches, the jewel duplication glitch, and the chapel bat glitch.
*The price of the Castle Map was changed from $103 to $105. This references the increase of the Japanese consumption tax from the years these two versions were released.
*Skill books 6-8 are available in the shop.
*An option in the main game allows to customize the screen area in Symphony of the Night, such as stretching or keeping the 4:3 ratio.
*An option in the main game allows to choose between the English or Japanese voiceovers, which also applies to this port.
*The song played during the credits, "I am the Wind", was replaced with "Mournful Serenade".
*The swinging animations of Katana type weapons' Slash Flurry have been stripped down and lack their original 3D effect, except for the Muramasa.
*The scene where Death snatches Alucard's gear can be skipped simply by holding left on the directional pad upon entering the room and leaving.
