Haunted Castle Stage 2

The Cave is the second stage in Haunted Castle.
==Overview==
After making his way out of the graveyard, Simon finds himself in the middle of a forest at night under a dense fog. As the moonlight begins to light his way, an ominous figure slowly takes form in the distance - the abode of the evil vampire himself, Castle Dracula.
After fending off hordes of zombies, bats and even skeletons that when struck shift to an ethereal form and fly with their arms reaching for him, Simon finds the entrance to a subterranean complex of caves, with an underground river flowing with a red colored liquid... as if it was blood. The level focuses more on platforming from this point onward, having Simon jumping between moving platforms while Fishmen jump out of the water in an attempt to knock him off and occasional boulders rolling his way. A Skeledragon marks a miniboss fight of sorts, and after defeating it, a staircase materializes out from thin air showing Simon the path back to the surface.
The layout now takes a more sterile look, with rock formations visible all over the place and under a blood-red sky. As Simon makes his way onward, daylight slowly starts to fade until everything becomes pitch black. A fearsome monstrosity then enters the screen, the Skeleton Snake, which are the magically reanimated bones of a dragon-like creature that slithers through the air and spews fireballs.
Once the beast is defeated, the sky clears up again and the vampire's castle appears right before Simon, lowering its drawbridge as if inviting him to the horrors it holds inside.
