Probably the most frequently heard track from this game is from Stage 1 as it will be at this point that the modern player decides if they are able to stomach the painfully slow pace of Christopher Belmont as he trudges through the Transylvanian countryside on his way to defeat Dracula. I do not recall this theme ever being reused outside of Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth soundtrack (that was coupled with Contra ReBirth) which looks like it never actually made it into the game and is kind of a shame because the melody sounds very much rooted in the style of music that I think of when I listen to Castlevania music.
And even though I have never beaten Castlevania: The Adventure, it really is the music in this game that keeps me playing it every so often. Had the opening track been anything less than this, for me at least, I may not have given this game a second glance. Or have purchased it twice, once on the 3DS and again on the Switch.
