Normal Mode

Normal Mode (or Standard Mode) is a game set at a normal difficulty level. It is the default mode most games start with.

Castlevania Legends
Normal Mode is distinguished from Light Mode in Castlevania Legends in that you start the game in a normal state and with a Normal Whip. Crystals must be obtained in order to raise the power of the whip. The whip is reduced to a Normal Whip after each death.
