Easy Mode

Easy Mode (also called Light Mode) is a mode of play offered at the beginning of some games that is easier to play than Normal Mode. It is in contrast to the more difficult Hard Mode.

Castlevania
Easy mode does not appear in the original Castlevania game, but is available in a few versions of the game, including the Famicom remake version and some cell phone games.

Castlevania: Bloodlines
You can select Easy Mode in Castlevania: Bloodlines prior to starting a game.

Castlevania: Legends
You can select "Light Mode" when starting a new game. In this version, you start out with your whip fully powered up.

Castlevania: Judgment
Easy mode can be selected from the options menu, making your computer components easy to defeat. They will also not perform Hyper Moves in this mode.

Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth
Easy mode can be selected in the options menu. Some noticeable differences are that getting hit by an enemy attack does not knock you back. You also start out with more hearts than normal. Dracula's third form will also not appear in this mode.
