The Underground Water Vein is a the third stage of Super Castlevania IV. It is made up three distinct parts, a cavern, a large waterfall, and the ruins themselves.

Given the fact that the ruins flood all the way up to the boss room at the end, it implies that the entire stage is underground or at least in a large sinkhole.

Sub-stages

Stage 3-1: The Caverns (also called the Limestone Caverns) - The cavern is is the first leg of the path to the long buried ruins. It features dripping water and several falling stalactites.

Stage 3-2: The Waterfalls (also called the Underground Waterfalls)- The waterfall is a large vertical area that leads directly to the ruins.

Stage 3-3: The Moat (also called the Submerged Subterranean City) - The sunken ruins themselves. The most notable thing about this area, besides the small aqueducts spewing water, are the falling blocks in the first section.

Other appearances

This stage may represent a part of the most direct route to Dracula's Castle in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, continuing the path followed represented in the previous stage. It covers the area in Simon's Quest associated with the river at the Uta Lower Road.

• Section 1 - The caves could correspond with the lower portion of the Uta Lower Road, which is an underground path through a river and mountains that could correspond with the caves section of this stage.
• Section 2 - The waterfall could correspond with the upper portion of the Uta Lower Road, corresponding with a waterfall whose path is only observed while kneeling when coming from the different direction.
• Section 3 - The submerged city would correspond with Bodley Mansion, which is located by the river. It also corresponds with the Sunken City of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse and other games.
