Alrighty next up is the final character of this game the one and only Maria! And boy if you thought she was good in Rondo of Blood wait till you use her here! I mean heck not even I have used her to her fullest potential! She can do some crazy stuff that I have not even done. So let us get down to the basic stuff shall we? First off She is far more mobile than Alucard and Richter put together why? You know the double jump? Yeah we all know that stuff in games but Maria? She takes the double jump and is like get that crap outta my face Nah Maria she can do a triple jump!!! Which is rare to have! The only other person to have that is Maxim as far as I know! On top of the triple jump she can also do a high jump and unlike Alucard`s hers inflicts damage on the enemy when she jumps up so take advantage of that. Hey, hey and we are not even done yet so sit down and keep reading alright? We ain`t even done so remember sub-weapons? Well like Richter and Alucard Maria can use them however she cannot item crash here anymore like she could in Rondo instead when used the amount of sub-weapons is doubled. Like for example if she throws an axe instead of throwing one she will toss out about 3 or more of them etc. and it is like that for almost every sub-weapon for her. oh and speaking of them hearts? Alucard and Richter? Pathetic Maria can have a maximum of 999 hearts!!! The highest of any castlevania game out there! And he can get this amount very quickly depending on how you play. And one last thing about the heart bit sub-weapon use only use 1 heart.

Now onto her basic fighting ability she no longer uses white doves to attack, now she is more of a direct combat type aswell as magic based. Her normal attack consists of a simple small magic bolt (haha feels like Mega Man some eh?) But she can also if you hold the button down charge up her attack, when she is flashing red that is maximum charge and she will fire a piercing laser out that deals heavy fire based damage to anything in the way. Most enemies die right away to this as it hits multiple times in a single blast heh works wonders on large sized enemies but be aware of the magic meter next to her health as it consumes a bunch. Then next up we have her kicks Maria can kick yes she has a kick where she is crouched down and she also has a normal standing kick, Also she can run and then kick. Her running kick is helpful and does good damage to enemies a perfect way to rush attack enemies or get rid of skeletons etc. as it`ll one shot them and you can quickly start another kick like that she she rebounds off of the enemy fast. Another kick she has is her drop kick in the air. Let`s say you jump into the air right? Like Alucard she can drop kick down on top of enemies and trust me you should absolutely use her drop kick move as it really helps a bunch on some bosses such as Galamoth or Legion etc.

Her other ability consists of Guardians Knuckle remember that move from Rondo of Blood? Where she sent out some girl in black to punch stuff for massive damage? Well it is back here and this time Maria performs the attack herself instead of projecting out that girl, although this move is much weaker here and is not overpowered like it was in Rondo so do not expect much from it.

Now off to her animal friends they are back! So Byakko the cat if you summon him Maria will charge up for a moment and then blast the enemy with fire! Keep in mind this move is Maria`s second strongest move and it is easy to start up so take advantage of that! But do not overuse it as it drains her magic meter rapidly, You can only use it about 2 times with a full meter. Since I do not know how to summon her other animals I used Byakko a bunch during this run and it carried me through perfectly fine.

Her next summon is Genbu the turtle, Genbu does not act as a perfect defense here anymore but instead he heals up her health a bit, a very handy attack for healing instead of running to save points all the time.

Her next one is her ultimate one and her first strongest attack Seiryuu the dragon! Now that dragon was overpowered back in Rondo and still is here! And what is more is you can control where the dragon flies at! This move if you can manage to call it destroys all! It even makes Galamoth look like a joke in seconds.

Then she has Suzaku the red bird but instead of raining down fire across the screen she instead calls in a familiar to help her fore a bit.

And last but not least as if she couldn`t get anymore overpowerd as she is she can summon the four beasts yes all four of her animal friends at one time and with this she becomes immune to ALL DAMAGE!!! For a short amount of time so to put everything into perspective Maria is awesome in this game and neither Richter nor Alucard can really bring much to the table to match her. Alucard maybe a bit but Richter falls way behind.
