Plot
This game is a sequel to the events of the original Kid Dracula. Galamoth (called Garamoth in the game) has returned and it is up to Kid Dracula to stop him once again. However, he seems to have forgotten most of his spells. Also, many of his minions have turned against him and joined Galamoth. Death remains by his side however, and gives him tips and heirlooms from his father, Dracula, along the way.
Audio
The main musical theme is adapted from Claude Debussy's Golliwogg's Cakewalk.
