Castlevania: Castlevania Practice and Test Rom is a modified version of the classic action-adventure game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This ROM hack incorporates a menu system that allows players to reset levels, select different game modes, and access features like glitch practice and positional viewing. It is designed primarily for speedrunners and testers, offering various training tools and options for exploring gameplay mechanics.
