However, he reached a point where he could no longer abide by his father's evil ways, and is now looking for a partner to help him put an end to his father's wicked plans. A resident of underground tunnels, Alucard attacks with a Ball of Destruction, which he can also fire in three directions (if he captures a special power booster). Alucard's primary strength, though, is his ability to turn himself into a bat. However, he cannot attack while he is airborne and will turn back into human form if his wings are clipped by an enemy. Press the Select Button to call forth the password screen. Then press the Directional Key in the direction you want him to move. NOTE: Depending on how long you press the A Button, you can vary the height of Grant's leaps and bounds. 2. Time When the time limit reaches zero, you will lose one of your lives. 3. Warakiya War Item Window Warakiya War Items will appear in this window. Assisting Alucard Press the Down Directional Key and the A Button simultaneously to transform Alucard into a Bat. (Repeat this procedure to return him to his human form. ) 4. Heart Gauge This will increase each time you capture a new heart. However, it will decrease each time you use one of your Warakiya War Items. 5. Trevor's/Partner Spirit's Life Gauge Your life gauge decreases each time you bump into an evil enemy or are hit by an evil enemy's attack weapon. When your Life Gauge runs out, you will lose one life. . 6. Ultimate Evil's Life Gauge Each time you successfully attack an Ultimate Evil, his Life Gauge will decrease. When his gauge runs out, he is banished forever into the Land of Limbo Spirits. 7.
