Maria Mode is a gameplay mode featured in several Castlevania games, in which the player can play as Maria Renard.
Game Specific Information
Castlevania: Rondo of Blood
In Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, Maria becomes playable as soon as the player releases her from her cell. Many players consider that playing as Maria makes the game much easier than playing as Richter. She has her own set of sub-weapons, each with their own item crashes. She is slightly smaller than Richter, which allows her to dodge certain attacks much more easily than the vampire hunter. Her main weapon is summoning doves to attack her enemies. She can throw two of them at a time. She can also slide and roll in order to move faster and dodge attacks. Her special ability, called Guardian Knuckle (performed by pressing ↓ ↑ ↘ + II when facing right), deals quite a large amount of damage if used correctly. Finally, she can double jump, which is extremely useful for reaching certain platforms and dodge enemies and their attacks. However, she has far less health than Richter. Maria has her own ending, a cutesy and slightly shorter version of Richter's ending.
