Finished Sypha's route, and without the movement options of Grant or Alucard, this was probably the hardest yet (stage 7 on Alucard's path is fucking unforgettable though).
I would really recommend putting in the effort to beat this game legit, Castlevania 3 really isn't as hard as its stated to be, and once you learn the ins and outs and get good, this is literally the most fun game on the entire system, its SO GOOD.

Ended up beating Alucard's route in a single day. Its alot harder than Grant's, but its far from impossible (except stage 7, that kicked my ass so many goddamn times). All it needs is time, effort and concentration. Maybe my favourite NES game oat? Gonna need a replay of Mega Man 2 just to see.
Onto Sypha's and Trevor's routes!

It’s time to replay the American Castlevania 3. One of the hardest games of all time, a shitty bastardisation of a masterpiece…
I actually think I like this version better than Akumajou Densetsu. I’m not trying to be a contrarian or anything, i’m also not trying to act like I’m incredible at games, but upon replay, I don’t think it’s as hard as its reputation suggests. Maybe it’s the route I took (I went for Grant, but rejected Sypha) but I didn’t have too much trouble beating the game.
Not only that, I realised that Grant is INSANELY good. If you use him right, he can skip hard parts of the game with ease (6-0C, 9-04 etc.)
Also, being sent back to A-02 if you die on Dracula isn’t too bad, he’s not too hard (as long as you get the axe), especially compared to the clone. If you can beat the Japanese version, you can beat the American one.
One day, I’ll try Alucard’s path, and maybe I’ll hate it, maybe I’ll love it. But for now, it’s a fantastic game.

I was really deciding between a 4 or a 4.5, but i feel the more frustrating moments of the game (9-04) hold it back. Anyhow, its a fantastic game. I played through nearly all of the stages, and beat the game once with Sypha and once with Alucard, just wanted to add that in
