Editing Difficulties

There are 3 '''difficulties''' in the original [[Dark Castle]], and [[Beyond Dark Castle]]. In the remake, [[Color Dark Castle]], and the third sequel, [[Return to Dark Castle]], had 4 '''difficulties'''.

==Difficulties==
Here are the '''difficulties''' in [[Dark Castle Series]].

===Novice===

In [[Color Dark Castle]], the '''novice difficulty''' plays differently then the other '''difficulties''', it skips all the in between levels, from the [[Great Hall]], and has the doors take you to the final levels, [[Shield 4]], [[Fireball 4]], [[Trouble 3]], and [[Black Knight 3]]. Other changes include less [[Enemies]], longer time between [[Gargoyle]] appearances, longest time between [[Boulder]] throws from the [[Rock Henchman]], and worse aim for the [[Black Knight]].

It is currently unknown how this will work in [[Return to Dark Castle]].

===Beginner===

This is the standard, and easiest '''difficulty''' in [[Dark Castle]], and [[Beyond Dark Castle]].

In [[Dark Castle]] it contains the least amount of enemies, the longest time between [[Boulder]] tosses from the [[Rock Henchman]], and the longest wait between [[Gargoyle]] appearances. In addition, the [[Black Knight]]'s [[Mug|mugs]] don't bounce.

In [[Beyond Dark Castle]], it contains the least amount of enemies, the easiest level design, and the longest time between [[Gargoyle]] appearances.

===Intermediate===

This is the medium difficulty in the [[Dark Castle Series]].

In [[Dark Castle]], and [[Color Dark Castle]], it has more enemies, and shorter times between [[Gargoyle]] appearances. (In '''Color Dark Castle''', there is no [[Guard]] in [[Fireball 1]] on [[Intermediate]], where as, in the original, there was.) In addition, the [[Black Knight]]'s [[Mug|mugs]] bounce once.

In [[Beyond Dark Castle]], this '''difficulty''' differs quite a bit from [[Beginner]], with different level design, and slightly more enemies.

===Advanced===

This is the hardest difficulty in the [[Dark Castle Series]].

In [[Dark Castle]], and [[Color Dark Castle]], it includes the shortest time between [[Boulder]] tosses from the [[Rock Henchman]], the shortest time between [[Gargoyle]] visits, and the most enemies. In addition, the [[Black Knight]]'s [[Mug|mugs]] bounce twice.

In [[Beyond Dark Castle]], in contains the same harder level design as [[Intermediate]], along with More enemies, and shorter times between [[Gargoyle]] visits.

In addition, when beating the game on [[Advanced]], there are different outcomes for each game:

* In [[Dark Castle]], if you beat the game on [[Advanced]], it will start you over on '''Advanced''', except that the [[Black Knight]]'s [[Mug|mugs]] will bounce an extra time and the bonus ticker will count down from a higher number to allow for increased scoring.  Beating the game once more will start the game over again, except the Black Knight's mugs now bounce a fourth time and it becomes impossible to gain any more points (and thus, earn any further extra lives).  Further victories against the Black Knight simply drop the player into Trouble 3 without changing anything.  The number of times the Black Knight's mugs will bounce is indicated by the single-digit number in the bonus ticker in the Great Hall.

* In [[Color Dark Castle]], if you beat the game on '''Advanced''', the backgrounds fades out, while [[Prince Duncan]] does a dance.

* In [[Beyond Dark Castle]], there is a longer, [[Beyond Dark Castle Advanced Ending|Advanced ending]].
