Super Castlevania IV

Super Castlevania IV, known in Japan as Akumajou Dracula (Japanese: 悪魔城ドラキュラ, Hepburn: Akumajō Dorakyura, Devil's Castle Dracula) is a 1991 action-platformer video game and a remake of the original Castlevania on the NES. It was developed and published by Konami and is the first Castlevania game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was originally released in 1991 and later re-released on the Virtual Console in 2006 for the Wii and in 2013 for the Wii U. It features expanded play control, 16-bit graphics featuring SNES Mode 7, and a soundtrack featuring brand new pieces and remixes based on previous Castlevania music. Following the same setting as Castlevania, the game takes place in 1691 Transylvania, where the vampire hunter Simon Belmont must defeat the vampire Dracula.

Gameplay

Super Castlevania IV is a side-scrolling platform game where the player takes control of Simon through eleven levels. Players begin the game with three lives, and the game results in game over once they have lost them all. The player will lose a life if all of Simon's health gauge is depleted or if they do not finish the level within the time limit. The health gauge can be restored through food items that can be dropped from candles and enemies, or with the Magic Crystal, which is received after defeating the boss at end of each level. A password can also be entered to continue the game.

Popemobile

The popemobile /ˈpoʊpməbiːl/ (Italian: Papamobile [papaˈmɔːbile]) is a formal name for the specially designed motor vehicles used by the Catholic Pope during outdoor public appearances. It is usually considered as the heir of the antiquated sedia gestatoria. The popemobile was designed to allow the pope to be more visible when greeting large crowds. There have been many different designs for popemobiles since Pope Paul VI first used a modified Toyota Land Cruiser to greet crowds in Saint Peter's Square, in 1976.

Some popemobiles are open air, while others have bulletproof glass to enclose the pope (these were deemed necessary after the Ali Ağca assassination attempt). Some allow the pope to sit, while others are designed to accommodate the pope standing. The variety of popemobiles allows the Vatican to select a popemobile appropriate for each usage depending upon the level of security needed, distance, speed of travel, and the pope's preferences.

The Vatican vehicle registration plates for all official state vehicles begin with the letters "SCV" (acronym of the Latin Status Civitatis Vaticanae "Vatican City State") followed by the vehicle fleet number. The registration plate for the Ford Focus currently used by Pope Francis is "SCV 00919". In the past, the popemobile has typically used registration plate, "SCV 1", but plates "SCV 2" to "SCV 9" have also been utilized.
