Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PlayStation)/Unused Voice Clips

Unused Ending


A series of unused dialogue can be found among the game's sound files which seem to be part of an unfinished ending. It suggests that Maria could have intervened during the Richter fight and saved Richter herself, but would have subsequently become possessed or transformed by Shaft. It seems to include both winning and losing quotes for a prospective evil Maria battle, and ends with Alucard reflecting on the apparent passing of both Richter and Maria after she makes the castle collapse. While Maria can be fought (and played as) in the later Saturn and PSP editions, it is not under the same circumstances and does not result in a new ending. This event may have been the outcome of skipping the Holy Glasses, or perhaps the Richter battle was initially timed. Regardless, no sprites were found that appear to be related to these mysterious recordings, though Yoshinori Suzuki did briefly talk about an unused set of completely alternate "Black Maria" sprites discarded in favor of a newer "light version" in the developer's notes of the Saturn version.

Transcript
Maria: Wait! Don't hurt Richter any more!

Richter: Ma.. Maria?

Maria: Richter!

Richter: You saved me!

Shaft?: If not for you, I would have lost this fool(?)

Unknown Woman (Maria?): EEYAAAHH! Uh! Hahaha! Four Demons I hold you to your oath. Defend your master who commands you!

Unknown Woman : Oh! Such power in such a little girl. Hahahaha!

Unknown Woman : EEYAAAHHH! It won't end like this! You should be destroyed along with this castle. Hahaha!

Alucard: It's over, but the sacrifice was great. Maria, Richter... I did not wish for you to die. Such is the fate of mortals. I'm certain that some dark force was behind Maria's transformation, but it doesn't matter now.
