For the note of extreme pedantry however, Castlevania is not a metroidvania game

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a Metroidvania (and the first Metroidvania in the Castlevania series, with almost every 2d Castlevania released after that also being a Metroidvania).

Castlevania 1 is not a Metroidvania. Metroid 1 is though.
