Key changes:
- Players begin the game with 5 lives.
- Small Hearts are now worth 2 hearts.
- Daggers have been completely eliminated. They have been changed to either Crosses, Holy Waters, or Axes.

- More porkchops and other items are hidden throughout the levels. There are even 3 items in Dracula's room!
- Porkchops now heal Simon's entire health bar.
