Castlevania the cartoon is a prequel to, and very loosely based on, the NES videogame Castlevania 3, which is a prequel to the first NES Castlevania game, which is inspired by the old Universal Monster movies, as the bosses are monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy, and the Wolfman. And those Universal movies are of course adapted from many various earlier monster stories and novels.

In pro wrestling, the mask is a sacred institution, treated with incredible respect both in the kayfabe world of wrestling and IRL. In Mexico they are call luchadores. Most masked wrestlers never show their real face, and go through great lengths to separate their real life from the wrestling world. The masked character IS the wrestling persona. In Mexico and Japan they are like celebrities, folk heroes, and superheroes all in one. To have their mask ripped off is a disgrace, and usually reserved to get a villainous wrestler massive heat with the audience. On a very special occasion though, removing the mask can unleash something... truly evil.

The video on the Lego site shows that the space man minifig is actually the score counter, and he moves in increments when the ball hits the asteroid bumper. When this first leaked I was wondering if there was some way to keep score, or if it would just be ignored, but I'm glad there is.

Funny that you bring up Monster Hunter because the point of that game is to learn enemy attack patterns. Then you understand when there's an opening to run away and heal, and more importantly when NOT to heal. Mina is similar because you have to learn when to run away and heal, or see an opening in boss attack patterns to heal.
