</>What does Boss, Cutscene & Area Select do?
Castlevania: Belmont's Curse ships with a shortcuts button on its main menu that the game keeps hidden. Switch on Show Boss, Cutscene & Area Shortcuts and the button appears in the main menu list. It opens the game's own panel with three tabs: Boss lists 18 boss fights, Cutscenes lists 5 cutscenes and Biomes lists 9 areas. Pick one and the game loads you straight into it. You play as the character from the save slot set in Character From Save Slot, from 1 to 4. It starts at 1, the slot the game's own shortcut uses. An empty slot gives you a brand-new character. Your progress stays safe. Left alone, the game's shortcut saves into slot 1 the moment you arrive. With this mod, a shortcut run writes its saves to a separate file named ProjectModsPracticeSave and never to a slot, and Restart in the pause menu takes you back to that run's own last save. Pick a save on the main menu and the game saves to your slots as usual again. Switch it off to hide the button again. A shortcut run you are already in keeps saving to its own file until you load a save from the menu.
</>What is Boss, Cutscene & Area Select?
Boss, Cutscene & Area Select brings back the shortcuts menu that Castlevania: Belmont's Curse keeps hidden on its main menu. Its Boss, Cutscenes and Biomes tabs take you straight to 18 boss fights, 5 cutscenes and 9 areas, playing as the character from the save slot you choose. Every save made during those runs goes to a separate file, so boss practice and replays never overwrite your progress.
</>Common questions about Boss, Cutscene & Area Select
What does Boss, Cutscene & Area Select do in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse?
It shows the shortcuts button that the game keeps hidden on its main menu. The button opens the game's own panel with Boss, Cutscenes and Biomes tabs: 18 boss fights, 5 cutscenes and 9 areas you can load straight into.
Will it overwrite my save?
No. The game's own shortcut saves into slot 1 as soon as you arrive. This mod sends every save of a shortcut run to a separate file called ProjectModsPracticeSave, so your four save slots are only read. Saving to your slots carries on once you load or start a save from the main menu.
Which character do I play as?
You play as the character stored in the save slot set by Character From Save Slot, from 1 to 4. It starts at slot 1, the same slot the game's own shortcut uses, so you arrive with everything that save holds. Point it at an empty slot and you start with a brand-new character instead.
How do I get back to my normal game?
Quit to the main menu from the pause menu and load your save the way you always do. Continue still opens the slot you last played, because the mod puts that choice back right after you pick a shortcut. From that moment the game saves to your slots again, exactly as before.
What happens if I switch it off during a shortcut run?
The button disappears from the main menu again. The run you are already in stays a practice run: its saves keep going to their own file until you pick a save on the main menu, so switching off halfway through a boss fight can't overwrite one of your slots.
What options does Boss, Cutscene & Area Select include?
Character From Save Slot
Which save slot's character a shortcut run uses. The game's own shortcut always uses slot 1. That slot is only read, never written; an empty slot starts a new character.
Show Boss, Cutscene & Area Shortcuts
Shows the game's hidden shortcuts button on the main menu, with 18 boss fights, 5 cutscenes and 9 areas. Runs started from it save to their own file and never to your save slots. Switch it off to hide the button again.
