I think this game is about as perfect as a game can get. I do like SOTN more. But this game is a masterpiece and I consider it to be one of the finest games of all time. I struggle to find anything to legitimately complain about. It takes Castlevania 1's foundation (a game I already find to be quite great) and just refines it to a perfect sheen. I love everything about it. The graphics are stellar, the music is perfect. The level design gets it so right! I love the multiple pathways and the secret routes, they could've easily screwed that up, but they did it perfectly. I think this game has the best implementation of multiple playable characters in the series. I think Maria is so much fun, but is in a way where she doesn't overshadow Richter. I love how she can have her own routes in the levels designed for her. The bosses are amazing and the best in the series in my opinion. I dunno, what is there to complain about? Like that bat section on the final level is kind of bullshit? That's literally it I think. Play this game!
