The character select screen's layed out like this;

|X| |X| |X|
|X| |X|
|X| |X| |X|

Plenty of room for secret characters.

That's why they work in groups! A set of three could totally drive. One for petals, one for steering, one for throwing weapons.

The squid's for multiplayer, shoots ink out at the nearest racer, blocking their top screen for a while.

Forces you to steer using only the touch screen.

Touch screen/Map, yeah. Bill's an item? I wonder if he's more than just a projectile.

I thought that the reason that the Belmonts use the VK is that it is an evils bane weapon. I also thought that the whip was created by combining a whip made from alcemey (made by an old man) and the soul of a vampire (in this case Leon's fiance), and the only reason Leon started using the whip is because he went after the head vamp with no weapon of his own.

That's the truth but not the whole truth.
The whip of flame, the whip of frost and the whip of lightening also get combined to make Vampire Killer.
It's not so much that it's the soul of a vampire,
because Leon's fiancee isn't one quite yet before he's forced to strike her down,
but that as a victim of Walter she has some of his essence trapped inside her. This essence is what makes undead related through alchemical processes especially vulnerable to Vampire Killer.

At least that was my understanding of it.

Aren't the elemental whips side missions? In that you don't have to get them to get the VK, they only help with killing those minions that have elemental weaknesses (they few of them that there are).

They may be side missions, but when it comes to Castlevania, it's always assumed that all the items + all the sidequests = what actually happened.

And a FEW?! Has it been awhile since you played?
Almost all enemies in LOI had elemental alignments! The dark palace of waterfalls ALONE is nearly impenetrable without the lightening whip...

As for the other CV games, there's always at least one water level which means lightening weakness, lots of creatures with weaknesses for fire(most undead), and creatures with ice weaknesses (fire aligned).

Wait...there is actually enough plot to Castlevania to look back at previous games and care enough about what was found where? I've never seen this before.

It's because you've never looked. Castlevania actually has a somewhat complex story.

Ignore the not great formatting on this site and highlight the text to read.
and yes, there is more than one page.

Mr.P's page is my favourite CV site, and not without reason. He fits it togeather and sums it up really well.
Also if you need further proof other than the plain truth, check out this text file translation of the japanese manual story for Castlevania III. It's in the links at the bottom of the page, under "other files".
