Castlevania Advance Collection – Circle of the Moon: running without double tapping

This is just a simple controller config I made to improve Circle of the Moon controls.

Castlevania Advance Collection - Circle of the Moon: running without double tapping

Introduction

This is a guide to improve CotM controls, by the end of it you will have the following control options.

  • Left Stick: used for running
  • Right Trigger: item usage, such as knives and axes
  • Right Stick button: the rewind function has been remapped here to free up the right trigger.

There are no changes to the existing controls; you can still use the D-pad to move normally and the attack button combination to use your items; this configuration should not interfere with existing controls or negatively affect controls in other games in the collection.

Setting up

1 – right click the collection on your steam library and select “Properties”

2 – go to the controller section and select “Enable Steam Input” from the drop down menu.

3 – if you are using an Xbox controller, open this link:

steam://controllerconfig/1552550/2666001203

and select “Apply Configuration”.

If you are using a Nintendo Switch pro controller, open this link:

steam://controllerconfig/1552550/2666020789

and select “Apply Configuration”.

And that’s all, you should be all set up.

Limitations

You cannot start running in midair, so the left stick mapping only properly works on the ground.

I also remapped the rewind function to the right stick button; it is a great way to free up the right trigger for item use, but it is important to bear this in mind since it might affect muscle memory.
