So a lot of people are using the staircase of Dracula's Castle to justify a story mode, but I'd like to point out that its possible Sakurai was just being loyal to the original game.

At the end of Stage 6 in Castlevania, you first have to climb a staircase before entering a room filled with candles. Then you walk a little bit further until you reach the actual throne/coffin room. It even plays a remixed version of the original music. I think it is entirely possible that the staircase isn't a walkup from a storymode but rather a tiny nod to the source material, its just a tiny detail but one that Sakurai would put in. Sort of like how in the assist trophy footage, Link is the one who defeats Alucard, because the Master Sword is a holy weapon.
