Sanctum of Torment is the 15th level in the The Demon Realm and it is based on the dungeon level from Super Castlevania 4.
Layout[]
This take place in Loki's personal dungeon tower, where he punished any unfortunate soul that faces him or betrays him. This is one of the places that Simon Belmont go through on his quest to go to Dracula's castle and defeats Dracula once again in the original game.
The player will switch between going outside of the tower, where they larger than life towers in the background, and inside the dungeon chamber. Along the way, the player will also have to deal with the undead monsters, fortress-themed enemies from the Mario series and even mutant monsters from the Umbrella Corporation! The hazards the player has to go through like conveying belts, spikes that pops out of the floor, a blood of river and spike crutches in order to escape this dungeon.
Once the player reaches the top of the tower, they will have to fight Richter Belmont, a descendant of the Belmont family, who has been placed under Loki's control. Halfway into the battle, Richter will acknowledge that the player is stronger than he thought and praises them for their resilience. However, he amps up his attacks as a result, vowing the unleash his full wrath on the player. After a tough battle, Richter kneels down in defeat and the level is cleared as the player now approaches the last land of World 4, the Hellfire Peaks on the map, where Loki and Astaroth live.
If cleared for the first time, a cutscene plays of the Mushroom Kingdom Coalition surrounding Richter, who slowly recovers from the mind-control effect Loki put him under. Richter also tells the Coalition about his backstory as a vampire hunter and how it ties to his family's history. He also revealed that after his earlier meeting with the Coalition earlier, he attempted to rescue Princess Prin Prin from Loki but failed and ended up being brainwashed into serving under the demon lord. Despite his weakened condition from the earlier fight against the Coalition, he talks them into leading them into the mountainous Hellfire Peaks which ultimately lead to Loki's Castle.

Trivia[]
- Goombas had a Licker outfit in a later part of the level Raccoon City before the level was temporarily replaced with Zombie Firestorm, but was later restored in the v0.82 update. The Licker reskins were then moved to this level.
- Parts of this level were borrowed from the level "Dungeon of Misery" from the long-dead sister project Super Mario Fusion: Revival, most notably the second section.
- In older versions, the liquid in this level used to be corrosive blood, but it was changed to green acid in order to have more consistency and less confusion in regards to other hazardous fluids.
- In the v0.92 update of Mushroom Kingdom Fusion, the cutscenes of Richter recovering from his brainwashing and his backstory were added. Out of the Mushroom Kingdom Coalition members, only Professor Hector, Roll, Mario, Luigi, Arthur and Firebrand are seen due to MKF's non-linear gameplay mechanic of unlocking various playable characters at any time in any order.
