Demon's Blazon - Makaimura Monshou Hen (Jpn, Prototype)
Demon's Crest (Japanese: デモンズブレイゾン 魔界村 紋章編, Hepburn: Demonzu Bureizon Makaimura Monshō-hen, "Demon's Blazon: Demon World Village Crest Volume"), is a side-scrolling platform video game developed and published by Capcom for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It is the third video game starring Firebrand (an enemy character from the Ghosts'n Goblins series, known as "Red Arremer" in the Japanese version), following Gargoyle's Quest and Gargoyle's Quest II. Unlike its predecessors, Demon's Crest has a dark, gothic feel and features some similarities to Konami's Castlevania series.
The player collects different 'crests' which, when equipped during the game, allow to change into different-ability Firebrands. Some of the possible powers are Earth, Wind and Water. The player also collects talismans, magic potions and other equipment during the journey.
The gameplay is a mix of standard platforming, with mild RPG elements. Each level can be played multiple times, and often the player has to revisit a level with new Crests to access areas, items and bosses that could not be accessed before.

Plot
Firebrand is on a quest to collect all of the elemental crests, magical stones which preside over their respective elements (Fire, Earth, Water, Air, Time and Heaven). It is said that when all crests are combined, the Crest of Infinity will appear, allowing its holder infinite power, and the ability to conquer all realms with it. During his quest, he is crippled in a battle with the Demon Dragon in his efforts to claim the Crest of Heaven, and his nemesis Phalanx uses Firebrand's moment of weakness to attack him and steal all of his crests for himself, with the exception of the Crest of Fire which was broken into pieces in the fight and Firebrand was left with only one shard.
Having fallen back to earth in the coliseum where he fought the Dragon earlier, Firebrand is forced to destroy the incarnate undead dragon for good to survive, then go after Phalanx and reclaim the Crests. The game states that Phalanx stopped Firebrand from completing his conquest to rule over the Demon Realm, and Firebrand seemingly wants to reclaim the crests to continue this attempt to reach power, or just for revenge on Phalanx. However, during the True Ending, which the player attains upon defeating the "Dark Demon", it is stated that "realizing that his true power is not derived from the crests, Firebrand disposed of all the crests".
