Akumajo Special: Boku Dracula-kun and Kid Dracula should perhaps be regarded as different games.

悪魔城すぺしゃる ぼくドラキュラくん was released for the Famicom in 1990, but was never released in the west. Later, in 1993, a semi-sequel/remake, also called 悪魔城すぺしゃる ぼくドラキュラくん was released in Japan for the GameBoy, and a few months later it was released in the west as Kid Dracula.

The two games are pretty much the same, but I think there are enough differences to say that they aren't quite the same game, for example in the FC game you get coins from killing enemies which you can use to play mini-games in-between stages, and this wasn't in the GB game. There is even a dialog sequence at the start of the GameBoy game that tells you that the final boss from the first game has returned.
