He also appeared as a playable character in DreamMix TV World Fighters and Super Smash Bros.

[3][4] Worlds of Power, a 1990s series of books with stories based on Nintendo games, has a novel about Simon's Quest.

It departs from the original plot and introduces characters not seen in the game, including junior high school student Timothy Bradley, a video gamer who crosses over into the world of Simon's Quest and assists Simon in looking for Dracula's body parts.

[6] In Haunted Castle, Simon is blue-haired and has a wife called Selena, who is kidnapped by Dracula directly after their marriage.

In Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, Simon is an extra character purchased as downloadable content, the sprite from the original game also being reused here.

[10] But, Konami shows the early design of young Simon as Gabriel Belmont a new protagonist at the game.

[11] Simon's Castlevania Judgment incarnation was designed by Death Note artist Takeshi Obata.

[12] He has red-orange hair comparable to that of Light Yagami (the protagonist of Death Note), a jacket with many belts on it that exposes his muscular chest, and bandages on his forearms.

The Bradygames Official Guide states that Simon is 23 years old and approximately 185 cm (6 ft 1 in).

He is depicted as an arrogant and egotistical vampire hunter who competes with the main character Kevin Keene for the heroine Princess Lana, who he carries a torch for.

[17] CBR is critical of the "cowardly" portrayal of Simon in the cartoon series, and felt that the creators should have drawn more from the source material.

[28] Nintendo Power listed Simon as its seventh favorite hero, stating that while it respects all of the vampire hunters in Castlevania, he was the first.

[44] While Destructoid praised and said "The axe, the cross, the holy water items, they're all here, and they work wonderfully within the confines of Smash".
