This game was SO HARD! Me and my late brother would always play it together when I was 8 or 9 years old. He was 7 years older than me, alot better at it, and would always get super pissed when I died and stole his lives lmao. I watched him break a few controllers over this game and Super Metroid. Miss him.

I loved how he used the L+R pose. Reminded me of when I was a kid and did the same thing because it looked really badass

[@Noname15514]

I do it in the fire. Now that's more badass!

[@encryptedprinter3289]

It reminds me of when I was young and playing this game with my father. We played all the Konami classics together. Contra, Super C, Life Force. Really good memories

[@kirbyhero256]

The manual calls the dog enemies "Man-Faced Mutts". Seems like Konami's localizers had a lot of fun in the SNES era -- Legend of the Mystical Ninja and Gradius III come to mind.

[@POSSUM_chowg]

Also those horse heads from Super Castlevania IV are called Mr. Hed, you know, like Mr. Ed?

[@MetalLizardJesus]

Holy crap, had no idea you could kill the second boss so quick! Absolutely loved this game as a kid, struggled on hard mode and just had to laugh at how easy this guy made EVERY LEVEL look.

[@NeoKurow]

Doesn't matter how many times I see a speed run of this game is just amazing. This game gave me nightmares on hard mode during my teenagers years just because I didn't know about the weapon switch trick. If you don't use that the bosses in this game have like millions of health and you have to deal with a lot of annoying attacks.

[@seizeps]

Very cool speedrun. Game of my childhood 😃

[@TheSchnieder6]

Contra III, if Michael Bay made Aliens.

[@zer08927]

So true!

[@purifyws]

Good stuff. Seems like a nice guy too

[@gressorialNanites]

So THIS is where _that_ music comes from in IWBTG. Good to know.

[@chimp3042]

Got to see this one live, gg

[@Simon0]

The two terminators is my favourite part.

[@ivannparker4073]

36 years old and i'm just now learning you can duck down in the top down stages. FML.

[@nattobaby]

cant believe i beat this game as a kid. looking at this now, i probably wouldve game overed on the 2nd stage

[@FrahdChikun]

I haven't even got past the first stage!

[@Sandrock313]

Awesome run, but I would like to see a Contra: Hard Corps speedrun someday

[@FCJ-vy7rg]

That would be great!

[@thaianh12345]

That'd be awesome, imagine them doing all 4 endings for all 4 characters

[@stepheng8061]

I beat this game on gameboy at a sleepover literally took all night This guy does it on snes super easily Damn that's good

[@Kewfung]

To this day, I've yet to finish this game solo :(

[@astajsis]

I love this event, can't wait for Dark Souls runs.

[@DynaSuarez9999Wrecks]

I always thought the laser was the strongest weapon...

[@regularstan6212]

Wow he made the game look easy

[@lankymaccrazyhair264]

Funny, I never liked the spread gun in this game.

[@juanmena3648]

Isn't *[L]* stronger than *[S]* ?

[@johnandpaul4657]

What difficulty was this?

[@beatchef]

I beat the game on Normal as a kid but now I can only get to the Sand stage playing now. I've got to try that double crush tactic! Not that I'll be able to keep them long enough to beat the sub boss and boss on stage 3 which sap all my lives!
