Contra Speed Run NES

[@cotegt]

I remember during the waterfall stage you always piss off the other player when you go up too fast and kill them, then you get into huge fights about it.

You never used the code to get 40 lives?

[@makalribera6742]

Walter Stucke What code?

[@boethius9173]

Carlos Santander, During the start of the game when the title is moving across the screen, quickly push up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, b, a, start (or select, start for two players). I've had this code memorized since I was a kid. I thought everyone knew about it. Let me know if it works for you.

[@makalribera6742]

Walter Stucke It worked, I didn't know about that code, it gave me 30 lives though, thanks

[@boethius9173]

Carlos Santander, I'm glad it worked for you! I feel old with my memory slipping. I could have sworn it was 40 lives, but now that I think about it, it is 30 lives that you get. My, what time can do to our memories!

The ammo that starts at 39 seconds was my favorite. I used to avoid upgrading to the laser (I think that just happened @ 58 seconds too?) just so that I could keep that ammo, sweet ammo.

Fastest I ever beat it was 8:30 or so. Also I looped the game 17 times and had over 50 lives built up without Konami code. After the 9th time through the game you will only get an extra life from killing the heart at the end and the aliens are indestructible. No turbo controller, just my turbo thumb. Games score maxed out around 13th time through. I am Bill Rizer and I have a problem : ()

I just walked straight forward... no enemies, no things trying to blow me up, no possibility of falling... just straight forward.

[@sd71000]

How were you able to beat the bosses so quickly? It didn't seem like you shot at anything for very long...even so, I think the big lesson I take from this is that it's really a matter of timing. It's almost like you know where stuff is and exactly where to shoot at exactly the right times. Fascinating. I didn't play Contra at all in my childhood, discovered it as an adult. Tough, but always worth playing a time or ten...

[@kingcrimson234]

the base levels in this game always annoyed me. not that they're hard, they're just not as fun as the platformer sections.

[@blood852000]

Fuck the rules cheat

[@werehold]

That’s why Super C went with the overhead levels. Then people got all nostalgic about it, so they brought back base levels in Contra 4, but they were vastly improved.

[@ethanross1879]

I considered myself as a hero a long time ago

[@DavidWonn]

Something is very bizarre about this video. The first Rapid power up exploded on its own, and Spread shots aren’t initiating in 5 directions. Spread is only supposed to fire in fewer directions when there are more than 5 but fewer than 10 bullets already on the screen. Also note the alternation of Spread shot directions going left then right in stage 2. This is not at all what happens on the NES version. The biggest clue that something is wrong is that the wall guns in both bases never fire toward the player at angles, but just straight ahead. Please justify these discrepancies. Either your emulation is faulty or your game is modified. Compare with a recent Contra video on my KZbin channel, recorded from my iPad, playing the NES on a CRT TV to see the differences I am talking about.

[@y__h]

It's probably because of NES sprite limit. One scene that convinced me was the boss fight on Stage 4 (Base2), the heads didn't blink at all and suddenly they appear to be teleported here and there.

[@DavidWonn]

Y H You May be right on that point, but the wall guns in stages 2 and 4 never do what they’re doing here. They’re only firing ahead and never toward the player. No sprite limitation would cause this particular anomaly, so I still think either the emulation is faulty or the ROM itself is corrupt or modified. I’m not taking away from the skill of the player, but something in the description needs to say this isn’t being played on an original cartridge on an original NES.
