This is the best Contra game I have ever played, and one of my all-time favorite soundtracks in any game period.

[@moopbread5582]

+mistertitanic No doubt. The replay value for that game is just so dang high!

[@Profile_Snail]

+mistertitanic Too bad Konami is trying to commit suicide.

[@moopbread5582]

fayt62 They're being really stupid. I think they've forgotten that these classic series are what got them popular in the first place.

[@supermariobro93]

0:06 Ray: “LOCKED AND LOADED!” Sheena: “LET’S ROCK!” Fang: “IT’S PAYBACK TIME!” Browny: “LET’S PARTY!”

This game has so great and badass music. Composers who wrote it are geniuses.

[@mmmonster6891]

@Sentinel Scourge mostly not, but some tunes for sure

[@ramirezmejiaignacio]

@Schwanzmajor And Michiru Yamane!

[@yrenekurtz5268]

@Schwanzmajor Akira Yamaoka returned to the series with Shattered Soldier, and man he knocked it out of the park with that OST

[@ajxx9987]

I wonder what they are up to nowadays

[@mufiku]

Honestly I befriend with one of the composer named Akiropito on twitter, that's like 4 years or 6 years ago. But then he changed his Twitter to a new one. Sadly, I forgot his new twitter handle. Anyway, he said that they are using special equipment to made those sound. He never mentioned any name or brand associated with the device they are using, but I guess it's a synthesizer or something between the line. I am really happy to met him virtually, he's a nice guy. And yes, CHC music are badass!

[@Hunter_i86]

The best one is 17:35 The Hard Corps

[@coldwater5814]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh brooo this shut crashing into action with this was liiiiiiit

[@Flea_ip]

100%. The rest of the soundtrack is still pretty good in its own right, but *damn, this track rips*

[@BradleyAtkinson-he6co]

Best opening to a Contra game

[@wingmor]

14:55 Yoru no Nikusyokujyu - absolute banger love it

[@Aran_MD]

SNES kids had Contra 3, and that's a cool game. But no one can convince me that Hard Corps isn't THE COOLEST CONTRA GAME. Just listen to this soundtrack! banger after banger! Hard Corps is easily one of the top 5 soundtracks on the system, alongside Ristar, Sonic 3K or Streets of Rage 2

[@Olagfigh]

Imo this system sounds bad, but yea, maybe Hard Corps in one of the top of it. For me coolest Contra game is Contra 4 or Operation Galuga, mostly because I'm a fan of first Contra and both titles from WayForward are like a love letters to the original. Coolest moment in Contra history is definitely when you play Contra 4 on Hard Mode for the first time. Starting in a Jungle with great remix of Jungle theme. It was so unexpected, badass and epic. Honestly, can you have a better feeling with any other Contra game? :) I hope you are convinced now :D

[@2D_o]

To talk about the best soundtracks on the system and not mention Jesper Kyd - fatal mistake.

[@FranCastell87]

It's incredible how the levels combine with the music, the stages, the bosses, the weapons, the characters, the inventions, I love that motorcycle that turns into a mechanical emu! this game is a work of art ! Fang ! They made a badass wolf and gave him sunglasses!! s2 !

[@spase667]

I can't get over how good Last Springsteen is as a boss fight theme. I remember being a kid and just completely blown away at the reveal of the alien core at the top of the speeding missile. It was so weird and grotesque compared to the robots you're fighting at the beginning of the game, and pairing that shock with the pounding double bass drums made for a moment I'll never forget!

[@endorPK]

I still remember how I was amazed when I saw that level. It was in small local -place where the owner has been renting Genesis to play in store. Local kids always played Contra Hard Corps here and and one day some guy managed to get to this level and beat up the game. That day convinced me that everything is possible.

[@KarcusKorpse]

The hardest thing about the game is trying to pick a favorite track. They all sound so bad ass!

[@TachyBunker]

Yes!

[@elboobio5920]

When you fight the doctor's experiments would be my pick for favourite, but they're all great.

[@archv6539]

Definitely best ever Contra.

[@adyatmaputra6768]

39:38 my favourite bos stage... Love it when it start playing, the best time

[@sherwood_alex]

BEST TIME TO KICK SOME ROBOTS ASSES

[@irfanafendi4837]

[@diegoleao]

Hearing this in headphones is amazing XD Great use of Stereo, you hear sounds popping left and right sometimes every half-second, just trippy.

[@Marodorg]

[@blakeharvard5841]

Best Contra ever made besides alien wars. That dog wolf wearing sunglasses blue jeans Terminator like arm and that can stand upright and use a firearm blew my mind when I was a child.

[@bryanclevinger]

My go to character every single time!!!! My one brother would always pick the robot, and ironically my other brothers name is Ray😄

[@DoesNotInhale]

Soundtrack is way ahead for its time and especially compared to other complex OSTs they understood the hardware better. Also titles like R.A.V.E..... and JB303 (reference to the legendary TB303 synth) these dudes were going to a lot of underground shows hence their dope taste in music.

[@marbistacio]

years searching the inspiration songs of the soundtrack

[@pied6piper]

"Adventures of Batman and Robin" by Jesper Kyd pushed hardware even further. But I agree that Hard Corps OST belongs to top 3 on Mega Drive.

[@TachyBunker]

Dont forget Simon 1993 with THE reference!

[@Nomadic_Gaming]

id say the megaman x games and this were peak for just everything of this console gen also a spirit of bushi just goes so fucking hard as a track and the fights with jt are ridiculous
