[TAS] NES Contra "1 player" by Mars608 & aiqiyou in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2022-04-10
Contra is a classic action game. Equipped with heavy artillery and infinite ammo, you must save the world by defeating the organization Red Falcon.
This time, Mars608 ( tasvideos.org/... ) and aiqiyou ( tasvideos.org/... ) improve the previous TAS ( tasvideos.org/... ) by 0.44 seconds, thanks to better optimisation.

The encode features a secret message at the end that's only present in the Japanese version, triggered by holding Start+Select from the moment the island starts exploding until the very end of the credits. Translation of the message: "Foolish earthlings. You actually thought THIS annihilated Red Falcon? While we lost our earth frontline base, we are already making our next move. Red Falcon will be eternally immortal....."

I will try again.

I had no idea that was hidden, thanks for pointing that + translating the message! Just a little Seizure warning at 10:57 and at the very end of the video but that's all.

@ Very much like the infamous Porygon seizure episode.

This guy TAS is amazing.

[@Slormer]

The boys are back with another insane TASterpiece! Awesome job.

@4:45 - When the TAS starts alternating between angle-shooting *in time to the rhythm of the music*... that's how you know this is pure artistry. I am absolutely in love with this run.

[@foxlycan]

You know the level tune is a banger when they start to jam out to it 5:00

[@8StringFuryGaming]

Who would win? An army composed of aliens and humanoids with advanced technology... or one boi with a really fast trigger finger? Nice Work!

[@NxVernxual]

Hell yeah now this is a TAS

[@benjithecorgi9319]

*gets Spread Gun* -Yes he’s gonna do the ulitmate way to complete Contra *gets Flame Gun 2 seconds later* -NOOOOOOOOO EWWWW

[@phihungvo992]

[@NelsonWin]

That Post Credits Message has to be the most terrifying beginning for the next sequel. Black screen with Red Font.

[@NeuralNetProcessor]

Wow Snow Field used to give me trouble as a kid, pretty satisfying to see the game beaten comprehensively like this.

[@victormelendez3385]

Duda, para que vas esquivando balas si en el minuto 6:08 claramente se ve que las balas no te hacen daño

[@chalawtf1]
