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/Users/Profile/M... ) and aiqiyou ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/a... ) improve the previous TAS ( tasvideos.org/4504M ) 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.

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

[@Slormer]

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

[@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!

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

[@NelsonWin]

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

[@anthonyiodice]

Famicom version, not nes. Incredible tas though!

[@victormelendez3385]

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

[@chalawtf1]

Es un TAS, amigo
