[@fujin27]

I can’t believe this game is still being optimized lol

[@kokonut1156]

Me too

[@XenoGuru]

I was in shock the first time I saw the stages in this game on the Japanese version. Reminiscing on my childhood playing the U.S version; I felt completely ripped off

[@mrrfyW]

My dad still likes Contra no matter what.

[@sergedeleon9592]

Because they think this is came from us but the truth is it came from japan

[@Pirate_]

2:33 The enemy soldier: Am I a joke to you?

[@Klugger]

Best moment of the run 😅

[@EscapeTheApe]

"Oh, sorry. The way you run, we thought you wanted to dance a little. Our bad!" *shot*

[@ahahaha...XD.]

Jogging in the park with his bodyguards 😅

[@stevenkelley2842]

More like 2 player most of the time

[@Jihyunsk]

03:52 Lance: Get to the Elevator!!!!!!!! 06:36 Sylvester Stallone's Jingle All the way. poor Sly XD

[@Blankult]

5:29 i was going to say the 2nd player being left out was bad but this is way better. Nice tas

[@NarffetWerlz]

Synchronized swimmers with guns

[@Jihyunsk]

02:35 Bill: Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last? Sully: That's right, Contra. You did. Lance: We lied!

[@Lakithunder]

Don't bring Sully from Contra III to this 😦

[@Jihyunsk]

@@Lakithunder I mean Commando XD

[@Lakithunder]

@@Jihyunsk oh lol

[@Harumi_Noemy]

Que saudades desse jogo:(

[@erick999dx6]

i remember when i beated this game with the 30 lives code and no save states

[@EscapeTheApe]

Good for you. *Gives Red Falcon medal*

[@ska3143]

2:34 is the masterpiece!

[@BlefAnims]

I was confused when i saw the S shoot that fast

[@DAEGUKJW]

Ohdo Yuamu = Bill RIzer Adachi Mannya = Lance Bean

[@charlesmcclure8000]

They made it past the second level. That's pretty good

[@MajinKaine]

That title animation is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@douglaspatterson9155]

Me and my friend when mom says she made totinos pizza rolls.

[@EscapeTheApe]

That must be some good pizza rolls.

[@mragranitephantomvn9206]

Tôi từng nghiện game điện tử này hơn 10 năm trước

[@filorvus6982]

2:31

[@AnonTen]

The title is wrong, this is not NES, this is Famicom

[@cowgaming7186]

I always thought the contra guys where aliens killing the humans

[@EscapeTheApe]

I approve of this interpretation. Have a like, it's free.

[@cowgaming7186]

thanks 🙂

[@ahahaha...XD.]

5:30 Boss: "Why did you destroy me? I'd just resurrect your partner" 😅

[@veryhappytime4901]

Good

[@ELXIBACK]

El player 2 todo un pro

[@BubbaRubbie]

that ungodly screech of spamming spread-shot is music to my ears. great run

[@edgardojosegutierrezlatin9774]

8:53 the end, is nostalgic

[@LITTLE1994]

Insane play.

[@Aditya-f8t5z]

🙏☺🙏

[@crazylegs1823]

This isn't a 2 player tas...

[@EscapeTheApe]

Spoiler: It's not what you think it is, either.

[@IUsedToFermentThings]

Why kill off P2 when recount is a thing? How is this optimized? I call malarkey.

[@bahamut256]

Because sometimes it’s faster to unload the 2p sprite with a death to lower lag, to manipulate the sprite limit or to prevent it playing slow animations. It can save a quite a few frames over a run.

[@EscapeTheApe]

I lol'd at "malarkey". Thanks for the laugh.

[@IUsedToFermentThings]

@@bahamut256 That's what we call a "joke". Nerd.

[@bahamut256]

@@IUsedToFermentThings The joke is your life if you came back to a month old comment on an 80s video-game TAS to to start an internet fight.

[@IUsedToFermentThings]

@@bahamut256 Who hurt you? Do you need to talk?

[@chrispysaid]

This was strangely homoerotic

[@bufferone1115]

lmfao what

[@sidgar1]

Nah, that's just you projecting

[@EscapeTheApe]

@@sidgar1 No, it really is homoerotic. The whole game is an interpretation of the feelings Player 1 and Player 2 has for each other and the fights they have to go through to find peace. Duh.

[@SamarthEducationCenterOfficial]

Play Contra 3 speedrun in 1 minutes 👍🏻👍🏻
