Contra, Super C, Contra 3 Speedrun Single Segment

It's a speedrun of the 3 games (NES and SNES) aiming for fastest completion without restarting. Once I beat the first one, I need to play the other two without restarting. If I got a gameover at Super C or Contra 3, I'd have to play Contra again, as if the 3 games were in fact a single big game.
Well, I managed to finish them in less than 1 hour. And here is the result. Enjoy.
PS.: This is a speedrun of the game, but it was made on emulators so I could easily record the AVI. I used a dual shock playstation controler, without turbo buttons or special button combinations. Everything was configured to be as close as possible to the real consoles.

That was an excellent piece of work. Your Contra 3 antics had me in stitches. I watched the whole thing and was highly entertained.

[@elbryan42]

Very nice! Thanks for posting this. Watching all three without a break really shows what skill this game takes. While not perfect, or the fastest, my hat goes off to you. Great job! :)

[@pdubs1900]

I know this is late, but I respect that this run isn't perfect. But what really gets me is the brilliance of your bullet pairings on C3 to make up for the limitations on the strongest weapons! Very enjoyable

[@garvensman]

Good job man, I really like your style of gameplay, you don't try to look all badass by using tools and you don't just rush though either, you kill nearly every guy and all that. Thats how I play myself and if I ever record myself it would be similar to your style. Great job again

[@JonathanFerGold]

Stage 3 of Contra III is the undisputed masterpiece of all Contra stages.

[@JonathanFerGold]

The music starting at 52:57 is certainly an act of homage being paid to Alan Sylvestri, music composer for the Back to the Future and Predator films. No doubt about it.

[@gocalibergaming]

These has to be the 3 best contra games in the series.

[@negative74]

This brings back so many memories of me as a child & my friends as well... Neil,sth & mike & i would play these games & they were the greatest games in my opinion. Great work, my friend.

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

there are two reasons: 1 - there can be only 10 of your own spread gun bullets on the screen at all times. So, if you shoot too fast, it'll only throw 1 or 2 bullets per shot. 2 - the bullet flickers every other screen frame, (the game runs at 60 fps), but youtube only goes on 30 fps, so some bullets are always lit and others are always dark.

[@BigTallRob18]

Wooow...you came...very close to a game over right at the very end. Well played - that was insane. All without save-states and what not? If so - holy crap man. Just incredible.

[@mikefm4]

what an awesome idea for a video! great game, was and still is (even with how dramaticaly different games are now) in my top 10 all time favs

[@GamingPalooza]

how did u get 60 mins to fit 100mb?

[@FBProductions12345]

Memories! YOU'RE A PRO! GREAT!

[@bigsonarn]

Damn, man I just realized how awesome the sound and graphics are for Super C using only the NES hardware.

[@Dillinger910]

One of the best games of its time. If you owned a Nintendo you owned this game.

[@lepape74374374374]

Some people win soccer world cups... Some people win tennis tournaments, some people need a few seconds to swim 100 meters. But THIS is a real athlete !

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

The longer the speedrun the harder to be optimal. If I was speedrunning just contra 1 it'd be much better. Thanks for watching

[@007MoDom007]

Those contras are my favs, nice video.

[@KingBooPingo]

This vid is so awesome man.

[@Th3ch0s3n0n3s]

you are a hero to mankind.

[@XAytherxRedictusX]

Bravo! I'd like to see your other speedruns too. :D

[@Sh00peh]

rofl 24:00 "SIR!! HE'S JUMPING STRAIGHT UP AND FIREING STRAIGHT UP! WHAT DO WE DO?!?! WHAT ARE YOUR ORDERS SIR????"

[@blueredpandaproductions]

THIS GUY IS GOD

[@SavageBunnyGirl]

"One... guy... has been killing you all by the hundreds! ... And, yes, I am aware that sometimes he is not alone."

[@Beko2095]

Ah i remember the good old days when i used to play Contra and Super C the whole day xD

[@Dragonmaster146]

Do you get a Life every time you beat a boss in contra 1 and super contra?

[@RWB1980]

unbelieveable run!

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

Thanks, it's probably the difference in our weapons of choice. I chose the weapons that deal most damage instead of Spread guns and Homing guns exactly for that purpose. You gotta know where to shoot during the levels though when going with Crush missiles and Laser or you'll be quickly surrounded.

[@toucanpamela]

pro stuff, excellent quality

[@Koronia047]

man...u rock..i only made it to the 6th lvl on the first gamed u played here

[@niespeludo]

You remind of...well... myself and my youth playing these games, specially the way you played Contra 3. Just out of curiosity, are you planing on doing contra 4? Nowadays is simple to record on an emulator.

[@garvensman]

Have you played Contra 4? That's a hard friggin game.. but it's got awesome challenges and has Contra and Super C in nes form, with old skool cheats! Good stuff...

[@ProgectG]

I totally don't remember that last last boss on Contra 3. When it's climbing the wall? Never seen that before.

[@Anemite]

love to hear the original songs of the games, since contra 4 used remixed versions of those songs and even remake some bosses

[@JonathanFerGold]

Yes sir! : )

[@valkiriforce]

Consider yourself a hero.

[@boy4534]

awesome :D, and kool nice 1hr vid :P

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

memory can be deceiving to make up for you getting a lot gameovers ;) thanks!

[@rainniu]

Awesome.

[@CraigFoye80]

Yippie-Kay-Yay, Robo-Corpse!

[@reveillain9479]

36:56 Love that music.

[@sandy1980ification]

The 3 games are awesome and have very good music but the best music is from Contra

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

Hard corps isn't part of the main storyline. I have just started playing Contra 4, I can't beat it on Hard yet, and got 30 challenges done. If you know a way to record a NDS gameplay, I'd like to know.

[@Jorge_Bleisen]

I prefer the japanese version of the first Contra, however, I'll give you thumb up !!!

[@Broncos1684]

Awesome video

[@automap]

I've often felt that, too.

[@Jermbalaya]

Wow you are a master!!!!

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

I think nintendo would love to have these games there, it's just that the companies that own these titles don't want to do that just yet.

[@simplyxwilliam]

nice u beat 3 of the contra games

[@Gd0ubl3]

the select is only when you're doing two player. So for those who usually played this game with a friend, select usually gets plopped in there from memory.

[@popgogame]

Now I am 20 years old I wanted to play this game.

[@chevalier2000]

You rock and that's not a TAS, ouf ! I don't like TAS. Here that's real and you die time to time. In the final boss of contra 3, 1s later you will lose the game, you are lucky :) Great movie for a great player, I never beat contra 3 in hard, so that's the 1st time that I see that the final boss can fly ! Thanx.

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

thanks! but, I went as fast as I could, so it is a speedrun. It's just far from perfect. I had to go back a bit at places so I didn't have to restart all over by getting a gameover.

[@rogacien666]

really like your contra 3 strategies of using laser and crush at once... It RAPES enemys!

[@niloelcharlie]

contra es aceptable lo de super c es espectacular pero lo que hiciste en contra 3 es sublime

[@lemonguy]

you are f*ckin beast at Contra 3, you beat bosses that took me 3 minutes to beat on easy in lie 5-10 seconds on hard.

[@Lifeseberr]

lol u got lucky at the end you almost got game over :P

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

I also like contra 3. I think some people don't like the turbo machine gun default weapon, they want to keep pushing the same button madly.

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

Oh you mean Lobo for the snes? THat isn't 3D at all, it's pre-rendered and it's in 2D. I think the game you're looking for then may be Doom Troopers, look it up.

[@stinyg]

thanks for this video, i had played contra and super contra C, i disliked NEO contra. Right now im playing Contra4 on the DS

[@zombieddie73]

Here's one for the music: Sound test: Hold A + B and press Start at the title screen. I think this works for both part 1&2

[@zombieddie73]

There are codes that you can do at the tittle screen (like u,u,d,d,l,r,l,r,B,A start) and others that will let you play all the tracks of the game then all you have to do is record them. hope that helps

[@Illusion666]

lol This isnt really a speedrun per se but it was still damn good. A real speedrun the person would've ignored some of the stuff they didnt have to fight. Anwyays better than what I can ever do... up up down down left right left right B A ftw >.>

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

3D for the SNES gotta be either star fox, vortex or stunt race fx.

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

thanks, yeah, all without savestates, that's why I didn't "ignore some of the stuff they didnt have to be fought." I had to be at least a bit safe ;)

[@refns2005]

In the first two i know i could def do them faster but i struggle with contra 3. if i knew how to stream from my tv to my computer i would do it on live stream. i also don't have a controller to run the emulator. I was impressed with contra 3 though, you could still use some improvement.

[@percast]

Ur very good then. Congrats!

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

to feel very exotic and alien (for people who don't do that often, wearing elephants for a hat)

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

was it when I had the invulnerability item?

[@quinhonez]

great games

[@lemonguy]

omg, they made the X-Box 360 arcade version a lot easier, and i could barely make it 5 levels into that!

[@Dillinger910]

Not saying that your wrong, but people just added the select because it was a common code for Konami games back then.

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

I don't know how to put a nintendo DS game on youtube. Do you? I'd like to know.

[@Mazryonh]

And to think Metal Gear might have turned into a game just like this series.

[@MasterMewtwo239]

How can you finish Contra 3 with Laser and Cluster? I prefer Homing and Flame... Laser is only good for the overhead levels.

[@garvensman]

forgot to ask, I'm curious as to why you didn't add Contra Hard Corps to your list?

[@becongeneral]

lol i have contra 3 and that snake thing is the worst one always killes me. great job tho ill have to play the others. i can get to the biker level in contra 3 without loseing a life, very hard

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

Laser + Cluster have much higher damage per second. Homing and flame are only good when you don't know exactly where to shoot, as they kill a lot of weak enemies quickly. But I wanted to kill the bosses quickly (I don't care about the enemies, they don't delay me)

[@kampa81]

Yo but you know what would be cool? A brand new Contra that is more of an RPG ala Metal Gear Solid. I'd buy that.

[@Danniku]

Actually, nowadays it's not because of the Director tag, it's because they joined before the 10 minute limit was put up. damn youtube.

[@zombieddie73]

That sound test will work on the japanese version of the game,you should be able to find the rom of it,they say it will not work on the US version.

[@loonyun]

Nice...I got contra and super contra..

[@automap]

Plus, it's kinda bullshit that earlier members retain the ability to upload vids longer than 10 mins. Why did they do it that way?

[@armandorey]

I HAVE NOT PLAYED THIS FROM 1993 AND MEMORY THAT TRICK FOR 30 LIFES BUT DONT KNOW IF IS CORRECT, no se mucho de ingles, y solo recuerdo que habia un truco para las 30 vidas y no he podido jugar mas esos juegos que tanto me encantaron

[@Slayerfide]

uh, dont you mean contra 3? i think he got really good at timing what he wanted to appear

[@hugitout23]

hes really good at this i tried playing this with a controller i just got but the D-pad isnt good enough (logitech dual shock) and its hard ashell to control it

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

of course, but that'd be slower! (i'd be more careful) and thanks!

[@cruz3200]

(Just to ask ) Is it possible to play an emulator , like nes or snes with a ps3 remote?

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

It was played normally without assistance. (I didn't even wait between games).

[@boy4534]

um but w8, ur life and score becomes to 0pts and 3 lifes when ur onto the next version?

[@DigitalLuke64DD]

To capture Contra 4, you could hold it in front of a mirror, zoom in, and then with video effects, mirror it back. Stupid but good.

[@TektonicDragon]

So far, how do you like Contra 4 on the DS?

[@007MoDom007]

you can with an xbox controller... not sure about ps3 remote, but u can pickup xbox controllers for cheap if u dont already have one laying around.

[@Roxxxxxxxbottttter]

You almost "Game Over'd" near the very end. You would have had to play Contra 1, 2, and 3 all over again! If you're feeling up to it, you should get ahold of Contra 4 somehow and play all 4 of them back to back.

[@polorolax]

pongan algo en esp

[@FurryFan]

goddamn the last boss in contra is completely ridiculous his goddamn attacks are completely insane and nearly impossible to dodge ESPECIALLY that gay looking blue sphere attack I dont know who could dodge that...

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

uhhh.... Contra 3?

[@PsychoJosh]

I do, repeatedly. I know all of Contra 1 inside and out.

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

humm not really, it took be about 2 hours because I retried contra a few times, but once I got a sufficiently good enough contra run I just went through the other 2 which I know better.

[@NesrocksGamingVideos]

really? I don't remember that
