Contra (Video Game) / int_17975d1b	comment	Unstable Equilibrium: Dying in most of the games reduces your gun to a pea shooter, and certain bosses (e.g. the Stage 4 boss of the original), increase in difficulty/cheapness the longer the fight drags on. In some of the later Contra games starting from Contra III, it's less severe. And to make things worse even in the original arcade versions of the first two titles, you can only continue a limited number of times before your game is entirely over!

Surprisingly averted with the first arcade game, which ends on a single playthrough. The Japanese arcade version of Super Contra has a second loop not in the overseas release that is even harder than the "Very Hard" setting (except for the sole fact that continuing and having a second player join will cease to be possible once you reach it).

The different spellings used for the surnames, obviously the result of a clueless translator, does obscure the reference a bit. The reptilian Plissken in Contra ReBirth sometimes prefers to be called "Newt", a reference to a character who appears in the second Alien movie.

On the same stage, a billboard with Dr. Venom's face on it can be seen in the background. Dr. Venom was the antagonist of the Gradius sequels for the MSX. Sparkster of the Rocket Knight Adventures appears, as a shadowy figure, in the Secret Ending of Shattered Soldier. The Rolling Duckers in Contra III were based on the walking Ducker cannons from Gradius.

Contra (Video Game) / int_1be7d298	comment	Easy-Mode Mockery: Contra III does not allow the player to fight the True Final Boss or see more than a black screen with text for an ending until completing the game on the hardest setting. The Japanese version does allow the player to fight the final boss on Normal, but only shows a partial version of the ending. Contra 4 also ends the game on Stage 7 on Easy mode, literally telling the player that they can't see the ending unless they beat it on Normal or Hard. In Contra ReBirth, the real Final Boss cannot be fought if the difficulty setting is on Easy. Players get the same initial ending regardless of the difficulty setting, but going the extra mile awards the player with a bonus ending.

Contra (Video Game) / int_40811c85	comment	We Will Use Lasers in the Future: It's the 27th century lasers (and in later years other energy weapons) have become an increasingly important part of the human arsenal as tankbusters and a great counter for especially tough units. This is especially prevalent in Contra Returns where most of the best weapons are energy weapons and many of the more exotic firearms had their physical bullets replaced with energy bolts when upgraded. One unique weapon, the Darkflame Machine Gun, even gets an upgrade where it can sporadically fire a Laser Cutter beam instead of its usual hail of bullets.

Contra (Video Game) / int_6a9475c1	comment	Dub Induced Plothole: Owing to European censorship, Hard Corp was drastically changed story-wise when it became Probotector. There were small changes that ultimately altered basically nothing (such as the main characters being robots), but the villains got greatly overhauled. Deadeye Joe is a cyborg working for Colonel Bahamut. While this remains consistent, he is now the Alien Commander (as Colonel Bahamut is now an alien). Following his appearance in stage 1, the Alien Commander completely drops out of the game and never reappears. Even though all of Deadeye Joe's boss fights are still in the game; the Alien Commander is apparently gone. He's even replaced in the train cutscene where he saves the main characters just to duel them later, except this time the Sky Police inexplicably show up and break the main character(s) out. Doctor Geo Mandrake also unceremoniously drops out of the game. Originally he appears in the end of Stage 1, and warns that the Research Center is being attacked. He also appears in Stage 2 stating he's glad you arrived. While this remains true, all of his subsequent appearances are removed. He is never revealed to be working with Colonel Bahamut, and the fight with the Monster Genesis Machine happens without him present. The fights against Doctor Spider and the Mach 777 still happen, but Doctor Spider's existence is never explained (you enter a room and he's there whereas before Dr Mandrake transformed into him), and the Mach 777 is an unmanned robot attacker. Colonel Bahamut is still the Big Bad and main Antagonist, but rarther than being a former world hero turned militant dictator, in Probotector he's an invading alien general. Most of his dialogue was entirely removed, and the Nonstandard Game Over where you can join him has been removed from the game.

This creates a minor Dub-Induced Plot Hole when Shin Contra Edge Han is released, and his name gets changed to Merle but, the voice lines remain unchanged, where he still refers to himself as Edge Han.

Contra (Video Game) / int_8df14c99	comment	In most games, when you have too many shots on screen to fire a full spread, the Spread Gun will instead fire partial spreads or single bullets to keep your firing rate consistent. It does not do this in Super C (arcade version only), turning the Spread Gun into an annoyance as you have to wait for your previous shots to clear the screen before you can fire again. The "upgrade" makes it worse: it fires five shots per spread instead of three, and your shots-on-screen are increased from nine to ten, which would be good in any other game, but here it means you can only have two spreads on screen instead of three. In the fast-paced One-Hit-Point Wonder world of Contra, this can be the difference between life and death.

The "upgrade" makes it worse: it fires five shots per spread instead of three, and your shots-on-screen are increased from nine to ten, which would be good in any other game, but here it means you can only have two spreads on screen instead of three. In the fast-paced One-Hit-Point Wonder world of Contra, this can be the difference between life and death. Laser in the NES games. One-Hit Polykill doesn't matter so much when enemies spawn from multiple angles, and One Bullet at a Time most certainly doesn't help either. This is in contrast to the arcade games, in which it fires a continuous beam with unlimited range.

Super Contra (which arcade version is known as Super Contra: Alien no Gyakushuunote Super Contra: The Alien Strikes Back) was shortened to Super C on the American NES, although the arcade version kept its full title outside Japan (but without the Japanese version's subtitle). Contra Force would've been known in Japan as Arc Hound had the Famicom version actually been released. Prior to Contra: Legacy of War, the series was known as Gryzor or Probotector in European languages, depending on the platform. Specifically, Gryzor was the title used for the first arcade game (the second game kept the Super Contra name) and the home computer ports released by Ocean Software, while Probotector was used for the console versions which replaced the human characters with robots.note Super C for the NES is known as Probotector II: Return of the Evil Forces, Contra III for the SNES is known as Super Probotector: Alien Rebels; but Operation C and Contra: Hard Corps are both simply titled Probotector. Contra: The Alien Wars for the Game Boy is simply titled Probotector 2.

Since the maze stages don't feature infinitely respawning enemies, the timer is a contrivance to keep the game from sitting in the same place (much like how the bosses in Gradius will eventually self-destruct just in case a player could find a safe spot and walk away from the arcade machine). As such, the NES version discards the timer, yet the Commodore 64 version is punitive, giving only forty and fifty-five seconds respectively. The last part of stage 6 in Neo Contra gives you even more punitive 30 seconds to complete. Afterwards, if the time runs out, the game will be over immediately even you have multiples of remaining lives!

Contra (Video Game) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Bill Rizer and Lance Bean themselves look like lawyer-friendly cameos or outright Expies of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone respectively. The Internet further highlighted this resemblance with videos like "Contra: The Movie" or what a Contra movie would look like if Hollywood made one in the 1980s. Contra ReBirth has several references to other Konami games. Chief Salamander and his Neo Salamander Force are named after the Konami game Salamander, with the Zelos Force being a reference to that game. Plissken, the alien lizardman, is possibly named after Iroquois Pliskin, Solid Snake's alias in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (which in turn is a reference to Snake Plissken, the anti-hero from Escape from New York). And the Shizuoka ruins that Stage 4 of the game takes place at is a reference to Silent Hill (Shizuoka means "silent hill" in Japanese). The aliens in the series are a homage to the Alien movies. Super C made the Excuse Plot in the manual look as if the Aliens from the movie invaded the Contra world, with Bill witnessing that a strange alien bursted out of the chest of the zombified soldier he just shot. The soundtrack for Alien Wars lists Stage 3's name as Neo Kobe Steel Factory. The level also ends with a fight against several skeletal robots resembling Snatchers (and Terminators by proxy). A boss in Hard Corps is a three part Combining Mecha and its battle theme is titled "GTR Attack", referencing Getter Robo.

Contra (Video Game) / int_e2c4b927	type	Dub Name Change
Contra (Video Game) / int_e2c4b927	comment	Dub Name Change: Bill Rizer and Lance Bean were renamed "Sgt. Bill 'Mad Dog' Ko" and "Corporal Lance 'Scorpion'" in the manuals for the NES versions. When the American version of Contra III kept the futuristic setting, their names were changed again to Jimbo and Sully and this time the manual claimed that they were the descendants of the original heroes. All four names were later used in Contra 4 ("Mad Dog" and "Scorpion" for the two "new" heroes, and "Jimbo" and "Sully" for the Contra III renditions of Bill and Lance). When Contra 4 was translated to Japanese, "Jimbo" and "Sully" became "Spirits Bill" and "Spirits Lance", likely since many Japanese players wouldn't had been that familiar with the name changes. The names of the enemy characters also differ depending on the manual. "Tsugu-Min" became "Brownie" in Contra ReBirth. Despite the similar name, she is a different character from the robot character in Contra: Hard Corps, whose name is "Browny". The bosses have different names in the Japanese release of Hard Corps: Uprising.

Contra (Video Game) / int_e4cf1ef0	type	Load-Bearing Boss
Contra (Video Game) / int_e4cf1ef0	comment	Load-Bearing Boss: The original Contra ends with the destruction of the alien heart, which causes the island the game took place on to explode in a spectacular fashion, with the heroes escaping by helicopter. The Amstrad CPC port, however, took this to downright sadistic levels by instead having the entire Earth explode and kill everyone after you take out the heart. Contra III: The Alien Wars has the alien lair explode after the final boss dies, with the heroes very narrowly making it out by helicopter as they race the explosion upwards. Contra: Hard Corps has this occur in nearly every ending, with the only exceptions being the We Can Rule Together Nonstandard Game Over and the secret ending: Rescue the research station, fight to the end: Destroying the Final Boss destroys the missile you were on for some reason, which ends up saving the world because said missile was carrying the Alien Cell which was going to be released into the atmosphere and kill off humanity. Rescue the research station, surrender and fight later: Killing Colonel Bahamut after he mutates out of control causes the fortress the battle took place in to blow up and collapse, but the hero(es) manage to get away. Chase Deadeye Joe, fight to the end: The alien lair is implied to be destroyed after the alien heart shattered, as the same flames from the above fortress ending appear as the protagonist(s) walks/walk off screen. Chase Deadeye Joe, surrender and fight later: Destroying Big Magnum destroys the space station it was on, which takes Colonel Bahamut and the hero(es) along with it. Once again happens at the end of Contra 4. Of course, destroying the brain of the now titanic Black Viper would end up destroying him completely. The fight took place in the beast's head, with the curvature of the Earth visible from the mouth opening. After a few flashes of white, the "room" vanishes completely, simply leaving just the helicopter the hero hangs onto and said view of the Earth.

Contra (Video Game) / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: The final boss in the arcade version of Super Contra, Emperor Devil Gava (a.k.a. the Red Falcon Commander himself), is based on Mad Emperor Asmodeus, the final boss of another Konami arcade game, Battlantis. Battlantis was directed by Hideyuki Tsujimoto, who was co-programmer in the original arcade version of Contra and later directed Super C, as well as Sunset Riders and Mystic Warriors. The alien form of Emperor Devil Gava is based on the Xenomorph Queen from the Alien franchise, especially in his first appearance in Super C. Compare Gava's head from Super Contra◊, and that of the Queen. Both give birth to the other aliens, and are their leaders.

"Mad Dog" and "Scorpion" use their names from the American manual of the original Contra and designs based on the arcade version of Super Contra. (Story-wise, they're also Retconned into being the protagonists of Operation C.) "Jimbo" and "Sully" use their names from the American manual of Contra III: The Alien Wars and designs from the same game. Finally, "Probotector" is based on the robots that replaced the human characters in the Bowdlerised European games.

The same cover artwork was remade for Contra Advance by none other than Ashley Wood. While not as well known, the promotional art for the original arcade games were traced over from imagery of Sylvester Stallone in Rambo: First Blood Part II. The cover art for Contra Spirits (the Japanese version of Contra III) is another trace over of Arnie, this time from the movie Raw Deal (1986).

Averted in the arcade version of the original game, in which the Rapid Bullets power-up is still in effect after changing weapons (presumably due to the fact there are only two Rapid Bullets power-ups in the entire game in that version and they can only be acquired when the player is wielding the default gun).
