help Super Contra FAQ
What is different about the top-down stages in Super Contra?
Super Contra alternates side-scrolling run-and-gun stages with overhead levels viewed from above. These replace the behind-the-character base corridors from the first Contra and allow movement and firing across the full screen.
Are Bill Rizer and Lance Bean playable in Super Contra?
Yes. Bill and Lance return as the two commandos fighting another alien invasion connected to Red Falcon. The arcade release supports simultaneous two-player action, which is central to the series' cooperative appeal.
Is Super C on NES the same game as Super Contra?
Super C is the Nintendo Entertainment System adaptation of Super Contra, but it is not an exact arcade conversion. Konami changed stage layouts, graphics, enemy placement, and other details to suit the home hardware.
Does the famous 30-lives Konami Code work in Super C?
The exact original Contra input is not used in the same way in Super C. The North American NES release has its own code that grants 10 lives, while regional versions and later collections can behave differently.
