History Fridge / Contra

* Dr. Mandrake did have planned Lucia during ''Hard Corps'' prior to [[DevelopmentHell his assassination]]. This could be, however, SavedFromDevelopmentHell by a government organization being capable enough to finish her before getting introduced to ''Contra: Shattered Soldier''. [[LampshadeHanging No one really knows]].

* The bonus ending in ''Hard Corps''. Being the new proto-human monarch is exciting, but what about those you left behind in the present? Well, they're at the mercy of Colonel Bahamut and the Alien Cell now that you're not there to stop him. Depending on how the time travel rules go in this game, there's no telling if your new human race and history will replace the present (and be either better or worse), or if it diverts to a new timeline, the old timeline will still be screwed by Bahamut with your absence.

* Two of the most prominent recurring villains are Gomeramos King and Emperor Demon Gava. One is basically a giant alien heart, and the other is known for having a prominent exposed brain, often as a weakspot (with said brain even attacking you in ''III''). This makes them ''literally'' the heart and the brains of the operation.

* So I just finished [[spoiler: [[MultipleEndings Missile Ending]]]] of ''Contra: Hard Corps'' and I realized something about the FinalBoss ([[http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/gDDJzzcIq2g/hqdefault.jpg this thing]]): those faces seems [[UncannyValley pretty human]], even the one in the second part that shoots worms at you. That's when I remembered [[MultipleEndings the other Ending]] where you fight [[spoiler: Colonel Bahamut [[OneWingedAngel when he fused with the Alien Cell. Said Cell ended up overtaking him and mutating him to gigantic size]].]] That's when realization hit: [[spoiler: Bahamut must've shoved some of [[RedShirtArmy his own men]] into the Missile with the [[ArtifactOfDoom Alien Cell]]!]]
