3 | * Completing the original ''Contra'' without the use of the KonamiCode. Now '''that''' has to be a reward to an experienced gamer. |
4 | ** For bonus points, [[SelfImposedChallenge try fighting]] [[FinalBoss Red Falcon]] [[NintendoHard with only three lives]]. |
5 | * ''Contra III'''s Stage 4 consists of a BattleshipRaid against [[BigBad Red Falcon]]'s gigantic airship. How is this Stage awesome? When you attack the airship's core, your helicopter launches [[MacrossMissileMassacre a series of missiles]] with you climbing on top of each missile as you attack the core. |
6 | ** The final stage is a BossRush of six or ''seven'' bosses (depending on the difficulty level), with half of them being [[CallBack the final bosses from the previous games]]. [[NintendoHard Hard as Hell]], yes, but '''''awesome'''''. |
7 | * [[OneHundredPercentCompletion Getting an S rank]] in ''Shattered Soldier'' and ''Neo'' awards you with these two SugarWiki/{{Funny|Moments}} videos: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrJ7zWGI9MI this]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RCmbIwizjY&feature=related this]]. |
8 | ** Let's not forget that the latter video has Jaguar taking down hordes of enemies then destroying a giant robot that ''[[EarthShatteringKaboom literally causes the entire Earth to explode]]''. Complete with a ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''-like finisher. |
9 | * The final battle with the [[ArtifactOfDoom Relic of Morai]] in ''Shattered Soldier'' and the final battle with [[EldritchAbomination Master Contra]] in ''Neo Contra''. |
10 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEqu2ITiOPI The entire intro]] to ''Neo Contra''. Cutting a plane in half without budging, killing dozens of enemies, riding missiles & dinosaurs, and killing giant robots with the power of teamwork? ''[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Hell yes.]]'' |
11 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6uNJdhdJQU This]] remake of ''Shattered Soldier'' intro. |
12 | * Having Contra music composer Hidenori Maezawa hear and appreciate the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ykbfrf5uXY metal version]] of the Contra Jungle theme by [=VertexGuy=] for the first time feels like a major achievement in and of itself. The composer himself said this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5JlGQ5orL8 version]] is what he had imagined when he was creating the music. |
