• Critical Research Failure: In the first game, the description for the "Too Much Contra" achievement, obtained from entering the Konami Code, calls it "the level select code from Contra". Putting the Konami Code into Contra gives you thirty lives - it doesn't let you select a level.
• Ear Worm - Before you complete or give up, the mellow but persistent trumpeting will infect your skull.

• Suspiciously Similar Song: When you are talking to the King Hamster in the third game, the music playing is an instrumental version of "Rainy Day Women #12 and 35" (aka Everybody Must Get Stoned) by Bob Dylan.
