CHEATS
The following codes can be used only in the Japanese version. They have been dummied out in the overseas counterparts; however, ROM hacks and patch codes have been created to make these codes work.
30 Lives: At the title screen, quickly press DOWN, DOWN+RIGHT, RIGHT, START. A confirmatory voice clip will be played. Since the code involves moving down the selections and hitting start, it should be performed 1 selection above the desired game mode.
Level Select Menu: At the title screen, quickly press DOWN, DOWN-LEFT, LEFT, UP-LEFT, UP, START while highlighting the desired game mode.
Alternatively, quickly press DOWN, DOWN-LEFT, LEFT, START while highlighting the selection above the desired game mode.
Sound Test Menu: At the title screen, quickly press RIGHT, RIGHT-DOWN, RIGHT, X.
GLITCHES
Level Skip: If the player gains a life just after they lose their last life, the screen will fade to black. However, instead of being taken to the Game Over screen, the player will be shown the Level Clear screen, as if they completed the level.
This is because the function that is used to handle the appearance of the Game Over screen is also used for the Level Clear screen after completing a level. What determines whether either screen will be displayed is the player’s remaining lives. Therefore, if the player gains a life as the screen is fading to black, after having lost their last life, the game will check that the remaining lives count is above 0 and proceed to the Level Clear screen, under the assumption that the fade-out was due to defeating the level’s boss.
This glitch is extremely difficult to trigger. The methods requires either a lot of knowledge on the game’s points system, heavy memorization, or heavy guesswork. Ultimately, having predicted when the next defeated enemy will grant an extra life, the player loses their last life immediately after setting off a Bomb. The Bomb will destroy the enemy and grant the player the extra life, triggering the glitch. Note that the use of this glitch on the final stage skips the entire ending sequence, taking the player to the final score screen.
Brain Boss Hitbox Glitch: In the rolling rock phase of the brain boss battle (Normal and Hard difficulties only), the player can lay prone in 2 spots on the screen where they won’t get hit by the rocks, despite them rolling over the player. The first spot, which is the easiest to stay in, is to the far left side of the screen. The second spot, which is more difficult, is immediately next to the brain. Both safe spots, especially the former, make this phase much easier to survive. The latter spot is a favorite among speedrunners as they can inflict significantly more damage in a single round compared to the other phases.
Easy Brain Boss Battle: The coding of the Brain may be glitched. If the player lets the boss battle last a long time, selecting phases without damaging the boss, damage seems to be registered passively. This is evident as the enemy seems to be defeated with much fewer hits in this situation.

Super Contra is an arcade game developed and published by Konami in 1988, also ported for Nintendo Entertainment in 1990
This installment is a sequel to the legendary Contra (1987) and the story continues the missions of Bill and Lance. In this case they must stop the alien force that attacked an allied base and possessed all its occupants, which puts the protagonists in the dilemma of not just fighting against aliens, but also their compatriots.
From the first level you can already feel the essence of the classic Contra, with a very imposing music and a shattered background as a result of the extraterrestrial attack. In addition, the adventure received a great improvement in the fluidity of the controls, so there are many more comforts than in its predecessor.
Then, all the elements of the classic title are present: variety of weapons, enemies and, some 3D levels or with another perspective and the possibility of playing it in a cooperative way between two players. All these components help players to forget the story and to keep the shoot button pressed and to go through the horde of enemies by firing at everything they see.
This installation received positive reviews and was even ranked 9th on the list of the best arcade games of all time by Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine.
In short, although this game has hardly changed from its famous big brother, it maintains all the components that put the saga in history. On the other hand, the fact that it is a little easier is a good opportunity to add new followers to the saga.
Melancholic for fans and tempting for neophytes, Super Contra is a game that no matter when you try it, its main goal will be always fulfilled: to entertain.
