This may explain why the finished product is paradoxically both a sequel and a remake. Evidently, these plans did not hold any significance not only were no announcements made about a follow-up, but Contra 4: Redux received no publicity and was quietly released. The sequel/re-release was to feature many of the additions present in Contra 4: Redux. The original purpose of Contra 4: Redux ( see here) was a tie-in to a follow-up of Contra 4. There may have been plans for a direct sequel to, or a re-release of Contra 4. In turn, Contra III’s use of this name is in reference to the setting of Contra Force.

This is a reference to the North American release manual of Contra III, which makes mention of the same city. The name of the BGM for the City stage is Neo City. This is a reference to Operation C on the Game Boy, where the same kind of intermission screen is used. Concept sketches are shown in the museum, but the enemy was scrapped.ĭuring the intermission screen before each stage, your character runs across the bottom screen. Metal Alien, the Xenomorph rip-off from Super Contra on the arcade and Contra III: The Alien Wars, was planned to appear in Contra 4. Mad Dog and Scorpion’s attires pay homage to the attires of Bill and Lance’s sprites in the arcade version of Super Contra same with Jimbo and Sully’s alternate attires.Īdditionally, page 11 of the bonus Contra III comic depicts Bill uttering a familiar line: Game clear theme: Contra title screen & stage clear themesĮnding theme: Contra Jungle & Waterfall stage themes, Contra game over theme

Although it upgrades the player’s weapon powerups (so the code is only useful in the Normal and Hard modes) the first time it’s entered, it kills the player when inputted any additional time during the same level.Ĭontra 4 being almost entirely a fan compilation of a game, its musical score pays homage to its 8 and 16 bit predecessors.

CONTRA RETURNS SHEENA UPGRADE

The Konami code to upgrade guns can actually be detrimental to the player in this game. It works only on the Normal and Hard difficulty settings. Nearly 6 years later, in 2013, Issue 3 of Nintendo Force Magazine revealed that the Konami Code, when entered in a different way, grants the player 30 extra lives. The Konami Code was known only to upgrade the player’s weapons on the Normal and Hard difficulty settings the only known way to greatly increase the lives count was through a glitch ( see here).

In general, using this vehicle is not beneficial since the biggest threat in this stretch of the stage would be the vehicle itself, before being destroyed.įor the longest time, it was believed that Contra 4 had no cheat code to increase the number of lives. The track car mini-boss in the first stage can be controlled after it is disabled.
