Game Description
Super C, the 1990 NES sequel to the iconic Contra, reunites elite commandos Bill Rizer and Lance Bean as they confront a renewed alien threat led by the sinister Red Falcon. This high-octane run-and-gun adventure combines intense side-scrolling action with innovative top-down stages, challenging players to navigate treacherous terrains, from war-torn cities to alien-infested strongholds. Armed with an arsenal of powerful weapons and facing relentless foes, players must utilize quick reflexes and strategic firepower to thwart the extraterrestrial menace and save humanity.
Gameplay Features
- Eight diverse stages blending side-scrolling and overhead perspectives for varied combat scenarios.
- An array of weapon power-ups, including the fan-favorite Spread Gun and the formidable Flame Cannon.
- Two-player cooperative mode, allowing simultaneous play for double the firepower.
- Unique boss battles, from heavily armed helicopters to grotesque alien monstrosities.
- Distinctive level designs featuring diagonal scrolling and vertically ascending challenges.
Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Unlike its predecessor, Super C did not feature the famous Konami Code for 30 lives. Instead, players could input a different code—Right, Left, Down, Up, A, B, Start—to receive 10 extra lives, adding an extra layer of challenge for veterans of the series. Known in Japan as "Super Contra," the NES version made notable changes from the arcade release, including unique stage designs and altered enemy patterns. As part of the legendary Contra series, Super C helped solidify Konami's dominance in the run-and-gun genre and remains a cornerstone title in any serious NES collection.
