Honestly, this hack was "given to me for the New Year" with the phrase: "Have a nice New New Year and have fun for Super Contra 2."

The cartridges are pirated, and we played this. But the point is not that, but that it is playable, but the level Design MAKES you suffer in this game. An example of this is even: 1 level. Excuse me, how am I supposed to figure out where I need to go and where I don't? There is crooked water all around, with the possibility of falling into a pit.

Bugs, maybe I was lucky - I didn't meet with any. They say they are, but - I met only a bad Level Design and strange bosses.

In the pros of the hack, I will highlight level 2 and 4. It looks unusual and interesting, as well... no, the hack was obviously done in a hurry. Quality - it is not visible.

This hack is horrible! I will analyze every level in separate points:

1) the first level will make you understand how buggy is this hack, in fact there are: water point in that you cannot swim, too many enemies, if you die you may spawn on an invisible and buggy platform, at a certain point you will destroy a turret but it will re spawn one second later, the boss is almost the same the only difference is that there are two soldiers on the building.

2) the level design of this level is horrible, there are objects that you think that you must destroy but this is false, only few objects can be destroyed to finish the level, there is also an object to destroy to pass the level but this object is invisible, if you have done the first level without cheat let my tell you that the other levels are impossible to overcome without cheat, like the boss of this level that is the same of the original but there are a lot more turret and a lot of them are impossible to hit. (really a great work....)

3) at this point you should have notice that is game seems to have been programmed by a monkey paraplegic affected of seizures so let me present you this level: in this level we have too many turrets, invisible platforms, a horrible design and for joy of we that are playing this hack three bosses! Or better three equal bosses at the same time. This boss is impossible to beat because his arms are on the ground and you can not jump over this arm because on the other side there is another arm, so you will think that you must stay on the left side but this arm will move left and it will hit you. The only way to beat the boss is to shot (losing all of your lives) the four arms and then you must shot the central head of the alien that will explode making explode also half of the faces of the other aliens (OK......)

4) This is the only good level of the hack, the only problem is that there is an object to destroy that require to do a perfect jump but is not a great problem, the boss is also pretty simple.

5)This level is more or less good, there are trucks used as background (cool) and behind these trucks there are the soldiers that throw you grenades (also cool) but there are two problems: some enemies fly over the screen and there is a truck that you will make explode but it will continue to go straight and guess what: it will hit you.

6) & 7) These levels are pretty difficult but there are a lot of B-suite that will help you to beat the levels, at the end of the 6th level there is a troll, in fact there are some turrets with the boss but these turrets cannot shoot. The only problem of the 7th level is that there are two difficult jumps to do, in one you must to a long jump with a perfect timing and in the other you must jump from the end of the platform because there is a wall over you that will stop you to jump, the last problem is that at the end of the level the creator switch the boss icon putting it higher but for destroy it you must shoot in the same place f the original game.

8)The last level combine all flaws of the previous levels eliminating all merits, so we will have: too many enemies, invisible platforms, buggy platforms, point impossible to overcome, enemies that fly on the screen and.... (drumroll) the credits bugged because they will show you the name of the programmer two times after a flash. My vote for this hack is 1.5/5

I played this hack with my friend through NetPlay with VirtuaNES, we laugh a lot, we like the level design because is so different than the original Contra Design and we face this patch like a Kaizo Version, we just beat it with Save States (otherwise, we will never be able to beat it) and we enjoyed any second playing.

I read the comments below, I agree with these guys, but this hack don't have intention to mimic the original contra experience, the creator obviously want to troll the people who is playing for them fun, and is better if you won't plays so serious with details of the original, and get some friend to play with you, face it like a challenge!

(I'm not fluently in English, English is not my native language)

You do not start with 5 lives in this hack as the description said. The Konami Code has been disabled (I have no idea why, this is already Contra and you made it harder. Honestly.)

I was excited by the screenshots for a new Contra experience... When I started falling through the water (in which you can't jump) to my death through invisible pits, I called it quits.

Maybe if you use a game genie or something it would be enjoyable but this game simply isn't finished. It's a buggy mess.

I'll start off by saying: disregard what Luigi Lightning has posted. He is of course, entitled to his opinion, but judging by his review, he probably didn't make it past the first level. I will agree with his complaint of the first level. (Which he didn't specify it's the first level) It's very confusing where you can land in the water and such. Just trudge through the first level and the rest of the game is fine. Very rarely I felt I was cheated on a death.

That being said, I've only just indulged in hacked roms, and haven't tried many. But, coming from someone who can easily walk through the original Contra with no deaths or spread gun, this was really fun to get my ass handed to me! It's definitely worth a try, and I really appreciate the creators time in making this. Thanks!

This is a pathetic excuse for a hack of the amazing, iconic game known as Contra! I feel like my IQ level drops every time I play it, and feel extreme trauma from the level design!

For some reason, the creator thought it would be creative to make it so things in the stages, with a certain function, did the function of another thing! For some reason, some random grass patches will explode under you like a bridge in the original game! There are also some water patches which will allow you to swim, and others which won't! That's confusing and inconsistent! I'm not even joking, there is one part where you have to stand on open air!!!

That sort of thing is not creative! That's the very bottom of the line of creativity, and almost seems like this guy had such a lack of inventiveness, that he changed everything that we know and are familiar with in Contra!!!

Then there's also dumb factors like underestimating us as a player; he gives us 7 lives, and even gives us more continues. I generally don't like it when hacks give you more resources, but lives are one thing; continues, I'm NEVER okay with! Not to mention you keep the weapon you had...

The levels are also not well designed, and 99% of the time, I feel like a death is not my fault, but because of cheapness. I've seen a lot crap on this sight, but this one is so bad, it's almost laughable!

If you want to see a Contra hack done right, check out Trax's Revenge of the Red Falcon. It hasn't been officially released yet, but it's infinitely better than this garbage...
