Stage 4 - No Escape (also for stage 7 in NES version).Soundtrack Main article: Music from Super Contra & A-Jax Gameranking gave the re-released Arcade version of the game a score of 60.55%. IGN rated the arcade version re-release on Xbox 360 5.7/10, but they gave the NES version re-release on Wii a more favorable score of 7.5/10. The sequel to the first Contra gained popularity among many reviewers however, the game was reviewed less favorably. The soundtrack has been updated too, featuring seven unique themes for the levels (area 4 and 7 share the same one), and it resembles the actual arcade soundtrack more than Contra did. The Spread Gun bullets appear bigger than the ones in Contra, and certain enemies also throw grenades at the player.Ī unique feature in this game is a top-down view employed in the second and sixth levels, which serves as a replacement for the third-person view seen in two levels in Contra. Other differences are that gameplay appears to be slightly bigger than in Contra, Bill's pants are slightly more turquoise in color (so is Player 1's life counter) and the Flamethrower has been replaced by a different weapon, firing huge balls of fire instead of a continuous stream of small fireballs. The gameplay remains largely similar to Contra, the main difference being that the soldier sprites have been replaced with green (pink in levels 3 and 5) versions simply running toward the player, and red ones occasionally firing a pistol. After his demise, Bill and Lance escape from the area in a helicopter. The final boss in this game is Kimkoh, who comes out from an earthquake at the end of the level. It's very similar to the final level in Contra, with many purple faces spitting bugs at you, swarms of aliens lurking at you (not Buggers, different, humanoid ones). By destroying a skeleton boss, similar to the third boss of Contra, you go to the final level - Red Falcon's Poison Palace. This level also marks the reappearance of Buggers, who appear much smaller here. The main enemies in this level are skeleton-like soldier aliens, possibly those are skeletons of soldiers who were killed by the Red Falcon. The 7th level is a continuation to the alien base, it's made up mostly of dead alien eggs. After passing multiple difficult corridors, you have to battle a mini-boss, and then take out Gava himself. This is the last time you see the default soldiers either. Instead of fighting the usual soldiers, you battle spider-like aliens. Here, the boss battled is an alien mothership shooting skulls and small bugs at you. This one you have to climb up too, there are some military complexes by the end. After defeating the boss of this area, a machine shooting multiple laser beams, you can go to the mountain area, the fifth zone. Later on, the next level is a green in color high-tech base, which you need to climb up. The third level is a jungle level, reminiscent of the first level of Contra, though later on it changes into an earthquake possessed area (with a wall that comes out of an earthquake as the boss). Only the top driver needs to be taken out in order to go further though). The levels on this port are an abandoned city complex (with an Army Helicopter as the boss), standing before Fort Firestorm, that appears as the second level (boss - tank with three drivers. The original arcade version features less levels, and the game ends with a final fight against Emperor Demon Gava. Bill and Lance must not only fight against their former comrades-in-arms, but also newly mutated forms of the same alien creatures they fought during their previous mission, as well as new alien monstrosities they may encounter along the way. This time, the alien forces have taken over an allied military base somewhere in South America, possessing most of its troops.
