I finished Contra 4 in normal difficulty and thought it was one of the most difficult games I've beaten. Player on the video doesn't even bother using the second gun slot or ever collecting super homing missiles on hard difficulty and still beats it without taking a single hit. Platformer prodigy.
I totally loved the last boss, Black Viper, and how you kill run through his insides and kill him from the center of his head. I also liked how most levels are remakes from previous Contra adventures and how they justify the connection between them and their reason to exist. Loved this longplay, hope to see more like this in the future. :D
Boss 1: Defense Wall 6:28 Boss 2: Giant Alien Squid 13:11 Boss 3: Holograph Head 16:17 Boss 4: Giant Green Robot21:53 Boss 5: Giant Mutant Fish 25:50 Boss 6: Giant Skeleton Robot 29:57 Boss 7: Giant Mutant Tick 35:58 Boss 8: Red Alien Heart39:58 Boss 9: Alien Praying Mantis 40:54 Final Boss: Giant Alien Praying Mantis's Brain 47:21
Ending in normal difficulty is different if I remember is peoples who hide shelters or somewhere will celebrate Bill and Lance after defeat final boss.
Man, this game is brutal. I love games like this, where they KNOW they're games and aren't afraid to get utterly ridiculous for the sake of entertaining button smashing.
Stage 2 Inside of Laboratory I've Using Level 2 Machine Gun Against Zombies to Crossing on Waterfall and Equipped Level 2 Homing Missiles to Reaching Boss and Use Machine Guns Against Him
Ramiro1992 (Mr_X) Except I didn't, it was on normal and I unlocked the 2 NES Contra games and extra characters. Normal isn't impossible, though hard comes close. Also, who seriously does easy for a Contra game?
mitu123Copper I don't believe you a single word, i can say that i finished ghost n goblins without dying it sounds as ridiculous as your argument, you finished it on normal? prove it!
Ramiro1992 (Mr_X) Ha, ha, what? Normal isn't even impossible dude, it does take skill which I have, I mean I no death the 1st 2 NES Contra games on my youtube channel. In the future I may do Contra 4 again but record it. Also Ghost N Golbins is doable without dying but it's near impossible so a few deaths is more reasonable. I know it's hard to believe that there are people that skilled out there but they exist.=p
mitu123Copper you are not skilled, you are a noob, true skilled players don't talk like that, i don't go to other channels talking about the hard games i finished and i know what a hard game is and i finished some of the hardest games, but contra 4 is beyond hard, if you say contra 4 is not hard it shows how a liar you are because every sane person will say that contra 4 is near impossible. and not only the hardest contra ever made but also one of the hardest games ever made, i don't believe you are among the 10% of people who are that skilled
And lemme tell ya, this is the hardest one I ever faced. Even on Easy difficulty I can't seem to go much further in Stage 4 until frustration kicks in and I decide to give up (again!). It was great having the opportunity to see all the magnificence this game has to offer beyond that point. I'm happy to see all the production value this game had. I only wish they would have given this kind of treatement to the CastleVania series, although with that we got three games for the DS.
I remember, back in the day I could beat Contra III: The Alien Wars on Hard difficulty and in a single life, not bragging, it's just that if you died once and lost your weapon then you were screwed for the most part. :P Contra and Super C (NES versions) are very easy to beat in one life. Contra: Hard Corps was awesome too and had like nine endings. I've played almost all Contra games and almost all their different ports (PC, Amiga, NES, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, GB Advance, PlayStation, etc.).
I have just beaten Contra 4 on hard mode a few minutes earlier. Believe it or not, I was expecting to unlock Contra 3. Oh well. At least it was a challenging, yet great game. You don't know how rewarding it feels to hear both the final victory and end credits song.
@dercetto solamente en el nivel 1, en dificultad dura (hard mode). en facil y normal te da el mismo instrumental, igual que en todos los demas niveles.
this is actually a tool assisted longplay, it's obvious that if it was a person will use other kind of strategies and weapons, also the movements are too precise. This game is not too hard, i made it to the stage 8 and i am getting good at this
@rodneybrett I'm guessing whoever made this doesn't really have mad skillz, but has an emulator with a rewind feature. Most decent Contra players would have blown through the bosses much faster, and there doesn't really seem to be any strategy to weapon selection / switching.
Extended(improved)spray gun is ridiculously mighty,also the main bosses are not strong enough, I would like faster and much more enemy bullets,then will see real player's reflexes, those are my observations about this game! Otherwise, in general, this is a greatly designed game!
@Gorkon: That's exactly what gives me extra trouble. Same thing with Space Invaders Extreme. I'm fine on the PSP, but the DS version has it's extra share of difficulty due to dual screens.
Stage 4 It is Too Difficult To Defeating Two Mini Bosses Because they are Faster 1 I need Homing Missiles Against Submarine 2 Equipped Level 2 Laser Against Robot in The Rocket 3 Equipped Laser Again on Big Robot Boss to Easier to Defeat Him
Considering Konami's going to just mobile stuff now, I think it's kinda time this game got its spiritual successor. I mean there's Mighty No.9, Bloodstained, and Yooka-Laylee, Contra's earned one I think.
Stage 7 Two Mini Bosses are Tough 1 Equipped Laser and Homing Missiles Against The Tank 2 Using Laser on Mechanical Spider 3 While on Climbing at Antennas Equipped Homing Missiles Again to Shoot The Flying Monsters to Getting in your Way at Colossus Insect Boss
As much as i tried i never could get used to the dual screen thing. I keep getting killed by enemies on one screen or the other, barely made it to the second stage a couple of times.
Stage 8 This is Getting Too Difficult to Reaching Heart Boss You need Homing Missiles in This Whole Room of Alien Hive and Use Laser or Machine Gun Against Heart Boss
Great game with really nice updated graphics, but what's up with the ugly color banding on the background sky graphics?! I hated when they did that on the old consoles. The DS is more than capable of doing a blending effect or a more natural look.
Stage 9 The Aliens Become More Tougher and Extremely Dangerous While in The Aliens Laboratory The Boss in The Ceiling Capsule I needed Machine Guns or Lasers Against Insect Alien Boss and Going Inside on Alien I used Homing Missiles Against Aliens to Reaching on Red Falcon Boss and Equipped Machine Gun or Laser Against Final Boss
Stage 5 Using Homing Missiles on Piranhas and Then Lasers on Two Serpents After Defeating Piranha and Serpents Using Homing Missiles Again at Flying Robots and Diving Robots and Equipped Machine Gun on Robot Captain so The Robot Ship is Destroyed However The Giant Piranha Boss is Approaching You Have to Defeat him Use Homing Missiles Again Against him
contra series was almostt he perfect game.. if only you had a life bar, even if it was like 3 hits and your dead, but the 1 hit and done thing really sucks.. but that said it still isa great series !! and that does add a certain challenge to it
i stopped following emulators when the ps2 one didnt work, but now theres ds emulators???????? i heard u can put those tiny memorycards into a cartridge adaptor and run roms off of that on the ds too.....dammmit man do you ever DIE?!?!?!?!?!
contra 4 to wielki szajs... :( nigdy ta wersja niedorozwinieta nie dorowna contrze 3 na SNES'a. Zapewne zawsze juz bedzie grali w takie szajsy fanatycy Contry bo juz nie bedzie lepsza :(

I love how Bill can survive re-entry without a spacesuit, but some god forbid a bullet flies just past his head.
Welcome to Contra lol
Giant Alien Praying Mantis's Head.
NOTHING better than playing this on my DSI-XL. Was MADE for great games like this. Legendary run too, Baby! You got skills. 💜💜👌💜💜
I find it an insult that Konami has not put this game in the Anniversary Edition.
They didn't put also the rest of the games too
Este Longplay es tan viejo que para cuando se publicó a este Juego se le podía decir Nuevo xd que pieza de historia es este canal
I totally loved the last boss, Black Viper, and how you kill run through his insides and kill him from the center of his head. I also liked how most levels are remakes from previous Contra adventures and how they justify the connection between them and their reason to exist.
Loved this longplay, hope to see more like this in the future. :D
Actually, black viper is female.
Look up on contra wikipedia.
Wait, She's A Giant Alien Praying Mantis?
I picked up this game at a GameStop. Best purchase I ever made.
That blind spot between the screens must have been tense.
I hope this game gets re-released on the Wii U Virtual Console.
I really loved this Contra Title! Was such a GREAT revival :'}
20th anniversary of Contra series
Perhaps the most badass and manliest game ever made on the face of the Earth.
Shame on you, modern-day FPSs !

Thank you for adding the spaced between top and bottom screens. Other channels merge the pictures which is not accurate.
0:09 esa pequeña intro... Sigue siendo tan epica como el primer día 🔥
Ending in normal difficulty is different if I remember is peoples who hide shelters or somewhere will celebrate Bill and Lance after defeat final boss.

Stage 2 Inside of Laboratory I've Using Level 2 Machine Gun Against Zombies to Crossing on Waterfall and Equipped Level 2 Homing Missiles to Reaching Boss and Use Machine Guns Against Him
When i fought the final boss it was weird logic for him to have a spare brain laying around
You gotta be the only person in the world that likes "Laser" powerup.
Since 2009 I've Finished This Game Using Level 2 Weapons Including Homing Missiles Lasers and Machine Guns
This was the 1st Contra I beaten...then I went on to beat Contra 1, Super C, Contra 3(Normal and Hard) and Contra Hard Corps.
+mitu123Copper you beat it on easy, it's almost impossible to beat it in normal without cheating or saving
Ramiro1992 (Mr_X) Except I didn't, it was on normal and I unlocked the 2 NES Contra games and extra characters. Normal isn't impossible, though hard comes close. Also, who seriously does easy for a Contra game?

I know how difficult I find this game on easy, so this is like watching the Zinedine Zidane of run and guns
And lemme tell ya, this is the hardest one I ever faced. Even on Easy difficulty I can't seem to go much further in Stage 4 until frustration kicks in and I decide to give up (again!).

I've played almost all Contra games and almost all their different ports (PC, Amiga, NES, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, GB Advance, PlayStation, etc.).
Just ordered this game. So excited to play it.
I'm watching for 16:59 onwards, the music and level is so awesome.
I have just beaten Contra 4 on hard mode a few minutes earlier. Believe it or not, I was expecting to unlock Contra 3. Oh well. At least it was a challenging, yet great game. You don't know how rewarding it feels to hear both the final victory and end credits song.
@dercetto solamente en el nivel 1, en dificultad dura (hard mode). en facil y normal te da el mismo instrumental, igual que en todos los demas niveles.
damn, dude. You've got some mad skillz
I can't even completed Normal mode, then I saw this video. This guy is something, I wish I have skill like this.

That has to be the best helicopter and pilot in the world. lol

Stage 4 It is Too Difficult To Defeating Two Mini Bosses Because they are Faster
1 I need Homing Missiles Against Submarine
2 Equipped Level 2 Laser Against Robot in The Rocket
3 Equipped Laser Again on Big Robot Boss to Easier to Defeat Him
Considering Konami's going to just mobile stuff now, I think it's kinda time this game got its spiritual successor. I mean there's Mighty No.9, Bloodstained, and Yooka-Laylee, Contra's earned one I think.
What about Super Cyborg or Blazing Chrome?
46:54 Beware The Giant Alien Praying Mantis's Stomach Acid!
Stage 7 Two Mini Bosses are Tough
1 Equipped Laser and Homing Missiles Against The Tank
2 Using Laser on Mechanical Spider
3 While on Climbing at Antennas Equipped Homing Missiles Again to Shoot The Flying Monsters to Getting in your Way at Colossus Insect Boss
In December 10 2009
Nice, DS playthrough of this: one of the toughest games out.
As much as i tried i never could get used to the dual screen thing. I keep getting killed by enemies on one screen or the other, barely made it to the second stage a couple of times.
they just mix-up the contra games from 1-3 and some new stages
That's pretty much true for this game.
Stage 3 I've Equipped Homing Missiles to easier to Crossing on Stage 4
Im a master at this game,I'd have to say though this is one of the easieast contras I think i've ever played,and i've played em all.
I like the full screen look on my phone
Stage 8 This is Getting Too Difficult to Reaching Heart Boss You need Homing Missiles in This Whole Room of Alien Hive and Use Laser or Machine Gun Against Heart Boss
Stage 1 I've Defeat Walled Laser Boss Using Machine Guns and Homing Missiles Against him
Great game with really nice updated graphics, but what's up with the ugly color banding on the background sky graphics?! I hated when they did that on the old consoles. The DS is more than capable of doing a blending effect or a more natural look.
@cubex55 That's the advantage of emulation - you can always rewind.
Stage 6 Equipped Homing Missiles in All Rooms in Factory and Use Laser Against Undead Robot Boss
y'know... for such a large creature, the final boss has quite a small brain
Is A Large Alien Praying Mantis Creature
Nice runs!
Stage 9 The Aliens Become More Tougher and Extremely Dangerous While in The Aliens Laboratory The Boss in The Ceiling Capsule I needed Machine Guns or Lasers Against Insect Alien Boss and Going Inside on Alien I used Homing Missiles Against Aliens to Reaching on Red Falcon Boss and Equipped Machine Gun or Laser Against Final Boss
CONTRA 4
Contra is only 8 levels
y not make another one :(
49:04 Victory!
Stage 5 Using Homing Missiles on Piranhas and Then Lasers on Two Serpents After Defeating Piranha and Serpents Using Homing Missiles Again at Flying Robots and Diving Robots and Equipped Machine Gun on Robot Captain so The Robot Ship is Destroyed However The Giant Piranha Boss is Approaching You Have to Defeat him Use Homing Missiles Again Against him
41:48 Is Going to keep transforming into A Giant Alien Praying Mantis
41:37 When Defeats He Turns Into A Giant Alien Praying Mantis.
This game is too damn hard. I use the Hard Mode and all i can reach is Stage 3 only lol
Like si pusiste el juego en modo facil
can you wifi with player 2?
In Contra 4 (2007)
Damn, I was wondering why Dragon Quest IV lagged.
Thank you for not fucking talking
contra series was almostt he perfect game.. if only you had a life bar, even if it was like 3 hits and your dead, but the 1 hit and done thing really sucks.. but that said it still isa great series !! and that does add a certain challenge to it
the japanese version of some contras had that, and the first one had cut scenes and radio communication.
@Martinezinc yea
well. video isn't loading. Tried 3 times after watching the stupid Sprint ad. Thumbs down.
+Joey G lol ad? ads are a thing of the past
use ad block
Ramiro Tello uBlock Origin for chrome or firefox its way better and it uses less resources.
