You only get the proper ending if you complete it on the hardest difficulty setting. A friend of mine and I managed this (eventually) back in the day but it took several attempts!
@@geovani60624 It's interesting, how much of a different meaning, the word "Demo" meant, back then. Imagine what a kid would think about those old demos, now days. Example: Kid walks away from the game, while at the title screen. The kid comes back with snacks, and see's the game playing its self. Kid freaks out and thinks his room is haunted.
Dunno, game is hard but not THAT hard. It's about memorization. Unlike Contra Hard Corps, which is memorization PLUS good reflexes (because of how fast that game is).

Pleeeease do more of these drunk let's play videos!! They're SO entertaining to watch, it really feels like watching one of your friends showing off that they still can play like a bad ass in spite being drunk lol!
It's probably something like 積極的に戦おう which sounds fine in Japanese but translating 〜しょう/おう to "Let's" makes it sound like an educational children's TV program instantly
C3 gives me that true arcade approach - the game you're playing is so challenging, yet you know it's not impossible so you keep coming back for more. Tremendous SNES visuals & audio, it's Contra NES on steroids. I still can't defeat the missile/rocket boss fml.
I've been watching these videos for years but had missed this one somehow. You are absolutely adorable and delightful, and made me remember how much I loved this game.
@@dude_8434 I DO have the original SNES version of _Super Probotector: Alien Rebels_ (which is what it was originally called in PAL regions) and the manual calls it the Crush-Gun. I have just this moment looked at the manual online for the game under its original _Contra III_ title and even that calls the same weapon a Crush-Gun.
I'm a big fan of your reviews and respect your work in the subreddit. With that said, this is one of my favorite games ever, and this is my favorite review you ever done. I usually don't like "let's play" videos. But this is my favorite review of yours. It captures exactly why the game is so awesome, and then, your reason to just play the darn thing is fantastic. I also love Stage 3, and it is also one of my favorite stages ever, especially with a second player. Keep up the good work SNESDRUNK!
I have watched dozens of your videos, and this is the first one where you were drunk (or at least admitted it). "H" = homing missle. Also, you should have switched to your other spot, so you could keep spread, and have homing missles, the two best weapons in the game.
Fun video. I always enjoy watching other people who love this game play it. Two things I noticed in your gameplay. One: The rockets that "Always kill you" before the Tri-Transforming Wall Walker? Just shoot them. Just shoot directly down. They'll never hit you. Two, you can hold R to root your character, which lets you shoot on the diagonal without moving.
We sir, are brothers. I drink, I play SNES and NES and Genesis. Your conversations with yourself are pretty much the things my dreams are made of. They are what I say, far too often. Good luck, good sir!
SocialdDem I don't. It's easy to be nostalgic for what you did as a child, or even just being a child, but honestly being an adult is waaaaaaay friggin better.
You are a good person sir. You're very confident in who you are. As someone who is learning, i appreciate the inadvertent exposure to it, via your videos. 😎🤟🤘
"Corporate wants you to find the difference between this two pictures" *shows picture of spinning bar miniboss and wall climber miniboss* "They're the same picture"
Takin it too the streets. Hahaha. I feel like I come back to this playthru every year or so. I just realized this is my newer account so I haven’t watched some of the deep cuts on this profile
In the Japanese version, the guy doesn't want to attack aggressively, he says what amounts to "Lets get those bastards!" Couldn't get that line in the US with NOA at that time though.
I loved playing Easy 3 lives and continuing on until I ran out of continues. I made it to the end boss on Hard but could never beat him that final time! Love this game!
It's the same game but the robots looked SO much better in the Euro version. I mean it looked like so little effort was put into those two dudes at the start when compared to the Masamune Shirow style robots in Probotector.
Love this game tons of nostalgia. First game I ever played actually when i was like 5 or 6. Never could get past the wall climbing boss robot thing though.
This is my favorite game of all time.. As a kid I used to pause the game and listen to the music. I recently downloaded the soundtrack to level 3.its a tough game, especially for kids but exciting and rewarding. I still play it on my phone to this day
Was this commonly used an in-store demo at like Target? I remember being amazed by something that let you hop into a tank in the early nineties. Was there anything else that let you hop into a vehicle?
In November of 2020, I beat this game on hard mode for the first time. I didn't know about the bonus boss! I am so relieved to have finally finished this game. I also beat Double Dragon II: The Revenge on NES on Supreme Warrior difficulty in the same week, and fuck, that had a hidden boss, too!
Hey SNESDRUNK i have a question for you concerning this game when you die and you switch your regular machine gun before you do does it take away both of you gun upgrades or not? bc in contra 4 it only takes away the gun you had equipped during your death.
On stage 3, right as you beat the wall climber and get to the top. I used to attach a rubber band to the fire button, move to the very left of the screen, and farm lives for the next stages 😂 would walk away for about an hour and come back to max lives and lose them all instantly hahaha
I remember playing this game when I was really young with me and my brother and was really hard and now you can play on the Super Nintendo classic edition and it brought a lot of memories but I have to play it alone because I don't have any friends Cinema laser so I appreciate this game a lot because I wasn't always like this
Dude, that 'wall climbing bastard' IS the same thing as what you fought before below. It came back. That is what is so epic. Music is perfection as well.
I can beat it on easy without using a single continue and I can beat it on normal by using one or two continues but after all these years I still haven't managed to beat it on hard yet. In fact I'm gonna go play it right now 🤣
This game was siiiiick. This is meant to be a tricky game but when I was a kid I battered through this in a weekend. I suspect that as I have gotten older my skills have reduced significantly...
@@GurneyHalleckable Pixel-Gon is correct; I have the manual from the original boxed version of the actual SNES cartridge and that calls it a Crush-Gun.
After years of trying I've actually beaten Contra and Super C now, but I think Contra 3 is on another level of difficult, but it could be because i haven't been playing it obsessively. How would you rate the three in terms of difficulty? We all know Hard Corps is the hardest so no need to mention that one :P
Johan Öberg I would say Super C is probably the easiest, followed by Contra, and Contra III being the hardest of the three Nintendo Contras. But like you said, Hard Corps is the hardest one by far.
I found out a lot of people didn't know they had 2 guns slots and you could switch between them and If you die ( i could be wrong) but you don't lose that other slotted gun.
Final boss sequence is one of the greatest ever in video game history the simplicity is mine blowing. And you're very intelligent for realizing how contra just borrowed from what was cool at the time
Gamers growing up today have no idea about these classic games. This wasn’t the type of game you’d take home, play for several hours, and then have it beaten on the 1st or 2nd day. You’d simply get burned out if you attempted that. You’d play a bit, take a break and play it again a little later, get a bit further, and keep repeating. Maybe after several weeks (or longer) you’d finally be able to beat it. It took to to be able to complete these games.
I have never played this game and i grew up with super nintendo lol. Ive heard u talk about this game a ton so even tho Run and Gun games aren't really my thing after watching this video like five times and laughing my ass off over the past few months since I discovered you I have decided to download it for my emulator. I decided 2 watch the opening cutscene for the first time before I started playing and hear your voice every time I see that cutscene and it cracks me up I haven't really buckled down and tried to Beat it more have just gotten through the first and second level on1 continue but I never use the continues so I can try to get good at the first couple levels before moving on it is very intense I played it on hard with 7 Lives for shits and giggles and got creamed then tried easy and still got creamed lol so i switched it back to normal and have gotten semi decent at it. I was quite sheltered as a kid so i love this channel so i can find all the shit i missed out on due to my parents not letting me get certain games. Anyway im about to go attack aggressively. Nah maybe ill attack passively who knows lol

You only get the proper ending if you complete it on the hardest difficulty setting. A friend of mine and I managed this (eventually) back in the day but it took several attempts!
Not surprised
This game doesn't take shit from anyone lol
Remember that you can farm for lives.
@@richardmyers5732 😂😂
Contra 3 isn't one of the easy Games...
I love how everyone poses with the two guns in the same spots in the first level without ever being told about it
That's because of the demo

@@bra1nc417d yeah, nowdays the only thing that would happen is some cg clip starts playing
I did it because of the back of the box
I wonder if there was a screenshot on the back of the box.
Me: "I like this guy's reviews! I wonder why he's called "SNES drunk?"
*Watches this video*
Also me: "Alright, now I get it. Mystery solved."
Yeah I was like "he doesn't sound that drunk..... okay yeah he's drunk"
🍻
This video has made me very self-conscious about all those times I got drunk and wanted to show someone something I absolutely love.
Bring back actually drunk SNES drunk.
only 6 levels? i don't think that matters when you cant get past the first 30 seconds....
Lol.
He was drunk when he played this
Dunno, game is hard but not THAT hard. It's about memorization.
Unlike Contra Hard Corps, which is memorization PLUS good reflexes (because of how fast that game is).
That is true
Alcohol calms nerves
SNES has just too many classic games. Even the first gen games are amazing. Still in my opinion, the best console ever.
Agree👍
Its successor had _a few_ great games, most notably Zelda OoT and Zelda MM, which are arguably significantly better than Zelda ALttP. But the SNES had _many_ great games. Even the generally praised Super Mario 64 wasn't remotely as fun as Super Mario World in my opinion. (Jumping on enemies' heads is so imprecise in 3D that they had to give Mario the ability to punch. Generally there is much more walking and much less jumping because of 3D.) And the two Rareware shooters aged badly.
The developers hadn't really figured out 3D at the time, and they didn't realize that not everything needed to be converted into 3D. (That comes from someone who had a N64 but never owned a SNES.)
Switch will beat this
sanjitter no I don’t think it will, switch has too many rereleases i mean sure it has sold more but you can’t beat the absurd amount of classics on SNES
Manays i actually think super mario world isnt as great as smb3 or super mario 64. The only problem switch has is 3rd party r rereleasing compared to making new games.
"Its hard to talk while playing this game"
Then
"I can just plow through this game without even thinking"
12:00 - I'm cursed to spend my entire adulthood inexplicably unable to forget its official name is the "Tri-Transforming Wall Walker". I don't know why I cannot forget this. It's the only enemy in the game who's name I know.. apparently forever. Long live the Tri-Transforming Wall Walker!
That is awesome! Thanks for that anecdote
Hail Tri-Transforming Wall Walker forever!
was always scared of that shit when i was younger lol
The TTWuWu!
😊@@alejandropardo4891
I like how he simultaneously talks about how easy the top down level is and then immediately gets killed a couple times
Omg yes! Not expecting you to just say "why am I reviewing this? Let's just get shitfaced and play it!"
We should hang out and get wasted and play Contra.
Just saying.
Cheers
Pleeeease do more of these drunk let's play videos!! They're SO entertaining to watch, it really feels like watching one of your friends showing off that they still can play like a bad ass in spite being drunk lol!
Yes
That first level track just nails how awesome this game is!
This is my favorite SNES drunk video ever.
As soon as they say “let’s attack aggressively” you know shit is going down.
Letso attacko agglessively!!

H stands for Homing gun which chases the enemy. It is just like the enemy chasers in Metal Slug. S stands for spread gun.
@@aloksinghbbk I used to think it was Heat Seeker.....
But then I saw it seek out robots.
Cannon
Woah... Having only ever "nes'd" Contra this looks Epic. That Top Down spin is a freaking awesome turn of gameplay! Cool playthrough Drunk!
Just got my SNES classic yesterday! I can't wait to get out of work! Lol
This is the first SNES Drunk video I ever watched. Pretty tight man
It wouldn't be a Contra game without dying in the first 5 seconds.
I know this is late but "C" stands for Crusher. Love your gameplay.

I also do the "Bad-ass Pose" at the top of the pillar. Rad.
Which subreddit?
Contra III is the best Contra game. Its level design is unmatched.
Patriarca - This and Super C!
I totally did the "badass pose" too at the same point when I was a kid and even today. (Also where the plane drops the bombs)
LOL. First time I ever saw someone do a Michael McDonald victory cry. That should be a thing.

This is your best video on your channel! Keep it up!
That wholesome Midwestern accent plus the profanity is hilarious.
I would also hope that you figured out that in the top down levels, you can duck enemy fire by holding B. With no need for ducking behind obstacles
Love this game tons of nostalgia. First game I ever played actually when i was like 5 or 6. Never could get past the wall climbing boss robot thing though.
Nice bud ! Just started playing with my daughter in the snes classic. Lots of fun
That pose with the fire snake and the spinny shooty move on the corpse of the spinny top down boss is sooooo oldskool xD
I’ve been binging your videos, and this by far is now my favorite.
This game was one of the coolest games ever growing up in the 90s, the action was soo intense and very fun, one of the best games ever!! Classic.
The C "Crusher Bomb" is the strongest weapon although it comes out slow but in quick short bursts can do loads of damage.
Well it’s quarantine time and I’m drunk, and it was fun watching someone drunk review an awesome game while being drunk
i like the top down levels! is that really a thing!? most people dont like those?
Level 5 makes me wanna puke...
Awesome game though
I think they're the best part of the game.
This is my favorite game of all time.. As a kid I used to pause the game and listen to the music. I recently downloaded the soundtrack to level 3.its a tough game, especially for kids but exciting and rewarding. I still play it on my phone to this day
The mini boss on level 3 that blew your mind is the same mini boss you knocked down moments before - back with a vengeance.
Was this commonly used an in-store demo at like Target? I remember being amazed by something that let you hop into a tank in the early nineties. Was there anything else that let you hop into a vehicle?
You can hold the bumper buttons to station your self so you won't move when you are in a angle or aiming at things.
In November of 2020, I beat this game on hard mode for the first time. I didn't know about the bonus boss! I am so relieved to have finally finished this game. I also beat Double Dragon II: The Revenge on NES on Supreme Warrior difficulty in the same week, and fuck, that had a hidden boss, too!
When you kill that turtle he starts humping the ground lol
Lot of fun watching the playthrough! I should try this one drunk on hard for fun (still taking 7 lives though).
Hey SNESDRUNK i have a question for you concerning this game when you die and you switch your regular machine gun before you do does it take away both of you gun upgrades or not? bc in contra 4 it only takes away the gun you had equipped during your death.
You should continue this way of reviewing, just put more emphasis in explaining your thoughts on any given game. More than enough gameplay.
And also you are allowed to pause the game to get out your thoughts.
"The ultimate respect for the wall climber monster thing..."
On stage 3, right as you beat the wall climber and get to the top. I used to attach a rubber band to the fire button, move to the very left of the screen, and farm lives for the next stages 😂 would walk away for about an hour and come back to max lives and lose them all instantly hahaha

You play this better drunk than I did sober. Man, I'm terrible.
This game was siiiiick. This is meant to be a tricky game but when I was a kid I battered through this in a weekend. I suspect that as I have gotten older my skills have reduced significantly...
[C] stands for CONTRA!
Weird seeing someone play an entire level of this without 500 save states
And he is kinda drunk
Making Snes Drunk name in use, nothing like some beers and this channel, cheers!
The colors are gorgeous
Not from the SNES era, I know, but my favorite line from any game ever is from Blood Dragon:
"Blind me with your cyber-love."
Good game, bought my copy for a dollar and it was totally worth it!
Ed Berns
Most games are worth it for a dollar, even merely okay games.
How many lives is it preferable to start with?
Can u use the 30 lives code ? Like for nes
L - Laser Gun
S - Spread Gun
F - Flamethrower
H - Homing Missiles
C - Concussive Shells
The phrase "Let us attack aggressively" reminds me of ""All Your Base Are Belong To Us".
H: Homing, C: Crush
I always thought it was Cluster.
@@pixel-gon5873 no it is Crush. Cluster I know from UN Squadron
@@GurneyHalleckable Pixel-Gon is correct; I have the manual from the original boxed version of the actual SNES cartridge and that calls it a Crush-Gun.

The contra guys were totally a couple. The "attack aggressively" was the power bottom.
After they're done exterminating the alien swarm, they go down to the Ramrod to cruise for twinks. What a couple of super buff dudes!
Alright, when you busted out the "Takin' it to the streets" you got me.
Was expecting a review; got a drunken playthrough instead.
I see this as an absolute win
