All Canon 2D Contra Bosses - Super C, Operation C, 3, 4, Hard Corps, Shattered Soldier (No Damage)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 тра 2024
- Every single canonical 2D Contra Boss/Boss fight since the first Contra. We have the NES, SNES, Gameboy, Genesis, Gameboy, and Playstation 2 games all in one place. You are not gonna find Contra Force, Hard Corps: Uprising, C: The Contra Adventure, & Contra: Legacy of war here. Those are all spin-off or non-mainline games. I might do this another time. If anything I'll just focus on the non-canonical 2D Contra games.
Neo Contra didn't make the cut because the file was already getting to big and if I included Neo Contra I would have to include Rouge Corps. I never played Rouge Corps before. I would like to do a canonical timeline video after I play that game and have it down. Thank you for taking the time to watch this video. It took a lot of time not to just play these games well but to edit and get all content I needed. A subscription and a like here would be very much appreciated. Especially if you liked at least one of the boss fights.

I loved as a kid how in Contra 4 the final area of the game is literally the entire body of the alien. That's probably one of the reasons why I love monsters so much.
That is one of my favorite stages. Still unique in the contra series
I love the spasms when the bosses are defeated and you move to the music😆
It's what the Contra series is known for!
Shattered Soldier is basically one long boss rush and i love every moment of it.
Contra loves boss rushes!
What time line it takes place before or after alien wars maybe hardcorps
@@muhammadfattah8568shattered soldier takes place near the end of the known contra timeline to my knowledge. If I remember correctly, this takes place several years after alien war, as bill was put in cryo jail for a crime he didn’t commit, until they made him an offer to help stop a terrorist organization. It’s hard to tell how exactly long bill was in cryo jail, but the wiki state that this takes place around 2000 years before the last in the timeline, neo contra
SS was what happens when Konami creates a 3d contra game for the first time on ps2 console. Contra Neo cleaned up some of those problems- but storywise made alot worse problems for continuity
Boss rush levels are somethat common in Konami games such as in Gradius II / Vulcan Venture and much more.
Man! That last boss!
Developers: "How many stages should the last boss have?"
Designer: "YES!"
I felt like that fight went on forever. One mess up and it was back to the beginning. It' s a whole level!

Love seeing all these bosses masterfully beaten. Contra is a series I’d grown up playing with my dad, though by the time it got to the PS1 3D entries he’d lost interest in gaming altogether, but I’ll always have memories of us sitting down and playing through the first few together.
I love hearing stories like this. Warms my cold alien killing heart
Man, Contra Hard Corps has so many bosses. Sure, i beat them all back in the days when i was a kid, but man, i didn't even count how many of them there are and how long it takes to beat them.
Konami games on the genesis had an extreme amount of boss encounters
I agree, unfortunately, when I almost called it a game, I even agreed when Bahamut gave a choice and at that time I didn't know because I was playing the Japanese version
@@meowmerebro And i was playing english version, or american version, whatever you wanna call it. But the problem back then was that, i didn't understood english language like i do now (i'm from Ukraine by the way). So i had to learn in order to know, what those games want from me and how do i play it. But yeah, in the NES days i played japanese versions of the games and had to play it like that, without knowing what is happening. Like, there was a game called Flying Warriors, that was sort of like a beat'em up/fighting game, and i loved it, but i didn't know what that game wants from me, because it was japanese game, and i had to play it randomly, by doing stuff and see if it does any good to me or i will have to restart whole game.
@@deathcold_longplaysua4846 jajajaja same xD years later i understood what choises i was doing (when i was a child i remember a lot of games on japonese or english and i just could memorize or write on a paper the dialogues or choises )
Hard Corps is like an endurance boss run! One after the other, there are less "normal" enemies in this game. It's a hard and good Contra, but my personal favourite is still Contra 3 - The Alien Wars, I like the game's structure and gameplay a little bit better, it's just a little to short, that's the only flaw, Hard Corps has different paths to choose and different endings, which is a nice feature! Both are great Contras!
Can I just say I really appreciate a "boss showcase" vid that looks like the player knows what they're doing and isn't just sandbagging or giving up damage?
Yeah, certainly far better than I would've done.
Jesus Christ, I suck at this game.
the teabagging during the kill animations is fun
I'd love to see the concept art of these bosses, they're so awesome
metroid and dark souls have good bosses
@@mikelisteral7863 oh yeah, definitely, I've got an art book of blood borne, and saw some concept art of Metroid. It's really high quality stuff, but the thing with these old games is, concept art wasn't so accessible back then.
@@SunnyGOES have you tried VALFARIS ?
@@mikelisteral7863 oh, looks nice I might pick it up, thanks :D
@@SunnyGOES valfaris is hard but easier if you use the right weapons.
keep the original gun he has and upgrade it, then dont upgrade anything until you get the heat seeking missle launcher and the jelly wip
They gave me nightmares when I was a kid. But I still played Contra anyways. Oh I see you left the intro for Shattered Soldier. My most sincere thanks. That one rocks!!!!
Anytime! That intro rocks!
41:40 love the castlevania vampire killer music. Nice nod to another Konami franchise. Man I miss old Konami
Back when Konami knew what they were doing
Contra 3: The Aliens Wars. The only that I never was able to finish alone... and when "We" made it, was with the help of guy I met in arcades in 1998.
Congratulations, you earn my respects.
How nostalgic, thanks for the good memories from my youth.
Contra 3 is a solid one. On hard mode it's still manageable. Shatter Soldier though, that game is hard!
Thank you for your kind words. I love it when people feel nostalgic and tell me about their memories with games.
@@MegaYoYo Old School still rules!!!...👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
@@MegaYoYoManageable in the Japanese version, or if you max out lives. On default/NA, it's hard as hell.
With Konami code, it's pretty simple. The hardest Contra in the franchise is Super Contra IMO. That game waa relentless and unforgiving. Even the first arcade title was easy by comparison.
Love how the guy was doing what we all do in video games waiting around for the big bad guy to come on screen. Jam out to the music by moving our sprite up and down lol. Contra Hard Corps had some amazing music
Контра: Хард копс эх вот это настольгия, столько часов было потрачено в этой игре в детстве. И с другом её постоянно проходил на двух джойстиках, прекрасные времена были😢
21:36 You know you're badass when you take down a flying alien ship with hand-held guns, survive what appears to be a nuclear shockwave, and left hanging from a missile.
These dudes are radioactive and too cool for school
"you are the ultimate contra"
I used to have nightmares about being transported to a biomechanical alien hellscape. After watching this video, it was probably all the Contra games I enjoyed. Worth it though, what a great series. Thanks for the video!
This was a child worst thing to see. The Super C arcade intro is haunting as a child
The soundtrack to super c was still probably the best in the series I kno most won't agree but I honestly feel that way
It's a lot better than the og Contra. I enjoy the alien lair theme a lot. Some times I listen to it in the car.
I never realised how much Hard Corps is the "Anyway I started Blasting" meme made a game.
Thanks everyone for making this video pop-off! It took a lot of hard work to record all this but y'all made it worth it. Here are more Contra No Damage Boss videos that didn't make it.

Reelembrar é viver Concertesa Contra é um Jogo Clássico Man, ele fez parte da minha infância ....
Com certeza, amigo..... com certeza..... gostava de falar do Contra na escola, na hora do recreio.
I used to watch the boss runs for these games so much as a kid. Hard corps was great.
I love contra! And my best one of all is neo contra.I used to play neo contra since I was little.
I'm glad you like Neo Contra! That game deviated a little too much for me but I pick it up from time to time.
contra deveria ser ETERNO!!!!❤
Contra 4 had such a unique way of introducing bosses and stages. I loved the presentation. Amazing game, wish it was on console hardware. The split screen killed it for me. Still my favorite contra.
They could've ported it to Nintendo Switch and players can play with the screen detached vertically.
Holy shit, you’re amazing at Contra!
Contra 4 was brutal on hard mode and the challenges aswell, it was AMAZING to discover that after completion you unlock the first 2 contras and you can play them aswell, great game the nds sure was hell of a handheld console.
I wish more games unlocked their earlier games. Splatterhouse did the same thing

Gone Too Far
This made me curious about the Contra lore, again. Used to play Super and one on PlayStation, with the demo of Shattered Soldier.
It's wacky for sure. The main character pretty much lives through the penal colonization of earth
i really love how diverse the levels were from 3 onwards
Hard corps has a huge variety
One of the great nes games of all time contra rules

CONTRA ALIENS: "Hey, guys! What happened to all the Alien Bosses we sent out?........WHAT?!?! They were killed quite easily? Well then...send them AGAIN! Except...maybe THIS time we should make sure to get rid of those giant, glowing spots which pretty much say, 'SHOOT HERE!' Or...you know what? Nevermind...just send them again!"
They've been perfectly developed to have those big targets!
"Armed Truck Goochie"
Best name for a grindcore band ever.
I’d give it a listen
Some of the bosses are frightening
Gave me nightmares as a kid
Looking for contra return tips, I ended here. What a good old times ✌
You are more than welcomed to come back!
I'm a little surprised to say this, but the fully 3D Shattered Soldier holds up surprisingly well to it's processors. They really squeezed the most they could from the PS2 to make the game hold up aesthetically. Admittingly, it's noticeably mute in it's color pallet. That appears to be an artistic choice rather than a "limitation" one though.
Favorite contras are Contra Hardcorp, Super C, Shattered Soldier, and Contra 4.
watching this interested to see how the enemy progression goes from a "Defense Wall" and security systems to gigantic Lovecraftian horrors
The fact that the player has to fight cosmic beings in shattered soldier gives me a crisis
Nice work on them SS :D
Thank you!
Contra 3 was the most memorable for me as I played it often in the 90a and it was really hard back then.
Contra 3 is my favorite. I am biased though due to it being my 1st one
@@MegaYoYo Same here! Was fun watching. Hope you enjoy the newest one coming out later.
@@ZarisWhiteFootThat demo is sick. Already got a route down for the 1st level
@@MegaYoYoSame. My cousin introduced it to me on an emulator at school, way back in the day, then we played it on his SNES.
And yes, Operation Galuga is probably my third favorite Contra now. I like how it more-so borrows from the original trilogy, very much reminds me of Alien Wars.
Contra is a very fun game but the bosses are nightmare fuel.
Too spooky for me as a child
I enjoyed playing it with my dad & brother though.
Beautiful 👌
Thanks a lot 😊
I'm so happy how he stood on anthell and held the shoulder buttons and did the thing... It HAS to be done
Classic strat
Contra 3 had the best bosses in the final level it was epic battling all the old bosses from the older games
Still my favorite boss rush
I forgot just how few polys the first XBox and PS2 were able to push in real-time. A lot of the models are on the order of 1999-2002-era PC games.
So many creative angles. Ive notice many games influenced by contra. Even early metal gear is almost hard copy of these.
man I have all the contra games too lol this is making me want to go back and play them all!
Contra is one of my favorite IP’s! Anything to make people play it more
This is basically the entire series in one video, and I loved playing these to this day cause they never get old to me. Will you do Neo Contra next? That game is also canon, and it's after Shattered Soldier.
I always though about doing Neo Contra. I was on a Contra kick for awhile. I'd like to do it!
Number 3 was my first time playing and it had the most epic bosses. That thing that crawled up the wall was crazy the first time I seen it... 3rd level I think
Contra 3 was the first game I experienced mode 7 in. My god my baby mind was blown away!
@@MegaYoYo I wish they would've made the whole game like that level. Also the monsters seemed gigantic. I was 6 or 7 too lol I'm 34 now
เก่งมากครับ ผมนั่งดูไปลุ้นไป สนุกและเพลินดีครับ 🫰🩷😁😁😁
Weird how in contra C, you beat the main antagonist 2 levels before the final boss. Almost as if they had a backup plan in case their leader fell. I guess they learned from the previous loss
It was cool to see this considering in the arcade version that's where the game ended
Tbh every time I look at contra I have nightmares and i can never sleep again.....
Me as a kid
I love how Hard Corps and Shattered Soldier take 1/3 each of the video lmao. Goes to show the sheer fucking mayhem both games have on offer.
Both those games are just straight up boss rushes
@@MegaYoYo And I love them all the more for it
Some of these were nightmare fuel.
Favorite boss gotta be the big terminator in contra 4 the boss theme is such a banger
Big Fuzz is Contra's mascot according to Konami
The one I remember most is the 3rd one. My cousin and I used to use the game genie with it. Lol. We thought they sounded hilarious when they died and spun through the air, so we picked infinite lives and died a bazillion times. Falling off cliffs was the absolute funniest. 🤣 Good times good times. I still have that game, but no TV to play it on. Lost my power cord. Lol. My bad.
Those were the day man. If I had a time travel I would go back to those.
Awesome!
black viper assembling its giant body from the bodies of the killed humans was a little scary

They had it coming
铁血兵团是我玩过的最天马行空的游戏，有些场景一切换过来，简直匪夷所思，惊艳异常，永远的经典
3:48 Ugh. this thing gave me nightmares. I used to be player 2 with my sister (4 years older than me) and that used to scare the living crap out of me.
The Buggers, specifically.
I feel ya. I think this is where my fear of fast small creepy things came from. Specifically spiders.
Nostalgic man
Hell yea man
I just noticed you moving the guys around in time with the music while waiting for things to happen. I do that all the time in other games, without even realizing it sometimes
Hehehe I’m glad you noticed! I love doing this in some of my favorite games, especially Contra p
Contra 4 had some of the best bosses in the series, the again, wayfoward loved to use both DS screens for their games like Thor also
Wayforward knocked or out of the park with 4. Still love going back for a casual run
In shattered soldier, for the 1st boss (the turtle), 1st phase: if you align your feet with the second piller and use the grenade launcher, you won't be hit by none of the attack.
I'm gonna try that on my next casual run. I love finding safe spots. Thanks for the info!
I used to play Hard Corps with my dad growing up. That and Outlander on the Genesis.
I hope you love those memories and felt that while watching this video
100% dude. No doubt! Never knew the "wave weapon" for the wolf character was so good.
@@17gtpdestroyer Yea, the technique I use bypasses the charging time which is why it's so devestating.
Konami really made some of the best bosses in all of gaming.
They were boss rush kings back in the day!
Are some oif the bullets invise on the Nes contras?
So it's not just my imagination that the final Contra III boss has insane HP.
That thing takes forever on hard mode!
Honestly though, it's the most fun boss IMO. I like how you have to stand in the middle and required to be a sharp shooter. The crowd management alone can be tough.
Still hard to believe that Contra 3 last boss used the form of the boss from Super C in the final rush.
@@sinfulkivisian20 It ties it all together, which I like. You've got the Java, his Super C form, and then finally the true essence of Gava, Searle. It's a neat little call back, done in a way that actually mixes up the fight. Instead of it being just another overhead section rehashed, you get to fight him from a different perspective.
One of the many reasons 3 has always been my favorite, is that it neatly ties together the series, while also being, at least originally, the final chapter of Contra.
Even if they didn't make any more after 3, I would have been satisfied, as nothing comes close to it.
@@AltairEgo1 you are very right to say that. Contra 3 is still to this day a classic. It was one of the 2 games my brother and i owned when we got our first SNES. The 2nd game we had was TMNT 4:Turtles in Time. I actually made an attempt a few years ago to try and beat it on hard mode by myself after some trials and errors...and i finally beat it
How can you do so much damage in Contra Hard corps? I remember playing every Character and Bosses taking 5 times as long tô die
The character I use can quick swap weapons to do ludicrous damage. You can see me swap weapons
"Lets attack aggressively" LOL😂
They say that line in the new Contra, Love that it's a meme that the devs enjoy
23:45 It always looked to me at this point that the Metal Alien was flipping you off with its tail.
I played contra 3 alien wars on snes with my brother
The contra hard corps music was so good that even the character started to dancing 😂
that music goes hard (corps)!
In Hard Corps, is possible to defeat Powered Ninja Murasame before he tears the building down with brownie. You need to detonate the bomb right when he starts spinning, and then hit him immediately and repeatedly with the Chain weapon (C)
Ooouuu that sounds like some cool tech! I wish I knew that before I recorded the fight
26:36 Metal Skullmageddon
Oh no! not him!
You ever thought about including the arcade versions of the first two games? You know, since they're the ones that came before the NES/Famicom versions
Oh yea! I got the footage ready but I set up a poll and people weren’t interested. Thought about using the footage for something else
Nice!!!
Awesome
Some Bosses have wrong translated names from JAPANESE ORIGINAL.
Additionally, The name of 26:32 Boss
[フェロメドス六人衆 Feromedosu Rokunin-shuu = The Feromedos (Felomedos) Six, Feromedos Six Men]
isn't introduced. (Some people call it ''Six heads Feromedos'', but it's wrong.)
(from Japanse 魂斗羅CONTRA mania with love)
48:51 Looks like Dr. Cinnamon from TwinBee really snapped this time.. Lol
The man has had enough!
In Hard Corps, what's the trick to combining your weapons? I see your inventory scroll through every time you fire, but I can't tell what you're doing.
Looks like they shoot the 2nd projectile then quickly switch to the 4th, cancelling the wind up animation of the 4th one while still mantaining the projectile. I'm not sure but that's what it looks like. Never knew about it, it melts bosses.
You are absolutely right. This allows the charge up time to be negligible and allows the player to shoot as fast as they can as long as they have good rhythm.
@@MegaYoYo oh, man. You can charge your weapons? I had no idea
@@anthonybernero9720 only Fang has a charged shot IIRC

I was really surprised by Shattered Soldier.
Most of the 2d action platformers that went 3d for me just weren't done well, however this was epic.
The bosses, the weapons, the creepiness and gore ... it really made me feel like watching all the other Contra games, just in 3d and a bit improved as any sequal was before that.
I even feel that the second last boss with the worms like creatures around him, could have had a progression part where the worms go crazy and instead of attacking you, they start attacking him, thus morphin him into the abomination that is the final boss.
Even Operation C was like a great trailer to the next instalment.
Nevertheless, amazing video, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Shattered Soldier was a weird one. I had a hard time getting into it.
Every time I see the Gomeramos King: "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man!"
Can't wait to give it to em again in OG
Does Contra have like a non canon series or something? Isn't there only like 5 games? I didn't know it had a canon to differentiate with
Yes! Some also say it’s a different timeline. For example Contra Rebirth is a different universe
Shattered Soldier is so underappreciated.
It took me a loooooooooooong time to warm up to it
Man I loved contra 3 but damn did that 3rd level hurt. Especially wall walker.
When I tried speedrunning the game those snipers would end my run so fast.
does anyone know if there was any mention of copyright violation of the first game using either H.R. Giger works or facehuggers? I tried searching to see if anything comes up but nothing appears to come up regarding Contra's use of facehuggers in the game.
I never knew of such a case but it's well known that the series burrows heavily from the action film genre.
I may be reaching here, but was Cuphead's Boss, Hilda Berg, inspired by the astrological Contra: Hardcore fight? She also transforms into Taurus, Sagitarius and Gemini.
I think your well within the realm of reason. Cuphead burrows a lot from Contra and other run 'n gun games.
They all looking freaking scary
Oh hell, when I was kid I wasn't ever fast enough to try Fang B to D conversion that way (I always paused to give myself more time)
Theirs a certain rhythm to it. when I lost my timing it threw the whole fight off
I wish there was a whole lot more content for hard corps. Like, hard corps 2
Play Hard Corps Uprising. It's essentially hard corps 2
operation c's final boss got his tricks from gradius
In Contra: Hard Corps, why are you switching between Fang's weapons often? What does that strat do? Thanks!
It eliminates the charge time for hist explosive fist, allowing to do the charged move right away
moving them down with scattershot in seconds is unfair to my childhood frustrations
Yea it do be like that but I feel your pain
Que buena epoca😊
Un buen uso de tiempo
odd; how can bosses from different routes in the same game be canonical?
