Super C (NES) Playthrough

  • A playthrough of Konami's 1990 run-and gun action game for the NES, Super C.
    I play through two loops of the game in this video. The second loop begins at 20:56.
    A year has passed since Bill and Lance fought off Red Falcon's invasion force and saved the earth in Contra ( • Contra (NES) Playthrough ), but the aliens have returned! The creatures have taken over a military installation and body-snatched its soldiers, and the muscle-bound hero duo are once again called upon to wrench humanity back from the maw of oblivion.
    Just remember to keep your eyes peeled! Attacking aggressively will require not just a pocket full of miracles and the ferocity of a wild jackal, but also a helluva lot of firepower and 1980s action-hero machismo.
    Super C is the console adaptation of Super Contra, the arcade sequel to the first Contra game that had been released ten months prior. The NES game, which appeared in the spring of 1990, is strikingly similar to the original NES Contra, but that's not a complaint - it was exactly what everyone wanted from Contra 2, and Konami delivered in spades.
    The run-and-gun action is as fluid and tight as before, the top-down stages are just as tense as the original's pseudo-3D bases that they replace, and all the classic weapons all make a welcome return.
    The fire gun also got an upgrade. You can now charge it up, Mega Buster-style, for major splash damage.
    The game is a fair amount easier than its predecessor, but it still provides a good challenge, especially in the later loops. The graphics are excellent, and the soundtrack is phenomenal. It lacks the epic bombast of the arcade version's sample-heavy music, but it goes all-out to make the most of the NES's limited audio capabilities. Super C dedicates more memory to digitized audio samples than any other official NES cart, and man, those bit-crushed orchestra hits sound awesome.
    (In case anyone is interested, I've actually done a couple of arrangements of the first stage theme. You can find my NES version of it at • ♫THUNDER LANDING (Supe... , and the SNES version at • ♫THUNDER LANDING (Supe... )
    Super C is indeed super, and it's an entirely worthy follow-up to one of the NES's best action games.

    This has to be one of the greatest openings of any NES game ever. Rappelling out of a helicopter during a thunderstorm into an alien military base let you know right away that this wasn’t going to be one of those weird NES sequels that was completely different and let you down. This was going to be Contra…and it was going to be fucking super.

      Honestly, I tend to go back to this more than the original as well. The visuals were updated with better detail in a very subtle way which makes the overall presentation a better experience! Also the overhead view stages work better for me than the pseudo-3rd person stages in the original.

    Looking back, it is crazy to realize some of the best Famicon/NES games came out AFTER the launch of the PC Engine and Mega Drive in japan. Between 1988 and 1992, there was a incredible amount of excellent releases. The trio Konami/Capcom/Sunsoft made their names around this time frame. Not to mention countless other smaller studios, that created classics that were still getting attention 3 decades after their inicial releases on Nintendo's finest.

    There is not much else to say about this game other than the perspective change stages are now top down view instead. It's more of the same stellar, nonstop run n gun action, and another amazing hard pumping music got with it. If you loved the previous entry a lot, you will also love this equally classic sequel.

    Two tricks for stage 3:
    before kill the spider tank, put Closest to the right side of the screen, when the next part (earthquake) begins, you stay Go ahead of the holes.
    The boss is easy, but can be easy when you shoot a little ahead show on this video (the shoot from the center ALWAYS go center). Jump to get more hits
