Along with Super Mario, Contra was one of the first games I have ever played when I started with Nintendo, boy I had great co-ops with my nephew. Anyways, at level 3 I was always going straight for the mouth. I can't remember how that ended, but I can clearly remember I was also going for the rapid fire of spread on level 4 and where it was possible. Big up for this video too :)

I knew it as Probotector growing up and didn't find out it was called Contra until later on

[@blusafe1]

When is "time"? Looks like about a half second apart at the end, why 2-sec difference?
