Item Description
Following Contra was a near-impossible assignment, and Konami met it by simply turning everything up. Super C is the NES adaptation of the 1988 arcade game Super Contra, retitled for its North American release in 1990, and it sends Bill and Lance back into the fight against Red Falcon's alien army with a pace that rarely lets up. It plays like the work of a team that knew exactly what made the first game great and had a little more NES know-how to throw at it.
The side-scrolling stages are classic run-and-gun: sprint, jump, aim in eight directions and keep moving, because standing still is how you die. Where the original Contra broke up its levels with behind-the-back base corridors, Super C swaps them for top-down overhead stages, where tanks, turrets and soldiers close in from every side of an open battlefield. That shift gives the game a rhythm all its own. The falcon power-ups make every life feel precious, too. Grab the Spread Gun and the screen fills with fire, or try the reworked Fire gun, which now launches a large projectile that bursts into flame on impact; lose a life and the weapon goes with it, turning the next stretch into a white-knuckle scramble.
Konami squeezed a remarkable amount of detail out of the hardware. Enemy designs escalate from foot soldiers and armored vehicles to towering mechanical bosses, and the NES version adds three vertically scrolling stages of its own, a high-tech base, a mountain climb and an alien nest, before a brand-new final boss. Hidenori Maezawa rearranged the arcade soundtrack for the NES sound chip, and it hits hard. Two players fight side by side at once, which is where Super C really comes alive: covering each other, arguing over the next power-up and pushing through stages that would flatten either of you alone. A secret code on the title screen grants ten lives, a trick passed around playgrounds for good reason.
Super C often gets slightly less attention than its older sibling, and that undersells it. It sold more than half a million copies and earned strong reviews, and plenty of players who grew up with both will tell you the sequel is the tighter, flashier game. Put it next to Contra on the shelf and you have the two cartridges that set the standard for couch co-op shooting on the NES.
