When the jump button is pressed while crouching on a higher platform, the player will drop down to a lower level. Pressing the joystick downwards while standing will cause the character to lie down on his stomach,Īllowing him to avoid enemy fire and shoot low targets. The player can also shoot in any of eight directions, including downwards, while jumping. During side view stages, the player can shoot leftward, rightward or upward while standing, as well as horizontallyĪnd diagonally while walking.

The joystick controls not only the player's movement while walking and jumping, but also his aiming. When the character jumps, he curls into a somersault instead of doing a conventional jump like in other games. Lance Bean of the Contra unit (an elite group of soldiers specializing in guerrilla warfare), are sent to the island to destroy the enemy forces and uncover the true nature of the alien entity controlling them.Ĭontra ( Gryzor / 魂斗羅 ) employs a variety of playing perspectives, which include a standard side view, a pseudo-3D view (in which the player proceeds by shooting and moving towards the background, in addition to left or right) and aįixed screen format (in which the player has their gun aimed upwards by default).
