For those of you who were born in the 90s, you must be familiar with the shooting game called Contra. The game is one of the best and most fun NES games of its time. In addition, this game presents a very cool and challenging stage.
In this article, we would like to discuss all stages in this game. Check our article below!
1. Jungle – Boss: Defense Wall
In the first stage, we have to go through an adventure in a forest full of enemies. We can use the land area or swim through the sea to get past the enemies that are blocking us.
After we have passed all the obstacles, we will be faced with the main boss which is in the form of a defensive wall with two large cannons. The boss isn't too hard to beat as long as the player can set the right position to attack.
2. Base 1 – Boss: Garmakilma
Unlike the first stage, the second stage uses a third-person view perspective. Players must penetrate the enemy base and pass various obstacles as well as traps, such as electric shocks and enemy troops that keep arriving.
The boss of this stage is a defense mechanism known as Garmakilma. The boss can shoot bullets that chase players. For this reason, players must be more careful to avoid these bullets.
3. Waterfall – Boss: Gromaides
After passing the second stage, players will enter a new area in the form of a waterfall. Players must constantly move up and through enemy troops that are ready to attack at various points. The difficulty level of this stage can be considered medium.
The main boss that we have to defeat in this stage is a scary alien named Gromaides. Apart from being scary, Gromaides is capable of shooting several attacks which are quite difficult to avoid so players have to be more focused.
4. Base 2 – Boss: Godomuga
In the fourth stage, the player must penetrate the defense of the second enemy base. These bases are more complex and have more difficult obstacle levels. There are many enemy troops and traps ready to attack the player.
If the player manages to pass each obstacle, the player will face an automaton named Godomuga. Players must stay focused and don't let their guard down because Godomuga can create illusions and attacks that are quite confusing.
5. Snowfield – Boss: Guldaf
After defeating Godomuga, players will enter a stage which is a snowy area. There are many enemy troops that can launch a surprise attack at several points. Because of that, the obstacles from this stage are quite difficult.
Unlike the previous stage, the boss that the player must defeat at this stage is a hovercraft named Guldaf. The boss is able to teleport and issue attacks in the form of a kind of mechanical device that attacks players quickly.
6. Energy Zone – Boss: Gordea
Energy Zone is a very difficult stage in this game. This stage presents an area that looks very cool and futuristic. However, there are tons of enemies and traps that are very difficult to beat.
Apart from that, Gordea, who becomes the boss at this stage, is also very difficult to deal with. He is described as an armored warrior of gigantic size. In addition, he is able to issue attacks that are very fast and difficult to predict.
7. Hangar – Boss: Final Gate
If the player successfully passes the Energy Zone, the player will enter a new stage called Hangar. The difficulty at this stage also increases. Apart from being filled with spiked areas, there are tons of enemies and traps ready to attack players.
The boss on this stage is the Final Gate which is the entrance to Alien's Lair. The gate has a high-level defense mechanism so players have to spend extra strategy and energy to beat it.
8. Alien's Lair – Boss: Java & Gomeramos King
After going through a series of stages full of obstacles, the player finally arrives at the last stage. At this stage, players have to walk through areas that look horror and deal with strange and creepy creatures.
In order to win the game, the player must defeat the two main bosses at this stage. They were Demon Dragon God Java and Gomeramos King. They can issue a barrage of attacks that make it difficult for players and it feels like they just want to give up hehe.
