Konami's 1988 arcade game Super Contra became Super C on the NES in 1990, with the name shortened in North America. Bill and Lance return to fight an alien force led by Red Falcon, which has taken over an army base, and the NES conversion again expands its source with more stages and redesigned layouts.
The pseudo-3D corridor stages of the first Contra are replaced with overhead top-down stages, where you run up the screen and shoot in eight directions. Side-scrolling levels include jungle and alien hive sections that resemble the original's finale. Weapon capsules work much as before, with the spread gun and machine gun returning alongside a reworked flame gun. Two players can still fight together. As with the original, the game was released in Europe as Probotector II, with robots in place of soldiers.
Tips for Super C
Hold on to the spread gun; dying or grabbing another capsule replaces it.
In the top-down stages, keep moving diagonally to avoid crossfire from turrets.
On the title screen, press Right, Left, Down, Up, A, B, then Start to begin with 10 lives.
