About This Game
The game preserves the core gameplay of Contra III with improved controls for the GBA. Players can now store two weapons simultaneously and switch between them, adding strategic depth to the combat.
Features 5 stages blending elements from both the SNES original and new GBA-exclusive content. The new 'Spread Bomb' weapon creates radial explosions, while 'Crush Missile' fires homing projectiles.
Notable for being one of the most challenging GBA titles. The 'Alien Corridor' stage introduces gravity-flipping mechanics that change gameplay dynamics dramatically.
