JESUS. You have pushed this game to an edge that will be close to impossible to surpass. Huge, huge congratulations, this is an EXTRAORDINARY run. Truly extraordinary.
Dude... You're the greatest!!! You did all that alone, i remember when I was a kid, even with my brother, it was crazy to finish the game... and here you didn't even give me time to enjoy the music..
Joined the stream during this run, on base1 boss. Seeing low 4:24 sensor kill followed by the glitch kill, that was something. And that energy zone, that JJ kill! Closing this run out after seeing that juicy -3.3 split, very impressive, congrats!
Wow. Great job! I've been playing Contra a lot lately. Trying new strats. Got my time down to 13:17. When I looked for the WR, I had no expectation of it being 3/5 minutes better ! I never knew about all of these briliant faster ways. Thanks for sharing!

Im 17 years old, i started play Contra, beacuse i love retro games, you make it look so easy, and i have die a lot of times in this game, my respect gentleman
Dude my school seniors built an arcade and it had Contra in it. I played 2 player with my friend and we can somewhat reliably pass stage 2 but keep dying at 3 so i came to watch a run. I'm impressed at how fast you can go through it and so effortlessly
@@acedemonic142 whoa, that’s awesome that they built that! I’ve played this game so much, it’s just mostly muscle memory and the right combination of patterns coming together. Like anything else, it’s just lots of time and effort poured into it. Hope you continue to enjoy the game.
I never played Contra before until I watched your video. My BF plugged up his old rusty NES for me to try and I was infuriated lol. Thanks for introducing me to this fun game. One day Ill get a sub 60 mins record in hopefully lol.
How fast are you pressing the fire button? I tried following your strat for the first level and I can't seem to get close to killing the boss at the end of the stage.
Offtopic: Can I ask, how do you setup your gear at home to stream your old NES games? Ive been trying to find some answers on Google, but without luck. Maybe do a video on that too? ;) What equipment is needed etc. Ontopic: Really nice WR! Good luck on your further journey
Yeah no problem. I just use a device called a gv-usb2. It has composite inputs on one end and just plugs into a USB port on my computer. I use a few sets of composite cables and splitters to get the Nes, and crt to run into the gv-usb2. This is also a very affordable capture device, generally at about $30. You could spring for nicer ones if you like, but it serves me well. It’s also in a different language than English, (Korean I believe) but there is a tutorial online for what to click and get it running. Super easy to follow.
This might be my 5th or 6th time watching this to get the new waterfall skips (I watched *aiqiyou's* tutorial, and the 2nd skip especially is being a pain in the ass to get, I dunno what I'm doing wrong, the skip seem to only work 50% of the time) and I can't help but be amazed by your consistency every single time I watch this. You'll forever be a legend among the speedrun community. Also, thank you for everything you do for the community. From modding the Contra page at speedrun.com to making a full tutorial for speedrunning Contra (for the NES-cathlon way back, remember?). That tutorial was pretty much the sole responsible for me to try speedrunning this game, and I had no idea it could be this fun. Congrats for the 9:48 Lanks. You deserve it. Rooting for you to hit 9:47 someday!
Africa By Toto Thank you! Very kind of you to say all of that. So that second skip is easy to miss because of the vertical jump where you have to also shoot at the guy in the water. The reason it’s messing up the skip sequence is because the jump to that ledge above is quite a bit higher than most of them. Due to this factor it’s very easy to move to the right too early because you want to shoot that asshole in the water. So what happens is the screen isn’t finished scrolling, and then your movement happens while the screen is just finishing scrolling, rather than after. I’d recommend paying extra close attention to that area, and make sure you don’t move right and shoot, until bill has starting his descent from that jump. The next two jump vertical jumps you’ll also want to keep this in mind, but since the ledges you’re jumping too aren’t as high up, you have a large window on the descent. I hope that can help your consistency in the second skip.
@@Angrylanks Ooohhh, that was it, I just tried it a few times with savestates, and I was moving right too early while the screen was still scrolling up, just like you said! I had a feeling it had something to do with the way I was dealing with the guy in the water, but since it was difficult to shoot him I decided to not shoot him, and instead jump before his bullets and their explosions could hit me. I also tried triggering him then waiting for the bullets to fall beneath the platform I was going to jump to, to avoid getting killed by the explosions, but it loses too much time too early in the run to not try the other methods. And even when I tried not to shoot him, I was still moving right too soon, which messed up the values for the skips. But now I just tried waiting for the right moment after the beginning of the descent of the jump, like you said, and now I'm even able to kill the guy in the water consistently, since waiting that long also helps with my timing on the next jump, which triggers him. Imma practice it a bit more then I'll try to lower my time again. Also, just fiy, the times I killed him and got the skip were the times when I could tell my jump height would be perfectly aligned with the bullets if he had shot them, but most of the times I managed to jump *beneath* his bullets I didn't get the skip, and the screen appeared to have scrolled less than it did at that same jump during the times I got the skip. It seems to be nearly impossible to jump beneath the bullets AND still get the skip, since the main reason I managed to jump beneath the bullets seemed to be because the screen didn't scroll enough. Therefore, if the jump beneath the bullets was easy then the values for the screen to scroll enough for a skip to be made were already messed up. Don't know if this is useful info or even how accurate my perception of this is, just thought it wouldn't hurt to let you know about my experiene with this method. You rock man, thanks for the explanation! Turns out even today I'm still being helped by your tutorials, haha! :)
Africa By Toto yeah I also noticed some work arounds a with missing the shot. I experimented with those ideas of jumping in certain places instead to try and create a consistent way to take that damn shot out, but in the end it proved too inconsistent as a whole, and I decided the shot should be manageable. Once I understood the positioning, and later movement it wasn’t much of a problem. But there is a ledge if you wait and jump instead that will always cause the three way shot to spilt and explode at a lower point on the screen. So if you wanted to you could stay in that ledge without worrying about the shot, and lose (I’m guesstimating) about a half second. So it would still be faster than the old 2 skip routes. I’d honestly just go with the shot though. It gets more consistent. Which it seems like you’re already saying at this point for yourself.
Are you using a turbo controller? Everytime you shoot quick it is clearly audible that you mash the buttons but at some point you shoot fast as hell but even on 200% volume I cant hear any button mashing at all, how can this be? Especially on stage 4 it is noticable that you do that. Also on stage 5 boss before he appears and you shoot down the mashes are clearly audible, and right when you shoot up they disappear and the shooting gets a little faster. I think that you swap between regular and turbo button to be honest and its audible all over the whole run. Especially when the bosses appear the mashing goes silent. Turbo controllers are not allowed but yet you claimed this as a world record. Can you explain it to me?
Just watch my more recent run I posted here on my RUclips channel. You can see my hands on the camera I have set up. The fast mashing is quieter because I’m barely lifting my finger to get the presses in. Folks call it “vibrate mashing.” You basically make your arm spasm really quickly.
@@Angrylanks thanks for your answer. I didnt know the vibrating thing works so well while moving. Sorry if I sounded like I claimed you were cheating. Mad respect for your honest answer and the explanation, keep on rocking, now I understand everything you do ingame as I just watched your newer run.
@@d1rtydan194no worries. Happy to answer any questions anyone has about the run. Also, you should check out KingKoopa who now has a 9:47 and will most likely be getting the game down to a 9:45 soon.
Well done.. I'm still working on finishing the game on one man. I'm pretty sure once I get it, I'll be within a minute of this time though cuz finish every level but the waterfall and energy zone pretty much the same way (minor hesitations). Do you know if the game randomizes enemies?? I swear I can recreate the first few levels identically but get a different shit thrown at me.
That’s awesome! Stoked to see what your first deathless run will look like. So yeah it’s random in a sense. The best way I can explain it is that all of the inputs you do along the way have an influence on what enemies will appear or how they will behave. Since we’re only human, our movement through any stage (including shooting and jumping) will never be identical on any given playthrough of any stage. So these minor differences actually greatly influence enemy spawns and boss patterns. If you could play like a robot frame perfectly on every input then the patterns would always be the same.
@@Angrylanks I'm now at 4 deathless runs and starting to get my stages 1, 5, 6, 7, & 8 within a few seconds of a legit speed run. I'm positive I'd be like 80-90% success rate on my deathless runs if I wasn't going for speed, but once I accomplished that goal, time is all I cared about. Best guess, I'd be able to run sub 12 if I played another month as much as I just did, but I'm all contra'd out.
@@celticstephenhill awesome!! It’s so rewarding taking it down deathless. No harm in taking breaks either. You can always come back later on if you get the urge.
No way to know. I first set it back in July of 2017 and improved it quite a few times since. Eventually someone else will come along and take the game further than I have. Hard to say when that might happen.
It’s a frame perfect glitch. Lemme see if I can find some good info on it for you. But basically you have 1/60th of a second to hit both of the bosses on an exact frame, and it clauses the hit box to activate when it isn’t supposed to. I’ll try to link something soon.
Killing the cannon is to help maintain the bullet stream and also take out the extra threat of its bullet. The middle sensor on the wall that needs to be killed doesn’t have an active hitbox, so you actually have a bit of time to kill the turret and maintain that bullet stream before it starts to take any real damage.
@@Angrylanks Awesome. Thanks for the reply. I was having trouble at the lvl 1 bridges till watching your vid, and noticed you jumped way earlier why does this work? What's a great resource for learning strats? I'm checking out the speeddemosarchive. I've always found glitches and speedrunning interesting, but this'll mark the second game I've actually tried to speedrun. I just want a respectable time.
@@jonathanbetenbender307 So jumping early works because the sections of the bridge start to blow up before you reach them. As for resources lemme go grab some links to send your way.
@@jonathanbetenbender307 so these days everyone goes to speedrun.com to submit times. Speeddemosarchive is dated these days, although still fun to search through. This is a great way to talk to other runners. I recommend downloading the discord app and hopping into this server. discord.gg/34bNxTkX Here is a nice wiki that a runner called sideswipe put together as well. contra-speedrunning.fandom.com/wiki/Contra

Dude I played this game like crazy and could beat in a single run, My respects on Level 5 6 7 Cannot run through those like that just yet your a freaking Beast.
Turbo is kind of weird in the base stages of this game. Doesn’t really duplicate the strategies very well unless it’s specifically programmed at a good speed for it. As for shooting like that in general it’s a technique people refer to as “vibrate mashing.” If you watch some of my more recent twitch streams I actually have a hand cam showing the presses now.
I use OBS Studio to run my capture card through and to set up all of my stream applications. My capture card is called a gv-usb2. Otherwise I have a top loader Nintendo and I use a flashcart called a “PowerPak” to practice and run my games primarily.
Magnificient. Perfect execution on all of the stages. I've read the description and if that boss spawning works in your favor, could you push it to 9:47? Or maybe less?
Technically if he got a perfect boss spawn, perfect global time in hanger, frame perfect grenade jump in snow, and an extremely risky jump called the "leap of faith" past a randomized flame, the time could be as low as 9:44.
Metal Head Maniac yep! Those are buffer shots to create a good line of spread bullets. Shooting off screen causes the bullets to group more effectively and shooting down at an angle is the shortest distance to achieve it there. Then I can aim up at the boss and smoke it.
Dude I think honestly without the waiting screens and if the timer would stopped right when u destroyed the brain I think your time is truly like about 9:30.
I use a flashcart called a PowerPak that has roms on it. I play it in a top loader nes that I have running into a vcr since the US top loader is rf only. Then from the vcr I run composite cables to some splitters. I use another set of composite cables from the other end of the splitters and run those to a crt, and another set of composite cables to my capture card. The capture card I use is called a gv-usb2. And as the name would imply, it just runs out to my computer via usb. My computer is very primitive, and I’m not very tech savvy. So honestly my setup in that regard isn’t very great. Other people go to great efforts to make nicer looking streams, I just like to play games fast. Hope that helps.

Not in contra. But I think they should make a leaderboard for it at this point.
Woah GG man, this is a very good run
What system did you do this on?
A top loader Nintendo.
Just finished watching Summoning Salt only to find out you already broke the 9:50 haha, awesome run, big (late) congratz
Damn dude... congrats!!!!
holy shit dude, incredible run, well done
GG that run was insane. Middle flame and no jump, wow!
This isn’t the NES version is it? I’ve noticed some shit not happening that normally happens. Like where are the guys with the guns on Base 2 boss
If you kill the three red dots fast enough they don't have enough time to spawn before the boss.
absolutely insane
My man that's crazy, congrats:3
Thath boss kill at Energy Zone... superb bro!
i'm here to say that it was awesome!!!! one of favorite games from my childhood
Bro how are you reading and talking to the chat while breezing through this hell hole 🥶🥶🥶
Nice speedrun,keep it up bro :)
came here from summoning salt! amazing speed run
You are god of contra! Really op gameplay
Outstanding! What a RUN! Congrats!
4:30 Just tried playing can't tell if it's faster to kill the canon or not. What's the story here?
Killing the cannon is to help maintain the bullet stream and also take out the extra threat of its bullet. The middle sensor on the wall that needs to be killed doesn’t have an active hitbox, so you actually have a bit of time to kill the turret and maintain that bullet stream before it starts to take any real damage.
@@Angrylanks Awesome. Thanks for the reply. I was having trouble at the lvl 1 bridges till watching your vid, and noticed you jumped way earlier why does this work? What's a great resource for learning strats? I'm checking out the speeddemosarchive. I've always found glitches and speedrunning interesting, but this'll mark the second game I've actually tried to speedrun. I just want a respectable time.
@@jonathanbetenbender307 So jumping early works because the sections of the bridge start to blow up before you reach them. As for resources lemme go grab some links to send your way.
@@jonathanbetenbender307 so these days everyone goes to speedrun.com to submit times. Speeddemosarchive is dated these days, although still fun to search through.
This is a great way to talk to other runners. I recommend downloading the discord app and hopping into this server. discord.gg/34bNxTkX
Here is a nice wiki that a runner called sideswipe put together as well. contra-speedrunning.fandom.com/wiki/Contra

Omg Man, you make this game looks so easy, great run
Dude I played this game like crazy and could beat in a single run, My respects on Level 5 6 7 Cannot run through those like that just yet your a freaking Beast.
Man playing this game of my youth on switch and kicking my ass.
Buenisimo! Felicitaciones.. se sintieron los nervios!
How do you shoot that fast? Even with turbo I can't do it.
Turbo is kind of weird in the base stages of this game. Doesn’t really duplicate the strategies very well unless it’s specifically programmed at a good speed for it. As for shooting like that in general it’s a technique people refer to as “vibrate mashing.” If you watch some of my more recent twitch streams I actually have a hand cam showing the presses now.
Uhh at 8:25 he literally runs through a bunch of enemies without getting damaged. Wtf?!?
Que programa usar para tudo vídeos ??
I use OBS Studio to run my capture card through and to set up all of my stream applications. My capture card is called a gv-usb2. Otherwise I have a top loader Nintendo and I use a flashcart called a “PowerPak” to practice and run my games primarily.
Magnificient. Perfect execution on all of the stages. I've read the description and if that boss spawning works in your favor, could you push it to 9:47? Or maybe less?
Technically if he got a perfect boss spawn, perfect global time in hanger, frame perfect grenade jump in snow, and an extremely risky jump called the "leap of faith" past a randomized flame, the time could be as low as 9:44.
are you gonna try a speed run with the regular shot
I have actually. My time for that category is 11:12. But with the new route on waterfall I’ll probably try to beat it
@@Angrylanks one more question
6:22 is there a reason you always shoot the ground during this part
Metal Head Maniac yep! Those are buffer shots to create a good line of spread bullets. Shooting off screen causes the bullets to group more effectively and shooting down at an angle is the shortest distance to achieve it there. Then I can aim up at the boss and smoke it.
was this guy home wearing a mask?
yes he was. It's mind blowing
mad respect! 9:50 finally broken!
I am playing this game too now this guy gave me existential crisis
Dude I think honestly without the waiting screens and if the timer would stopped right when u destroyed the brain I think your time is truly like about 9:30.
Can you add your setup to the description? Maybe a link?
I use a flashcart called a PowerPak that has roms on it. I play it in a top loader nes that I have running into a vcr since the US top loader is rf only. Then from the vcr I run composite cables to some splitters. I use another set of composite cables from the other end of the splitters and run those to a crt, and another set of composite cables to my capture card. The capture card I use is called a gv-usb2. And as the name would imply, it just runs out to my computer via usb. My computer is very primitive, and I’m not very tech savvy. So honestly my setup in that regard isn’t very great. Other people go to great efforts to make nicer looking streams, I just like to play games fast. Hope that helps.
@@Angrylanks have you made any effort on Off-road 64? It's my favorite speed run game.
Holy shit ggs well done man :)
Wow..almost a full 2 sec. save...amazing..gg amazing Angrylanks!!
