Contra III: The Alien Wars Restoration More Information
Contra III is the third installment of Konami’s classic platform-shooter series, as well as the series debut on the SNES. However, there are features present in the Japanese version that didn’t make it over to the American version. This hack is meant to restore these features back into the latter.
Said features include cheat codes, unlimited continues, and the ability to fight the secret final boss in Normal mode. Fans of the original game may be delighted to try out these features if they’ve never played the Japanese release. They aren’t total game-changers, but they are neat additions.
