The guy who has infinite supply of ammo and who destroys worlds bare-chested is back again! And this time he has a friend and a shirt with him.
A very colourful movie, with the author playing both characters at the same time (which is far from trivial to do).
This is a 25 second improvement from the precedent version, due to some new strategies and reduced lag. One boss is defeated so quickly that the game plays a new music track without stopping the one already playing!

Trying to strike a compromise with peace activists, the guy who destroys the world bare-chested has been ordered to stop an alien invasion while taking as few lives as possible. As such, this run completes Contra III: The Alien Wars by only killing the minimum number of enemies required to win the game. This requires much more careful dodging than the any% run does.
Our hero takes the dodging one step further by adding the limitation that he cannot shoot enemy projectiles. However, frustrated by the lack of carnage and by the political pressure, our hero lets off steam sometimes by shooting the scenery and doing entertaining dances and poses.

This very colorful movie by hero_of_the_day plays through the game with both characters at the same time (which is far from trivial to do), and approximately 12 seconds faster than the previous run.
For a movie that completes the game even faster using a warping glitch, see this run.

Here we have another game completely demolished by abuse of game breaking glitches.
The author initiates a glitch involving the character dying and gaining a 1-up during the fadeout to a Game Over screen. This allows him to skip many levels and complete the game in just 3 and half minutes!
For fast completion that does not use this glitch there is the 2-player version.

This is an improvement of almost 9 seconds over the previous run.

One of the best (and best known) shooters of the 16-bit era, Contra III: The Alien Wars forgoes any semblance of plot devices in favor of good old fashioned shooting and platforming with some tough as nails bosses, especially in this, the hardest mode.
Apparently not happy with an already amazing movie, Cpadolf felt the need to go on yet another black op, optimizing his distortions of space and time on the way to a 173 frame improvement.
This movie uses a 'warping' glitch to complete the game. There is also the 2-player version, which does not.

Note: There is also a lossless encode available in the discussion thread.

Trying to strike a compromise with peace activists, the guy who destroys the world bare-chested has been ordered to stop an alien invasion while taking as few lives as possible. As such, this run completes Contra III: The Alien Wars while only destroying enemies and obstacles if they prevent advancement. This requires much more careful dodging than the other run that avoids the warp glitch does.
Our hero takes the dodging one step further by adding the limitation that he cannot shoot enemy projectiles. However, frustrated by the lack of carnage and by the political pressure, our hero lets off steam sometimes by shooting the scenery and doing entertaining dances and poses.
This run improves the previous publication by 00:25.41 seconds.
