Playing one player in this run was difficult to accomplish. I used SNES9x v.1.43-dev. The .smv file won't work in any other version. Even in the finished version of v.1.43. I didn't stop recording the demo until the "beat the game" message comes up. So the ending time reads 15:39.
I start out with 3 rests and on Normal mode. I speed run the game without killing any enemies (with my gun) except at bosses/mid-bosses; and I use the "Beserk" powerup to my advantage. Not dying once. I also try to collect as many bombs as I can just to match the number of rests I have..
Some of the bosses were kind of annoying. The wall climber boss was the boss I had most trouble with since he kept moving up and down. I end up beating the Level 2 boss in around 2 seconds.
After seeing the other Contra 3 movie by Phil and Genisto, I learned that using two Crushes (or Contra missles if you will) work very well against bosses. As well at the "trick" with the metal balls versing the end boss.

Bisqwit: As the others have already pointed out at the forums, this submission could be a lot better. Rejecting.
