Somebody suggested me to do a whole endings run with whole characters many years ago. And now, I wanna do it. Because I love Contra. And this one on genesis is the best game of Contra. Many characters, many endings and many many bosses.
Until now, there are 3 endings of this game on this site. But not entertaining enough. Because they use the same character - Fang. I did a 2 players run using Fang and Browny before. But rejected because of its low emtertainment.
Firstly, let me show you all the endings of the routes.
1. Choose a route at the end of the stage 1. (---A or B)
2. Choose a route in stage 6(Enemy's stronghold). (---A or B)
3. Choose a route if you surrender to destroy the world with enemy in stage 9(The last stage in best ending).
If you choose "承知した", then game over screen will appear after the plot. You can choose continue to go back to that stage. So I don't know if this one is an ending. And I don't want to choose this ending then go back to the game to the best ending in my run. It's boring and not necessary to see the gameplay in that stage twice.
4. A secret ending in stage 4.(集積場)
So 5 endings in total.
Secondly, I'll show you which character to complete which route.
1. Secret ending.
Ray beats secret ending. Ray's weapon is the lowest. So I choose him to beat that shortest way. 4 stages in total. (Stage 1, 2, 4, and 13)
2. A to B(Same as
bad ending.)
Sheena beats this ending. Her weapon is stronger than Ray's but lower than Browny's. 5 stages in total. (Stage 1, 2, 4, 5, (6), 12)
3. B to B
Browny beats this one. 6 stages in total. (Stage 1, 3, 4, 5, (6), 7, 11)
4. A to A
Ray & Sheena beat this ending. 6 stages in total. (Stage 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 10)
5. B to A.
Browny & Fang beat this ending. 7 stages in total. (Stage 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9)
Note:
1. Weapon damage: Ray < Sheena < Browny < Fang.
2. I don't use single player with Fang. Because it's enough on this site.
3. You can use 2p to press triple "left, right, A, B, C" on the main menu, then you can choose a level which you want to enter.
4. I won't use that key to enter the level I want. I want to give you a good show of this game. A complete story in every route. Also, different character has different styles.
5. I will use BizHawk to run the game. Because Gens doesn't allow to reset game in a movie.
6. Route A to A is a traditional ending. There are many abnormal enemies in last stage. And Route B to A is the best ending of the game. So I use 2 players in these 2 endings.
What's your opinion?
