Level 5 is an upwardly scrolling level. Keep an eye out for enemy fire whilst platform hopping, and shoot anything that moves. And, heck, shoot anything that doesn't move too!

The Level 5 boss is an escapee from the cover of a Metallica album. Shoot upwards to take it out, while dodging its skeletal projectiles. Just don't start singing "Enter Sandman" - the boss actually hates Metallica...Drives him mad, apparently...

 

:Level 6 shows you the Red Falcon's interior design skills. "Oh, Red Falcon...I love what you've done with the curtains in here, darrling!"


Level 6's boss hasn't had a date
in 20 years... I wonder why...

 

RRRGH! He took offence to the last caption! Run for the hills! (And wonder why that flying snake that enjoys circling you somehow reminds you of
Level 2's boss in R-Type...)

Level 7 forces you to enter the innards of the Red Falcon. "HAVE AT YOU, PURPLE BLANCMANGE!"

Level 7's boss appears to be the grim reaper himself. Or possibly Calista Flockhart in an early role, I'm not sure...Watch out for the acid it oozes. It hurts...

Either I'm on a hallucinogenic drug, or Level 8
is revolting. Take out the mouths spitting
fire from the walls if they annoy you...it
makes things easier.

 

Reach the end of Level 8, and the Red Falcon reveals itself. I thought the Red Falcon was male following playing through Contra, but now I'm not too sure...At any rate, blow the living ooze outta it! Get in close, and shoot up at its face diagonally. Just make sure you avoid the projectiles it flings, too...


"Die alien scum! DIE!!! HA HA HA!!!"
Sorry...I'm a sadistic sod. The Red Falcon goe up in flames, and I begin singing a certain Queen song...

 

"Another one bites the dust...Hey! Another one bites the dust...Hey hey!!!"

And so ends Super C. If you can make it this far, give yourself a pat on the back. It takes a truly skilled gamer to beat a Contra game!
