*** In the same game, Browny is half the size of the other characters, lowering the chance of getting hit tremendously, has a double jump and is in possession of the Electro-Yo-Yo: a homing, long-range electric spike-ball-tipped beam that pierces through just about every single obstacle and defenses in the game and deals insane, continuous damage. You hardly need to aim with the thing, allowing you to concentrate on just dodging.

** The arcade versions of the first two games were intentionally made to be short, as most arcade games are meant to play in short sessions. A perfect playthrough of either game can be done in less than ten minutes, which is an ideal time period if you're a kid in the

* [[Scrappy Mechanic]]: The use of both dual screens in ''Contra 4''. In a game series where the player character [[One-Hit-Point Wonder|can't take much punishment]], the lack of visible space between them (to see incoming enemy bullets) can hinder things a fair bit.

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Political?]]: At the time the earliest games were released, there was controversy over the US, under Ronald Reagan, supporting rebel groups in Nicaragua called the Contras, short for ''Contrarevolucionarios'', or "Counter-Revolutionaries". This caused some minor controversy and may have contributed to European release of the arcade game being titled ''Gryzor'' (since support for the Contras was considered right-wing and heavily opposed in Europe) and why the NES version of ''Super Contra'' and the Game Boy ''Contra'' game were retitled ''Super C'' and ''Operation C'' respectively.
* [[Woolseyism]]: The localizations of the first two NES games and ''Operation C'' changed the setting from the 27th century to the then-present (as well as the names of many of the characters). This became problematic when ''Contra III'' featured an obviously futuristic setting, so they had to change the main characters' name and claim that they were the descendants of the previous heroes.
