Line 15:
** The arcade versions 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 Eighties waiting for his mother to finish her grocery shopping.
* [[Porting Disaster]]: ''Contra: The Alien Wars'' for the Game Boy and ''Contra Advance'' for the GBA.
* [[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.
* [[So Cool Its Awesome]]: In spite of being insanely difficult (or because of it).
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: One of the final bosses of ''Contra: Hard Corps'' is an alien whose first form has a face resembling a human woman that distorts hideously when hit.
