Line 236:
*** The worst offender is "Critical Moment of Contra", a 2-minute tune played during a 30-second boss battle.
** For some reason, in the arcade version of ''Super Contra'', "Hotter than Hell" plays during the very short [[Penultimate Boss]] battle instead of during the [[Final Boss]] battle, which uses the same music as the main stage. And the "Game Clear Jingle" is misplaced, playing before the final boss instead of after.
* [[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.
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: The early Contra games had the main player character and several enemy characters changed into robots when localized for Europe for this reason.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Lance in ''Contra Rebirth''.
