Contra III: The Alien Wars | SNES | Japanese 30 lives cheat!

Contra III is a hard game. I certainly never came close to completing it as a kid, and I certainly won’t come close to completing it (with 3 lives) as an adult. Luckily, the Japanese version of the game has infinite continues and a 30 lives cheat!

I suck at this game, I suck at most games, but I seem to suck especially at this one! I complete the game in this video, but I use well over 100 lives! If you’ve come here for a speed run, or a nice walkthrough, you’ve come to the wrong place!

The ROM hack that enables the 30 lives cheat and the unlimited continues that exist in the Japanese version is available here:

Press DOWN, DOWN+RIGHT, RIGHT and START (so like a hadouken in SF2) on the title screen, you will hear a scream, and then you have 30 lives.
