Recent comment(s):
 | Brian 3 Dec 2015 11:51 I'm revisiting this soon. Also I'm pretty sure there's no in-game timer for a speedrun leaderboard. I plan on removing the achievement for beating the game on Hard without dying. | ||
| Brian 3 Dec 2015 19:40 Demoted 3. If you don't feel like the set is good, leave a suggestion, because I don't see how I can improve it further. | ||
| Brian 3 Dec 2015 19:42 Going to recheck the actual code of some of these soon, because it was only my 2nd set and I know the RAM in this game is bad. | ||
 | jeandelima 17 Jun 2016 23:37 Nossa vio, terminar no hard sem tomar um tiro. Tem que ser fodo mesmo. | ||

 | RossWyatt 26 May 2021 21:07 lol I quit before I beat stage 1, I took a look at the achievements and ultimately decided "forget this crap", I've already completed this game anyway on the Contra Collection on Xbox One | ||
 | Retrogamerdude23 20 Sep 2021 14:02 The game is already hard enough. Ridiculous cheevos. Looks like they have a fetish for "not getting hit" | ||
 | DenguinhoI 7 Mar 2022 13:28 MASTERED!!! check my channel to see tips how to master this game. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5029bRljlNnvZcO0k51HdA | ||
 | Apocalypse612 2 Sep 2022 01:14 Look how low the achievement acquirement rate is for almost half the set, which are the hitless achievements on an already very difficult game. Why do certain devs do this? Realllly lame, in my opinion, so I must agree with the others. | ||
