This was done to compensate for the slower playing speed that makes enemies more predictable in the European version. The game now provides only 4 continues, whereas the US version provides 5.There are patches available for both the US Hard Corps and Probotector which attempt to make those games behave more like the Japanese version: among other changes, the life bar and button codes are restored, and an additional button code allows access to the debug room described above.Īs with all early Contra games, the European release was renamed to Probotector-in this case, without any subtitle, meaning it shares its title with the NES game-with its sprites significantly reworked to turn human characters into robots, ostensibly making the game less violent. The pain sounds when getting hit are still present in both international releases' sound tests. The Japanese version provides the player with a life bar and infinite continues, while international versions drop the number of continues to five and ditch the life bar in favor of one-hit kills.

Alternatively, the below patches to these games restore all cheat functionality. The patch code FFFA4C:01 (usable in either game) enables the level select as seen in the Japanese version. The code which checks for these patterns remains but was dummied out in the western Hard Corps and Probotector releases. If playing a two player game, this will give both players all weapons. If performed correctly, a digitized monster screech will sound to confirm. All Weapons: Up, Up, Down, Down, A, Up, Up, Down, Down, B, Up, Up, Down, Down, C.The third code is entered on the pause screen, back on the player one controller. Entering the Options screen after this will show 70 lives set, although if changed it will again be locked to a maximum of 3, requiring the code to be entered again. If performed correctly, a digitized woman's scream will sound to confirm. 70 Lives: C, B, A, Right, Left, C, B, A, Right, Left, C, B, A, Right, Left.
The game is fairly flexible about the code, so while the correct code begins with "Left", the mistaken sequence will eventually work if repeated long enough-specifically, four times). (This code is frequently stated incorrectly online as "A, B, C, Left, Right". The rather spartan level select screen will not appear until the player starts a game and selects a character. If performed successfully, a digitized "Yeah!" will sound to confirm.
