This is a sub-page of Proto:Contra (NES).

A store demo/sample of the Famicom version of Contra containing the first two stages.

After beating the Stage 2 boss, a couple of messages prompt the player to buy the game as of the release date to play the rest, after which the game resets:

Unused Levels#

The ROM contains most of the rest of the game, and the levels can be accessed with patch codes. However, sprites and other stage elements will display as corrupted due to those assets being removed to make space for the ad messages and functionality.
