Super Probotector Sample

This is a sub-page of Proto:Contra III: The Alien Wars.

This build of Super Probotector is found on North American cartridges, which is kind of peculiar for 2 reasons. First, the Probotector games are the European localizations of Contra games, so it's interesting that these are on NA cartridges. The other is that across the several identical-looking copies of this sample cartridge that surfaced to date, you'll either get the final/retail build or the sample discussed on this page.

General Differences#

• Level select and 30 lives cheat enabled by default. You can set the life counter up to 30 in the options menu and starting any of the 1 or 2 player modes brings up the level select screen.
• Game hangs when the last/second-to-last boss just appears; the music continues to play, though. The screen either goes black or the image freezes.
• Demos are out of sync, but they also seem to be different recordings from the final (and the other regions, even).
