| Specific Rules: |
Play on default settings (US/PAL/JAP version). The Japanese version of Contra contains extra features not found in the US and Europe releases of the game, such as cutscenes in between levels and animated background effects such as trees blowing in the wind and snow falling. This was made possible by a special memory management controller (MMC) created by Konami called the VRC2 chip. Nintendo did not allow third-party developers to use their own PCBs and mappers outside of Japan, and as a result Konami was required to use Nintendo's UNROM mapper chip instead, which resulted in the removal of the cutscenes and special effects. |
