Contra Fun Facts

The Konami Code, famous for granting 30 extra lives in Contra, was intentionally created to help the game's developers themselves beat the game during testing, as they found it too difficult to complete.
The spread gun, arguably the most popular weapon in Contra due to its wide range of fire, was inspired by the developers' desire to create a power-up that made clearing multiple enemies on the screen feel more satisfying and efficient.
