Play Contra Advance (prototype) Online
Blasting through alien hordes with that sweet spread gun, just like the old days—except the sprites are chunkier and some levels feel rough around the edges. It’s unfinished, messy, and still kicks your butt like classic Contra should.
Contra Advance was an unreleased prototype for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Konami. It arrived during a period when many classic franchises were being adapted to the handheld, offering a portable take on the run and gun formula that defined the series on earlier consoles.
You control a lone soldier fighting through waves of alien soldiers and biomechanical creatures across side scrolling stages. The main objective is to survive each stage, defeat the boss, and advance. Signature mechanics include picking up power up icons that change your weapon, such as the spread shot or laser, and navigating environmental hazards like pits and moving platforms. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty remains high, demanding quick reflexes and memorization of enemy patterns. It feels like a direct, if unpolished, translation of the arcade experience into your hands.
