Super Contra Cheats and Achievements (Xbox 360)

Super Contra is a side-scrolling shooter game developed and published by Konami back in 1988, as a sequel to the original Contra game. The Xbox 360 version features enhanced visuals, remixed music and co-op gameplay via Xbox Live. Super Contra for Xbox consoles was released on the 25th of July 2007.

Just like in the original game, the player can upgrade the default gun into a special weapon like the Machine Gun, the Spread Gun, a Laser and a Bomb gun. Unlike the other games in the series, the power-up icons are now represented by the actual weapons wielded by the character instead of the traditional letter-based falcon capsules. Both the initial arcade version (including all its ports) and the Xbox 360 version of Super Contra were considered successful titles.

We know that true gamers play all these games just for fun, as they should, and not in order to achieve specific point landmarks to prove to their friends they are very cool, but we also know that sometimes you just can't live without achieving everything possible with a title you really enjoy. If that's the case and you want to know exactly what to look for when it comes to this game, we have prepared a full list of achievements for you, along with one useful cheat. Good luck!
