After practicing for days and days trying to get better at this, i've finally got a good run of Contra Force i'm quite proud of. I don't know if it would be good enough to submit to Speeddemosarchive but I think this speed run turned out really well personally.

Stage 1 is probably my most practiced stage for the entire run, trying to get everything perfect and timed well, and I could've probably saved 1-2 seconds on the boss if not for jumping so much.

Stage 2 is the shortest level in the run because you can skip over most of it by walking along the rails on the far side of each of the ships. I chose not to do it on the 2nd ship because it would take a few seconds to go back to the left side to get on the little boats. And only yesterday did I find that you can walk right past the machine gunners in the sub, and the boss here goes down easily if you can get him to stop in a good place.

Stage 3 is hit and miss with jumps, I abuse the Pause Jump glitch a lot in this level to save time instead of waiting for the slow moving elevators and platforms, though a few places could probably be improved.

Stage 4 is the only one that bothers me with speed running this game, the enemy placement and their sometimes random fire patterns are very tricky to avoid, and the random missiles on the jets really make me nervous. The boss too is quite random when he will jump to another level or keep on the one hes walking on.

Stage 5 is probably the easiest of the levels because you can keep the Boss of the level on screen for most of it and have no enemies spawn. The last gap jump is stupid though because Iron literally cant jump high enough to make it, so I had to use the glitch there. The final boss couldve gone better if I wasn't so nervous about him walking off the ledge on to me but I still think I did good there.



All in all I think that this was a great run and I know it can be improved but as far as I know this is the fastest run on original hardware unless someone can prove otherwise which I hope somebody does. I want to see people do this game faster than me so strategies can be improved and can finish the game even more quickly.

Thank you all for watching this video and as always stay tuned for more runs of more awesome games.
