Soldiers: Soldiers run across the screen and jump when they reach a ledge. They may fire bullets at you occasionally. In bases, they run or jump across the background, stopping to shoot at you before they leave. Soldier : http://strategywiki.org/wiki/File:Contra_NES_enemy_11.png

Wall turret: Gray boxes with a rotating cannon are very common in the first half of the game. They're quite easy to destroy since they have a limited number of firing directions. They're initially inactive but when you get close to them, they'll activate and start firing at you: http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/b/b2/Contra_NES_enemy_13.png

Mines: Mines will slowly roll toward you from the back of the rooms, sometimes in a line, but usually randomly. You can jump over them with good timing, but it's usually easier to duck and destroy them with a few shots. They can also be tossed by soldiers as they run across the back of the screen: http://strategywiki.org/wiki/File:Contra_NES_enemy_22.png

Defense bot 1: White defense bots appear when you invade the power core of the second base. They run out from the sides, and leap down to stop you. Destroy them before they reach the floor: http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/1/19/Contra_NES_enemy_42.png

Alien mouths: The alien version of a turret, it is attached to floors and ceilings and attack by creating spores that home in on you rather quickly if you don't destroy them. They are stationary, but take a few shots to destroy: http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/b/ba/Contra_NES_enemy_82.png

Crawlers: Crawlers hop out of the hatches and run along the floor to reach you, or run across the ceiling and dive down at you. They will defend the heart that feeds the alien base with their lives: http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/7/7b/Contra_NES_enemy_85.png

Boss list

Galuga Base: These defense cannons only appear right outside of the entrance to the first base. Each cannon will lob explosives at the ground in an arc. In order to have a clear and safe place to shoot the door to the base, you should destroy these cannons first: http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/4/44/Contra_NES_enemy_15.png

Ocular fire: The boss of the first base, you will have to destroy this single eye, which can launch a ring of fire down to the bottom of the screen, before you can advance to the waterfall beyond. But first, you will have to take out the four power cores and two sets of guns that protect it: http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/4/4d/Contra_NES_enemy_23.png

Shadow Beast entrance: This is the defense system of the entrance to the second base. It is capable of shooting fireballs from its mouth and two hands: http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/b/b7/Contra_NES_enemy_32.png

Phantom image core: The boss of the second base is composed of two parts. Each instance creates phantom images that split up. It is only vulnerable to attack when the phantom images come back together. They release small bombs that can be shot down before they reach you: http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/c/c3/Contra_NES_enemy_43.png

Heavily armored vehicle: Contra NES enemy 52.png
These vehicles roll onto the screen, stop about halfway, fire bullets for a few seconds, and then slowly continue to the left. They have limited firing range, and you cannot jump over them. You must shoot at them continuously in order to destroy them before they run you over: http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/2/23/Contra_NES_enemy_52.png

Anti-gravity shuttle: The anti-gravity transport flies in at the end of Stage 5, and opens up to reveal a never-ending supply of soldiers who fly out to attack you. Bombs drop from the center. You must take the shuttle out to advance: http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/9/95/Contra_NES_enemy_61.png

Armored giant God soldier: You will face this hulking brute as you attempt to escape from Stage 6. He jumps around the screen and throws disk-like mines at you: http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/c/cc/Contra_NES_enemy_71.png

Alien head: This head appears near the beginning of the alien base. It's only attack is to spit out Floaters. Push yourself against the wall to the right and fire diagonally upward to hit the mouth: http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/c/ca/Contra_NES_enemy_86.png

Alien heart Red Falcon: After fighting through jungle, bases, waterfalls, and snowfields, you will reach the literal heart of the alien territory. It fuels the cocoons of aliens that have yet to be born, and must be destroyed before the Red Falcon menace takes over the world:http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/5/5f/Contra_NES_enemy_87.png
