Neo Contra: Mini-FAQ ---------- Game: Neo Contra Platform: Sony Playstation 2 Developer: KCET Publisher: Konami Author: slateman Revision: 1.0 Date: 5th November, 2004 ====================================================================== Neo Contra is the 2nd Contra game to appear on Sony's Playstation 2 console. Straying from the side-scrolling perspective, this new game features an overhead 3D world. FAQ Notes: --------- This is not intended to be a complete walkthrough of Neo Contra. This FAQ is merely an overview of the features, controls and unlockables. I will include some individual level/boss help where applicable. ====================================================================== Controls -------- By default the controls are set as follows. Please note you can change these in the Options menu as the game offers several different types of configuration. X Evade Square Fire Weapon Triangle Lock On Circle [not used] L1 Cycle Weapon Back R1 Cycle Weapon Forward L2 Direction Lock R2 Movement Lock ====================================================================== Weapon Types ------------ In Shin Contra / Contra Shattered Soldier, the old tradition of weapon pickups was replaced with a 3-weapon type configuration. Once again things are changed here, and in its place is a selectable weapon configuration. At the outset, only 3 types are available, but more are unlocked as you progress (see Unlockables section below) The available weapon types are as follows: Weapon Type A Machine Gun Grenade Bomb Lock On Missile Weapon Type B Charge Shot Fire Whip Lock on Laser Weapon Type C Spread Shot Classic Fire Ball Lock On Thunder **Unlockable Weapon Types** Weapon Type D Lightning Bazooka Heaven's Laser Weapon Type E Drill Reflective Laser Fairy Laser Weapon Type F Ripple Laser G V Laser Variable Weapon Note that Set F contains the 'G V Laser', this is a tribute to Konami's Gradius series Lock-On ------- One of the other major changes to the Neo Contra system is the use of Lock-On weapons. In each set above, the 3rd attack is performed by pressing the Triangle button. You will see characters on screen with a green triangle highlighting them. This indicates that the only way to defeat them is to lock on to them. ====================================================================== Unlockables ----------- Initially there are only 3 weapon sets, 4 regular levels and 2 characters in Neo Contra. However, by playing through the game you can unlock additional items and features. Here is a full breakdown of these items. Unlockables & Requirements -------------------------- Stages ------ Level 5 Complete the first 4 levels (regardless of rank) Level 6 Complete levels 1-5 with an A ranking Level 7 Complete level 6 Extras ------ Music Box Complete the game once (through level 5) Gallery Complete the game twice (through level 5) Theater Complete the game with an A ranking (through level 7) Weapons ------- Weapon Set D Complete Level 5 Weapon Set E Complete Level 6 Weapon Set F Complete Level 7 Movies ------ Characters ---------- Katana Jaguar Jaguar II Complete the game with an S ranking Bill II Complete the game with an S ranking Lucia Complete the game in under 18 minutes on Normal Lucia II Complete the game with Lucia Levels ------- Playing through the game without obtaining an A ranking will only allow you to play the first 5 levels. In order to open up levels 6 and 7, you must beat the first set of stages with an A ranking. ====================================================================== Cheats ------ The classic Contra/Konami cheat returns, as expected. To play the game with 19 lives, enter the following command at the menu screen Up, Up, Down, Down, L1, R1, L2, R2, L3, R3 The L3/R3 buttons are the analog controllers. Click down on the controller. ====================================================================== GameShark Codes --------------- All codes are from www.gameshark.com GameShark w/ Media Player Codes ------------------------------- These codes are for use w/ the GS w/ Media Player only!
