Contra III: The Alien Wars [Normal] (SNES/Super Famicom Emulated)

Played on a RetroPie during livestream on Twitch. I actually died on Hard difficulty, since the game loops and raises the difficulty after beating the Normal mode. Gameplay begins at 02:50, score at 43:00.

Yes here

Thanks! :)

this looks like it was played on [Hard].

It was played on Hard on the second loop, as mentioned above :) And yes, I've set the difficulty to Hard in first 2 minutes of the game, but afterwards I did a hard reset and forgot to set it back, then started playing with default settings (you can see the ending for Normal difficulty on the end of the first loop).

ah, thanks.

I do see now the Normal ending at the end of the 1st loop.

Still this is confusing me.  At about 1:58 I see is where you reset and go back to the options again... but it looks like you set it to hard again.  After this 2-minute mark I don't see another reset...

so how did this happen?

Oh, nevermind I see!

reset @ 2:50

thanks Pearl  :)
