Contra 3 - OST The Final Gauntlet

[supereldinho]

At part 3 you know this is IT...

[dbostick82]

2:54 gives me chills

[PoIaris]

Music is awesome, level is awesome, game is awesome even the fucking box art is awesome!

[harizotoh7]

Part II is taken directly from the Predator score.

[TronPachioftheDynamo]

@harizotoh7 Link? I wanna hear.

[FireBomberBassist]

Classic SNES music at it's best. Almost movie quality sound.

[Joelomite]

@NiggadickJaxHD oh chill out. I was just having some fun. I was saying how the music says "you are in serious trouble" and are about to face something terrifying. I wasn't being literal. Read my post again and you'll probably laugh this time :-)

[kinmanyuen]

this track should be remade by a worldclass orchestragroup!

[ernioporto]

Red Falcon, the best video game boss, ever. So challenging, so evil.

So fucking impossible. Awesome score, too.

[Joelomite]

At 0:21, it sounds like you're marching to the principal's office....and you're in serious trouble.

[Rodriquez124]

This music never gets old, always fascinating how this old soundsystem could create such athmospheric tracks.

[Benjamingful]

Red Falcon disliked the video.

[Karmoon7]

Let's be honest...the music in this game puts more action film scores to shame.

[Martialart07]

1 thumbdown has absolutely no taste in video games or music

[nerfhunterseph]

is it just me, or does 3:30 sound like something monstrous is breathing?

[TheLinkmaster007]

OMG The piano in the second part is awesome cool! Feels like im in a terror movie!

[tibuking]

Musica de tension como esta no hay en los videojuegos en estos dias!!!

[delt01]

hey, i did a MP3 several years ago with the stage 6 beginning, fadeout, then all 3 parts of this (which i called segments 2, 3, 4) all seamlessly looping into each other. Can't find it off the top of my.... hdd, though =(

And yeah the third segment (part 2 here) was always my fav, and clearly it's the most heavily influenced by Predator :D

[goldengirlsben]

@delt01 Totally influenced by predator lol

[SkellionPowalskiz]

I always called the dragon boss Ridley after playing Super Metroid as a kid.

[truearea53]

Oh man I remember this half epic half horrifying monsterous music when I was a teenager. Its like your at the monsterous hive where they will not stop multiplying till everything on earth dies O_o

[Omegax9000]

One dislike must be the blue alien that got his head ripped off!

[Rodjeurs]

Holy shit, part 2. It's like vibes of badassing everywhere.

[IntervigiliumSleep]

Thanks for this. I remember it taking a long time to find.

[WeskerLogan]

Drrakkkee gett to the chopaaa!!

[RonncitoXD]

i dont know why, but the second music remember me to alien movie o_o

[drweegee123]

rofl iwbtg final boss music

[Soeufans]

i loved this music when going to kill that dammed dragon/gargoyle flying thing!!!! i hoped it was more harder to kill him!!!

[JaxTheNiggadick]

The Ownage Begins on 1:21...

Contra 3 is Boss

[Mithferion]

One person could not finish this game. :D.

[Rodriquez124]

Some maggot slipped off the Like button! How dare you!

[jeabl]

excelent music for the best Contra game

[whostolecarlosrox]

The music matches so well as you fight the final abominations of the alien race. All freaks in their own way. Love how the music perfectly portrays that slightly disgusting and freaky tone.

1:22 kinda sounds like Danny Elfman's music, especially the first Batman. Awesome music. I love how the music evolves over time, especially when you're fighting the last boss which is a total monstrosity.

Why can't games be like this anymore? Even Contra Rebirth (which is still good) couldn't hold a candle

[TonyCheetah]

@whostolecarlosrox Play Contra 4, 's good times.

[Anemite]

@TonyCheetah awesome game

my favorite contra by far (specially because isnt as hard as COntra III and have a LOT of replay value)

[aryinc]

serious man howcome snes sounds better then neo geo aes quality wise?.i prefer the genessis contra because it's rawwer but this is also a very nice game.

[tenta01]

I love the song part vs Neo Dragon

[Anemite]

the remake version of this song in contra 4 is still more awesome

[RakuenDarkBebop]

30 lives were not enough!!!!

[basszguy123]

Sonic Advance 1 Bosses 1 theme! (part 2)

[mustardgas2]

i love how this music was used again in Contra Shattered Soldier for ps2

[JaxTheNiggadick]

1:22.... Is why this Game is Dope...

[ddumass13]

why can't I find the sound for stage 5 of this game anywhere?!

[tickleurgeespot]

nooooooooooo!!!!!  head for the chopper!!!!

[Blackmario16]

1:23 I Wanna Be The Guy :O

[paladin400]

badass humans fighting against aliens , mmmm, gears of war. anyone???

[mangaka350]

@paladin400 FUCK GEARS OF WAR THIS SHIT IS EPIC!!!!!!

[paladin400]

yeah....... what I meant was that gears of war is based on this game, not the other way around. I do think this games is better though

[kerbal666]

@paladin400 How is GOW based on this game? Theyre nothing alike!

[paladin400]

the idea......not the gameplay

[paladin400]

yeah....... what I meant was that gears of war is based on this game, not the other way around. I do think this game is better though

[alanfecu]

cancion de depredador , ese juego era lo maximo !!

[paladin400]

one of the best snes games ever

[kinmanyuen]

1:23 music reminds me of the movie "the predator" ^^

[Askaluccio83]

best game of the life

[bune88]

this music used to scare me a little the fist time I played that stage, I was like "oh gawd! something's going to kill me here. I feel it!"

[pumasoledad2001]

@ 1:24... that's epic alien terror music

[AvgnFanSite]

This is my favourite stage.

[vfIskullangel]

This song is from the Predator!.

[samusmex]

lol, i be heard what the song of the second stage, when you most choose where spawn, is from the raw

[ThePoisonEye]

Amazing music quality, the SNES was a fantastic machine!!

[kinmanyuen]

@ThePoisonEye

this is amazing... they could squeeze this whole game in the size of one mp3 file ^^

and Sega megadrive sucks in both music and sound

[Tonytambe]

I Forgot Those Look Pretty Neat But Contra Legacy Of War Was A Downer C The Contra Adventure Looks Decent

[Tonytambe]

Inmagine If You Had 0 Lives And No Continues That Would Be HARD AS AN EVER LOVING SAVAGE MURDER

[Tonytambe]

The New Contra Games Suck Balls Contra 1 2 3 And 4 Hard Crops Rock My Socks Those Games Were The Balls I Love Them Good Bye Old Games :'(

[kibjohn]

@Tonytambe

Shattered Soldier for the PS2 was decent. But HOLY FUCK, is it HARD as GOD KNOWS WHAT!!! Contra ReBirth on WiiWare is also good.

-kidThunder

[Jizu16]

have your tried Contra4 ? i almost love it as much as Contra 3.

[KesorodaBlk]

The descriptions on the box are always win!

[jmks0]

awesome remember when you finally beat the brain and then ...what!!! not over? yeah!!!!!! come for more you upgrated-super-robo-alien-brai­n

[ningeaBLADEclanuBECA]

this reminds me of aliens,terminator & predator:)))

[simplyxwilliam]

i like part 3 the most out of all

[mothbomber95]

This music's boss is most fucked up thing evar! but its soooo cooool

[hybrinoid]

2:56 when i first heard that part when i first played the game, i was like, "Holy shit..." and i knew i was in for some serious fighting.

[BeeSee123]

1:25 sounds like you are about to get your ass kicked :D

[42playaz]

Cinematic Overture straight bass!!

[CrescentWolf879]

I WILL CRUSH YOUR TINY BONES

[TheHeroForce]

The Great Song From The Super Nintendo.

[elsephi]

last stage music is just awesome imagine that with a real orchestra!!!!

[SaviourV]

You just got your wish. On Galbadia Hotel, the "Contra Spirits" album has a MIDI-arranged version of this music. ALL 3 PARTS, officially arranged by Konami.

In all their terrifying glory. If you want fear, this is the real stuff.

[elsephi]

thanks i just downloaded it it's great!

[SaviourV]

I hate to say it, though, but virt kind of let me down when he made HIS version of the Final Gauntlet for Contra 4 (DS). Or perhaps WayForward used his parts in the wrong places.

[ningeaBLADEclanuBECA]

oh,i got it from the site vgmuseum:)

[ghettoprince187]

That would win best music in the Video Game Awards.

[MrDanny9081]

this song so brutal and awsome

[goldengirlsben]

Part 2 is deffo a Predator beat, love it.

Fave part however is number 3, love the way the music on some parts of it sounds like a deep alien breathing/growling, and 3.46- 55 is great. One of the best boss themes on all the games I've ever played.

[John2137]

FUCK YEAH!!!

[CutManRules]

Part 2 FTW

[torunho07]

The second song is one of my favorites.

[gladeplugins]

1:22, the start of my favorite part!

[wmgriff]

THe good ol days.

[mikexlong]

this is probably the best video boss music ever

[sonicteams]

these soundtrack and maybe the enemies just gives me the creeps a little, but i still dare to fight them

[xboyindahouse]

the music sounds like Predator & Aliens

[KKanji1979]

I know, Game Over man, Game Over

[goldengirlsben]

I don't know why you was thumbed down for that....the game and its music was influenced by the likes of Aliens and Predator movies back in the 80s.

[vfIskullangel]

@goldengirlsben And Rambo, Cammando is the main characters of the game.

[jeabl]

@goldengirlsben and terminator 1

[Brandon5l9]

@goldengirlsben Thats why this will always be my favourite Contra

[heerogunkenobi]

your right it does the part 2 music almost sound like the going after newt track from the aliens score

[THEMANIZZME]

any time i here this song on the game, im like sh%@ hard boss coming up

[Nattakorps]

the dragon was actually really easy... compared to the final boss. or in hard mode, the armored boss. oh god if you didnt know how to do it...

[mab5458]

*horrified by music*

[achmedlolol]

This really got my blood pumping back in the day

[kinmanyuen]

Damn masterpiece with lowtech instrument samples!

[zzzra86]

One of the best soundtracks of the good ol' SNES.

This track really has a hellish nature to it, it makes me feel like I'm in Hell fighting against the toughest bosses in the world one another.

The last stage of Contra 3 is so freakin' hard but still so freakin' enjoyable

[ningeaBLADEclanuBECA]

yeah,like 6-7 bosses in it!

[MECHASWORLD2020]

@ningeaBLADEclanuBECA only 6, i've counted. 6 bosses on the sixth and last stage.

[peanut3423]

Part 2 is just amazing, yet so terrifying. I can see why Kayin chose it as the final boss music for I Wanna be the Guy.

YES, I DID HAVE SEX WITH YOUR MOTHER.

[ningeaBLADEclanuBECA]

THE MOST BAD ASS OF BAD ASSES!!!

[Garunai]

adoro todos los temas de contra 3 , como juego y como fondos de musica es genial unico jamas olvidare este juego es unico

[jacko39]

thats battle music.

[vampirobrm]

yeah!!!!, this song scared me when i was a child. big times!!!

[Fel1230]

3:08 - 3:24 is great!

[Fel1230]

Red Falcon part is the best!

5 stars xD

[somahiru]

man the first is one of my favortes track of the game!!!

its makes you fell desesperated and need to kill quick that giant thing.

sadly the soundtrack was reaally bad in the gba transition

[bleachkiller39]

Part 2 it's i wanna be the guy
