Contra 4 Challenge Video Guide: Speed Run 3

A video playthrough of how to complete the Speed Run 3 challenge. The two main tricks for this challenge is:
1. Making it through the first batch of enemies quickly.
and
2. Skipping one of the holes in the ceiling crush part.

Got a Contra 4 Challenge you'd like to see a video guide of? Just post it in the comments and I'll see what I can do.

Hey Tom, can you make one with bad guy blitz 4 and 5? I think those are the numbers. One of them is the on the jungle with the robots that keep rebuilding themselves, and then the blitz after that one. Thanks

[TomCaddie]

Here you go. Just add this onto the end of youtube's url, or go to my videos.

Slight change of address for Bad Guy Blitz 5. I noticed that the sound was screwed up, so I recorded a new run with the sound fixed. Here's the new address:

Yeah, you are running faster than normal.

[TomCaddie]

?_? You guys are imagining things. It might be because of the low frame rate that I had to record at, but I can guarentee that I'm running...normal speed.

I don't even know why I'm saying this. How would I be running faster than normal?

[rileyalex]

It's because it's stretched sideways, almost double the screen width of the DS, so when he runs sideways, it looks like he's running twice as fast. I noticed it to actually.

[TomCaddie]

OOOHHHH that. I recommend pressing the button that stretches or unstretches the window once so that it's at it's original resolution.

aww man i beat this level when the timer was: 00! Talk about last second!

[Pieisgood200]

i dont like how you did it

[kyukeido]

thank you this challenge is so hard!

[bickbenedict11]

I actually just beat this challenge, and I even had a couple of seconds left to spare. No joke. The trick is you got to jump onto that rope-thing before the counter even starts counting. You can jump before the screen pans fully to the left. Hardest part is getting past those purple blobs, but once you get past em it's cakewalk.

[VeryBoring]

Mmm, this one's a toughie. I completed it with :00 left on the clock. Really, minimal room for error.

[MultiWhore]

i couldnt beat it how did u kill the first purple thing so fast

[higihugo]

i barely made it, i had someting like less than a half of a second left but i made it : P

at first i climb up the rope, then shoot up to kill those 2 pink thingies, then just go for it.

[1HitKnockYouOut]

Just did the same right now. lol

[groudon266]

THANKS I finally DID IT!!!

[bzzhuh]

Ohhh... and the 3rd main trick is: you can start moving before the screen is finished painting. Thx Tom finished it now - very helpful.

[Age0Kings]

Thanks, this is helpful.
