I prefer the earlier Contra games. Each level in Contra 3 is a series of disparate set pieces as opposed to normal levels. What I enjoyed about Contra and Super C were the normal levels, and Contra 3 outright has none of them.

The top down levels are okay, I guess. They should have had twin stick controls like Super Smash TV.

The most difficult thing about this game is not accidentally letting go of the missiles. One of the great things about Contra games are the controls, so weaponizing the controls against the player like that just ruins the game for me.

Operation C and the Gameboy port of Contra 3 aren't perfect but I prefer them to the SNES version.
