I used to think I was pretty hot stuff, because I could beat the original NES Contra with just three lives, but the guy who made this video totally eclipses the thumb-callus-inducing quick reflexes I once possessed. Not only does he fly through the levels, he is extremely conservative in his shooting, only firing a bullet if absolutely necessary. You will be especially impressed by the dancing—I mean jumping—to dodge enemies.
