Contra Force/Game Mechanics and Glitches
From SDA Knowledge Base
Character | Speed | Jump Height | Comments |
Burns | Good | Best | Beans jumps the highest. This is useful in stage 3 and he's nearly as fast as Beans so he can be used in stages 3 and 4 |
Smith | Okay | Okay | Average stats and no extremely useful weapons. Smith is not used for speedrunning |
Iron | Poor | Poor | Though lacking in other areas he can equip the flamethrower which is critical for taking out the stage 3 boss quickly in real time |
Beans | Best | Good | Beans has the best movement speed and a good jump height, he's used whenever possible |
