RE: Contra Force
Get out of a pit
If you are right in the middle of the game and about to fall into a pit, press Start. Now, while holding the jump button (A) press start again to get an extra boost out of the pit and save your life. Also, it is wise to play with a second player, so if your character is about to get killed, you can press start, eliminate that player, and as soon as the danger has passed, you can enter him in the game. Warning: This will cause your character to lose any loose suitcases that he is storing.
