What’s next for Arino in the fifth season? Nothing but the touching story of Bill and Lance; the eight-stage saga known as Contra. Arino begins the game and collects a few items, but the second he dies, the back panel from the TV falls off! Once that’s fixed, he picks up the spread gun in the game and continues to the end of the first stage. He perches on the top cliff and shoots out the gate turrets, and then slowly figures out to bust down the main door as well. Not a bad start! The underground base of Area 2 doesn’t start off too badly, either. Arino speeds through until he reaches the boss: another wall of turrets. He destroys them just fine until the real boss, the moving eye appears. He tries to be as clever as possible, but the boss’s projectiles are too much for him and he eventually dies. The second try’s a charm.
