Contra Fighter is an bootleg hack of the NES game, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. Released by Sakano in the year, 1993. The original character sprites have been replaced by characters from Street Fighter, contrary to the hack's name.
Gameplay[]
The gameplay is identical to the original game, but all of the characters are replaced with ones from Street Fighter or other franchises. Mamiya (from Hokuto no Ken) replaces General Hawk, Ryu replaces Duke, Guile replaces Snake Eyes, Chun Li replaces Blizzard, Zangief is Captain Iron Grid, and Vega/M. Bison is Rock & Roll.
Like the original G.I. Joe, there are six playable characters, each with their own stats and abilities. A leader of the party will be chosen on each new level; the leading character cannot be changed, but two other members can be selected a changed from the menu. Ryu is the leader at level 1, Chun Li at level 2, Guile in level 3, Zangief at level 4, Vega at level 5, and Mamiya at level 6. If a character dies in the main game, the party member selection screen appears, prompting the selection of another character you have chosen in your party. Stamina works as a health bar; the more stamina the character has, the more endurance they have against the enemies. The player must get the character to the end of the level after finding spots to place bombs, whilst shooting down the enemies and avoid taking damage. At the end of each level, the characters will face a boss.

Trivia[]
- Genral Hawk in-game is unedited, the only thing different about him is the intermissions, that changes his sprite into Mamiya, a character who appeared in Hokuto no Ken.
- This game, despite being called Contra Fighter does not contain anything related to the original Contra. The gameplay style is similar, however.
