| [[Image:Contra_NES_enemy_11.png|left]] | | [[Image:Contra_NES_enemy_11.png|left]] Soldiers run across the screen and jump when they reach a ledge. They may fire bullets at you occasionally. In bases, they run or jump across the background, stopping to shoot at you before they leave. | ||

However, they can only fire directly upwards, so their bombs are usually easy to avoid. | | [[Image:Contra_NES_enemy_31.png|left]] They attack by firing a shell into the air that splits into three pieces before it hits the ground.

| [[Image:Contra_NES_enemy_51.png|left]] | | [[Image:Contra_NES_enemy_51.png|left]] Gunners attack from stationary cannons that fire large bullets at you. The bullets are fast, but the gunner pauses after firing three shots, giving you time to move into position. You can avoid getting shot by crouching. | ||

| [[Image:Contra_NES_enemy_81.png|left]] Floating aliens slowly move around and try to run into you; they have no other form of attack. They're easily destroyed, but be sure to take them out quickly, as larger numbers can overwhelm you. | | [[Image:Contra_NES_enemy_81.png|left]] Floating aliens slowly move around and try to run into you; they have no other form of attack.

They are stationary, but take a few shots to destroy. | ||
| [[Image:Contra_NES_enemy_83.png|left]] | | [[Image:Contra_NES_enemy_83.png|left]] Spores are smaller than floaters, and they are much faster. They travel straight for you, and typically end up moving into your line of fire. Watch out for the few that slip by. | ||

They must be destroyed in order to prevent further Crawlers from appearing and interfering with you mission. | ||
| [[Image:Contra_NES_enemy_85.png|left]] | | [[Image:Contra_NES_enemy_85.png|left]] Crawlers hop out of the hatches and run along the floor to reach you, or run across the ceiling and dive down at you. They will defend the heart that feeds the alien base with their lives. | ||
