:'''Tri-Transforming Wall Walker:''' While you're underneath it will start firing missiles at you. Climb along with it and shoot the missiles that get close. When you've climbed far enough, you'll reach a part of the wall that will go inwards to reveal spikes all along the top and bottom. The boss will try to bash into you now but it's still fairly simple at this point. Watch out for the boss's fake thrusts followed by a quick bash into the wall. That's all you really have to watch out for on the lower difficulty levels. On the higher difficulty levels it will also move along the wall for a few seconds when it tries to bash you.

|title=Infinite lives
|contents=The Attack Ship spawns infinite enemies, which can be exploited for infinite points. Equip the [[Contra III: The Alien Wars/Weapons#Machine gun|machine gun]] and move as far to the left as possible so you can fire to the right. Enemies will keep coming and get killed by your bullets, racking up points, which translates into lives (up to 29). If you get bored you can tape the fire button down (or use a binder clip) and go do something else.

:'''Attack Ship:''' This sub boss is pathetic. It should be destroyed in no time at all. The first thing it will do is drop grenades around the middle, and then start dropping troops out of the sides of the ship. Start firing at it when it's dropping enemies down and you should be able to destroy it before it stops. If not, rinse and repeat until it's destroyed.
