|info=Contra (魂斗羅) is a video game series composed primarily of run and gun-style shoot-'em-ups. The series debuted in 1987 as a coin-operated arcade game simply titled ''Contra'', which was followed by the release of ''Super Contra'' in 1988 and several sequels produced for various home platforms.
The in-universe use of the term "Contra" is first explained within the Japanese instruction card of the arcade version of ''Contra'', and reiterated in most games (including ''[[Contra: Shattered Soldier]]''), as "a title awarded to a superior soldier possessing almost super human drive and ability, while excelling in guerrilla tactics".
