The main reason I think the first Contra game is the best is because of the music and sound effects. The music is awesome, its fast paced and is totally badass. The music in the second contra is just not as good.
The graphics are awesome also. I think the sprites and backgrounds (in the first game) look alot cooler than in the second game. It has always puzzled me why the original Famicom version has animated backgrounds but the ntsc version of contra does not. In the first stage the palm trees move and in the snow field there is snow falling. Like why was this removed?

Also the top-down sections in the second game and contra III I find kinda boring. This is the main reason I dont play Super C more often because I hate the 2nd stage, i dont find it difficult just really boring.
