Volume 7 of the DS Download Stations features a one-level demo of Contra 4. The differences are reminiscent of the June 27 prototype, especially due to the lack of music and some sounds.

General Differences

  • No 2 player mode, understandably.
  • Only the Jungle stage is playable.
  • Missing music and some sound effects.
  • Difficulty seems to be based on the final's Normal mode, although it starts you with 4 lives instead of 5.
  • Can't gain extra lives.
  • Your powerup weapon icons never change from the default/Normal falcons, even after picking up gun powerups.
  • The demo ends as the second phase of the stage boss begins, shifting away from gameplay to a "Coming Soon" screen. The demo then resets.
    • Losing all lives also resets the demo.
