Contra III - Level 5 Boss bug

[Zio]

So as soon as the sand started moving, the screen acted as if I was in a swirling sand piece from the level itself and not just on this regular sideways moving sand...I still randomly managed to beat the boss but SHEESH. Was playing Contra III alone on normal difficulty, Super Probotector didn't pose any problem

[Nacht der Frösche]

I think it just does that. If you want to counter the swirl just hold down the right trigger. If it moves left I think you should hold the right button, but if it moves right you hold the left button. Does it go like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9d9UCWZyVI
Edit: If you want I can go over some of the tactics to beat this boss

[Deathscare]

You are supposed to hold the steady aim button until you are aiming at the eye, it's not a bug

Look dudes, there's no nice way of saying this yeah, I don't know what kind of galaxy brain level thing made you think that after me beating both Contra III and Super Probotector and literally saying it was on normal while the same problem wasn't present on Super Probotector, that I needed your advice or ill advised comments.

How can you dudes think that I made it past 2 top down levels, one earlier top down boss, effectively beating both games and having all three related achievements (Contra III/Super Probotector/Beating all games) that I needed your dudes comments? Let alone help?

Maybe stop assuming whatever the ♥♥♥♥ you two were assuming. At least Nacht wasn't an ass about it, the initial assumption shouldn't have happened either though.

Just for the record, I KNOW how to TURN MY CHARACTER LEFT AND RIGHT BY PRESSING L/R RESPECTIVELY and I'm also well aware of double tapping and what else the ♥♥♥♥ could be mentioned here.

The turning DID NOT HELP IN MY CONTRA III NORMAL RUN, NORMAL, NOT HARD, NOT ACCIDENTALLY HARD, NORMAL.

I did make the mistake of not explicitly saying it was worse than it should have been, but it's not like that would have made any difference. You could have put two and two together and not just do your thing

I must have semi mastered this game on normal (I have beaten it several times and can beat it without using any continues), but its kind of hard to tell if something is worse than normal without video footage.

I know what you mean, got the same with Hard Corps :P
About the issue, well I've checked Youtube videos of several versions, played through versions in the collection a second time (up to that boss) just to be sure :/
I'm not too bothered by it because I'll probably not play it anytime soon again, and if then probably only Probotector where it's unproblematic, just thought I'd put it out here and leave it be

Well, the real game is on hard mode

I still haven't beaten hard mode yet and I must have beaten normal tons of times.

I know about the good weapons/weapon combos.
