Contra: Hard Corps

"Another way that Contra Hard Corps diverges from the main series? Hell of robots all over the place -- including as one of the four selectable player characters. Where most Contra games would have generic dudes in red uniforms running around shooting slow-moving, gigantic flashing bullets at you, Hard Corps fills the levels with robot foot soldiers. This has the benefit of giving Konami an excuse to make every single enemy explode rather than just backflip to death."
