Leave it to Contra to bring back missile-riding in grand style. The fourth level of Shattered Soldier begins with its heroes dangling from missiles under the wings of a plane…
Which almost immediately fires off its payload. YES NOW WE ARE BADASSES AGAIN.

Above: This isn’t actually so bad…
And then, suddenly, THIS happens:
Above: OH YEAH. GIANT ROBOT ON WATER SKIS. HOW YOU LIKE THAT ACTION?
Once the robot’s defeated, you can watch the fireworks as you zoom safely away, secure in the knowledge that you’ve wreaked unimaginable environmental devastation and are clinging by your numb fingertips to a supersonic death trap.
Above: WHEEEEEEEEE
