For example, enemy bosses, when fought on harder difficulties, will have new attacks or modifications to their already-existing attacks patterns. Each increase in difficulty setting also alters several aspects of the game. There are three levels of difficulty in the game: Easy, Normal and Hard. The player can also lock their character's mobility, allowing them to shoot at all eight possible directions (including downward and at angles) without moving or jumping. They can also fire these two weapons simultaneously in a spin-jump circular fire pattern that hit enemies on all sides however, being hit while doing so results in the player losing both of their weapons. Players can carry and switch between two weapons at any time, only losing the one they are currently using if they die. New styles of levels in The Alien Wars involve motorcycle chases, riding on missiles, and two Mode 7 enabled top-view levels. For instance, players can grab onto poles or ceilings and navigate them in a monkey bar fashion, climb walls and ladders, destroy buildings and scenery, and commandeer tanks. The level design is more complex and provides more opportunity for interaction.
Taking advantage of the technology provided by the Super NES, the graphics in Contra III improved upon the NES versions of the first two installments, bringing it closer to the quality of their arcade counterparts. Likewise, the alien invader was once again changed to " Red Falcon". However, the identities of Bill Rizer and Lance Bean", the original Contra heroes, were changed to their "descendants", Jimbo and Sully, maintaining the continuity of the previous localizations.
Unlike the previous Contra games for the NES and Game Boy, the futuristic setting was kept for the American version. Set in the futuristic year of 2636 A.D., the alien invaders that were defeated during the previous installments have decided to launch a full-scale war against mankind on Earth, starting the " Alien Wars".
