Once again as a kid who didn't grow up with Contra this seemed like the coolest shit ever. Run-and-gunning through inventive levels where you're playing someone the size of a bottle cap in a human's world. I liked the mirroring of the levels around the halfway point, felt like a real "there and back again." The "Rave Dance Tune" music from the bonus level also completely rocks

there is only one good level in this game and its the final one the other levels suck ass. this spot is NOT COOL.

For a 7up mascot game this is pretty good.

I like the look of this game. I don't really remember much else about it.

Meh
It looks fine, controls fine (the momentum feels like poo tho), and the music is pretty alright actually.
Then fact there aren't any bosses, not even in the final stage, feels odd and sort of anticlimactic. Otherwise...yeah it's a fine game I suppose.
Now I want a Sprite.
