It’s a hack, not a retranslation, although the script has been cleaned up. Lots of minor tweaks and things to make this my ideal version of the far superior USA release. There may even be some undocumented Released June 12th 2021 BillyTime! Games June 12th 2021.

Contra Hard Corps Hit Points Restoration Hack
This is a patch for Contra Hard Corps (U) for the Sega Genesis. In the version of the game that was originally released in Japan, it was possible to take three hits before dying. For unknown reasons, this functionality was removed when the game was released in the US, making the game vastly more difficult in the process. This patch restores the ability to take three hits, complete with the life bar.
In addition, this patch does the following:
- Restores the three cheat codes that were also present in the Japanese version
- but removed from the US version.
(Note, however, that unlike the Japanese version, these codes are entered on controller ONE.) - Up to ten lives can be selected in the menu. (The default is three.)
- Player 1 and Player 2 can now select the same character.
- A new code is available that takes you to the game’s debug level! Press Left, Right, Left, Right, A, B, C, B, A, Up Down.
This small patch adds a new way to switch shot modes by simply holding down the MODE button on a 6-button controller. Holding the button down switches to stationary aiming while firing (Shot II), releasing it returns you to normal (Shot I) similar to how the R button works in Contra 3 on SNES.
