* The first stage Jungle theme of the first ''Contra'' game in both the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_BnGAq7wto arcade]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O04bPRzqEEk NES]] is naturally iconic and the first theme that springs to mind when people think of the first game aside from the brief intro music. Meanwhile, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5JlGQ5orL8 metal version]] of the Contra Jungle theme by [=VertexGuy=] has gotten [[ApprovalofGod approval]] straight from the original composer himself, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ykbfrf5uXY Hidenori Maezawa]].

The Contra franchise has its share of iconic themes, BGM, and remixes galore, which is to be expected of a Creator/{{Konami}} creation.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EcIJTPl5Qw arcade]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDIUWfSXWb8 Evolution]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GrKtnJSsMQ NES version]] of the boss theme for Base 1 and Base 2 have it all. An ominous beginning, a gradual panic-inducing crescendo, and an adrenalin-pumping climax where you really feel like you're in a life-or-death struggle against a seemingly unstoppable monster before it loops back to the start. It's so epic it should've been the final boss theme!
* In the first game, the arcade theme for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCzBF1Nx-cg Maze/Labyrinth Fortress 1]] and NES theme for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5ZVP5UWiH8 Base 1 and 2]] were so iconic that their melody was incorporated into the [[UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}} Filipino]] song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbKxoz1ZfiM "Bagsakan"]] by Parokya ni Edgar, Francis Magalona, and Gloc-9.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evAHGDkkilY Hotter than Hell]] fell onto LongSongShortScene in the Arcade version because it played during the short and easily dispatched penultimate boss, before reverting to the more eerie stage music. The NES version fixes this by letting the awesome song become [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZIIIxb_FUg the stage music of the corresponding stage]] (which became the sixth stage due to AdaptationExpansion) and then ''Contra Rebirth'' elevated it, alongside with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcApUEVa7G8 GTR Attack]], into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgpPvsaRoAU a boss battle music]], which dials the awesomeness right off the scales.
