Java

Emperor Demon Dragon God Java, or simply known as Java, is a character who appears in Abobo's Big Adventure.

Origin[]

Java is an enormous worm-like alien creature and the final boss of the first Contra game, on both the arcade and NES. He belongs to the Red Falcon army as its highest-ranking member and leader in the first game. Java is actually identified as two separate entities. His head and upper body are called "Emperor Demon Dragon God Java" while his heart is called the Gomeramos King.

In The Game[]

Java only appears in the background of the Continue Screen if Abobo ever loses a life and dies. He is seen with the game's major antagonists, Little Mac, Shooter Gavin, Old Man, Big Daddy, Robobobo, and The Amazon, watching Abobo's execution as the latter is chained and roped up before being killed by a razor blade.

Trivia[]

In the Western releases of Contra, Java was called the "Red Falcon" instead of his own name.
In the game's files for Abobo's Big Adventure, an unused image of the game's level select shows that Java is depicted as the boss for the level Contrabobo instead of Kirby. This unused screen implies that Java was originally going to be an antagonist in Abobo's Big Adventure, most likely being a boss in Contrabobo, but was scrapped during the game's development. This could possibly explain why Java appears with the game's major antagonists in the background of the Continue Screen.
