The Shop is a bonus gameplay option in the Contra series.
Description[]
Appearing within the later titles of the Contra series, the Shop is a bonus feature in a game's main menu that allows a player to purchase gameplay upgrades via a type of currency. Some upgrades may require a specific requirement before obtaining. Upgrades generally appear within a shop and can be used to customize a player character to their liking, before heading out into the heat of a battlefield. Some upgrades are shared by all characters (purchased individually for each player), while other upgrades may be specific upgrades exclusive to a character or two.
