Hard Corps is so much better! The different characters and lack of gimmicky mode-7 levels makes me prefer it over 3, though both games are still good.

I don't think there is anything wrong with Hard Corps. I think it is a great game too, but nothing compares to the co-op action from Contra III, my childhood friends and I loved it so much that we became excellent players and we never got tired of beating it over and over again. My skills are not even close as good as I remember them to be, but all that fun I had with the game was never lost. I still regard it as one of the best games ever made when it comes to pure action gameplay.

I'll naturally be using the superior PAL versions with awesome robots instead of lame humans to base my vote on.
Super Probotector is okay if you're hungover and need something less intense, or if you have a newly born hemophilia baby that needs something calm, basic and easy to play with.
However, if you're looking for a game that offers high speed robot action with lots of explosions and a challenge not aimed at teeny tiny infants or those suffering from migraines, Probotector on Mega Drive is clearly the superior option.

Super Probotector is a great alternative to Desert Bus and is highly recommended for those suffering from insomnia.

I'm surprised it's this close, I thought everyone knew Hard Corps was better. Not knocking Contra III though, I loved playing through both of them. I know some people had a problem with this, but I actually kind of liked the top-down sections in Contra III. My problem with them is that they just kind of messed with the overall pace of the game and the turning was perhaps not as fast or responsive as it should've been.
I personally give Hard Corps the edge because I felt it was paced better and had more engaging boss fights, even though playing through Hard Corps was a much more painful experience than III due to the difficulty gap between them.
