      It’s not part of the actual code, technically. Select just switches to 2 player mode on the contra title screen, and start starts the game. If you played single player, ypu wouldn’t press select at all.

      And in gradius i think you enter it on the pause screen iirc, so start would resume the game there.

          Those are some good memories.

          We were always fighting over whether him dying meant we had to start over 😂

          Sometimes he’d just want to see me beat it

              Same, but we could get away with more at Grandmother’s house.

              There was still a limit, but it was more forgiving, and we were always looking for it
