Play Rules
Games may be played on real hardware, Flashback / Mini console, or emulation, using any controller or keyboard, following all rules and game settings defined in the challenge. Choosing between real hardware or emulation, and choosing which controller to play on is part of formulating your strategy. Enhancements, rewinds and hacked versions of this game are not allowed.
Difficulty Level
We are playing on Spicy Mode. This will begin the game with 3 lives and an intermediate level of gameplay action. You are free to select your choice of AUTO, MANUAL, or ALONE at the Friend Selection Screen, and you are free to play the game using any TurboSwitches configuration you wish. When you are ready, press RUN to start.
Fair Play
Your integrity is everything. Players should play fairly, be honest, and have fun! Falsified scores will result in your immediate removal from the site. It goes without saying that we will not allow cheats, hacks, cartridge frying, enhancements, rewinds, deceitful photo manipulation, subterfuge, or any other unfair advantage. Everybody hates a cheater.
