Contra and Mario were games I had mastered. Contra I could do reliably with 3 lives. When I was in grade 2 I remember starting up Super Mario 1 and selecting 2 players because my friend was over. Beat the game without giving him a chance. The game didn’t even switch to Luigi after saving the princess.
I still get a feeling of pride reading those words. Even more when I didn’t use the Konami code.
I only pulled it off with three lives once. It was an endeavor.
