Oh man, I have so many memories with this game. My brother Jeff and I have a history with it. We actually owned this game, but we got it on sale from a movie rental place that was closing down.
So when the SNES was big, my brother Jeff was just a toddler. But he still enjoyed watching me play games on the SNES. Since I was big into RPGs at the time, he loved to watch me play games like "Chwono Twigger" and "Mario PG" as he called them. He also really liked Donkey Kong Country. In fact, "Donkey Kong' was one of Jeff's first words! And poor Jeff cried at the end of Super Metroid when he watched me beat it, because he was sad about the baby Metroid.
But as he got a little older, we wanted to find some games we could play together. Which was a little harder back then. Sure games like Smash TV and Contra 3 had two player modes, but they were a little too hard for a four year old like him (and for me, too, to be honest). Luckily we did find a few. Our favorite was probably Kirby Super Star, but we also spent a heck of a lot of time with Turtles in Time. Only problem is that when we would play, if I accidentally got one of the pizzas, Jeff would whine, "Mooooommmmm! Cary got the pizza!" So it was really hard to play the game when I couldn't recover my health! But we beat it several times anyway somehow. And give Jeff a break, he was only four.
We still joke about "Moooommmm! Cary got the pizza!" to this very day!
