Contra (US, Set 1)

The player loses a life if their character (Bill or Lance) comes into contact with enemies or their missiles, fails to complete a base stage before the time limit, or falls into a bottomless pit. When that happens, the character will revert to his default weapon in his next life. After losing all lives, the player can continue by inserting more coins (if necessary) and pressing START, but only up to three times. A second player can join in at anytime, but if one player loses all of their lives, they must wait until the other player loses their lives as well to continue together. The arcade game was released in three versions. The Japanese and American versions are virtually identical, aside from the Japanese version's use of kanji characters to spell the game's title. But in the European version, called Gryzor, only two people can play the game at a time, and they have to take turns.
