The B button's used for going back in menus.

Pressing up at the first choice should bring you to the bottom-most choice in menus.

If you hold up it should keep scrolling so you can just keep going and going

If you have a selection playable characters to pick from, the girl will ALWAYS be fast but weak.

Also, the blue guy will usually be a blondie, while red has darker hair (unless you're playing one of those versions of Double Dragon where they had them switched outfit/hair colors).

Definitely dude.

>Start up game for the first time
>Get immersed
>Chaotic gameplay
>Music is also crazy
>Pour blood and sweat into beating the game in it's entirety
>Confront final boss
>Bust a nut defeating him
>Wind down with some pleasant credit music and pixel scenery or CGI
>Reminisce about the entire experience while the credits roll
>GAME OVER

I love it when games do this.
