Castlevania has infinite continues until you turn the game off.

I'm actually having a hard time thinking of anything on the Genesis/MD that has infinite continues and falls under this category.

Ecco maybe? Valis III?

Shinobi III has limited continues but you probably won't need them.

Gunstar Heroes
Alien Soldier on baby mode
Ghouls n Ghosts of you want to start off "easy"

The GnG games are great for that since no matter how many credits or continues you scum you are not getting past a stage unless you stop sucking

beated all of them twice with the exeption of the very first one, I cant fucking beat the pair of red demons you get as bosses in stage 2

not retro but if you play the PSP game play the DX version, ir rebalances the game and removes the RPG aspects for an experience closer to the old games

Sanic games have limited continues but they are so easy to get, you'll get to the very last levels before you have to use them

Pic related has limited continues and while it's not easy, it's not ball-breakingly difficult either. Give it a shot.
