Semi Invincibility from Side Fighters in 1943 (NES) - A Wild Glitch Appears!

In 1943: The Battle of Midway on the NES, there is a way to essentially become semi-invincible by abusing a glitch to underflow the hit points of the side fighters.
In Mission 4 and Mission 13 you can acquire a powerup that calls two additional fighter planes to fight by your side. Not only do these side fighters increase your firepower, but they can also act as a shield to absorb three hits for you. After taking three hits, they will explode and you will not longer be accompanied by these additional fighters.
However, if these side fighters take their third and final hit just as the screen transitions into the boss area, the side fighters will follow you into the next section of the level, and their HP values will underflow to 127 or 255. Note that this trick cannot be performed on levels where there is no transition into a boss area.
Anyway, when your side fighters have way more HP than they're supposed to have, the game becomes a little easier.

Difficult is an understatement, this might be the hardest NES game that isn't a broken mess.

[@KarmaJolt]

Yeah this game has like 30 levels!

I wonder why 1941 wasn't released first in arcades. It went 1942, 1943, 1941, 19xx.

[@KarmaJolt]

Hmmm I guess I didn’t know that!

[@choppern3crozma673]

Hey, can i recommend you something? in metroid for the nes, go to the password screen and input "engage ridley mother f*cker". You'll have to see for yourself.

[@bildo1977]

I used to be able to clear this game without continuing.
Btw, one time I think I accidentally put in a previously undiscovered cheat code in the NES port of Gun.Smoke. What happened is that every boss battle was one on one without the endless supply of respawning goons. It lasted throughout the three loops of the six levels. I haven’t been able to duplicate it since.

[@KarmaJolt]

Whoa that’s neat! I’ll look into it.

[@mostbasedman1686]

“Side planes” made me angry for some reason. I now realize how stupid that is.
