Having each checkpoint award you with 45 additional seconds every time you cross to the next stage makes the game very easy and forgivable to many crashes. If good enough, you can plow through the arcade mode with each checkpoint giving you so much time that the timer gets to 99 seconds.

This is now my go to ROM patch from now on when playing ''Super Hang-On''.

Simple but very effective patch. Love it! 5 out of 5 stars!
