Konami loves jerking people around with its classic secret code. On the Super NES, they altered the code to use the shoulder buttons instead of left and right; I think it was one of the Gradius games where if you input the old code using left right left right instead of L R L R, it would just kill you.

Gradius 3 started the bastardized version of it. I believe Gradius Gaiden and Parodius feature evil Konami code as well, with Parodius just stripping you of all power ups, complete with your character exclaiming "OH MY GOD!"
The machine gun is actually good in this game. Homing and Machine Gun combo helps against the stage 2 boss immensely.
How ya doing, buddy?
