checked-no =>Unlimited Continues: There are two ways around the three continue limit given to you by the game: 1) If you load a saved game from your "memory card", you'll always start with a new set of three continues. 2) If you are about to be knocked down for the third time, quickly use CNTRL II to add a new monster into the round and play using that monster. You should be able to keep going back and forth between CNTRL I and CNTRL II to add new monsters if your character is ever about to be knocked out of the game, and each new monster comes with three continues.
