In the arcade, those scores are only used in 2 player mode (records the best
wins in a row).  The SNES default has the best with 19 wins, and the 10th with
6 wins ... but GUESS WHAT?  It has no real use in the game, because once I had
9 wins in a row, and when I lost, it didn't ask for my name.

So that high score thing has no use for the SNES.
