[gnw_cgrab] G&W: Crab Grab - Reduced Input Lag/Alternate Control Options

[mmarino4]

Game & Watch: Crab Grab has sluggish controls compared the rest of the games in the series. These cheats provide alternative options with more responsive controls. Some of the options only allow you to move only one space when you press a direction, even if you hold it down. This prevents unwanted double moves that happen from time to time.
