Glitch with StarTropics cart?

[Y2K]

Hello,

I bought a StarTropics cart recently on Craigslist. When I started a new game file, everything was performing as it should be. I listened to Chief Coralcola's warning and received the Island Yo-yo. However, the person who is guarding the entrance to the tunnel still says to get away from there, and that he doesn't know me.

Is this a problem with the cart itself, or does my NES need to be cleaned?

(By the way, I'm new! Hello!)

You need to talk to all of the islanders(including the pig, IIRC) before the guard acknowledges you as Dr. J's nephew and lets you pass.

Also, welcome to the forum!

Heh, really? Okay.

(Thanks.)
