On the title screen of older NES games, the select button changed what mode you played in, then you hit start to start that mode/variation.

Ahh this makes sense. I played a lot of NES as a kid but must have just never encountered it

It was silly to have a dedicated button for it when pressing up and down to select options works just fine.

You always played the default game mode.
