Player 2 sidekick pickups

In two-player games, a sidekick that player 2 picks up during a level is turned into a pair from a fixed table. Picking up the same sidekick again raises the pair one level, up to level 3; another sidekick starts over at level 1. Sidekicks numbered 16 and above in the item table go on both sides unchanged. In one-player Arcade games, a pickup simply puts the sidekick on both sides.

One name: the same sidekick on both sides. Two names: left + right.
