Originally posted by flair I was just reading up on Kid Icarus when I saw this thread and found the old password schemes to be pretty interesting. I think I remember reading that NAR where initials for the guy who did the codes, and then password is obvious. If the Metroid code is similar to the Kid Icarus code, Justin Bailey could easily be a coincidence. |
Well the Justin Bailey code may be a random code, however it was printed by Nintendo in their magazine way back in the old days, which makes it an official code. That is why it's so well known.

I found the original thread about the nar password over at (gasp!) gamefaqs.com
http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gen...6037900&page=0 It is a good read if you have the time. I also found people saying the North American release like you said pixy. I also found this password: ENGAGE RIDLEY MOTHER ****ER all of it in caps, obviously the **** part is blanked by the forum censor. I tried it out, it works, but with some "odd" effects. |
Originally posted by flair ENGAGE RIDLEY MOTHER ****ER Heh, about the NARPASSWORD debate, the NAR could be a number of things, but we'll never know "for sure" unless one of the developers came out and said it. The only thing I'm curious about is why it was hard-coded into Metroid, and Kid Icarus had no hard-coded passwords. (Yes, ICARUS FIGHTS MEDUSA ANGELS is random, so don't even go there.) |

And the justin bailey code does work on the classic rerelease. |

That's one wrinkly looking t-shirt... :(
Combined with the hideously veiny, ropey arms inside, probably makes it one of the least appealing items of clothing I've seen for some time. Were we supposed to be commenting on the t-shirt? |
Man, Gameskins makes some pretty lame looking shirts, but that shirt has got to be the lamest of them all.

Originally posted by Breakfast with Girls Well, considering that it gives you everything, allows invincibility and infinite missiles, leaves all items and doors intact, bypasses all checksum routines, and Tohru Narihiro was responsible for the game's North American conversion (including the password system), I would say that it's almost certainly an official password. ;) |
I was playing around with Kid Icarus and stumbled upon this code:
PbPbPb PbPbPb PbPbPb PbPbPb Takes you to the last level how fun. EDIT: Or it just shows the ending I can't remember. |
