Who is "Justin Bailey"? (Metroid reference?)
Gameskin's has this t-shirt for sale, what does it mean?

"Justin Bailey" (followed by all dashes) was a password for the original Metroid that gave you all upgrades, but made Samus not have a space suit on. Contrary to popular belief, Justin Bailey is not a real person.

Thanks Jeremy517.
I thought for sure that Pixy would answer first. ;) |
Justin Bailey is also said to actually mean
Just In Bailey - Bailey being an Australian word for swimsuit, where as when the code is input Samus is running around Just In her skivvies (looks like undies or a swimsuit) |
All crap, CRAP CRAP CRAP!
JUSTIN BAILEY is just one of over thousands of real word passwords that happen to work in the original Metroid, it has NO significance to anything EVER, never did and never will. Bailey does NOT mean swimsuit in ANY language. The code was printed in Nintendo Power (I think) years ago and has grown into some stupid myth. Anybody who actually thinks this password is the way to play as Samus without her suit obviously (VERY obviously, I might add) never actually beat the game. It's only a coincidence blown WAY out of proportion. |

That's a lot of people posting passwords and info that have never beaten the game. |
Enhance your calm PixyJunket.
The real question is will anyone buy the shirt? http://www.metroidgalaxy.com/metroidone/ssm5.gif |

Yes I know what happens when you beat the game, but I also guarantee you that the code does in fact let you play without the suit (and with all weapons). Try it. (There are rumors that the code was removed from the Classic Series re-release. I can neither confirm nor deny this.) |
Originally posted by warcp You seem pretty confident: The password works, and the password does enable you to play without the suit. However, I can give you a few thousand passwords that allow you to play without the suit, JUSTIN BAILEY is just one of them, and it holds no significance. The "bailey = swimsuit" thing is a fabrication created by Metroid fans desperate to believe that the JUSTIN BAILEY is not just a random password (which it is). |
hmmmmm. Has Pixy "VERY obviously" not beaten the game??
|
Originally posted by Jeremy517 Are you saying that you don't think that the code lets you play without a suit, or are you just debating the Australian swimsuit part? |
Originally posted by PixyJunket I'm arguing that this is not the "de facto" method to achieve this; it is simply a randomly generated password among thousands that happen to have this feature of the game enabled. |
Originally posted by Jeremy517 OK. We're in agreement then. :up: |
Originally posted by PixyJunket I am 100% correct. The password works, and the password does enable you to play without the suit. However, I can give you a few thousand passwords that allow you to play without the suit, JUSTIN BAILEY is just one of them, and it holds no significance. The "bailey = swimsuit" thing is a fabrication created by Metroid fans desperate to believe that the JUSTIN BAILEY is not just a random password (which it is). You seem to directly be saying that this password does not make Samus lose her suit, aren't you? That's all I'm saying. |

Originally posted by DVDKrayzie ill try that when i get home. isnt that a zero wing mistranslation reference? how does that work in a game from 1986? |
I was just reading up on Kid Icarus when I saw this thread and found the old password schemes to be pretty interesting.
No passwords that spell something out are intentional to my knowledge, as the only thing required for a password to be accepted is the checksum. Kid Icarus accepts 64^22 out of 64^24 posssible passwords - that's a lot. Just punch in whatever text you want, and as long as the last two characters (the checksum) are correct, the password is accepted. There are no hardcoded passwords that I know of either, unlike the single hardcoded one in Metroid (NARPASSWORD followed by five zeros and any characters after that). |
Well, it works because Metroid codes work like Mega Man codes. The some-1 set-up us-the B0MB11 code gives you no suit and you have the Screw Attack, just about full missiles, the Wave Beam, and maybe a couple other things. It also starts you out in a different location.
