the letter "O" in "SWORD", the remaining characters
are the number zero. You will start at the beginning of the game
with unlimited life, unlimited missiles, and all upgrades. The
word in this is "NAR PASSWORD". "NAR" is an
abbreviation for the name of the person who designed the password
system, Tohru Narihiro.

Hint: Play as Samus without her suit: Complete the first quest without dying and with all
the items (ice beam as your gun weapon). Press Start after
the credits have completed. If you have completed the game correctly,
Samus will take off her suit in the ending. You will start with
all your items you gained in the previous quest minus your missiles
and suit in the next game.

Hint: Refill energy easily: Go to a pipe that has enemies constantly appearing
at ground level with no other enemies around. Just keep shooting
and the enemies will fly into your bullets, leaving energy and
other items.

Hint: Defeating Kraid: Use the Ice Beam to freeze the center spike in mid-air
as he shoots. Then, use your missiles to shoot the bare spot where
the spike was located.

To defeat Kraid fast and easily, morph into a ball and start planting
bombs all over him until he is defeated. To make this easier,
you must get the Varia Suit and about three Energy Tanks.
Hint: Defeating Ridley: Note: This requires a lot of missiles. When you are
on the platform, go to the little step where Ridley is located.
Weaken him with normal shots, then shoot him with missiles until
he is dead.

Hint: Shooting walls and ghost walls: In various parts of the game, you may find yourself
blocked or cut off. You are either stuck or you can try shooting
the walls around you. If you are lucky, one of the blocks will
break. If it does, continue shooting until you cannot shoot further.
Then, jump and try moving to the left or right. There is usually
a ghost wall that you can go through. This trick is useful for
gathering power-ups and finding secrets.
