JUSTIN BAILEY playthrough

Описание: Here's how to beat Metroid [NES] by using the JUSTIN BAILEY password. All you need is to get the Ice Beam and the Metroids will refill your Energy without the need for farm. I intended to do this glitchless but... well, the glitches found me.

The famous Metroid password JUSTIN BAILEY is in fact a pseudo-random coincidence where the password the game generates fits into two actual words on the first row that happen to be names and nothing but dashes on the second row.

The password spawns you in Norfair, suitless with 5 Energy Tanks, 255 Missiles, Mari Mari, Bombs, Long Beam, Wave Beam, Varia, High Jump and Screw Attack. Kraid and Ridley are defeated.

Weirdly, I ran into a handful of glitches.
When I pick up a Missile pickup for the first time my number of total Missiles goes from 255 to 205.
The lava looked like ice in the room before the Ice Beam room. Ironic.
The orange door in Tourian that needs 10 Missiles is already unlocked.
Some of the Zebetite are already destroyed but the ones needed to reach them aren't.
For some reason I got the "over 10 hours" ending where Samus turns away from the screen and weeps but it only took me less than 15 minutes to beat Mother Brain and escape. What's even stranger is that while testing this I got the "under 1 hour" ending where she's in a bikini instead and it took me roughly the same time from start to finish.
