Then could you tell me how to get that d*mn "sword". :x
I dunno if I should spoil the fun, but the Narpas Sword doesn't actually exist. The password NARPAS SWORD, iirc, gives you invincibility and unlimited missiles.
imo it stands for "Narihiro". Don't see why it would mean "North American Release" when there were other passwords available on the North American Release (why not start them all with "NAR"?), and it sounds like something a Japanese password system manager would do for a bit of fun.
I was wondering when someone would spill the beans...
(BTW: Wikipedia has a full-blown section on the NARPAS SWORD that could have answered your question...)
On a more serious note, has anyone gotten the info from Nintendo about what exactly it means? (NAR PASSWORD gets my vote, but there's NARPAS'S WORD, and the sword as well...)
I actually solved it a while ago. I was playing with Samus with her red hair and got the Varia, and her hair turned green. I also entered the 000000 000020 000000 000020 code and she had red hair, then tweaked the password to give her varia. Voila, green hair. So yeah. Varia = Green hair, no Varia = red hair.
Oh... Well, I'm both elated to know the truth and feel so... damn... dumb... for asserting that a green/purple Samus was only the result of the NARPAS SWORD0 code. Yeash, I must seem so dumb to anyone that reads those, and I feel bad if anyone that doesn't know better takes that as truth. I shall go shave my head off, now.
