Some tips for the American version with passwords: the "JUSTIN BAILEY" code lets the player play as Samus without her Power Suit, and "NARPAS SWORD" grants Samus infinite ammunition, health, all power-ups, and a modified Ice Beam.

Jonathan waxes nostalgically about Super Mario Brothers 2 ( “Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic”) because Nick is mean, but an otherwise amazing person, and won't let him talk about platformers during regular recordings because they are stupid (It has nothing to do with the fact that he's bad at them).

It's possible that Nick wrote these show notes, and the opinions contained within may not reflect Jonathan's opinions on anything, because he's a dumb-head.

No one reads these show notes anyway.
