OK, I really didn't think I could make that last line offensive, but it was really easy. From a programming standpoint I think something like this is actually really cool.
Why is it called the Vic Viper/Warp Rattler? Because the Options trail behind it in a serpent-like fashion, and the iconic front fins are designed to invoke the image of a snake's fangs.

but does 03V mean anything? it seems just about anything will work if you don't care what the other characters are.

I just found my childhood best friend's name (who I played tons of Metroid with):

####-- 00000
****-- 00000

where #### and **** are his first and last name. it took me hours. he is going to shit a brick.

the most famous one was of course:
JUSTIN BAILEY
------ ------

(I once refused to believe this was a fluke, I don't anymore)

did you just find that?

were is not for the invalid starting world (and the fact that Ridley is already dead) that would hands down be the greatest code ever.

lots of these codes are dead ends for various reasons. I found my sister's name, but the Maru Mari is taken but not possessed, meaning you can not progress.

It's known.

The funny thing is that it reportedly will crash the 3DS NES emulator. Not just the game in the emulator: the emulator itself.

edit:
it also completely locks up my original NES. just tried it. weird.
edit2:
it seems all the starting worlds listed as 'reset' actually lock up the NES, so not weird.


added:

just found that I can augment my save with:
antron MOTHER
antron BRAINN

now Ridley statue is hit and Kraid is killed. All I need to do is grab the ice beam and I can proceed to the end.
