You only received a password when you died in Metroid; the password would track how many energy tanks you'd collected, but not your current energy level (because at the time you receive the password, that energy level is zero).
- danso 14y agoWhat about missiles?
- danielweber 14y agoIt not only tracked your missile count, it tracked which missile tanks you picked up, as well as which doors you had blown open. There's a lot in there.
- bmohlenhoff 14y agoYou only need a single bit to keep track of whether or not a door was blown open. I'd imagine the missiles worked the same way, and they just computed the total as the number of missile bits set times 5.
