In total, there are 64 characters (not including the space) and 24 character slots, meaning there can be 22,300,745,198,530,623,141,535,718,272,648,361,505,980,416 total possible passwords, of which 87,112,285,931,760,246,646,623,899,502,532,662,132,736 actually function. This mean that through an entirely random method for guessing a code, there is a 1 in 256 chance of the password working. However, 11 out of 16 of these codes that "work" do absolutely nothing or reset the game. Meaning there is basically a 1 in 4096 chance of a randomly guessed password functioning in a practical sense (thanks to [http://tasvideos.org/PasswordGenerators.html tasvideos.org] for crunching the numbers). If you once thought of trying every possible password, don't. | In total, there are 64 characters (not including the space) and 24 character slots, meaning there can be 22,300,745,198,530,623,141,535,718,272,648,361,505,980,416 total possible passwords, of which 87,112,285,931,760,246,646,623,899,502,532,662,132,736 actually function.

Out of the unnumbered amount of codes available in all games, none are as interesting as ''Metroid's'' [[Justin Bailey]] code.</noinclude> Just who is Justin Bailey? <includeonly>What is a Narpas Sword?</includeonly><noinclude>Are we just in Bailey? Is Justin Bailey just an alias for Samus? Does Justin Bailey exist?... I am Justin Bailey, we are not in Bailey, Samus needs no alias, and probably not. The code is the Justin Bailey code (see below for a list of code inputs) places Samus in Zebes with no suit. Without the suit, however, Samus sustains just as much damage as she would with the suit. The suitless appearance of [[Samus Aran|our heroine]] caused by this particular password deals no particular change in gameplay, meaning her suit change is purely cosmetic. The 255 [[Missile]]s, 5 [[Energy Tank]]s, and other [[upgrade]]s however are a complete boon toward [[Samus Aran|Samus's]] way. The [[Power Suit]] lacking Samus has been fan-named Justin Bailey, or Justin Bailey suit, but it has been generally accepted that it is not the same as the [[Zero Suit]] (though it remains debatable). A little-known fact, however, is that the Justin Bailey suit does not have to be reached through the actual Justin Bailey code. There are many codes that place Samus out of her suit, for whatever reason, however, the Justin Bailey code stood out, earning the no-suited Samus a name. | Out of the unnumbered amount of codes available in all games, none are as interesting as ''Metroid's'' [[Justin Bailey]] code. </noinclude>Just who is Justin Bailey? <includeonly>What is a Narpas Sword?</includeonly><noinclude>Are we just in Bailey?

The origins of the name are always fuzzy and untrustworthy. Fans have believed that the term "Justin Bailey" was slang used to describe a bikini in another country. This belief, however, was proven false as no such vernacular term exists in any country. Another belief was that Justin Bailey was an important man to the creation of the ''[[Metroid (series)|Metroid]]'', but no such Justin is credited in any game; additionally most people involved in the creation are Japanese. The most obvious and convenient belief to trust would be that the code itself is a product of chance. As it's been reported, other names and curious arrangements of numbers work as passwords. Justin Bailey, however, became the most popular—in the end, it's simply a product of luck (or bad luck). Regardless of its nearly unworthy recognition, Justin Bailey is an easily recognized target of Metroid fans, sparking much fan art, many jokes, and even an [http://www.shinesparkers.net/justin-bailey-adventures online comic series]. | The origins of the name are always fuzzy and untrustworthy.
