theory bait

An aspect of a story (typically seen in video games) that is vague and seems mysterious, eluding to a grand payoff when in reality it lacks substance and is purely there to bait the community into making theories and wild speculations therefore creating a better narrative than the original author could have made themselves.

I wanted to make popular a video game, but don't know how to write a compelling story so I made theory bait instead and the community wrote the story for me.

Justin Bailey

Easter-egg code for the original Metroid game, released on the NES. Enables multiple power-ups, Samus without her power suit, and starts player near end-game/Tourian stage. A quick way to finish the game if one wishes to see the ending, but does not have hours to grind through the cleared stages of Brinstar and Norfair. Bottom half of code is completed by filling text field with dashes.

"Originally I liked the NARPAS SWORD code, but it completely removed the challenge from the game. Using JUSTIN BAILEY as a password gave great bonuses to a starting character, but did not grant invincibility or infinite ammunition."
