Level Select

In the options menu, play the following sounds in order, pressing C at each one: 14, 15, 18, 5, 13, 1, 3, 18, 15, 6. A voice will say "Oh Yeah!" to confirm correct entry. Now select a track from 1 to 6 and press C to warp to the corresponding stage (e.g. selecting track 3 will warp to level 3).

Converting the sound numbers to letters reveals that the code is actually "NOREMACROF", which is (possibly) "for Cameron" backwards.
