Maniac Mansion, now 42% cartoonier.

This version of the game is completely different (and inferior) to the American NES port developed by Lucasfilm Games themselves, featuring greatly simplified rooms, no in-game music, and 104-character passwords (even the developers were aware this was a bit much; see below).

Sound Test

Enter the password よいおときき たいなあ (yoi oto kikitai naa), which translates to "I wanna hear something good."

Hidden Messages

Entering these passwords will display special messages... and hang the game up. The passwords cannot be translated without adding iteration marks.

Password	Password Translation	Message Displayed	Message Translation
おわひ	Apology	ぱすわーどがながくてすみません	Sorry the passwords are so long.
しらとまなふ	Manabu Shirato	まったくっ	Honestly!

JALECO		じぶんのちからでとこうね	Figure it out yourself!
