Level Select

Press Z, Up, Right, Down, Left, Z, Left, Down, Right, Up, Z on the main menu. This should cause a "COOL" option to appear, which if followed will allow you to "open all levels".

Having done so, go to "continue game" and press A to skip past the password screen. This should take you to the level selection screen with everything unlocked.
