The NES port features 149 levels. 148 come from the original Lynx game, albeit in a different order. One level, appropriately called [[Exclusive]], is exclusive to this port. Levels level 133 to 136 are [[secret level|secret]] and can only be accessed by entering the right password, which is found in [[Cypher]]. | The NES port features 149 levels. 148 come from the original Lynx game, albeit in a different order.

In a significant departure from Lynx, levels 137 to 149 are hidden within an Easter egg: they have no passwords themselves, but entering the special password <code>HARD</code> will warp to level 137, [[Forced Entry]], and they can be played in order from there. Many of these 13 "hard" levels are well-known for their difficulty; others, like [[Yorkhouse]], are more curious choices. | |||
As this port is based on the Lynx edition, most levels match the originals, and for example the alteration to [[Spirals]] found in [[MSCC]] is not present.

Notably, all of the hints are identical to those in the Lynx levels, meaning that the hint in [[Cellblocked]] still prompts the player to press Option 1 (a button on the Lynx) to restart the level. | |||
