VERSION HISTORY [1001]
0.99- 6/22/05- contained all the basic sections, but formatting in corridor
index was a little sloppy
1.6- 11/17/05- cleaned up the Corridor Index, added a whole bunch of
passwords, corrected some math errors in the Coordinate System section,
resequenced all miniboss and corridor indexes by Y-coordinate not
X-coordinate, added some additional notes in the miniboss section, and
added all current theories and research explaining the Lost Frontier. I also
added a more corridor & miniboss data from more wanderings, and another
labyrinth-corridor too. Added the section How It All Works.

copy-paste it, just cite my user name. I give credit where it is due, but
I never take credit where it is not due. I wrote this, at least give me
the credit if you ever put it anyplace else, especially since I spent
days exploring the Lost Frontier and documenting what corridors are
where and what I found. Yes, I do not mind this being distributed, so long
as I am given credit for it.

Just a note when reading this. It may look like a large file, but in fact,
most of this FAQ is just an index of the Corridors I encountered (just a
pile of data). The explanatory part of the FAQ takes up only about 25% of
the file size.

[1002]
NAJU is a vast world. There is an undiscovered frontier of NAJU lying
beyond the borders of the mapped out areas of NAJU. This vast region is never
mapped on the select screen; it remains black. It is seemingly a very
fluctuating place, where a room is many times different when you backtrack to
it. This frontier has very strange mechanics, some of which follow the
mechanics of the regular game, some of which defy the mechanics of the
regular game. In this frontier are the many other corridors of NAJU.
Corridors numbering up to Corridor 127 have been found.
The Lost Frontier, summarized, is a vast region larger than the regular
game in terms of number of rooms which has strange, bizarre properties not
found in the regular game, glitched up screens and enemies, as well as
strange corridors of junk. It was not intentionally created by the
programmers and we do not as of yet know the mechanics of how it gets
created. It is similar to the Hidden Worlds of Metroid, which are a jumble
of rooms resulting from a mapping error. While that game looks to have 1 map
with 5 parts (different areas), it actually has 1 map with 5 layers, each of
which we only normally explore one part of. The layout of that map is the
layout of the whole game on the ROM. The Hidden World was the portions of
those 5 layers that are rendered inaccessible in the normal course of the
game. In other words, of the Norfair Layer, we can only explore the portion
of the map we know of as Norfair, not the portions of the Norfair Layer which
underlie the other 4 areas. Metroid's Hidden Worlds are much more well
known about in part due to the popularity of the game and the history of
exploring the glitches. TGL is not nearly as well known and the glitch
was just discovered recently.
This is intended to be the first FAQ describing this newly uncovered place.
I would hope the readers get some inspiration at hearing the strange tales
from this place and explore it themselves and contribute to this guide or
even create their own guide, but regardless, contribute to the base of
knowledge on TGL's Lost Frontier. How can something be discovered if it is
not explored?
The first question on everybody's minds is how does one get into the Lost
Frontier? The answer is passwords. The regular map is on a 24 x 24 grid,
but the passwords are programmed to cover all coordinates for a 32 x 32 grid.
I asked more knowledgable people about it, and I found out the reason why is
passwords can be generated for every coordinate, including for rooms that are
not save rooms. Thus, the X, Y position is encoded in the password.
Programming 4 bits to the password system allows for a range of coordinates
from 0-15, not enough to cover the map of the game, but programming 5 bits
allows for a range of coordinates from 0-31, enough to cover the 0-23 range
found in the game.
Now, for exploring the Lost Frontier, it is possible to do so without an
emulator, but I would not recommend it. As you will read, the Lost Frontier
is a very chaotic place where timing of less than a second determines what
the next room looks like, so save states are necessary to counter
frustration of running into an exitless room (of which there are *many* in
the Lost Frontier) and having to start all over from the password again. Save
states are also vital to making progress through the frontier. If you want to
get anywhere in the frontier past say the first row or so, you need save
states. I use NESicle, an old emulator, but there are a whole slew of NES
emulators out there. I would recommend an emulator with multiple save slots
(NESicle has 10 save slots) because to explore the Lost Frontier, it is
recommended to save at every major junction, so you can explore one
direction, save additional states to that, and be able to branch off from
other directions from that original save state. It is vital to have save
states from earlier on because sometimes you will find you have saved in a
room where you can't really progress any further and all it leads to are dead
ends. I explored Metroid's Hidden Worlds and mapped them out. It was also
possible on the regular system (an old NES and Metroid cartridge), but it
would have taken weeks more and a lot of frustrated attempts at when I got
trapped. The point is, use emulators and save states to explore this place.
There are a number of types of glitches and crashes that can affect the
game in the Lost Frontier. Corridor Blackouts- These are the most common
types. There are 2 categories of these. Basically, with many corridors, when
you jump into them, you will see the transformation sequence, but after it
is completed, instead of picking up where a corridor would start, the game
goes black. Occasionally, there will be an auto-reset or a reset if you mash
the buttons, but that is uncommon. The less common one is the post-victory
transformation sequence blackout, where the game blacks out during the
return transformation sequence. On a rare occasion, mashing the buttons, I
was able to get the transformation sequence to resume, but that was only in
some of the cases where the music continued to play while the screen is
black, which is rather common with this crash. On rare occasion, the
corridor can cause a blackout the moment you jump into it. With some
corridors, you get to see a frozen screen with an image which then goes
black after a few seconds.
Miniboss Blackouts- These are also very common. On many screens, you will
hear the warning klaxons, then the graphics start to break down for objects,
like portal boxes and those green boxes that appear, being reduced to red
and black lines, then the screen goes black. Sometimes miniboss music begins
playing and sometimes you can hear the Guardian firing too, if you hold
down the fire button. And many times when the screen goes black and music
plays, the screen flashes different colors, such as yellow, blue, purple,
green. The whole screen is that color and after a few seconds it goes to
another color. Once I was able to keep in the game and the object graphics
were all screwed up for a while, but the background looked normal and the
game was playable. Sometimes when the klaxons sound, the graphics remain,
but the Guardian glitches up a little. This is very common and has no impact.
Don't worry about it. Sometimes, it is possible to take a portal or cross an
open threshold when the graphics are beginning to break down and you will
arrive on the adjacent screen without the game crashing.
Random Screen Freezes- These are rather rare. Basically, when you arrive on
a screen, well, some screens, there is a chance this will be one of the
possibilities. It is a strange screen that has open thresholds on the top
and bottom and walls on the left and right. The game will freeze, and the
title screen music will be playing. This screen has several horizontal lines
on it and is very miscolored, usually light blue and white. I noticed the
screen keeps the same format across all areas, but I was able to control the
Guardian on a Jungle area screen like this, but not the Grass area screen or
other area screens like this. Occasionally on these screens, the Guardian
will become uncontrollable and wander around the screen firing aimlessly.
And very very rarely, sometimes when you cross an open threshold, the game
will freeze on that screen, and the music will remain playing, but there is
no way to break that freeze. It happens, but is, like I said, among the rarer
phenomena of the Lost Frontier and is not a common occurrence.
Then there are glitches that result from teleporting using glitch weapons
(you can read more about them further below). These cause the graphics to go
really strange and change patterns, with the game freezing and the music to
stop except for a random note here or there. It's hard to describe the
graphics when the game has crashed this way. I'll probably link up some
pictures of how they look at a later update. Regardless, there is a wide
assortment of different graphical displays that result with the breakdown.
So, a full index is:
Corridor Blackouts
After Starting Transformation Sequence
During Ending Transformation Sequence
Unbreakable
Breakable
Instant Blackout
Miniboss Blackouts
Total Blackout
Multi-colors, music plays
Random Screen Freezes
Grass Area Freeze
Water Area Freeze
Jungle Area Freeze
Ice Area Freeze
Organic Area Freeze
(Desert Area Freeze have not been encountered yet)
Threshold Freezes
Teleporter Crashes
Can the glitches and crashes encountered in the Lost Frontier mess up the
emulator or computer? No, they can't. I've seen the game crash probably a
hundred times. My computer is still perfectly fine and my emulator functions
just as it has before I started exploring the Lost Frontier. I cannot vouch
for other emulators, but they should not be corrupted by the game messing
up. Many of the glitches seem like something you just reset the game after.
The crashes affect the software, not the simulated hardware (the emulator,
which is also software, but that's beside the point). I understand some fear
since we have all heard about some glitches that permanently corrupt files,
such as some for Legend of Zelda and one for Secret of Mana (well, in those
cases, it isn't permanent, it just stands a chance of ruining that one saved
file, not the game itself or the save slot itself). If it eases your fears,
my computer has crashed and frozen up FAR FEWER times than everyone else I
know; even my mother's computer has crashed/frozen up more often than mine.
If you worry about computer stability, there are much bigger things and
many more things to worry about than TGL's Lost Frontier. Like I said, what
produces this glitch is something relating to mapping, like in Metroid's
case (though there are differences) and Metroid's Hidden Worlds aren't
dangerous to explore.
I noticed in the Y030s, the screens keep the same layout. In other words,
there is no random variance. Yes, the Area of the same room can change by
going through a portal, then going back in the Y30s, but there is much more
stability here than in the Y200s. Seeing as the Y200s are very variable and
always hop around, with nothing being for certain and there being a wild
range of possibilities for many rooms, I have a theory that the general
level of chaos (randomness, well actually chaos is speculated to be a very
advanced, hard to grasp, and intricate order) increases as the Y coordinate
increases in the Lost Frontier. This would explain why the lower Ys are
stable and the higher Ys aren't, but an area known as the "Desert of
Instability" (read more about it below, but to give you a brief idea, an
area where most rooms in that region cause the game to crash), located in
the Y230s debunks this. However, the chaos theory of the Y coordinate may
hold as a general rule with exceptions. I will only be able to confirm or
deny it should I ever get to visit the Y040s to Y216. In the Lost Frontier
part that I explored, there are patches where the graphics for rooms have
a higher probability of being glitchy in addition to that one notorious
region. The whole area is very random though, so I think while there may
be local variation, the chaos theory of Y may apply for a region as a
whole.
Some questions about the Lost Frontier:
_____________________________
I don't have answers to these, but these are vital questions that would be
nice to have answered. Some of the questions I ask are based on what I
explain further down, so if you get confused, just read this section last.
I put the question section here because it fits more under the general
section of what the Lost Frontier is than anywhere else.
Why is their room data for coordinates off the 24 x 24 grid? The same
applies to rooms in the black spaces on the 24 x 24 grid. In other words,
why doesn't the game crash when a password goes to those coordinates. And,
speaking of the rooms on the 32 x 32 grid, why is that room data the same
every time, even down to what enemies appear if they even appear.
How can higher numbered corridors (Corridors 23- 127) even exist? And how
can they be playable in some circumstances? Why are some of these corridors
playable, and other ones black out every time? And for that matter, why do
some numbers always have their corridor sealed and others produce an
automatic victory? There is some "logic" to it, some method to the madness,
but the reasoning behind it is anything but clear.
Why does the Select button have such significance in the Lost Frontier?
What is it about going to the map and item inventory screen and then going
back to the normal screen that changes the background and enemy patterns
in glitch corridors and in some cases, open up a locked corridor! (the
same mechanism as touching the 4 panels, firing at the gate, etc).
Why are all versions of Corridor 4 in the Lost Frontier sealed? Every other
regular corridor (Corridord 0-22) are accessible at least once in there.
This fact seems strange especially since in the regular course of the game,
Corridor 4 is the one the text box rooms which provide clues said was
messed up and botched during the locking process and needed help from the
Lander to open.
How is it possible that minibosses are triggered at some coordinates or
staggered coordinates in the Lost Frontier? What exactly determines which
will be glitch ones where no enemy ever appears and an item gets left in
the room and which will be a real miniboss you have to fight?
Why is timing an important element of determine what the room at the next
set of coordinates will look like in the Lost Frontier in the Y200s?
Why do some glitch weapons exist and why are they all teleporters? I mean,
how does the teleportation mechanism exist in the game and why does it have
a certain graphics display which resembles teleportation in other NES games?
Why are there weird bosses in some corridors which have behavior patterns
not resembling any boss? How does the game create distinct enemies (a
behavior protocol + a graphics display, though in this case, it's just junk
they're made out of) which are not programmed for?
Why are there "regions" in the Lost Frontier in some areas? How can a
whole set of coordinates, beyond the maximum extent of staggered
coordinates, have a similar theme to it in a zone that wasn't even
programmed for?
And one final question, one which I can provide an answer to- Why the name?
Though it is more appropriate to call it the "undiscovered" frontier
because it was not known about before, I will call it the Lost Frontier
because typing out the Undiscovered Frontier gets a little tiresome (even
though it's not lost because lost implies it was known about before, but
forgotten about). I didn't want to call it the Hidden World (or Worlds)
because it's not a world of its own; it's a part of NAJU. And it is on a
frontier because it lies beyond the mapped borders of NAJU.

This is for the reader's reference. This is the central information
about the game they will need to know to better understand this FAQ.
labyrinth: the Zelda-like wandering portion of the game where the
Guardian walks around and finds weapons and powerups. There are 2
minibosses per area here
corridor: the shoot-em-up portion of the game where the Guardian flies
through a scrolling landscape being hit with enemies from all sides
and eventually facing a boss at the end
area: these are regions that contain 1 labyrinth and 2 corridors. They
are each self-enclosed from other areas and require special keys to
get from one area to another
Here is a listing of all areas in the game:
Area 0- Grass
Area 1- Water #1
Area 2- Water #2
Area 3- Jungle #1
Area 4- Jungle #2
Area 5- Ice #1
Area 6- Ice #2
Area 7- Organic #1
Area 8- Organic #2
Area 9- Desert #1
Area 10- Desert #2
NAJU: the world The Guardian Legend is set on
klaxons: a fancy word for alarms or sirens. Klaxons tend to be associated
with a more automatic alarm than a blaring one or few note blast like a
tornado or air raid siren. The actual definition is "a loud electronic
horn"
You will see me refer to the "empty orange corridor room" occasionally.
This is a type of room seen only once in the game, in Area 0 at X9 Y11.
It becomes Corridor 21 at the end of the game.
Sometimes I refer to a boss track I say sounds like "military aquatica".
There are three boss tracks- one has the same music as the minibosses,
another is common and seen for 3 of the 4 water corridor bosses. That
track is the one I am referring to. The 3rd track sounds more ominous
and is used for Green Optomon and a few other bosses.
You will see me use the word threshold many times. This simply refers to
an open edge of the screen, open edge meaning you can walk off that edge
and appear on the opposite side of an adjacent screen.

**************************** COORDINATE SYSTEM *********************
************************************************************************
************************************************************************
[1003]
First off, a discussion on mapping. X-values and Y-values follow the standard
Cartesian arrangement, X numbers increase incrementally from left to right, Y
numbers increase incrementally from top to bottom. X0, Y0 is in the upper
left (this differs from the usual Cartesian origin in the lower left).
The areas beyond the map in all directions are accessible. Above Y0 is the
value Y55. The further up one goes, the lower the Y-value. The highest
coordinates that appear on the map are Y43. The fringe of Y42 can be seen
though. Y-values between Y42- Y35 do not appear at all on the screen (they
don’t display on the select screen). I suspect there is some sort of invisible
space we cannot see due to the dimensions of the screen on the computer
monitor, tv, etc, which is different from the display dimensions of the game
by a small degree. The select screen does have a looping effect on map
coordinates. While it does display coordinates in the black space beyond the
map or even over weapon images or text on the status screen, map coordinates
accessed from the northern fringe that are higher than Y43 disappear and do
not appear on the bottom until going up to Y34 (Y34 is the 1st coordinate to
appear at the bottom of the chart), but values of Y43 and higher would
display if accessed from the southern fringe down to the bottom limit on the
map. As for what Y coordinate is the bottom of the screen, I don't know
because I haven't been able to get down there.
So, here is the sequence of Y values starting with 0, which is the highest
playable row in the game, and going upward to higher rows: Y0,55,54,53,52,51,
50, 49,48,47,46,45,44,43,42,41,40, etc. To the left of X0 is X55. So,
basically, while the normal map appears to be X & Y values from 0 to 23, the
true range of the X & Y values is 0 to 55, nearly double the original size...
or so
it would seem. As with so many maps, they loop around, meaning left of 0 is 55
and right of 55 is 0, or above 0 is 55 and below 55 is 0.
One of the leading theories as to why this exists is that the true grid of
NAJU is 256 x 256, X0-255 Y0-255. There is speculation TGL used 8 bits to
program for all the Y coordinates. Only 5 bits are needed to cover all normal
rooms in the game, but it is believed programmers used the whole byte for
convenience. And the same was probably done for the X coordinates. If that
theory were true (we have no way of confirming or rejecting it), it would
mean the Lost Frontier is a byproduct of empty space which itself was created
out of convenience and somehow, the game filled that empty space up with
"stuff". How the game creates that stuff (even an exitless room of any type
is "something") is unknown, but we're starting to get some clues.
One of the key pieces of proof for 256 is when I arrived at the coordinates
listed as Y23- Y17 (any number of rooms in the X row), which are real
coordinates on the game's original map, these were rooms that were definately
not the rooms in the real game, nor rooms with a different area projected
onto them. And also when I arrived at those coordinates, I was several
spaces below the position of the real Y23-Y17 on the map. While that could be
explained away as a disjunct in the map from the icon moving off the screen,
then back, the different rooms cannot be. All things in NES games loop
around; if you go far enough right, you come out on the left, and so on. If
there were only 56 rows (0-55), then I should be back in the real levels,
the organic labyrinths and the lower jungle labyrinth, but I was not.
It is also known that the highest number for many numerical counts in games is
255. You can only have 255 Enemy Erasers (and in other games, such as Zelda,
you can only have 255 Rupees). There are 256 values associated with 255
(remember, 0 counts). Why would a game go by a 56 count and not a 256 count?
We know the game can only display 2 digits for each coordinate. Thus, any
larger number gets truncated. In other NES games, when larger numbers are
logged than can be displayed, the first number always gets left off. This is
because only certain spaces are left open. In the case of games limited by 4
digits, the maximum value registerable is 9999. A value of 10,832 would
register as 0832. Why? Remember, the game is encoding only for the single,
the ten, the hundred, and the thousand space in that circumstance. The
ten-thousand space gets left out. In this case, the coordinates can only
display the single and the ten space, not the hundred space. In this case, the
maximum value recordable is usually 65,535, another one of those numbers
like 256 that tends to crop up a lot as limiting numbers in games.
All rooms in X24-X31 that I encountered produced exitless rooms. Virtually all
were Area 0, though a few exitless rooms of other areas were scattered about.
There is a delay before they appear. If they are portalled into (this only
applies to X24, and also X255), they tend to appear as empty orange corridor
rooms. I use a ROM, however, other people, using an actual cart, have found
that X24- X31 while they often produce exitless rooms, have been known
on occasion to produce rooms with exits that allow for exploration. Why this
occurs is unknown, but it is speculated to be that the cart users are using
one version of the game which is different from the version of the game
the ROM online was taken from. It is speculated some minor alteration
was made in the code that changes the display equations for the X coordinates
past X23 removing whatever was the limiting factor in the ROM version.
Just a note, games sometimes undergo revisions as they are re-released.
Usually small bugs are fixed or other such changes are made to fix errors.
There are version differences with games like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina
of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. If you look at lists
of tricks and exploits for games, some note they only work on certain
versions of the cart. This is exactly what I'm talking about in this case
with TGL.
So far, I have only explored two components of the Lost Frontier, the Vast
Northern Realm (which is technically a large block in the southwest corner of
the true 256 x 256 map) and the Near Southeastern Island. What I call the
Vast Northern Realm is the rooms you get to by walking up from a room in the
Y0 row. This is the realm 95-99% of my data and observations and explorations
comes from. It seems to have barriers on one side by X24, where all rooms
are dead end traps, and the same with X255 on the other side. The Near
Southeastern Island is a small section of rooms below the Y031 edge of the map
which can be walked onto. I describe both of these in more detail below.
You will notice a huge ring surrounds the main map. There is nothing special
about those rooms as far as I can tell. The ring side to the north of the main
map is the Y[2]54 row.
X-values can exceed 24, but so for, only isolated rooms can be visited there
via password (once again, there are version differences).
The original map is 24 rooms x 24 rooms (rows 0-23), which comes out to 576
rooms total.
The password range map is 32 x 32 rooms (rows 0-31), which comes out to 1024
rooms total.
The expanded fringes of the map which are covered by the password, but not in
the game are rows 24-31, which are 448 rooms total.The true map of NAJU is
believed to be 256 rooms x 256 rooms (rows 0-255), which comes out to a total
of 65,536 theoretical rooms.
I have explored from X0-23 for Y217-255, which is a total of 1056 rooms. Take
that number, add 1024 to it (the 32 x 32 grid) and the 38 or so rooms I've
explored by walking down from the password map to some of the Y030s, and
subtract all that from 65,536 and that means there are still about 63,418
rooms that are completely unknown. In other words, about 97% of the game's
total theoretical map remains unexplored. I should explain here that I ran
into a row of exitless rooms at the Y217 row. I have tried several times in
vain to find a way through them.
How do I know the "Great Wall" at Y217 is breachable? Simple. With the
insurmountable barriers, such as X024- X031 and Y255, when you portal in
there, there is a delay in the transition between when the previous screen
fades and the new screen loads. With all Y217 rooms, there is no delay,
meaning it is a normal room.
It is possible that all rooms from X24-X255 Y0- Y255 are exitless rooms with
nothing of note. If that were true, then of the possible 65,536 rooms, 59,392
of those rooms are meaningless to explore and contain nothing of note (and
thus 6144 rooms would be the only rooms of note). But, the problem is we
cannot confirm that speculation. Yes, X24- X31 and X255 are exitless rooms
with time delayed arrivals, but we have never seen any room between X32 and
X254, so such a guess cannot be verified yet. If that were true, only 6144
rooms would be of note, and we already know 576 of those belong to the
original map, 192 to the password's map, leaving 5376 rooms to explore.
Subtracting the 1056 rooms I've been to, that's 4320 rooms that haven't
been reached yet. But once again, the version differences lead to more
questions.

*************** HOW TO ACCESS THE LOST FRONTIER *******************
***********************************************************************
************************************************************************
[1004]
The only way to get up here is through using passwords. Lee Eric Kirwan has
cracked the password system and posted all the details on the Gamefaqs
Message Board for TGL during 2004-5. The credit for all the passwords
goes to him because he gave me a bunch of passwords and taught me how
to generate passwords for the rest of the rooms on the 32 x 32 map.
The Vast Northern Realm is accessible by the following password:
3stG 0gBG XYRF UMdE
RAtD OIHD nkQC IcJA
[note: 0 is zero, O is capital o]
This room extends from some rooms in the Y0 row in the black space
(X4 Y0, X5 Y0, X6 Y0, X7 Y0, X21 Y0, X22 Y0, X23 Y0) and a few rooms down in
one section, X15 Y0, X15 Y1, and X15 Y2. It extends from X255 to X24, 2
columns of rooms which consist always of exitless rooms or exitless empty
orange corridor rooms. It extends from Y255 all the way to Y217, which forms
a row of exitless rooms or exitless empty orange corridor rooms (with no
delay though). This huge realm is filled with variable rooms, where timing
affects what the next room looks like (this is discussed at length in the
Game Mechanics section). Start by walking up to the Y255 row and then you can
explore from there.
The Near Southeastern Island is accessible by the following password:
wMfY scfL qwSC nc0K
6YeM hoxI WGpM mI7F
This sends the Guardian to Area 1 X22 Y30. Unlike the Vast Northern Realm,
the rooms here remain the same every time you cross a threshold or enter a
portal and go back to it. Portals, however, can change what Area the room is,
but not the layout. This area only has 38 rooms and extends from X18-X24 and
Y30-Y37. All the X24 rooms here are likewise exitless rooms. There is one
Save Lander room, one Corridor room (Corridor 30), and one Lander selling a
Wave Attack for 50 Chips. The only areas I encountered here were Areas
0,1,3,4,5. Area 4 is the most extensive of them.
As for how to get to the spaces between the labyrinths on the 24 x 24 map,
those require individual passwords. The same applies for all the spaces past
the 24 x 24 grid on the 32 x 32 grid. All the passwords for the spaces
inbetween on the 24 x 24 grid are listed here. They are all either corridors,
Lander rooms of any type, text box rooms, or empty orange corridor rooms.
All the following passwords provided are the last 2 blocks in the 8-block
password code. They all plug into a universal password, which was graciously
provided by Lee. Just plug the passwords listed into the 2 ____ spaces in
the password to access that coordinate.

There are some coordinates on the 32 x 32 grid where entering a password
causes the game to black out. Surprisingly, these rooms, if adjacent rooms
have an open threshold to them, are accessible. Why passwords cannot access
them, but they turn out to be accessible by foot is unknown at this time.

****************** GAME MECHANICS OF THE LOST FRONTIER ***********
************************************************************************
************************************************************************
[1005]
All games have a system of rules they operate by. These are the game's
equivalent of the laws of physics. For example, in Super Mario Bros, based on
the game's rules, Mario can jump. In TGL, however, based on the rules, the
Guardian cannot jump. I will start you off by giving you some of the normal
rules this game is governed by. These same rules are found in many of the same
games. These are common sense rules everyone will say "duh, it's obvious" to,
but I reiterate them because some of these rules... they don't apply to the
Lost Frontier.
Rule: When you cross a threshold (the edge of a screen), the next room will
always appear the same no matter what time you cross it. The next room will
also appear the same regardless of which adjacent room it is approached from.
And when you cross back to go back to the room you came from, that original
room will appear the same as when you left it. The same applies for use of
portals.
Rule: When a special weapon is used, it has the same effect each time
(barring Chip limitation, levelling a weapon up, or an enemy's weaknesses or
strengths). Basically, when you use the Laser Saber, a little laser saber
comes out of the Guardian in the same position every time.
Rule: If the threshold you cross is open, the adjacent room will have a
corresponding open threshold on the side the two rooms share.
Rule: You cannot cross from an Area of one number to an Area of a different
number by crossing a threshold. Such a transition can only occur by using a
portal and passing through an intermediary room, usually a Lander room of
some sort or a Corridor room.
Rule: There are a series of protocols the game follows when there is a
miniboss at a location. First, when you arrive on the screen, warning klaxons
sound, then green blocks appear to cover every open space along any side
with a threshold. The boss then appears. When the boss is defeated, a victory
tune is played and an item box is left in the center of the room. When the
item is collected, one block in every wall of green blocks becomes brown,
meaning it can be broken. Should you ever return to the same screen again,
no step in the series of protocols will be carried out. The game "remembers"
the miniboss has been beaten.
Rule: When you beat a Corridor, you will return to the same Corridor room,
but the Corridor will be sealed.
Now for the strange, bizarre rules which govern the Lost Frontier. Having
spent dozens of hours exploring this place, I have seen them play out.
The strangest property to moving around the labyrinth in the Lost Frontier is
depending on the time you cross the screen’s threshold, the next room will
appear differently from if you cross the threshold at a different time. There
are many different possibilities for each screen. The arrangement of the
room, whether or not there are portals are not, and what Keys are needed for
those portals can and does vary. Likewise, when entering a portal, the timing
in which you move onto it will determine what the room on the other side of
the portal will be. This explains why there can be several corridors found
at the exact same coordinates. I’ve tested this using save states and when
I move at the exact same speed, I always land the same possibility. This
proves it is not entirely random as if it were random, the possibility would
be different each time I load up the same state. If my speed is slower or
faster by even a margin of less than a second, a different screen appears.
The switching of room possibilities occurs on the millisecond scale. In the
normal game, everything is bi-directional. A screen with an open threshold
on the left will correspondingly have a screen left of it with an open
threshold on the right. Here, nothing is necessarily bi-directional.
Sometimes, the Guardian can arrive in rooms that have no exits. These are
basically trap rooms, where there is only a one-way entry and there is no
escape, other than by loading up an earlier save state. In other cases, an
open threshold on one side can be adjacent to a wall which cannot be
walked through once passed through.
In some screens, there is an overlap which would normally not occur. There is
an open threshold on the edge of the screen, but also a blue portal box
there. When this occurs, the threshold cannot be crossed. Anywhere there is
a portal, there is a de facto wall, visible or not. On some screens with
portals, there are invisible walls even on thresholds that do not have a
portal. There are some screens where there is a threshold, but there is also
an invisible wall there as well. I’ve seen this often on some screens with
the slime enemies. There are some screens that have small invisible walls in
the middle of the screen.
Theory: I suspect this portal = wall rule is actually a rule in the normal
game (but which we never see since the programmers make sure there is always
a visible wall by a portal).
It is also possible to walk through some walls. When the Guardian transitions
from a screen with an open threshold say on the right side to a room where
the left side is a wall, she can walk through the wall so long as she is
moving straight and nothing is there to obstruct her. Also, if there is some
glitchy tiles on the wall which can be walked on, in some cases the Guardian
can walk on those glitchy tiles and cross the wall. This is even possible
with glitchy tiles in some corridor rooms or text box rooms, where you can
scroll to another special room type (non-overworld Area room). With glitched
blocks that can be walked upon, if it is a Corridor Room (active), the screen
will scroll to another Corridor Room (active). That Corridor Room, in the
cases I’ve seen will be open, but you can walk on the black space without
entering, there may or may not be red tech panels there, and the
"Corridor #" sign will be completely black. Basically, it’s a false corridor
room, a dummy corridor. I have not had the chance to scroll screens in
Sealed Corridor Rooms. With empty orange corridor rooms, walking through the
wall results in another empty orange corridor room. With Save Lander rooms,
walking through the wall results in a Save Lander room with no text in the
text box accompanying it. With Lander rooms saying "Any Luck?", the Lander
is in the next room, but says nothing. I have not walked through the wall
of either Lander room selling anything (single or "only one"). With text box
rooms, walking through the walls results in another text box room except
the text box says nothing.
Theory: The game organizes room types by several layers. Areas 0 through 10
are each in separate layers, distinctly isolated from one another, thus why
you cannot walk from an Area 7 room to an Area 2 room, and why you cannot
walk from an Area 3 room to an Area 4 room. I suspect that all Save Lander
rooms are one layer, the "Only One" Lander rooms are a different layer,
the Lander shop rooms are yet another layer, Active Corridor rooms are one
layer, Empty Corridor Rooms are another layer. We can't see that they have
this categorizational structure because all special rooms never have open
thresholds in the game.
On the subject of room formation, it seems like if you move to the next room,
either via threshold or portal fast, that room will often be an exitless room
or an empty corridor room with no exits. However, it does not mean after you
wait a long enough time, a room with a corridor or exits will be there. There
always remains the possibility of the exitless room, but the possibility of
reaching an exitless room is extremely high early on and declines as time
goes on, but after a certain time the possibility levels off. I think the
pattern repeats after that, but I am not sure. I’m also not even sure there
is a pattern, but there are definite probabilities.
There are some... stranger types of possibilities for rooms. One of the
possibilities is that the screen will go black when the Guardian crosses
that threshold or enters the portal. Another possibility is one that only
occurs with threshold movement; it is where the Guardian enters a screen and
all movement is frozen, and the screen is blue, white and red, and the TGL
title screen music plays. This screen resembles an Area 0 room open on the
top and bottom with walls on the left and white. The only way out of this
is resetting the game. With one instance here though, I observed the
Guardian moving around the screen, albeit uncontrollably. And another
instance, notably in Area 4, I was able to control movement on this screen,
and even walk onto an invisible portal and warp to another room.
Another possibility is miniboss warning klaxons will go off. Now, this event
has a few possibilities. The first, and among the most common ones is the
graphics will glitch up, becoming simpler (I think this is called the
graphics decompiling) and the game screen freezing up and either going to
black or black alternating with a screen of a solid color every so often.
Either way, it means you have to reset. The other possibility with the
miniboss klaxons is that a miniboss will appear. Now this possibility has a
few possibilities: either a real boss will appear, which means it can be
defeated and an item box dropped, or no miniboss will appear but the
miniboss music will stop after some duration (on the scale of seconds),
victory over miniboss music will play and an item box will appear, or the
klaxons sound, no miniboss appears, but the music continues playing (at
least for over 2 minutes) without the miniboss being defeated. Consider in
these cases the minibosses to be invisible and that they cannot be interacted
with (i.e. they cannot harm you, you cannot harm them) which self-destruct
after x interval of seconds (with x varying from invisible miniboss to
miniboss). This has some credence as on a number of screens with no miniboss,
maybe 1/5th or 1/6th, an explosion like that of a miniboss being beaten
occurs on the upper fringes of the screen, half on the screen half off the
screen. In all cases, as following the game’s normal mechanics, green blocks
appear on all thresholds, the klaxons sound, and when the miniboss is
defeated, victory over miniboss music plays and an item box appears in the
center of the room. Another possibility is one I observed only once, a demo
starts playing. This demo was a corridor, as is the case with all the demos.
Note that there is a different situation where a labyrinth can turn into a
corridor. That is different from this. This corridor was a conventional one
in the game.
I’ve said earlier how the type of arrangement with a room and whether there
are portals or not and what types of portals they are can vary, but accessing
rooms from different portals or wandering to the same coordinates after
taking portals somewhere in the vicinity can allow for a multiplicity of
different Areas at the same coordinates. For the screen X4 Y244, I’ve seen it
as Areas 0,4,6,8,10. For the screen X17 Y238, I’ve seen it as Areas 0,2,3,8,9.
At X6 Y255, I’ve seen Areas 0,2,5,7,8. At X8 Y255, I’ve seen Areas
0,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. So, for some coordinates, there can be at least up
to 9 different Areas for that coordinates and possibly even 1 or more
Corridors too. I suspect all 11 Areas are possible at some or more
coordinates.
So, the ultimate factors which affect the appearance of a room are timing and
passage through a portal, even if it was several screens away. To help
understand the changing appearance of a room in this area, imagine there is
an invisible Z-coordinate to the mapping structure and the time at which the
Guardian crosses the screen’s threshold or enters the portal determines what
Z-coordinate for those X,Y coordinates she arrives at. X & Y coordinates are
used to map planes, but X, Y, and Z coordinates are used to map realms
(three-dimensional spaces). I’m not saying there is a Z-coordinate, I’m
saying it’s a useful mental device to help frame the concept of the flux of
possibilities for the same room. Imagine that the different Areas for each
coordinate, such as the cases of X4 Y244 and X17 Y238 I noted earlier, each
Area is at a different Z-coordinate and imagine that for the rules governing
this system, the Z-coordinates for different Areas are not accessible when
walking across a threshold. So, for let’s say all the Area 0 room
possibilities for a specific set of coordinates, imagine they have Z-values
of say 30-40, and the other Areas possible for those coordinates are
different sets of coordinates, like say Area 1 is 11-20 and Area 3 is 67-72.
Merely walking across a threshold only allows movement in the range of
Z-values between 30-40. Any Z-values that have Corridors, text box rooms,
Lander rooms, empty corridor rooms, etc associated with them are excluded
in the range of movement. If there is a portal on that screen, it
determines movement both in an X or Y direction depending on the location
of the portal (left or right vs. top or bottom), but there is also
movement on the Z-axis. The portal’s range of possibilities for movement
when going from an Area room to a special room exclude all Z-values
associated with Areas, but include all possibilities with Corridors, text
rooms, empty corridor rooms, Lander rooms, etc. The possibilities for
Z-values when going through a portal in a special room include all
possible Z-values since some special rooms can be adjacent to other special
rooms. Now, under this imaginary system, movement along the Z-axis would
be disabled for all rooms officially mapped, such as those on the X0-X23,
Y0-Y23 grid which appear as white on the map when all the Keys are
obtained. However, using the teleporter (read further down), Z-coordinates
for rooms on the regular map are accessible.
Some rooms (i.e. coordinates), depending on where you enter them from and
more importantly, when you enter them, can display multiple corridors. Or
sometimes after beating an open corridor there, you’ll arrive back in the
same room, but it’s a different corridor there! I found several examples of
this. One is X22, Y245, which I’ve seen as Corridors 61, 88, and 8. I’ve found
a maximum of 5-6 corridors in the same room in some instances. Timing
determines whether a special room has an empty orange corridor room, a Lander
merchant, a text box room, a Save Lander, an active corridor, and what number
the active corridor is. There are only a handful of corridor #s available at
each coordinate. As for as I know, there is no master room where every
corridor is available, from 0 to the highest number.
Now, when a Corridor is beaten, should it be playable, there are a few
possible results. Sometimes, the game blacks out upon the transition between
corridor and labyrinth again. A few occasions I was able, by mashing the
buttons, to break the blackout and get the game to resume, but this was only
in some of the cases where the music continued to play. Many times, the
transition is completed. In some of those cases, the Guardian is sent back to
an empty orange corridor room. There may or may not be portals to provide an
exit here. In the cases where there is no exit, completing the corridor is
basically a trap. Many times, the Guardian is sent back to the active
corridor room and either the same corridor remains open or a completely
different corridor is there! That new corridor may be open or closed. Rarely
does the Guardian return and the corridor explode and leave an item like it
would normally in the game. Many times that second corridor blacks out upon
entry, but sometimes they are playable. Double-links, one playable corridor
which when beaten leads to a new corridor at the same coordinates which is
also playable is a semi-common occurrence. Once I found a triple-link and a
quadra-link. That is noted under weird occurrences.
In the Lost Frontier, the coordinate system is not exact. I’ve noticed the
existence of staggered coordinates. The same Corridor is frequently found in
several rooms located at coordinates close to one another. This made me think
the coordinate system doesn’t matter for precision, just for ballpark area
(though I noted the precise coordinates I found corridors and minibosses at).
I don’t know why, but that’s the way it is. I also noticed sometimes the same
room can be found as a possibility in an adjacent room, a rarely occurring
room with a portal on the same side, thresholds on the same side, and
sometimes even the same enemies. Staggered coordinates apply to all types and
categories of rooms it seems.
Theory: Just as the variability of the rooms in the Lost Frontier seem to
intensify with the higher the Y value, so to do the coordinates become less
exact it seems.
There are also some areas or rooms which seem to be a nexus of corridors.
These are a grouping of coordinates which have rooms which produce many
corridors and produce them at a frequent occurrence (some special rooms seem
to produce empty orange corridor rooms always). In these areas, corridors
can be found with great ease.
The game is affected by some of the same game mechanics: the labyrinths do not
change from one Area to another without having to pass through a portal and
there is in most cases a buffer room (Lander, textbox, corridor, etc), and
you cannot wander from a labyrinth screen into a corridor room, Lander room
of any type, or text box room without passing through a portal. You also
cannot enter a Corridor unless you have jumped through the gate in the
Corridor room. Labyrinth enemies will never appear in Corridors, but some
Corridor enemies have been found in the labyrinths. There are instances,
though, of a labyrinth turning into a Labyrinth-Corridor and of taking a
portal directly from one Labyrinth Area to another Labyrinth Area. This is
very rare though. I took a portal and went directly from Area 2 X4 Y224 to
Area 8 X4 Y223. Another time, I took a portal and went from Area 8 to Area
8 without passing through a buffer room.
Some rooms seem to almost always be the same. For example, some in the Y0
series are always a Corridor room or a labyrinth room with a portal on the
top fringe of the screen. Many rooms also have a frequency of appearing the
same way. This can be seen easily especially in the Y255 and Y254 rows of
rooms, where they all look like the three-way Area 0 room or the Area 4 room
open only on one side, to the left. With some row in the low Y230s in Area 9,
it frequently occurs as a desert room with only a threshold on the left.
Often with jungle labyrinths in some areas, it is common to get screens with
a threshold on the left only as well. Water areas seem to have equal
probabilities of either a room with only a threshold on the left or only a
threshold on the right. Obviously exitless rooms are a very high possibility
in each area.
If you walk through the walls back onto a room on the real map of NAJU, it
projects the current Area you were in on the other side of that wall onto the
real Area. For example, walking from an Area 0 room into a real Area 9 room
would make that desert labyrinth look like Area 0, except it would display
the same enemies, except for the spider-donuts and little slimes, which will
not have their Area 9 colors, rather, they would have their Area 0 colors.
Area 0 music would play too. Minibosses are playable here. Entering warp
portals in these template-exchanged Areas will result in you going back to
the real Area and not the overlapped area. All corridors play normally
because when you enter them via portal, using the portal sends you back to
the real area. This layering confusion also occurs in Metroid and is in
fact what causes the Hidden Worlds in that game.
Glitched corridors appear the same way every time you jump into them at that
set of coordinates. They may be consistent across the board for that set of
coordinates, or they may vary wildly. It’s not just completely random garbled
jumble of component images, it has the same pattern each time. Hitting the
select button often can change their appearance to a completely different
background and even make enemies appear where there were none. Basically, the
enemies are associated with the background, not the corridor itself. With
some, the corridor remains the same, just some component of the background or
the whole background remains glitched permanently (i.e. cannot be undone).
With many types of glitched corridors though, select can make it swap between
half a dozen background or well over 2 dozen backgrounds (many of those
backgrounds are variations on the same theme with a minute difference
though). Many of the glitched corridor backgrounds are just endlessly
looping. From one, I suspect that the corridor may only be about 1-3 screens
long and just looped over and over. With some however, they have had a unique
pattern while flying several minutes into it.
Every time I went to the X24 column, it was always an exitless overworld room
or an exitless orange corridor room and there was always a slight delay when
transitioning from an X23 room to an X24 room, longer than the usual
transition time. The same applied for X255 rooms. X24 and X255 form barrier
rooms. It is possible to get past it with other passwords, but it is not
possible by wandering.
With Save Lander rooms in the Lost Frontier, if you hit A and go to the
password, then click "go out", the Save Lander room will disappear. Often you
will be in an Area 0 exitless room. Sometimes the room will be of any of the
11 area types and have an exit or just be another exitless room of different
areas. Other possibilities include corridor rooms or the game blacking out.
I noticed, even with a Save Lander at the same coordinates that the password
it gives you varies. I noticed this even when I used save states inside a
Save Lander room.
Save Lander rooms in the Lost Frontier do give passwords, but those passwords
do not bring you to that coordinate. Those passwords bring you to a place on
a 32 x 32 grid or cause the game to crash. The password will bring you to the
same X coordinate as the Save Lander room in the Lost Frontier, but you will
be at a different Y coordinate, Y0-31. I've checked, and there is a
consistent pattern. For example, any Save Lander room in the Y223 row ends
up sending you to Y31 and any in Y224 sends you to Y0.And X22 Y032 (correct,
I mean Y32 and not Y232) had passwords that sent me to X22 Y0. I surmise
from this, that the Lost Frontier (beyond the 32 x 32 grid) has Save Landers
that record passwords that send you to the same X coordinate, but a
different Y coordinate. Starting with Y032, it sends you to Y0, and counts
upward until it reaches Y31 and then repeats over and over again all the
way through to Y255.
The majority of screens here have no enemies, but sometimes, I’ve encountered
enemies. More can be read about that in the next section.
Some portals, even if on one side of the screen, don’t necessarily send you
one room in that direction. I’ve encountered portals on the right side of the
screen which sent me to the room adjacent to the room I’m in on the left.

This section is incomplete. It will continue to be developed when further
information and discoveries become available.
The basis of this are the game's hex numbers in the code. Numbers encode for
some value, some property, be it music, graphics, weapons, whatnot.
The same numbers are used for many different types of properties. The game
is able to read these numbers based on where they are in the game's code.
It is able to tell 0B in one place means one thing, and 0B in another
place means a very different thing. I will list all the hex values for
known properties of the game for reference since everything after them
utilizes the data they have.

object values 12 and above I cannot determine.
The first string of code I received from my source (Kuzeelar) contains the
music for the Corridors. Every line of code below this are the lines that
come after it. All of these lines contain the data for all the corridors,
including the ones numbering above 22.
Hex Code for music in Corridors 0-22
Corridor 0- 1E [Track 30: Corridor 0]
Corridor 1- 15 [Track 21: water corridors]
Corridor 2- 15 [Track 21: water corridors]
Corridor 3- 04 [Track 4: jungle corridors]
Corridor 4- 04 [Track 4: jungle corridors]
Corridor 5- 05 [Track 5: arctic corridors]
Corridor 6- 05 [Track 5: arctic corridors]
Corridor 7- 0C [Track 12: organic corridors]
Corridor 8- 0C [Track 12: organic corridors]

The next string of code which occurs directly after the musical string is the
one that encodes for the weapons you receive from beating the corridor.
Corridor 0- __ (it's blank)
Corridor 1- 07 [Repeller]
Corridor 2- 09 [Saber Laser]
Corridor 3- 0C [Energy Tank]
Corridor 4- 00 [MultiBullet]
Corridor 5- 0B [Enemy Erasers]
Corridor 6- 06 [Area Blaster]
Corridor 7- 0A [Cutter Laser]
Corridor 8- 03 [Bullet Shield]
Corridor 9- 06 [Area Blaster]
Corridor 10- 0B [Enemy Erasers]
Corridor 11- 04 [Grenade]
Corridor 12- 08 [Hyper Laser]
Corridor 13- 0F [Shield Booster]
Corridor 14- 0D [Blue Lander]
Corridor 15- 11 [Red Lander]
Corridor 16- 01 [Backfire]
Corridor 17- 09 [Saber Laser]
Corridor 18- 05 [Fireball]
Corridor 19- 0F [Shield Booster]
Corridor 20- 0E [Attack Booster]
Corridor 21- __ (it's blank)
Corridor 22- __ (it's blank)
But, Kuzeelar determined by looking at the corridor weapons line of code
that the music played in Corridors 23-42, the music's hex numbers,
corresponded precisely with the weapons' (well, they're not all weapons,
such as the Landers and Boosters, but that's beside the point) hex numbers.
Basically, for corridors numbering above 22, the game gets confused and
thinks the line below the corridor music code is a continuation of the
corridor music code. So, looking at the above table, renumbering the
corridors to be 23-42 and looking up the hex number for music and not
weapons, this is what we get. Note that the line of code where I have
designated it is blank apparently skips those corridors, with some other
line of code taking precedence. The game is apparently able to tell it
should skip Corridors 0, 21, 22 for weapons and doesn't interpret
07 [Repeller], the prize for Corridor 1, as the prize for Corridor 0.
Anyway,
Corridor #- hex [music track]- ***= confirmed to match
Corridor 23- 07 [Track 7: Labyrinth 1,2,5,7]- ***
Corridor 24- 09 [Track 9: Labyrinth 0]- ***
Corridor 25- 0C [Track 12: organic corridors- real one]
Corridor 26- 00 [nothing]- ***
Corridor 27- 0B [Track 11: organic corridors- fake one]- ***
Corridor 28- 06 [Track 6: boss music #2/miniboss]
Corridor 29- 0A [Track 10: game over]
Corridor 30- 03 [Track 3: boss music #1- "military aquatica"]
Corridor 31- 06 [Track 6: boss music #2/miniboss]
Corridor 32- 0B [Track 11: organic corridors- fake one]- ***
Corridor 33- 04 [Track 4: jungle corridors]
Corridor 34- 08 [Track 8: desert corridors]
Corridor 35- 0F [Track 15: ending music]
Corridor 36- 0D [Track 13: Labyrinth 6,9]
Corridor 37- 11 [Track 17: active corridor room- <><> one]- ***
Corridor 38- 01 [Track 1: title screen]- ***
Corridor 39- 09 [Track 9: Labyrinth 0]- ***
Corridor 40- 05 [Track 5: arctic corridors]
Corridor 41- 0F [Track 15: ending music]
Corridor 42- 0E [Track 14: Labyrinth 10]- ***
There is near perfect correlation with my corridor notes. The exceptions are
basically exclusively versions of real corridors (Corridors 0-22) playing as
that number. Corridors 25, 29, 30, 33, 34, 35, 36, 41 could not be
confirmed because all versions were either sealed or blacked out upon entry.
Corridor 28 could not be confirmed since it has not yet been encountered.
Corridor 31 had 1 version play miniboss music, but many did not play any
music. The one unique version of Corridor 40 that worked played no music.
Corridor 26 is a bizarre corridor with a double transformation sequence, the
1st being normal, the 2nd being a silent one on a glitched red background
which blacks out when completed. If hex 00 means no music is played,
then we have a confirmed match.
We can explain away all exceptions as an example of false labels! The music
code allows us to determine which Corridors numbering 23-42 are really
23-42 and which ones are impostors, mislabelled corridors.
Using this pattern, it follows that the line of code below the weapon prize
code will contain the music for Corridors 43+. The line of code encodes for
the graphical loading data for the corridor (the habitat, the environment,
the template, the set of graphics that will be loaded). Here is the line
of code as it is properly read in the game.
Corridor 0- 20 [space environment]
Corridor 1- 21 [water environment]
Corridor 2- 21 [water environment]
Corridor 3- 22 [jungle environment]
Corridor 4- 22 [jungle environment]
Corridor 5- 23 [arctic environment]
Corridor 6- 23 [arctic environment]
Corridor 7- 24 [organic environment]
Corridor 8- 24 [organic environment]
Corridor 9- 26 [desert environment- type II]
Corridor 10- 26 [desert environment- type II]
Corridor 11- 21 [water environment]
Corridor 12- 21 [water environment]
Corridor 13- 22 [jungle environment]
Corridor 14- 22 [jungle environment]
Corridor 15- 23 [arctic environment]
Corridor 16- 23 [arctic environment]
Corridor 17- 24 [organic environment]
Corridor 18- 24 [organic environment]
Corridor 19- 25 [desert environment- type I]
Corridor 20- 25 [desert environment- type I]
Corridor 21- 25 [desert environment- type I]
Corridor 22- 20 [space environment]
Apparently, the desert environment has 2 types, something no other
environment has. Now, for how that set of hex values is played for music
in more of the corridors.

They're all sound effects since only hex values 01- 1E encode for musical
tracks. All my data on Corridors 43-65 matches up with no music. I never
recorded sound effects, but I do remember hearing some at the start of some
corridors (select button sound, heart collecting sound), so I cannot
confirm these with precision. But, I have 2 exceptions, Corridor 47
(one version played desert corridor music [hex 08]) and Corridor 64
(one version played Labyrinth 0 music [hex 09]).
I can confirm that Corridor 56 does produce the sound effect listed in the
hex.
The following is the hex values for after the graphic set. It is unknown what
they encode for in the game, but here they are for all of the remaining
corridors. No hex values above 47 encode for any sound in the game, so they
are left blank.

here after seems to be in error by being one corridor behind if we
do not place it in]

For all of these corridors, my data has no music indicated with the
following exceptions.
I must note, and I will post this in two sections, that I am assuming there
is a blank space for Corridor 66 based on the data I have, which seems to
indicate that placing music track CC at Corridor 66 produces misaligned
data, but placing it at Corridor 67 produces data that fits observations.
If I am wrong and indeed I am simply encountering several corridors
which are falsely labelled by being +1 ahead of the number they are
listed as, they I will correct this data set. I just want all readers
to know this, to know that while Corridors 0-65 are 100% confirmed with
regards to music track hexes, but Corridor 66-127 are not 100% confirmed.
The order is certain, but where it exactly starts does not.
I have encountered several different versions of Corridor 70, all of which
play title screen music. I have encountered several different versions of
Corridor 94, all of which play title screen music. I only encountered
Corridor 97 once in a functional form, and it played jungle corridor music.
Now, according to the original hex values, Corridor 69 and 93 should have
title screen music and Corridor 96 should have the jungle corridor music.
And I played one Corridor 112 which played heart music, the track I have
listed for Corridor 111. That is my justification for inserting the blank
space before CC. If I was wrong and CC was Corridor 66, then
Corridor 127 is hex 55.
Other exceptions to this set are: one version of Corridor 76 plays jungle
corridor music, Corridor 86 & 113 play Labyrinth 1-2 music, Corridor 98
played desert corridor music in some cases and one instance of jungle
corridor music, Corridor 118 played Labyrinth 10 music once, Corridor 120
played Labyrinth 10 music once and organic corridor music once and no music
all other times, and Corridor 127 played miniboss music once. All of this
means these are probably false labels.
Here's the raw data for what comes after the value that plugs into
Corridor 65. I am not sure if this is all part of the same string of code
or multiple strings of code.

Minstrel mentioned the NES Assembly Language and said it cannot put
boundaries on a variable (i.e. only except values between this and that),
plus it lacks failsafes like crashing the program or create some sort of
error response that other programming languages have. Basically, it allows
the game to continue running with error values.
The mechanism behind the Lost Frontier and all of its strangeness is the
game lacks limits placed on its programming (or more precisely, has limits
far beyond the conventional boundaries, such as coordinates going past 0-24,
and even past 31, all the way to 255, and corridors exceeding 22, going as
far as 127). Instead of crashing when faced with such far out values
(such as Y255 as a coordinate), the game reads the code in a manner that
wasn't intended. It will read a separate line of code as if it were a
continuation of the line above it if that is the line of code it turns to
for data. The game continues that manner of reading over whatever a line is
supposed to mean to generate something for the value it is confronted with.
As for the coordinates on the 31 x 31 grid which cannot be passworded into,
they each have a reason why. There is a quality at those coordinates that
when the game reads it, it crashes. I have been informed by Kuzeelar that
a coordinate needs to have an area byte of 80+ to be a corridor. These
coordinates all have problems because they are left of a real room on the
map and in the case of the X23 Y# coordinate rooms, they are read by the
game as being "left" of X0 Y#+1 coordinate rooms. The content of the rooms
they are to the left of creates the problem. There are many rooms which
are left of real rooms which do load up.
Here are the reasons why for some coordinates:

[1006]
The majority of the screens in the Lost Frontier have no enemies. Some
screens though, have enemies. Many of the enemies are common enemies found
in the game. Enemies have certain appearance patterns, appearing in some
Areas, but not others. In here, however, enemies are not bound by these
patterns and enemies appear in Areas they never did, like the Skeleton
Warrior that runs down the screen, laying a trail of slimes can appear in
Area 0 here. Some corridor enemies can even appear in the labyrinths. The
blue spherical creatures with a mouth of sharp teeth that appear in the
desert corridors can be found in several Areas. There are a few other
crossover enemies as well. Now, in Corridor rooms, text box rooms, Save
Lander rooms, and merchant Lander rooms, there are normally no enemies.
However, here there are enemies in some of these rooms. The most common
occurrence is glitched or unglitched blue mouth-spheres from the desert
corridors in the empty orange corridor rooms. There are also glitched
enemies in the labyrinths which do give points when defeated and sometimes
powerup boxes. In the desert parts of the frontier, especially in the far
northeast, the giant brown skulls are in the labyrinth, as are the jumping
blue mouths, who are also found in the ice areas of the labyrinth. Some of
the corridors numbering above 22 have glitched out enemies as do some
alternate corridors.
There are commonly enemies in empty orange corridor rooms, but I’ve seen some
enemies in active corridor rooms, always glitched up though (like mirror-rdrr
in the Corridor 13 rooms). With walking through walls, I’ve encountered sky
blue slimes, orange rocks, and green squids in dummy corridor rooms.
Many times, enemies will appear glitched, especially in corridors. The image
files seem arranged in categories, where for some, a displaced enemy may look
normal, like the Green Flying Skull Miniboss looks in Areas 0,1,2, yet in
others, like Areas 3,4,5,6,7,8, it looks glitched. A glitched appearance
means the image file is not in the "folder" (that Area, which encompasses
Labyrinth and Corridor). The desert files seem to be in with the water files
as the Flying Blue Skulls, Flying Green Skulls, and Giant Brown Skulls all
appear just fine graphically, but glitched in other areas. There is a copy
of Clawbot that appears in several miniboss rooms. It can’t fire but clearly
has the same set of behaviors and procedures as Clawbot. However, it does
not look like Clawbot, merely an arrangement of Guardian sprites in the
pattern of Clawbot. This is because Clawbot cannot be properly imaged in
the Areas it appears in, so it substitutes the Guardian’s images for its
component images. For monsters that have no files to draw on, they appear
invisible. I’ve never seen an invisible enemy deal harm, but they can be
hurt and give you points. Notice how every enemy in glitched corridors look
glitched. That’s because there are no images in the glitch folder. It’s
just a garbled construct. However, the only enemy that definitively appears
here are the Turrets, which only appear in Area 0’s Corridor 0. And I’ve
seen them with color palettes unseen in the game (white shell, gray turret,
red shell, green turret, and light green shell, green turret). The Guardian’s
appearance also varies in these corridors (likely due to color palette
limitations, since Nintendo had a limit of only 8 colors on the screen at a
given time). The normal Guardian is red, white, and black, with light blue
pulse fire and engine jets. I’ve seen the Guardian as orange and white with
light pulse & jet fire or green pulse fire (green pulse fire was only one
instance), as red, white, and light blue with orange pulse & get fire, and
also red, white, and black with red pulse & jet fire or orange jet & pulse
fire. The most bizarre one was a yellow & green Guardian with red pulse
& jet fire.
In some of the corridors are "instanced bosses". These are bosses that only
appear when you use select too much. Almost every time that are assembled out
of the graphics of the Guardian, which again is a sign there is no graphic
template for it, so it uses the Guardian’s, or a part of it to be specific,
to assemble itself. Many times, I enter the exact same Corridor at the exact
same coordinates and I get 2 very different "bosses" or sometimes no boss at
all. However, in several corridors, I observed the same "boss", albeit
different colors, what I call "fragment boss" for lack of a better term.
It behaves the same each and every time. I still don't know why glitches
that seemingly arise out of nothing significant can have a behavior pattern
of their own.
Once, in an Area 0 room, I encountered 8 of those red mechanical spiders at a
time! You will recognize those spiders as minibosses in the later levels and
enemies in Area 10. And when I destroyed one, another immediately replaced
it. I would have to guess there were around 24 of them. The room was X5 Y223.
You can read more about encounters like this in one of the sections further
down where I document all the weird experiences I had in the Lost Frontier.
I should note there are many times when you kill an enemy and another appears
soon after. In this case, there are more enemies programmed for the room
than can be displayed and all the other enemies don't just get forgotten
about; they remain in queue until an enemy is defeated, then they will
appear. There is one time in the regular game this occurs, which is with
those green asteroids raining down on some desert labyrinth rooms. If you
wait long enough, they will run out. There are no enemies in truly infinite
supply.

Virtually all the corridor enemies leave powerups, and some are very generous
with powerups, dropping Energy Tanks often.
rdrr: this enemy is a block of 4 letters found in some corridors. It tends
to fly at the Guardian in large streams/packs from the lower right-hand side
of the screen. Another rdrr has a different behavior, floats slowly in a
pack of 2-4 from the sides of the screen (the description I gave is for the
most common version of rdrr)
r d
r r
mirror-rdrr: this enemy is a block of 4 letters found in some corridors. It
is a mirror image of rdrr and tends to come from the left while rdrr comes
from the right. It looks something like:
b ,
, ,
Note that rdrr and b,,, are the same. If the enemy faces right it's rdrr,
left its b,,,. Also note that not all rdrrs are the same. Several different
enemies display as rdrr. If b,,, acts the same as rdrr, then it is the same
enemy, but if it acts different, it is a different enemy.
Duck: this enemy is a block of 5 letters found only in Corridor 100. It tends
to fly at the Guardian in a steady stream from the right to lower-right-hand
side of the screen. Yes, it is very weird and amazing that of all the
possible letter combinations, this one spells duck. Yes, the 4 letters are
d,u,c,k, and an ! in the upper right.
d c !
u k
hmsv suhl d: slow moving, slightly larger enemy
hmsv

ot: small, vertical floating enemy
o

hs"w sr"s uh: another enemy

invisible enemies: found in one corridor, they cannot interact with you but
explode into a blue and white cloud (300 pts in some instances, 200 pts in
another instance, 500 pts inanother instance)
glitched red bubble spitters: these are those little things found in the ice
corridors which just spin around spitting diamond-bubbles out, only they
look extremely glitched.
blue sand piles: spit flashing chevrons, emerge from the side of the screen
(300 pts)
hidden red & blue giant desert skulls: glitched counterparts of the giant
desert skulls hidden under red rubble
hidden small eyes: those red eyes hidden in the ground. They are probably
those little one-eyed shellfish from the Water corridors
morphing tiles: when hit they make a pretty big explosion
rotating fixed flashing projectiles: exactly what I said it was
black holes: spit a series of diamond bubbles. They can be destroyed
clouds of blue gas: make no sound when hit/destroyed
green clouds: accompanied by explosion sounds, touching them hurts you.
They often leave item boxes
dark blue clouds: accompanied by explosion sounds, touching them hurts you.
They often leave item boxes
bubble spitters: unknown fixed enemies which spit out those diamond-bubbles
unknown flashing projectile spitters: they were not rdrr
hidden shellfish: when hit they make the sounds like those shellfish
organisms that spew bubbles in the Water corridors
hidden buried enemies: exactly that, hidden underneath the ground, they
cannot be seen, but when destroyed take out a piece of the landscape with
them. What the ground looks like varies from corridor to corridor. They
usually leave a large circular crater (300 pts)
hidden enemies that spit twisted red projectiles: the projectiles would arc
up and down at you
hidden enemies under flat white bricks: there are a whole series of them in a
straight vertical line going back forever (200 pts)
Red Giant Turrets: look exactly like the Defense System Turrets in Corridor
0, only they are a green turret encased in a red casing
Gray Giant Turrets: look exactly like the Defense System Turrets in Corridor
0, only they are a gray turret encased in gray rubble
Small Green Turrets: look exactly like Corridor 0's small turrets. Shoot
flashing projectiles
Green Giant Quarter-Turrets: look like the Defense System Turrets, but only
1 corner(1/4th) of the whole enemy.
Small Strange Turrets: look like red turrets in a white casing, they shoot
rdrr as a projectile
"Bosses": These are things found in the corridors which make the sound of
bosses being hit or minibosses being hit. They are undefeatable. Some have
been found to reoccur, others I suspect only arise from certain elements of
how the corridor is played. They also, when they come in contact with the
Guardian, cause her shields to activate (which indicate she is taking
damage). The exact same corridor at the same coordinates can produce
different results each time with these instanced bosses.
Orange Square: an orange square made out of fragments, mostly empty, which
tracks the Guardian's vertical movement. Sometimes it can teleport, sometimes
it can't.
Guardian Ship Wreckage: a few pieces of the Guardian’s ship which hang out
in one corner doing nothing.
String of Pearls: 8 red-white explosion clouds arranged in the form of
"a string of pearls" along the bottom of the screen. They would flicker in
a random pattern and when they flickered, they revealed a red ring which
was vulnerable to being hit. 2 or 3 would flicker at any one time out of
the 8.
7 Pirahna Plants: made out of fragments of the Guardian's ship, they would
randomly appear, with a vertical portion rising up, then receding, then
disappear and repeat that cycle. They looked like piranha plants from
Super Mario Bros. They were only vulnerable when the vertical part was
raised and behaved a bit like the Donut Spider-thing Miniboss
Gem Wall: a giant, slightly arced wall of gem-like fragments which tracked
you horizontally. It spanned the length of the entire screen from top to
bottom. There was a small orange gem fragment with a small orange cloud
above it on the opposite side of the wall. Both, firing at this "core" and
the wall itself would result in the sound like that of a boss/miniboss
being hit
Dark Wings: 2 dark blue "wings", they would move around the screen fast,
with only 2 possible forms of movement: directly horizontal or directly
vertical
Hourglass Tracker: shaped like an hourglass with a green pyramid of sorts
on the bottom of the screen and a white, red, and light blue inverted
pyramid on the top of the screen, both of which track your movement
horizontally at the same time.
Single Shot: made up of one of the Guardian's shots, it tracks the
Guardian both horizontally and vertically
Red Shots: made up of 8 Guardian's shots colored red, they tracked the
Guardian vertically
Red & Blue Glitched Blocks: 2 glitched blocks, one red, one blue. They
both moved back and forth horizontally at the same position, blue on
top, red on bottom
Dark Dogs: a few collections of dark blue glitched blocks which look
like they are "wagging their tail" (I don't know how else to describe it). I
encountered them a few times at different coordinates
Chain Bosses: glitched block with clear segments in a chain separated by
space. It moves back and forth, reaching out from the top of the screen only
at angles. There were 8 of them on the screen, 6 were normal colored, 2 were
shadow colored (dark). Shooting them made the sound of bullets bouncing off
armor. They would rearrange their base positions very slowly over time.
I also encountered these another time and there were 4 of them behaving
the same way.
Unique String: 4 things lined up horizontally, a red small cloud, a blue
small cloud, a small red explosion, and another small red cloud. They each
spit different colored "double-bits" (2 little circles of the same color
joined together)- red double-bits, orange double-bits, blue double-bits. They
tracked the Guardian vertically.
Thundercloud: a small light blue cloud that spit out little red double-bits
Seeker: a medium sized square of ship fragments which moves around fast in
horizontal and vertical lines, shooting out diamond-bubbles. It moves like
bosses from some other NES games, but does not move at all like any enemy or
boss in TGL.
Broken Light/Dark Face: glitched object with a light half and dark half
which teleports around. Each half is very large, boss sized, and it
resembles 2 halves of a broken face
Dark Small Objects: 2 small dark objects. My notes are incomplete on them
I have no idea why these instanced "bosses" get created, but they are
glitched graphics which become enemies basically.
Now for the only real bosses I encountered. They appear when you use select
after a while in some corridors. A few times, they appear at the start of a
corridor before you even do anything, even before using select.
Mystery Fragment Boss- This one has been found in a few different corridors
and has a definite behavior to it. From saving screen shots, I’ve found its
appearance morphs back and forth between 2 fairly similar looking fragmental
arrangements. To the new observer, it just looks like a bunch of fragments
dancing around the screen, but when you pause the game, the fragments always
have the same arrangement. These "fragments" move in a specific pattern and
even spit projectiles. The "fragments" are actually an extremely fast moving
"boss" which spits diamond-bubbles every so often, moves in a circular
pattern and seems to leave what may be glitched seaweed trails every so
often. Some of these I observed were the red type, and some were the blue
type based on its color and the color of the glitched seaweed it leaves. I
suspect this boss is partially patterned on Optomon, but it does move in a
very un-Optomon pattern, circling around you. I would call it Two-Face or
Janus since it flips back and forth between these 2 slightly different
faces.
[Red one: Corridor 22-ALT, 24, 32, 74, 76, 126]- moves in a hyper-fast
circling pattern. Once, on the face of this one in Corridor 32, there was a
series of numbers on the left side and the mirror reflection of those
numbers on the right. The display was as follows, with the
mirror-reflection numbers being in brackets:
2 [2]
3 [3]
04[4][0]
15[5][1]
[Blue one: Corridor 24, 32]- moves in a hyper-fast circling pattern
[Green one: Corridor 24]- moves in a hyper-fast circling pattern
[Dark Blue one: Corridor 24]- moved in a hyper-fast circling pattern
[Red-white-light blue one: Corridor 24]- would appear, fade out, and reappear
at the same position on the screen. It was like it was teleporting, but it
kept appearing in the same position. Another time, it was just stuck in the
same place, unable to teleport.
This one I can confirm is beatable, but has HP= 4294 Chips worth of hits with
LV1 Cutter Saber (the side lasers) with every hit scoring. Beating it nets
10,000 points
Glitched Clawbot- constructed from ship fragments, only the arms were
visible. It opened up its arms at a moderate frequency, but only maybe 1
in 10 times or so did a glitched superbeam come out. It tracked the Guardian
horizontally [Corridor 24]
Glitched Zibzub- constructed from red & white parts of the Guardian's ship,
it has 2 graphics templates, each looking very close to one another. It hops
around seeking you out, just like Zibzub. It has no projectiles. [Corridor
22-ALT]
Red Pyramid- looks like a giant red pyramid which resembles no boss in the
game. I encountered it once briefly, but the game glitched out. I managed to
encounter it again, but 1 hit from it killed the Guardian instantly, causing
the ship to explode and then freeze looking unexploded [Corridor 126]
Glitched Cone- It looks like an elongate object, cone-like which doesn't
move, doesn't fire any projectiles and teleports around after a long period
of time. It seems that one hit from it kills you instantly, at least in the
orange and blue varieties; the red-white-light blue one did not have that
property. It doesn't resemble any boss in the game. In terms of size,
it is the size of Zibzub's conical head, excluding the tentacles. The blue
and orange ones just randomly teleported around with no other behaviors,
but the red-white-light blue one not only teleported around, but tracked
the Guardian's vertical movement and always kept a certain distance
from her, so if she advanced, it would retreat and when she retreated, it
would advance. This one also took a long time to teleport around,
disappearing for a while before appearing again.

There are Minibosses here too. Some are real and appear, some are invisible
and cannot be interacted with and can never be defeated, some are invisible
and are instantly defeated automatically. All the time for these, the green
blocks appear by connecting rooms and the miniboss music sounds and when
defeated they leave an item box. A few times when you hear the warning
klaxons on some screens, the game instantly gets a very glitched appearance
and freezes.
Sometimes the minibosses leave a regular item, sometimes they leave some
weird glitched object which often has no effect or has the effect of being
a music box, changing the tune that is being played.
And even stranger, I've found minibosses in some corridor rooms! This is
extremely rare and the game often experiences a near-total slowdown and
then freezes in these situations.
Can there be enemies in miniboss rooms? Yes. One Miniboss room I found
(Area 10 X4 Y222) had ~8 jumping blue piranha mouths and 2 floating blue
(long) skulls. Once they were all dead, klaxons sounded, the green
barriers formed, and the miniboss sequence was activated. Enemies can be
in miniboss rooms, but its clear programmers wanted to keep all miniboss
rooms clear. What can we learn from this? The miniboss protocol only
activates when there are no other enemies in the room.
Notice that for the same coordinates, even for the same Area, different
Minibosses can occur. Also notice that staggered coordinates exist for
Minibosses too.
For reference, here are all the normal minibosses in the game and
where they are encountered. In parentheses is what item you win from
them there:

Red Nuisance- Area 8 (Red Lander)
Giant Ice Crystal- Area 5 (Shield Booster)
Green Flying Skull- Area 10 (Shield Booster)
Glider- Area 10 (Enemy Erasers)
Here is a list of all minibosses I encountered:
Green Sentry-Spider- Area 0,8
Blue Sentry-Spider- Area 0,8
Red Donut Worm (1-split)- Area 0
Red Donut Worm (2-split)- Area 1 *
*= not found in the normal game
Red Donut Worm (3-split)- Area 4
Blue Donut Worm (7-split)- Area 8 *
*= not found in the normal game
Green Bubble Crab- Area 8
Blue Bubble Crab- Area 1,6
Red Bubble Crab- Area 0,4
Green Nuisance- Area 0,1,3,4,8,10
Blue Nuisance- Area 5,8
Red Nuisance- Area 10
Giant Ice Crystal- Area 0,5
Glider- Area 3,8,10
Flying rdrr/b,,, palette- Area 0
[it is clearly a glitched version of the Green Flying Skull]
Glitched Green Square- Area 3,4,7
[clearly a glitched version of the Green Flying Skull]
So far, a Red Sentry-Spider has never been encountered in the Lost Frontier
as a miniboss (as an enemy, it's semi-common), nor have Orange or Green
Donut Worms, nor has Red Nuisance.
I just want to comment here that those Donut Worm minibosses which split
into a number of crawlers, their color is linked to the environment they
appear in and the number they split into is linked with the area. I
encountered some Donut Worms in areas that don't normally have a
Donut Worm as one of their minibosses and also don't split into that
number in the game. I'll provide a summary table:
Area 0- Red Donut Worm (1-split)- normal game & Lost Frontier
Area 1- Red Donut Worm (2-split)- Lost Frontier only
Area 2- ?????- never encountered, probably red and splits in 2/3
Area 3- Red Donut Worm (3-split)- normal game
Area 4- Red Donut Worm (3-split)- Lost Frontier only
Area 5- ?????- never encountered, probably orange and splits in 3/4
Area 6- Orange Donut Worm (4-split)- normal game
Area 7- Blue Donut Worm (6-split)- normal game
Area 8- Blue Donut Worm (7-split)- Lost Frontier only
Area 9- Green Donut Worm (7-split)- normal game
Area 10- ?????- never encountered, probably green and splits in 7/8
There are pseudo-minibosses. These are boss-like creatures which appear
in the miniboss room, but which are not the miniboss. We know this because
they appear about at the same time as the item appears and you can collect
the item, causing the green barriers to have one block in each turn brown so
you can leave the screen. Thus, they appear independent of the miniboss
protocol and load up after the miniboss or the absence of the miniboss
disappears. Well, here they are.
Orange Glitched Clawbot- Area 1,2,3,4,6,8,9,10
(It's worth 20,000 points, the main body)
Oranged Glitched Clawbot with blue fragment field filling screen- Area 6,8
Green Glitched Clawbot- Area 4
Red Glitched Clawbot- Area 4
Red Tower teleporter- Area 7
Blue Tower teleporter- Area 8

Note: coordinates listed as "Area 12 X6 Y19" onscreen.

(registers as real)
Miniboss- Area 3 X5 Y221- glitched green square (clearly the floating

[I’ve seen most often a Green Clawbot glitched here, except this one
opens up and sometimes fires a black & red laser beam! It can be hurt but
cannot be killed. Once I saw a Red Clawbot glitched here which could not
be hurt, could open up and fire a glitched laser]; a strange thing about
this room is at first there is 16 Ghost Mouths on the screen as the
klaxons sound
(this is in the southern realm and is X21 Y[0]32)
Miniboss- Area 4 X6 Y219- never appears, leave a glitch box which when

[but on this screen, an orange ghost of the Guardian appears in the shape
of Clawbot, no beam, it mirrors your movements, fire at it, it makes
miniboss sound, then long orange vertical part detaches and with a few more
shots explodes, leaving a red Guardian fragment part which when it takes
enough rounds turns orange, then explodes].

Miniboss- Area 4 X4 Y252- never appears, leaves Bullet Shield

when collected mutes all sound
Miniboss- Area 5 X10 Y219- never appears, leaves item box which
when collected mutes all sound
Note: coordinates listed as "Area 12 X6 Y19" on screen.
This is due to a mapping error that occurs around X6 Y19
Miniboss- Area 5 X19 Y219- never appears, leaves item box which
when collected mutes all sound
Miniboss- Area 5 X3 Y220- never appears, leaves item box, which

Miniboss- Area 6 X21 Y221- never appears, leaves Repeller
Miniboss- Area 6 X14 Y241- never appears, leaves Square Warp Portal, which
when collected plays organic corridor music and registers as having
collected "Enemy Erasers: 0"
[orange images of the Guardian appear here together, obviously a glitched
Clawbot. They only track you, never opening. When fired upon they slowly
move down the screen]
Miniboss- Area 6 X15 Y241- never appears, but a blue field of fragments of
the Guardian appears with a cluster of 4 orange Guardians together, moving
slowly back and forth and firing at the orange cluster makes the sound of a
boss/miniboss being hit and can be defeated], leaves behind a blank Warp
Portal, which when touched makes the music change to ice corridor music
(displays a new item on the menu though: Enemy Erasers with 0 uses). The
fragment field is not the miniboss and remains there even after the
miniboss’ box has appeared. It is based on Clawbot based on the same thing
encountered elsewhere.
Miniboss- Area 6 X20 Y242- never appears, leaves Speed Booster
Miniboss- Area 6 X23 Y242- never appears, leaves Hyper Laser
Miniboss- Area 6 X21 Y243- never appears, leaves Speed Booster

Miniboss- Area 7 X21 Y240- never appears, leaves [no Key] Portal, which
when collected, starts playing organic corridor music
Miniboss- Area 7 X21 Y240- never appears, leaves item box which when shot
leaves another item box and when collected creates a double echo effect to
the music, as if there are 2 versions of the tune playing, except the 2nd
one is off-key. There is also an enemy which appears in this room. It is
not the boss since it appears when the item box appears and can be fought
with regular music playing. It is a giant "red tower", a towering red mass
with one blue part. It teleports around the room and has no projectiles.
It absorbs hits like a boss and when destroyed, makes a big explosion, but
beating it plays no victory music. It is very large. Obviously a glitched
transplant of a teleporter boss (Bombarder most likely, possibly Teramute).
Miniboss- Area 7 X20 Y241- glitched green mass, part transparent, spits
orange seeker spheres [is clearly based on the Area 10 miniboss], leaves
"LMNO" box, which when collected causes the game to freeze briefly, then
warps you back to the room you started with, where the top portal leads to
Area 4 (with origin being X4 Y0).
Miniboss- Area 8 X3 Y217- never appears, leaves ?????
[the screen went green & black and the game became very choppy. The
screen started flashing the multiple colors it does when it glitches out.
The music returned after disappearing briefly, and sound could be heard,
like the Guardian firing. I heard the sound of a powerup being collected.
Using select made the game black out]
[another time at these coordinates, it glitched out, went to the multiple
colors, but no sound returned]
Miniboss- Area 8 X3 Y219- Blue Donut Worm (7-split), leaves Grenade

Miniboss- Area 8 X5 Y222- Green Nuisance, leaves item box resembling
one-quarter of a red eye, which when collected plays jungle corridor music
Miniboss- Area 8 X5 Y222- never appears, leaves Shield Booster. There
is an enemy in this room. It is a blue glitch field which tracks with a
glitched version of an orange Clawbot. Basically, it's as if it has this huge
shell of glitched blue fragments. The field goes from blue to green when
it is almost defeated and then disappears when it is defeated
Miniboss- Area 8 X5 Y222- never appears, leaves blank warp portal, which
when collected resets the music
Miniboss- Area 8 X5 Y222- never appears, leaves a black box, which when

collected has no effect

Miniboss- Area 8 X6 Y222- never appears, leaves a t-box, which when
collected plays ice corridor music. Another enemy is in this room, it is
a blue colored large pyramid which teleports around. It is just like the
"red tower", only blue. This "blue tower" is killed with a single shot.
When destroyed, it produces a big explosion.
Miniboss- Area 8 X6 Y222- never appears, leaves HIJK box, which when

to the menu)

(this is the room that produces the glitched Corridor where the gate is made
out of eyes and the floor is black= but only after the miniboss is beaten)
Miniboss- Area 8 X19 Y242- never appears, leaves Grenade (registers as real)
Miniboss- Area 8 X21 Y243- never appears, leaves MultiBullet
Miniboss- Area 8 X21 Y243- never appears, leaves Hyper Laser. Yes,
different points of entry produce different screens and there are 2
different Minibosses for this screen. This one I’ve seen appear the same
way 3 times when it produces the same room.
Miniboss- Area 8 X11 Y246- never appears, leaves black box. Touching it
triggers ice corridor music to play (so it’s a music box)

A glitched orange Clawbot appears independent of the miniboss. When
destroyed, it leaves 8000 pts
Miniboss- Area 9 X18 Y031- never appears. The game glitches up, the
screen goes black, but I was able to make the game come back to the
screen and there was a Cutter Laser there

which when collected plays game over music
Miniboss- Area 9 X4 Y221- never appears, leaves glitched box, which

There is an enemy which appears in this room. It is an extremely
fragmented blue colored teleporting enemy. It resembles a tenuous web.
It changes configuration each time it appears (it has ~8-12 different
configurations). I realized what its shape was and why it was changing.
Wherever it is at on the screen, it fills the cracks. The desert floor has
a large cracked field on it, and the walls have crevices. Thus, I call it
"the Crack-Filler". It took 6 bullet hits with a LV1 Attack Power and
4000+ Chips and when destroyed, produced a big explosion.

There are also Landers that sell regular items, or glitched items. They
frequently sell these items for odd prices. There was a Lander at X5 Y[2]43
selling an item for 9999 Chips. Another screen had an item on sale for 1910
Chips. X8 Y[2]51 had a Lander selling 3 glitched items for 9999 each.
X13 Y[2]51 had a Lander selling 3 items for 1694 each. Sometimes the Lander
would sell real items for reasonable prices, but the same Lander room never
varied what it sold. A Repeller was sold for 9999 Chips also, a Hyper Laser
for 9999 Chips, and an Area Blaster for 8381 Chips. There was also a Lander
selling a Fireball for 1677 Chips. Some screens are the objects for sale or
the choice of one of three and some are copies of real screens found in the
game. One of the funnier ones was a Lander selling a Blue Lander for 9999
Chips
Save Landers are located in strange areas as well.
Some Area 1 screens have 11 Energy Tanks on them. Also, one Area 8 room had
11 MultiBullets on it. Touching them registered as the real item, and when
you touched 3, on the select screen the MultiBullet icon had a purple box
around it. One Area 10 room had 11 H-boxes on it (when collected make sound
of regular gun firing; no changes in item menu). One Area 10 room had 11
Speed Boosters on it. All did register. Collecting all results in one tap
of the button firing 4 bullets in a cluster, regardless if in labyrinth or
corridor. One tap has enough bullets to get rid of the blue warp panel
boxes. 3 sets of these 4-cluster shots can kill Blue Fleepa. Some Area 7
screens had 11 Enemy Erasers on it. Area 8 screens had 11 Blue Landers on
it, or 11 Red Landers on it, or 11 Energy Tanks on it. In one room of Area
1, 2 MultiBullets were on the floor. They both registered. In one room of
Area 2 there was 11 "HIJK" boxes, which made a sound, but nothing else. Here
is an index of the "11s" I found on the screens of different areas:
Area 0- 11 Red Landers, 11 Energy Tanks, 11 Blue Chips
Area 1- 11 Red Landers, 11 Energy Tanks, 11 MultiBullets, 11 Repellers,
11 LMNO boxes (they make the sound of an enemy hitting you)
Area 2- 11 Enemy Erasers, 11 HIJK boxes
Area 3- 11 Red Landers, 11 Backfires
Area 4- none to date
Area 5- 11 Hearts
Area 6- none to date
Area 7- 11 Enemy Erasers
Area 8- 11 MultiBullets, 11 Red Landers, 11 Energy Tanks, 11 Bullet
Shields, 19 MultiBullets, 11 Grenades, 11 blue glitch blocks (play Miniboss
music when collected), 11 HIJK (mute the area music only), 11 red & blue
glitch blocks (silences music), 4 Grenades, 19 Red Landers, 11 black boxes
(play ice corridor music [+ add 10 points to the score]), 11 Hyper Lasers,
11 Fireballs, 11 Bullet Shields, 11 Repellers
Area 9- 11 Cutter Sabers, 11 Enemy Erasers, 11 Wave Attacks
Area 10- 11 Speed Boosters, 11 Fireballs, 11 Backfires, 11 Grenades, 11 H-boxes
There are text box rooms in the Lost Frontier. Some are copies of real
screens in the game. There are quite a few text boxes not found in the game,
however. Many are blank screens (no text). They have no message programmed
into them. Also, the following messages were found on some text boxes: "00",
"0", "Corridor", some indecipherable text (not even letters, weird glyphs),
"[the same text the lander says across from Corridor 4 when you get it to
open up Corridor 4 for you]", "I will sell only one of these to you",
"0000[gibberish]j[gibberish]ZZZZZZZZZ", and "Good Luck!".
Every now and then, you will run across an extremely glitched corridor room.
There is no gate, no sign, and the screen is entirely filled with junk.
Often times, water corridor music will be playing. In every room like this
I encountered, there were portals out of it. The rooms are hard to
navigate through due to all the junk. These rooms are very special because
often when passing through these rooms, I noticed the weapon select box is
over a blank space, and thus, gives the Guardian a glitch weapon (read
more about glitch weapons below). In some situations, these turn parts of
the status bar at the bottom of the screen into junk or whatnot or in two
occasions, mess with the coordinate system where one or both coordinates
don't change even despite you moving coordinates. If you want to get the
teleporter glitch weapon, from my experience, you have to pass through
one of these glitched corridor rooms.
I noticed occasionally there will be invisible walls. On some screens where
there are open thresholds, you can walk to the edge, but you won't scroll
to the next room. Now, on screens where there is a portal box/portal on an
open threshold, those will *never* scroll, but these invisible walls on
screens without portals or sides of the screen without portals are another
matter.
Some regions of this Lost Frontier, such as a region around X16-X18, Y[2]49
is very very labyrinthine, many transitions to orange corridor rooms with
portals that have openings on the top and right. There may be several
Corridors here. The same is with X10-13, X[2]45-48, which is also very
mazy with several orange empty corridor rooms. These areas might be nexuses
of corridors, but they don’t seem to be triggerable or the frequency at which
the Corridor appears in the room is low compared to the frequency the
empty orange corridor room appears.
There are other regions I noticed had things in common with several rooms
that it did not have in common with areas around it. Besides the X24, X[2]55
barriers, there is a "Desert of Instability" where out of 2-3 dozen rooms,
only 1-2 contained a room with a portal as a possibility and a remote one at
that, and every screen had a high probability of miniboss klaxons which
triggered the game to break down. Usually with the break downs, the graphics
develop red & black lines in some areas, then the colored areas morph, and
the graphics get simpler and degrade until the screen goes black. Here, the
screen went mostly black, leaving some desert areas visible, then
immediately went black. It was a much more "chilling" glitch up. Usually
2-3 rooms in an area near one another can have this miniboss glitch-up
possibility, but here I encountered it in room after room after room. That
in itself was highly unusual. Also, the next highest priority was exitless
rooms or rooms open only to the left, occasionally only open to the right.
Progress through this region, which is located around the low Y[2]30s all
the way across was extremely slow and I was lucky to find a way out (it
starts ~Y[2]36 and runs up to I think Y[2]30 all the way across from
X0-X23). Things normalized at lower Y coordinates and got easier to
navigate through. I have never in all my extensive travels encountered
an area where breakdown minibosses could be encountered in around 2
dozen or more rooms.
The other area of note is the "Glitch Forest". It exists in several rooms
around X4 Y[2]51 (move down, right, up, left of it and the whole expanse of
rooms are in this area). Designated Area 4, it produces a high proportion of
uniquely glitched rooms I have found nowhere else, like screens with "patches
of grass", a field of brown flowers, a fairy ring (that’s the term for a ring
of mushrooms), thornbushes in a maze pattern, a field of those strange green
plate plants from Corridor 14, an arrow of strange red curls, a maze of
those strange red curls, a maze of strange green glyphs on the ground, a
field of things that look like wooden totems, a field where "8"s are grown,
a square of lycopods (horsetail ferns), a screen with over a dozen of those
red crawling donut things, and more. There was also a weird patch of grass
screen here which had several Jumping Ghostmouths, a swarm of glitched red
masses which would arc down from the sky and arc back up, sometimes 5 at a
time, and the Multiplying Spider too. This was all on a single screen! I
think I saw the mushroom square in one other place but all of those other
rooms I only found there.
There is also a very glitched patch around X4-6 Y221-223 where the forest
looked very strange and had many glitched up screens. Another time, I arrived
here in Area 9, the desert, and got some very glitched up screens, though
they had little variation, a field of "thunderbolt" symbols on orange
background and skull faces which can be shot at. That was X4-6 Y221-23 or so.
Therefore, I conclude this is a glitch zone for any and all area types. I
would call it "Glitch Valley" and it seems to extend from X4-6 Y221-23. Why
call it valley? Because it's a small patch of rooms. I've seen it glitched as
several different areas. These coordinates consistently produced glitched
results.
There is also "120 Alley", a few rows (Y[2]21-Y[2]22) of room after room
where Corridor 120 can be found, open, with glitch blocks on it in a square
which one touched trigger the game ending music. In 120 Alley there are some
regular rooms and other corridors as well.
I noticed the whole Y[2]20 row is extremely difficult to advance through,
ending up arriving in an exitless room of any Area type. I was able to break
through it though, but found a whole row which is even more difficult to pass
through, Y17 [Y217] which is actually on the southern part of the map ring
after one whole looping. Y[2]18-Y[2]19 were filled with normal rooms. I
would call these the "220 Wall" andthe "217 Great Wall". There is also a
"218 Wall" where virtually all the rooms at this row are exitless rooms or
empty orange corridor rooms without portals. Y219 does not seem affected by
this however.
I also noticed patterns in where some Corridors are found often, yet huge
areas devoid of those same Corridors. This may just be staggered coordinates
or something more, but I’ve also seen this with the glitched corridors. The
black & white geometric pattern corridors are only found in the rooms in
the Y-coordinates just north of the map’s northernmost border. There is also
a red steel girder grid corridor which is only found in one small area and
is not universal, like many other glitch corridor "habitats" are. It seems
strange, but there are definitive patterns here. The nature of the Lost
Frontier is hard to assess and only be exploring can one find regions that
have commonalities, like the Desert of Instability, the Glitch Forest, and
120 Alley. And, at the same coordinates, but a different set of
Z-coordinates on a different layer, may have a different area or even just
be the average format for most of the Frontier. In other words, it’s
virtually impossible for any one person to find all the different areas in
the Lost Frontier.
When you beat a Corridor of the numbers 1-20 in the Lost Frontier and return
to the labyrinth, the game registers you as having beaten the real Corridor
and the blinking indicator on the real map where that Corridor’s location is
in the game goes out. The same applies for Corridors numbering over 22 which
play as copies of a Corridor numbered 1-20. Examples are Corridor 36, which
is identical to Corridor 16. Beating Corridor 36 will make the indicator for
the real Corridor 16 will go out. This applies even if you beat the boss,
then reappear in the same room with the gate still open. From this we can
confirm:
{@} A corridor is "beaten" when the boss is defeated, not when the corridor
explodes and the gate is sealed
{@} Any corridor numbering 1-22 appearing outside their official location
is still a legitimate version of the corridor and beating it will
result in the official version also being beaten.
{@} Corridors have multiple points of entry. Think of it as one highway,
many different on-ramps.
{@} Any Corridor numbered 23-127 which plays identical to any corridor
numbering 0-22 and is beaten will result in the Corridor it is
identical to being beaten. Thus, these corridors are analogs of their
lowered number corridor counterparts.
Collecting many Speed Boosters can result in the Guardian’s fire moving
extremely rapidly. In other words, Speed can reach values above the
maximum level available in the game normally. With a certain speed, 4
bullets are fired as a single volley and one tap of the button can remove
a blue warp portal box. With even more speed, 16 bullets appear as
one pulse in the firing followed rapidly by another with little delay.
With even more speed, firing the primary weapon results in teleportation
(see Weird Occurrences for all the properties of teleporters).
Of the many Corridors in the frontier, there was a high frequency of some
while none of others. Almost all were encountered at least once, but
Teramute (C-4) was not, except in the weird corridors that convert to
TGL Mode.

[1008]
In this section I'll detail all the strange things I saw happen while
exploring the Lost Frontier. This is basically a collection of events I
experienced in these areas.
Some of these weird occurrences illustrate properties of the game we never
get to test out due to not being accessible during the normal game, such as
0 Shields, 0 Weapons, and the like.
I found one room to be incredibly strange, X23 Y[2]43. When I reached it one
time, it was a Corridor room called "Corridor [black box]" and was a very
glitched screen. Depending on what time you entered it, you get widely
varying results. Also, walking on the black areas of the screen switched the
music from active corridor room to ice area corridor music, and stepping on
different regions of the black areas would reset the ice area corridor
track to the beginning. I’ve gotten inside the corridor: white-blue
glitched graphics playing Area 1 overworld music, the game blacks out,
Corridor 22 which when It is beaten, the game is beaten and shows the end
screen, blue glitched rocky squares, Corridor 6 which is playable,
Corridor 0 which is playable, Corridor 21 which is playable and when the
TGL’s Greatest Hits are beaten, the NAJU being destroyed sequence shows and
the game transitions to Corridor 22. Re-entering the room, I’ve found
Corridors 86, 122 and 102. I have never seen any other corridor have this
strange property of timing of entry varying the result. Every other Lost
Frontier corridor is the same regardless of the time you jump into it.
Theory: just like how the game is programmed for the Guardian to return
to the Corridor room after beating Corridors 0-20, for 21, it is
programmed to show the sequence of destruction and transition
automatically to Corridor 22, and for 22 it is automatically programmed
to show the ending. For Corridor 0, it is programmed to send you back to
the room it is located at, as seen when playing Corridor 0 in this lost
frontier, but that in the real game, it sends you to a text box room
instead of a Corridor room. In other words, the Corridor 0 chamber has no
formal Corridor room in the game).
There was a glitched block in Area 1, which when touched played desert
corridor music. I’ve noticed this as a trend with many items left behind by
the minibosses in the Lost Frontier, but rarely with items just onscreen
normally.
One room I was in, a glitched corridor room, had 6 portals! And another
one had 7 portals! That room was at X22 Y[2]41 and was extremely jumbled.
The portals didn’t always take you the same direction. Some took you one
room to the right, and one just next to it could also take you one room up.
The screen with the most portals I ever saw... it had 32 portals. Thus, we
can conclude a room can have more warp portals on it than it has sides.
One weird instance was on X11 Y[2]45, which was a regular room, but the
screen was very glitched. It played water corridor music and the room was
very jumbled.
In another instance, in a very glitched corridor room, there was an "rdrr"
which killed the Guardian in one hit (due to the status bar being glitched
and her having a life bar of true 0). Another glitched corridor room was at
X8 Y[2]42 accessed from Area 8. It was playing water corridor music and the
room was very jumbled. I found about half a dozen corridor rooms that
appeared extremely glitched. These glitched corridor rooms use the graphics
set of a corridor room, but they have no corridor gate in them or they have
a sealed gate (too many glitched sprites to tell). No matter what Area # you
access them from, they all play water corridor music [Track 20 or 21, that's
14 or 15 in hex numbers].
Another instance had a sequence of 3 corridors. In X8 Y[2]45, there was
Corridor 17. I played it, beat it, and returned to Corridor 10, which I
played, then beat, and returned to Corridor 16, which I played, then beat,
but it blacked out upon return. Usually only 2 corridors are linked up in a
room if there is a link, but this is an example of a triple-link. And I found
a quadra-link too. At X23 Y[2]40, at the time I accessed it from Area 8, here
is what resulted: Corridor 12 (which played as Red Fleepa’s corridor), when
beaten sent me to Corridor 68 (which also played as Red Fleepa’s corridor),
which when beaten sent me to Corridor 35 (which again played as Red
Fleepa’s corridor), which when beaten sent me to Corridor 34 (likewise
played as Red Fleepa’s corridor), which when beaten sent me to an exitless
room with a Lander selling a glitched item for 9999 Chips. All of these 5
rooms were at the same coordinates and accessed by playing one corridor
after another and beating it. Double-links, triple-links, and quadra-links
are functionally meaningless and more of a novelty than anything actually
relevant other than being based on the probability of reappearing in a
corridor room with a different corridor number and the gate being open.
Theory: This is my speculation, but linked corridors are the game returning
you to the same X,Y coordinates, but a different Z-coordinate. In other
words, using the X23 Y[2]40 example, I entered Corridor 12 and played through
it and it linked to Corridors 68, 35, 34. I'm speculating that I could have
just as easily entered those coordinates and arrived in Corridor 68 or 35 or
34 on its own and those corridors may or may not link to the other corridors
at that coordinate. Many times a beaten corridor sends you back to an empty
orange corridor room or sometimes a Lander room, but never any Area 0-10
room. I think what room you arrive back at is pure chance within a certain
range of possibilities.
One of the weirder things I saw was at X22 Y[2]41 in Area 8, a room with a
miniboss. After the miniboss was "beaten", the item appeared. Now, I saw
this twice in the same room and collecting the item or waiting has nothing
to do with it, it appears regardless. The label "Corridor 8" appears in
the floor of the organic room and the floor turns mostly black, and what
are clearly patterned after 2 corridor gates open up, only the gates are
made out of blue and white eyes. Hopping into the opening allows warping
to Corridor 24 at X8 Y8, which played as a glitched corridor. The thing is
this happened normally and involved no use at all of any glitch weapons.
On an Area 6 glitch out screen where it plays the opening screen music,
I got the TGL sound test on that screen.
On some screens in Area 10 Lost Frontier rooms, those blue boxes took 16
hits to shoot open and when destroyed they looked like an empty item box.
And for another corridor room (X21 Y[2]41 accessed from Area 1), when I
entered it, there was a long delay, then ice corridor music started playing,
the Guardian was blue, red, and white, and the corridor room was all red &
black. There were those jumping mouths which emerged, except they were orange.
Hmm, notice the coordinates in this case and in the earlier case with the
corridor gate made out of eyeballs were *both* Y241 and their X-coordinate
was off by only a single space. I suspect certain coordinates have
anomalies to them and generate more chaotic results than other coordinates.
And in another corridor room when I entered it (X22 Y[2]18, accessed from
Area 6), the room was almost entirely filled with brown boxes, "Good Luck!"
was written on it and forest corridor music was playing. I could scroll off
the left threshold and an Area 0 screen with glitched walls appeared and
portal boxes to the east and south. This seems to be another category in the
group of glitched corridor rooms, with this being the only time I saw one not
playing water corridor music.
At Area 8 X23 Y[2]18 there was a room with 19 black boxes (disguised as
yellow-green corners of giant eyes), which when collected changed the Area
music to a very weird remix of the track not found in the game. It was
glitched, but it sounded extremely cool.
There is a mapping error which occurs around X6 Y[2]19. Around this
coordinate, after visiting it, all rooms for a while bear the coordinates
X6 Y19 even though on the map you can tell its not X6 Y19. And also,
some really weird Area numbers began to be displayed. Now, occasionally,
for corridor rooms (all non-labyrinth rooms normally in the game are listed
as Area 0), sometimes they are listed as Area 8 for some reason, but I
never before saw the labyrinth rooms labelled otherwise. Here were some
of the area numbers:
Area 0- displayed Area 1 or 2 (water), Area 6 (arctic)
Area 3- displayed Area 0 (grass)
Area 12- displayed Area 0 (grass), Area 3 or 4 (jungle)
Area 14- displayed Area 1 or 2 (water)
Area 15- displayed Area 7 or 8 (organic), Area 9 (desert)

[1008A]
Now, this was the weirdest one of all. In 3 different coordinates, I had a
labyrinth turn into a corridor! All times the Guardian was uncontrollable
and looked glitched. In one instance, there were only enemies from the
corridors there, and in another instance there were enemies both from
corridors and labyrinths. Teleporters or other glitched weapons were not
used in any way here. It is strange since it operates like a corridor where
there are onslaughts and there are lulls in the # of enemies. Then, at a 3rd
set of coordinates, I portaled into a corridor room and it turned into a
Corridor-Room-Corridor. In this situation, the Guardian was controllable.
Here are the details of the Labyrinth-Corridors:
Area 9 X22 Y242
Accessed by walking from Area 9 X21 Y[2]42
Plays Area 9 music
The Guardian is uncontrollable
It ends with receiving the Hook Key and flying off, and the game going black
Enemies: Red slime, blue disks, jumping blue mouths
Area 9 X13 Y239
Accessed by walking from Area 9 X13 Y[2]40
Plays Area 9 music
The Guardian is uncontrollable
It resets after 2 minutes or so of flying, like a demo
Enemies: Blue floating skulls, giant brown desert skulls, jumping blue mouths
Area 10 X4 Y224
Accessed by walking from an adjacent screen (either X4 Y223 or X5 Y224)
Listed as "Area 14 X4 Y24"
Plays Area 10 music or no music at all (I didn't record this data)
Enemies: blue long-skull spitting projectiles (only a few early on)
The Guardian is uncontrollable and her graphics are glitched
Resets after something like 40 seconds- 1 minute, like a demo
And here is the details for the Corridor Room-Corridor:
Area 0 X5 Y222
Accessed by portal-ing in from Area 3 X5 Y[2]21
Plays active corridor room music
The Guardian is controllable here
Guardian’s weapon fire is a bunch of green glitches
The closed active corridor gate could be seen through the overlaying graphics
It went on endlessly

Sometimes when moving around the Lost Frontier, you’ll find the weapon
select box over blank spaces or spaces anywhere but on the weapon part of
the screen, such as over a blank space or inappropriate area, like the right
side of the screen by the Chip #s or Shield/Weapon stats. These are the
glitch weapons. Sometimes, the weapon select box on the select screen will
be over a blank space and indicate you have a number of shots and either
displays no box or a glitched box on the status bar, Be warned, if you fire
it, in many cases the game will glitch up and freeze. Occasionally, the
weapon will have... weirder effects. Once, the game produced the Guardian as
having 1872 Chips and a glitched weapon in a weird area of the select screen
that on the status bar displayed as a fireball graphic, slightly glitched
with 234 Shots. When used, it made the sound like the MultiBullet being
fired, but nothing displayed and it warped the Guardian over by one room
and drained her life from 32 down to 1 and turned the graphic icon into a
Repeller icon. I’ll talk more about the teleporter weapon in a moment, but
I want to note that it is advisable to use a save state to save the game
before using or even moving the weapon. You see, sometimes when you move
the weapon select box when it is on a strange section of the select screen,
if you move it up or down, the game will freeze and it will be making this
shrill noise which is the sound of the weapon box being moved, only held
at a constant note (it is not a pleasant sound). If you move the box left
or right, odds are you will find the weapon select box on one of the normal
weapons. Once the weapon select box is on a normal weapon, you cannot get
it to go back to a glitch weapon unless you come across one of the rooms
that creates glitch weapons, which I note in the next paragraph.
How do you get access to glitch weapons? I often find the cursor on one of
these spots on the select screen where weapons are not found when I enter an
extremely glitched up Corridor room. Sometimes in the Lost Frontier, there
are corridor rooms that are very messed up. I'm not talking about the ones
with some junk in the room, I'm talking about ones which are filled with junk
all over the screen and occasionally even have enemies in there. These
weapons only exist so long as you don't move your cursor off of them. I also
found the weapon select box over a glitch weapon when I walked onto a normal
area screen which was a little more glitched up than normal.
These glitch weapons have wildly unpredictable effects. Sometimes their
effect is consistent, but occasionally, when you enter a certain room, the
effect is different. There are several weird occurrences which result from
these weapons. One glitch made the lifebar disappear completely, as in it
was not 0, there was not even a lifebar, period. One hit from any enemy
meant instant death. Another glitch weapon drains the lifebar to 0, but this
0 is virtual invincibility. One glitch gave me 0 Weapons. Now, 0 Shields
means near invincibility, but 0 Weapon levels means you fire one bullet at
a time, but there is no auto-fire function to it. With 1 Weapon level,
holding down the firing button means the gun will constantly fire, not
with 0 Weapon level though.
One changes the music to the sound of flying off into a corridor, another
freezes the game, and yet another teleports the Guardian most of the time,
and sometimes freezes the game/causes it to black out and glitch up. The
teleporter occasionally sends the Guardian to a random room, but after a few
uses, it sends the Guardian to some prescribed coordinates, some on the map,
some off the map. The teleporter is strange. It looks like the teleport
effect from other 8-bit video games. The guardian’s image moves in a wavy
pattern up and down in one direction along the screen (up and down moving
left or right, or side to side moving up and down, or at angles moving in a
direction), changing to green and white color, then the screen switches to
another screen of different coordinates. Perhaps there was going to be a
teleporter function in the game and it was programmed for, but then
abandoned. Anyway, I accessed the Y[2]55 series and thereabout of rooms
through the teleporter glitch-weapon. Normally it’s a bunch of grassy 3-way
rooms, but here I landed in a Corridor room with portals and used save
states to explore all around it. This weapon has many defects, often making
the screen go black & freezing the game, or making the graphics decompile
and the game freeze, or making glitchy graphics appear and the game
freeze, or requires 2 uses, the 1st use turning every red enemy on the
screen green, including the Guardian too, the 2nd completing the teleport.
But, I noticed something strange. When the teleporter often fails and
causes the game to scramble, it commonly freezes the game, but plays
"military aquatica" (Track 03, the most common type of boss music, or 03 in
hex). Kinda strange. The teleporter does have a pattern. It frequents the
following coordinates: X1 Y0, X6 Y7, X9 Y10, X10 Y9, X10 Y11, X11 Y12,
X15 Y10, among others. Also, when used in some corridors, most
notably glitched ones that don’t resemble Corridors 0-22, it produces an
instant victory, triggering the victory music, sending the Guardian flying
forward, then turning around and flying backwards, as is the behavior when
a corridor is beaten. Another glitched weapon turned the Guardian-ship
green, giving the Guardian paralysis, but invincibility. I saw this in both
a corridor and in the labyrinth. Enemies just pass through you. They cannot
interact with you. Note that the teleporter can send you to Z-coordinates
in the regular mapped area. This means different versions of the real rooms
you see in the game, such as some of the rooms in Area 0, with the same
block arrangements and enemies, only in an empty orange corridor room or
the like.
Here is an index of some glitched weapons I saw. Their position is hard to
describe on the select screen, but its all in fringe areas. I describe the
pictures by their icons. Some glitch weapons produce different results even
despite having the same icon, depending on how they are generated. Many are
teleporters. Some are highly glitched, some have higher rates of success.
Teleporters can be used in corridors to produce instant victories regardless
of where you are in the corridor, but they do not have a 100% success rate.

Hyper Laser- turns all blue portal boxes into empty item boxes. Yes, it
means the portals disappear
Fireball- a teleporter that always fails, causing the screen to black out
Backfire- a teleporter
Glitch-Shield- a teleporter
Glitch with corner box- turns portals into item boxes
Glitch 4 square- freezes screen
Another glitch block- no use
Another glitch block- freezes game, makes screen very glitched
Another glitch block- no use
Another Red Lander- often fails, has some bizarre effects when the game
freezes, like changing the color of the room or creating a "strobe light"
effect on the frozen screen. Another time it resulted in a transformation
sequence on a bizarre background, then the game blacking out
As you can see, the exact Chip costs of these weapons varies with each shot,
but seems to remain consistent around a certain number (kind of like
staggered coordinates, only "staggered Chip costs").
I wonder if the distance it teleports the Guardian has some impact on the
chip value or if it is entirely random, or exponential, or what.

[1009]
In this section you will find a lot of details pertaining around the
corridors found in the Lost Frontier as well as an index of all the corridors
I encountered there and how it appeared to me. There are a grand total of
128 Corridors, spanning Corridors 0 through Corridor 127. You will remember
that only Corridors 0-22 are in the game, meaning there are 105 Corridors
found in the Lost Frontier that are not found in the normal course of the
game.
Much of this exploration was done with the "nkQC IcJA" code. Some of the
rooms (many around the Y[2]55 coordinates) were accessed via a teleport
glitch.
I originally included the Area I accessed the Corridor from purely for
bookkeeping purposes even though the Area or origin has no impact on what
corridors are there, but I decided to remove it as it was extraneous data
and made the logs appear too convoluted. I will leave the Area of Origin data
for Corridors 0-22 though, to display the random nature of the Lost Frontier
and how water corridors can be accessed from desert areas and so on.
"Accessed from" refers to what area the room in the Lost Frontier belonged
to that I entered the corridor room from. It does not refer to the point of
departure from the real map, which is not possible in this game. "Accessed
via teleporter" did not mean I reached each room by using a teleporter; it
means I reached one of those rooms via teleporter, saved, and branched out
from there by foot.
When you see "Blacks out upon entry", that means you can jump into the
corridor and undergo the transformation sequence, but after that, the game
blacks out.
When you see {FALSE} that does not mean the data is wrong, it means that
corridor entry is known to be a False Label (in other words, the Corridor #
documented is the one listed on the screen, but it's known to be wrong). The
concept of false labels is explained further below.
It is also worth noting that I did not test almost all the Corridor 0s I
found. There may be some Alternate Corridor 0s, but I never tried them all
out.
The first thing about the corridors here that stands out is there are
multiple versions of all corridors. More than one location for a corridor has
been found for most of these corridors and some of those even fall outside
the range of staggered coordinates, meaning there are multiples of these.
I’ve found several Corridor 1s, Corridor 8s, and even of higher numbered
corridors too. Beating any of these lower numbered Corridors results in the
blinking indicator light over the real corridor going out. Basically, it
seems like several corridors have multiple entry points.
There is also the existence of parallel corridors. These are Corridors
numbering above 22 which play identical to some Corridor numbered between 0
and 22. Some examples are Corridor 36, which frequently plays as Corridor 16,
Corridor 56, which played as Corridor 12 (though the fact all other versions
of Corridor 56 are different makes me think this is a result of false
labels), and Corridor 87 played identical to Corridor 12. When these
parallel corridors are beaten, it registers as if the real Corridor it is a
copy of is beaten!
The most commonly occurring corridors, whether multiple points of entry or
parallel corridors, are Corridors 16 (Red Optomon), 8 (Red Grimgrin), and 1
2 (Red Fleepa).
Having used a teleporter to get back to the regular map and confirm it, I can
say that when a blinking indicator at a real corridor's coordinates goes out
as a result of being an identical or parallel corridor in the Lost Frontier,
the corridor in the room at the real coordinates does become sealed.
Another strange behavior is the auto-victory. This is where upon the Guardian
passing through the portal in the adjacent room to the corridor room in
question, you will see the Guardian automatically jumping out of the Corridor
and any portal boxes being indestructible green, the corridor explode and
an item left behind. This was seen in all the encounters with or the vast
majority of encounters with Corridors 5, 53, and 117. A point worth noting
here is the auto-victory Corridor 5s never make the blinking indicator for
Corridor 5 go out.
Alternate corridors have also been found. These bear the same number as a
real corridor, but have a different terrain (i.e. glitched) from the same
numerical corridor in the real game. I’ve observed alternates with Corridors
1, 8, and 16. Now, there are multiple normal versions of these same corridors
in the Lost Frontier as well. They’re just like every other glitched corridor
except they have a number the same as Corridors 0-22.
One incident made me realize some of the Corridor labels may not be truthful.
There seem to be "false labels". I noticed this for one set of coordinates,
where there was an auto-victory for Corridor 5 there, producing a glitching
Energy Tank as the prize and for the same coordinates there was an
auto-victory for Corridor 4 there, producing the exact same prize and
result. Now, the auto-victory thing is common for Corridor 5, but unheard
of for Corridor 4. This, and the fact some corridors produce one set of
results multiple times, but then for that one other time play like Corridor
12, 16, or something like that, makes me think that one result that differs
from all the others is a result of false labels. For example, Corridor 24
at the same coordinates played once as if it were Corridor 16 and another
time if it were Corridor 8. At those coordinates, a Corridor 8 can be
obtained. This makes me think that time I entered it had the label "Corridor
24", but was really Corridor 8. The same thing happened with Corridor 40,
which played once as Corridor 12 and another time as Corridor 5. The
Alternate Corridors may in fact be a result of false labels. Parallel
corridors may likewise be a result of false labels.
Fact: False Labels have been confirmed. In the section discussing how the
Lost Frontier works, we have been able to identify what the proper music
track is for each higher corridor. Therefore, any corridor labelled as a
number which does not play that music track is a falsely labelled corridor.
I should note this does not rule out all falsely labelled corridors since if,
let's say, Corridor # is supposed to play Track 17 and an impostor corridor
(not Corridor #) is labelled as Corridor # but just happens to play Track 17,
then we cannot tell it is an impostor corridor.
Now for the glitched corridors. Some of these play identical no matter what
coordinates they are found at. Some of these play differently at different
coordinates. I have found though, that all corridors seem to play identical
at the coordinates you find them when false labels seem not to be a factor.
I have been able to replicate entering the same room and hopping in the
corridor at different time intervals, reaching the same coordinates by
different means, several times, all producing the same results. Corridor 32
looks identical at 4 different coordinates, Corridor 27 looks the same at 2
different coordinates, and likewise with Corridors 37, 51, 75, 96, 104.
Some of these are very variable though, like Corridor 74, which at 3
different locations produced 3 very different results.
There are some common "habitats" for the glitched corridors. Many appear as
an endless corridor of white technological wiring like that between the metal
panels in Corridor 0. There are some white tech-wiring corridors like this
which have a brown metal panel near the start of the corridor. There are some
green tech-wiring corridors as well. Many higher up numbered corridors,
especially in the 90s and over, appear as this strange black and white
geometric pattern. Another common occurrence is a scrolling grid, light blue
with some number as a part of it and some brown panels in it as well.
Another variation of this is a red grid with numbers in it which is a still
screen. There are also glitched corridors which look like heaps of junk and
some of which almost resemble city blocks (at least in an 8-bit system).
Many of the junked up glitch corridors resemble Zanac, a flying shoot-em-up
game made by the same company that made TGL (in fact, the Landers come
from that game).
Select button can glitch up some of the glitched corridors, making their
background change or break down. Many of the "white bones" technological
corridors are susceptible to this, but not all of them. The "white bones"
deform only once with select and they remain deformed no matter how many
times select is used. With other corridors, some deform differently each time
with the use of the select button (though they only have so many
possibilities of deformation) and others deform once with select button and
keep that deformed pattern. In other words, the graphical integrity of many
of the higher numbered corridors is low. When flying in glitched corridors,
I recommending using the select button; it's the only way to see the
different aspects of the corridors.
All normal corridors have the exact same Area listing on the status bar
when they are being played unless otherwise noted. All glitch corridors
have Area 10 on their status bar unless otherwise noted.
Corridor 0 has the more versions of itself out there than any other Corridor.
There are 3 possibilities for Corridor 0 in the Lost Frontier, first that it
is open and has 4 panels there, second that it is open but has no panels,
and third, it is sealed. Those 4 red panels only exist on Corridors 1-10 in
the real game. They are the failsafe devices which need to be destroyed for
the self-destruct to be initiated. It’s bizarre that Corridor 0 would have
them. What’s more too, is that normally in the game Corridor 0 does not
have a formal Corridor room. It warps the Guardian to the text box room at
its coordinates when beaten. Beating some of the Corridor 0s sent the
Guardian back to the same room with the corridor still open, or to the
same corridor except closed, or to a different corridor room, or even to
an empty orange corridor room. All Corridor 0s do not have a
transformation sequence at the beginning nor at the end, unlike all
other Corridors except 22.
Corridor 21 in all cases were auto-victories, meaning entering the room
resulted in automatically jumping out of the corridor, it exploding, and
leaving some item.
Corridor 22 has been located in the Lost Frontier. The fact that it always
plays the same level, that short space level with the password screen music,
confirms that the final level is deemed Corridor 22. This Corridor, like the
real version, has no opening transformation sequence. Its boss is It, and
when It is defeated, the game’s ending is shown. Yes, it is possible in the
Lost Frontier to beat the game with all corridors still active! And
surprisingly, some sealed Corridor 22s have been found. It seems like that
shouldn’t be possible, but it is. Even the fact that there is a Corridor
for the final level is absurd since it is only supposed to occur after NAJU
is destroyed, not be a part of NAJU. Theoretically, one might say it is
the Corridor, the habitat in which It came out of and escaped. It was able
to escape into space because space is its environment, not water or jungle
or arctic, etc.
In all corridors in the Lost Frontier, regular ones or not, if there is that
red asteroid enemy, the one that generates a circle of asteroids that fly
at you, it just flies by from left to right and never generates the circle.
Its function is seemingly disabled in the Lost Frontier.
Corridors 0 and 22, regardless if in the game or in the Lost Frontier, both
lack an opening transformation sequence and a closing transformation
sequence. All bizarre corridors have opening transformation sequences and
if they don’t black out after flying off from the boss, closing
transformation sequences as well.

Note: This section is rather long. If you want to jump to the section
containing a specific corridor, each Corridor has been given a code you can
put into a "find on this page" search box to jump down to. The code is
CL###. So, for Corridor 127, type in CL127, for Corridor 0, type in
CL000, for Corridor 1, type in CL001, for Corridor 24, CL024, you get
the idea. All unclassifiable corridors are labelled CL???. So, type that
into a search box to jump down to them.
Below is the index of Corridors I have encountered in the game. Some of these
corridor listings (0-22) have a Corridor listed separated from the rest of the
index of corridors by a dotted line. That corridor is the Prime Corridor, the
one accessed in the normal course of the game. Anything below that dotted
line are corridors in the Lost Frontier, including anything inbetween regular
areas on the 24 x 24 grid, everything on the 32 x 32 grid, and everything
from there to X & Y 255 coordinates.
I have listed the proper hex data read for music, weapons, and graphics for
each corridor. This is taken from the game's code. With this, we can know,
even if a corridor blacks out or otherwise cannot be played, what its music
would be and even what weapon would theoretically be won from it. This
hex data is important because all the properties of a corridor are
generated from it. And random values are not used for these
properties, the same one is used each time (well, other than false labels).
I must note, and I will post this in two sections, that I am assuming there is
a blank space for Corridor 66 based on the data I have, which seems to
indicate that placing music track CC at Corridor 66 produces misaligned
data, but placing it at Corridor 67 produces data that fits observations.
If I am wrong and indeed I am simply encountering several corridors
which are falsely labelled by being +1 ahead of the number they are
listed as, they I will correct this data set. I just want all readers
to know this, to know that while Corridors 0-65 are 100% confirmed with
regards to music track hexes, but Corridor 66-127 are not 100% confirmed.
The order is certain, but where it exactly starts does not.

Is unique in that it has no Corridor room. It is covered with a text box

Yes, X11 Y12, the text box room *is* the Corridor 0 room; it’s just replaced
with something else instead of a sealed gate.
Note: many of the following Corridor 0 rooms could be accessed via the
teleporter from the Northern Frontier. The ones that were accessed by
teleporter have that noted on them. All of these rooms were accessible
by passwords too.
-------------------------------------------------
Due to the large number of Corridor 0s found in the "valleys" between the
mapped areas on the 24 x 24 grid, I will streamline the data here. All of
the following are open and have 4 panels. They play normally and when
beaten send you back to the same coordinates with the gate still open.

For all of these, they play identical to the real Corridor 0, the level
played when you select a new game, the one with the defense system (the
mechanical turrets or eyes) at the end as the boss. From my experience
(I’ve played some Corridor 0s, not all), they always send you back to the
Corridor room intact with the gate still open, but in one instance, beating
the corridor sealed the gate. Some of the Corridor 0 screens appear glitchy,
with arrows appearing over them, but the corridor can be entered regardless.
The Corridor 0 room is one possibility for several rooms that have the empty
orange corridor rooms as another possibility. Beating X13 Y[2]51 Corridor 0
sent the Guardian back to the same room, except it became a Save Lander room.
Notice, an interesting pattern. There are virtually no Corridor 0s from
Y225 to Y238.

X2 Y219 {FALSE}
The active corridor room is listed as "Area 8 X1 Y19" but is really X2 Y19.
Around X1-2 Y18-20, there is some weird glitch that messes with the
coordinate display. It remains the same though the Area designation changes.
In regular rooms, it displays the correct Area #, and in one Lander room, a
Lander selling one item, it listed it as Area 6. The map display shows the
Guardian in the correct position.
Accessed from Area 1
Note that this room was accessed by jumping in Corridor 64 at X2 Y19 (itself
accessed from Area 1), which brought the Guardian to a region where the
coordinate system is messed up. This Corridor 64 room was the source of the
problems with the coordinate system.

"boss": dark blue "wings", 2x, they zip around the area fast, with only 2
possible forms of movement, directly horizontal or directly vertical. I
glitched the game up further via select to get more bosses to appear.
Another was an hourglass shaped boss with a green pyramid of sorts on the
bottom of the screen and a white, red, and light blue inverted pyramid on
the top which tracks your movements at the same time. Yet another boss was
a dark blue "fragment boss" which moves in the hyper-fast circling pattern
it usually does. And another boss was a white, red, and sky blue "fragment
boss" which just appeared, faded out, and reappeared at the same position
on the screen. No one shot any projectiles because when a screen gets
crowded, projectiles are sacrificed for the enemies’ continued appearance
on the screen (try this with the Red Crab that shoots bubbles- just shoot
the bubbles so that the screen is filled with item boxes and eventually,
it will not shoot any projectiles). So, the index of bosses was: the light
blue top & green bottom of the hourglass boss, 2 dark wings, 1 fixed
teleporting fragment boss, and 1 dark blue fragment boss- all at the
same time! All made the sound of bosses when hit.

win the Wave Key, the Guardian flies off and when the game switches to the

Starts off with a gray morphing wall that spans the whole screen, building
up, which can be shot at and produce powerups
Enemies: morphing, growing gray walls along the right and left sides
(only the right side can be targeted). They tend to leave hordes of powerups
The level is actually only a segment of about 4 seconds which endlessly
repeats
The way to beat it is hanging out in the lower left and firing at the initial
wall. I was able to replicate this a few times, and the Guardian went out of
my control, victory music for beating the corridor began playing and the
Guardian flew off.
Beating the corridor produces a black screen where the victory music
continues to play, but mashing the buttons can break this, which sends you
to the Corridor 27 room with the corridor open again. The Corridor can be
beaten, but it never closes.

seen the red "fragment boss" here and the blue "fragment boss" here. And
oddly enough, the red "fragment boss’s" face had a strange display on it,
a series of numbers on the left side, and the mirror image of those numbers
on the right side. The display and arrangement was as follows. Note that

X20 Y219
Long delay where it blacks out, then the screen comes back, but it’s all

X23 Y219
One time...
Has 4 panels
Blacks out, then appears with an extremely glitched screen
The status bar is red & black columns, the screen is all black with greenish
and green-brown graphics in a semi-grid and the Guardian’s ship is some black
thing with a flashing white & light blue part. The firing graphics look black
as well. It looks like the game has partially decompiled or something like
that. Using select makes it scroll as some light green strange graphics, but
doing it again freezes the game
Another time...
Appears as blue fish bones look
Plays no music
X1 Y220
One time had no panels, another time it had 4 panels
Appears as very glitched light blue graphics which look like "fish bones"
no music, but the level opens up with a firing sound with a "chhk" quality
to it
Select glitches it up. I noticed a pattern with this level which I remember
applies to all levels with "fishes bones". Use select and it glitches up the
field as blue glitchy squares. Use select again, no change. Use it a
3rd time, you get different glitchy squares, this time rectangles
with a different texture and style to them. Use it a 4th time, no change.
Use it a 5th time, and it goes back to glitchy blue squares.
So, there are 2 glitched backgrounds for this level type and the graphics
remain constant for 2 selects before switching.

Enemy: rdrr, twirling flashing projectiles in holes which can be permanently
destroyed (not possible in the regular game) and which leave item boxes
Brown ‘city blocks’ one of morphed forms
Destroying enough enemies makes the "fragment boss" (same as Corridor 76)
appear. It is a red glitched thing/spider/face. It moves extremely fast in
circles around the screen that it almost appears as debris flying all over
the screen but when you hit start each time, you see the debris is in the
exact same arrangement each time. Firing at it makes the sound made when
hitting a boss/miniboss and when it touches you, your shields show up.
It DOES spit those diamond-bubbles. I saw diamond-bubbles come from it
when the game was paused. It also, associated only with some backgrounds,
spits out long strings of red v-shaped material in a vertical row (this
seems to be glitched seaweed). I only saw this in this corridor on some
backgrounds. The color of the thing is definitely red. When you are
defeated, the game screen freezes up, just like with the Corridor 76 "boss".

Scrolls rather fast
Appears at first as a blue grid over black background, some brown squares
with the number 2
Going to select screen changes the background
"rdrr" did appear every once and a while, but only strays, never in their
usual stream
one section is sky blue entirely
When one background is reached, the Guardian begins to move super-fast.
This is one tap sends the Guardian ¾ across the screen.
Your ghost on the side takes damage and when it takes damage, you take
damage too. Even if you are far away, your shields still appear, meaning
you have taken damage despite not being hit directly
There was some fragment field, which looks like fragments in the shape of
a head with some prongs. It was circling around extremely fast, much faster
than anything in the game by a long shot.
The "fragment boss" did have behavior to it. It circled around extremely
fast with about 1/3 the circle it makes being offscreen, and the Guardian’s
ghost being on the top part of its circular path. This circle was on the
right side of the screen. Occasionally it broke the circle to go to the lower
left side of the screen and shoot a diamond-bubble. This detour was only
made once every 20 or so loops (in other words, very infrequently). Hits did
register on it, producing the boss hit sound and a little red explosion.
hen the life bar reached 0, the screen froze and eventually the colors of
the background and status bar shifted slightly instead of going to the game
over screen
No boss music played. It’s actually a "boss", as in it makes the noise
bosses make when hit and it’s impossible to kill.

enemies: rdrr, mirror-rdrr, red giant turrets (actually flipping

The enemies in this level are generous with Energy Tanks. The rdrrs here spit

With the first use of select, several explosions (which could hurt the
Guardian) kept occurring all over the screen, like a display of explosives
[a very interesting concept]. The explosives cannot be hit; they are
not an enemy
Guardian’s ship is orange, with blue jets and blue pulse fire
Status bar is brown

Enemies: rdrr, mirror-rdrr
"Boss": Gem Wall
giant slightly arced wall of "gem-like" fragments, which moves after
you. Touching the wall hurts you. In the center of the arc on the opposite
side, and latter on the bottom in the gem-wall was an orange gem fragment
with a small single tile orange cloud above it. Firing at the wall and at the
core both registers as boss/miniboss hits. It has no projectiles.

overlapping squares result from enemies disappearing when boss
klaxons sound in some levels in the real course of the game)
Enemy: rdrr, hmsv suhl d, ot, hs"w sr"s uh
"Boss": 7 Piranha Plants
The "boss" is fragments of the ship, namely the lower half, which appear
as red & blue, orange tone, or green tone, which randomly appear and reappear.
There are 7 of these. They look like "piranha plants", behaving like the
donut worm miniboss. They teleport around, materialize, then a vertical
portion rises up, then recedes, then the thing disappears. They make a
boss/miniboss noise when hit and are vulnerable only when the vertical
portion is raised

The Guardian’s ship here is a yellow-green and her pulse fire and engine
flame are red.
Initially appears as a black & <> grid with the number 1 interspersed
Level’s background changes when you go to the select screen and return
Some of the possible segments based on going to the select screen produce
areas that resemble Zanac or look like cities.
No Music
Moves very fast
Unbeatable
Enemy: Ducks, rdrr
"Boss": Ghost of the Guardian’s Wreck, String of Pearls, or likely other
possibilities
I played this level twice, and the two times I was there, there was something
there that made the sound bosses & minibosses make when hit, but an infinite
number of shots could not beat them. Also, when touched, the Guardian makes
the sound of being hit and her white shields appear around her. One time it
took the form of a pile of wreckage of the Guardian’s yellow-green ship in the
upper right. Another time it had a "string of pearls" appearance on the lower
screen. This one was weird. There was 8 of them and they looked like
red-white explosion clouds and would flicker in a random pattern, only when
they flickered and revealed an empty interior with a red ring form were they
vulnerable to being hit. This produced the effect of being like a shelled
boss that is only vulnerable when it flickers/rotates its shell. It had a
definite pattern to it. 2-3 would flicker at one time out of 8. It is very
tough to move and respond to the short window they are vulnerable.

Another time I played it, I found a boss that was a giant red pyramid, it
appeared briefly, then the game glitched out. I was able to encounter the
giant red pyramid again, but 1 hit from it killed the Guardian instantly,
causing the ship to explode, then freeze unexploded.
Another time I played it there were 4 things lined up horizontally, from
left to right, a red small cloud, a blue small cloud, a small red
explosion, and another red small cloud. They each spit different colored
double bits (2 little circles of the same color adjoined), red double
bits, blue double bits, and orange double bits. They track the Guardian
vertically (not horizontally). The game froze after a while. This boss
appeared when I got a flashing small light blue cloud that spit out
little red double bits (2 little red circles adjoined). The rest
followed after a while. Another time I played it, I got 8 red pulse
shots aligned across horizontally. They tracked the Guardian vertically
Another time I played it, I got 2 glitched blocks, one red and one blue,
they both moved back and forth horizontally at the same position, blue
on top, red on bottom. The game glitched up after a while

Results vary randomly. Timing of entry and perhaps even whether the ice

Here is a list of the possible results for this Corridor. These are all
known possibilities, not necessarily all possibilities:
Blacks out upon entry
Playable, graphics intact, white-blue structures, Area 1 overworld music,

#### Corridor [Yellow 1, 2nd number blocked], AKA De Facto Corridor 13 ####
[CL013]
The room appears the same each time, text saying "Corridor 1" with the 2nd
digit spot blocked, with Corridor in white and 1 in yellow, a square of
brown blocks over the corridor gate and an enemy, rdrr flying off from the
top to the right side of the screen. I'm 100% confident the hidden number is
a 3 and thus this is Corridor 13. The consistent results across many
rooms and what happened at X1 Y255, where beating Corridor 1[X]
resulted in being sent back to Corridor 13 confirm this.

Another time, it had the same results, but one difference,
shortly after the start of the level, 4 red & white fragments of ships
appeared. All would make the sound of a boss being hit when fired upon.
Sometime later, a giant , shield shaped "head" (narrow, cone-like, with the
tip facing down) appeared in the upper left corner and started to scroll
over. Then it and the 4 fragments disappeared. This was all before select
was used. The head was red & white too.

############## Glitched Corridor 0 ####################
When I used a glitch weapon at Corridor 0 (X15 Y0), accessed via teleporter,
and then used select, the graphics for the level were dramatically altered.
The enemies were the same, except those diamond-shaped tiles, which were red
and the small turrets were simply glitched. The whole level looked organic,
with red & blue colors. The end boss was a blue set of eyes instead of a set
of turrets. The eyes were all blue, including the white parts. It was listed
as Area L X15 Y10
######### Always Mislabelled Corridor #################
Using the teleporter, I arrived at X19 Y255, a Corridor 0 room, and entered,
but it played as Corridor 9. I beat Blue Eyegore, got the Rectangle Key,
and arrived back at the same coordinates, but it was Corridor 11. I entered
it, but found it played as Corridor 5. I beat Zibzub and the game blacked
out upon return. So, to sum it up:
Corridor 0- False Label, really Corridor 9
Corridor 11- False Label, really Corridor 5

I welcome all submissions to expand our collective knowledge of this strange
realm. People can contact me by email at zoogelio@yahoo.com. I will only
check it once a week since it is not my primary account. If you report a new
corridor, new version of a documented corridor, or some strange observation,
please provide coordinates and screenshots if possible (I like visual proof.
Besides, it helps me to compare it with other screenshots from the Lost
Frontier. Screenshots can be taken with a NES emulator, though ideally, I
would prefer submitters post their pics on some image hosting website like
Image Shack and then provide me the link to the pics rather than send them to
me as an email attachment. If anyone wants to chime in and provide a theory
as to why the game has these strange properties for the Lost Frontier, be my
guest. People have deciphered Metroid's hidden worlds as well as other
strange glitches from the NES and SNES era, but since this one was never
documented before, no one has given it any thought. Whenever anyone
contributes, I will note their name next to whatever piece they contributed.
I would really like people with technical knowledge to provide their voice
to a discussion since that is the way the strange rules governing the Lost
Frontier will be understood. If anyone can provide any expertise or answers
to the mysteries of the Lost Frontier, please, by all means, email me.

Lee Eric Kirwan, who deciphered the password system enough to provide me
with *the* password to a room which provides access to the Lost Frontier
as well as the formula for generating passwords to every room on the
32 x 32 grid, allowing me to explore areas I can't get to simply by
walking. He also answered many of my technical questions about the game
on the Gamefaqs message board for TGL.
Kuzeelar, who made the jump in logic that the game reads the next
line of code as a continuation of the first line of code for every
quality in the corridor and who also supplied the hex data for me.
Minstrel, who discussed the NES assembly language.
And, i would hope, more people as some readers of this become explorers
of the Lost Frontier themselves and provide me with accounts and data from
their explorations so I can have more people to thank.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tasks to do in Later version updates:
Fill in any remaining missing passwords
Fill in data entries for some corridors that just give the coordinates
Identify areas of some miniboss entries
Get a complete index of the different appearances inside the glitch
corridors and create an index of the habitats and variations.
Get graphics and weapon hex data for Corridors 23-127.
Select the best pictures from my few thousand that I took of the Lost
Frontier as well as the most representative of certain aspects of the
frontier and host them on some site like Image Shack and provide the
links in this FAQ
Maybe get some ASCII art of the Guardian or whatnot to form a better
looking title for the FAQ than the simple text I have there now
