Article Translation:

Mario, Luigi, Lady and Fireball are hiding behind the eight doors on the screen. Guess who is hiding behind which door.

However, we don’t know how many Marios, Luigis, Ladies, and Fireballs there are, so you’ll have to think carefully before you can hit them all.

When you run the program, eight doors will appear and a cursor will flash at the cottom right of each door. Enter the number you guessed using the sample at the top of the screen as a reference. When you have finished entering the number for one door, the cursor will move to the next door. When you have finished entering the number for all the doors, you will be asked if you are OK with it. If you want to make corrections, press “N”, or if you are OK with it, press any other key.
Then, it will count the number of characters hiding behind the door, the total number of correct numbers for each character you entered, regardless of their location, and the total number of correct character numbers and locations. Then the cursor will move back to the dfoor, so please think about this until you get the hint.

When the cursor is blinking, if you press any key other than 1 to 4, the will all become 0, and keys such as CLR and -> will not function as they should and will be entered as 0. This is done to prevent the screen from becoming distorted.

Program Description:

350-360 – Display number of correct answers
370 – Check if all answers are correction
380-390 – What to do if all answers are incorrect
550-590 – Display character behind door
600-620 – Turn off the door
