Dummied password

Boxyboy TG16 Stage251.png

Located at the very end of the password list at 0x7867 is the password "-----", which cannot be used as the "-" character cannot be entered on the password screen. If this is changed to a valid password in a hex editor, it will allow access to a 251st stage. As the game only has 250 stages however, this password will cause a crash when starting the game.
