Originally, the password for PARANOIA was WVHY. In the Windows version, it actually has the same password as FOUR SQUARE, the previous level. If you enter only the password, you will be taken to FOUR SQUARE. If you enter level number and password, you can access either level.
While with the other three levels where the password of the Windows version differs, this is obviously due to typos in Jaime C. Villacorte's Notes, there is no particular reason here. It was probably just an oversight by the programmers.

- This is a relatively simple level. Tips: When grabbing the chips guarded by the horizontal bouncing blue balls, stay embedded in the walls until it's clear. When picking up the last set of chips guarded by fire bugs, run around the circumference of the room to avoid invisible walls.

- The first tank is pretty easy to beat, but make sure you get all the chips and the key. The level title "PARANOIA" means "afraid of everything", which is how you'll feel after the tank gets you again and again. The only way out is to step on the blue button, let the tank go all the way to the left end, then step off and on it quickly. When done correctly the tank stays at the left, and you can pick up the red key AND the fireboots at your leisure. The fireboots are handy later on and make it easier to get some chips. When you get to the bee, follow him down and you'll be fine. Beat the balls and pick up the chips. Avoid the paramecia and go get the red key. Now travel up the right side and through the red door. To get the last chips protected by the bees you have to keep to the perimeter of the area. Watch out for the invisible wall in the middle of the area. If you try to go across the middle the bees will get you. You can hide in the fire as bees don't go there. Get the chips and exit.
