In the NES Game, StarTropics, in Chapter 4 - right after you escape the whale with Baboo, Nav-Com tells you to "Input Frequency!!":

There does not seem to be any indication in the game for what the frequency should be.

The only clues come from Baboo's recalling of Dr. J's last words, "Tell Mike to dip my letter in water..." - complete with a "Do you understand?" prompt. If you say you don't understand, he tells you that "Dr. J sent you a letter with a map of C-Island a few weeks ago!"

Then, if you enter the wrong frequency, Nav-Com tells you to "put water on Dr. J's letter in the instruction booklet." Is that referring to the printed instruction manual that originally came with the game? I do not have a copy of the instruction manual, so is there a way to figure out the frequency to enter from within the game?

Will there be a StarTropics 3?

It seems apparent we're never getting StarTropics 3, that's fine. I will now be changing my wishlist game from StarTropics 3 to StarTropics 4. Reply with ONE game you want to see during the E3 Nintendo Direct! Dream big or stay realistic, it's up to you!

How many chapters are in StarTropics?

The game is divided into eight chapters each with it's own tasks, story and puzzles to complete to advance the main plot with the protagonist hoping between several islands each with at least one dungeon.
