I would like to skip 'main menu screen' using hex-edit in order to start the game quickly. Is there anyone who know the information. I have searched related topics but I could not find it.

By the way, this forum board "New Levels and Mods For SNES" aims to allow mod authors to post their new levels and mods.
There is a general "Prince of Persia 1 for SNES" forum board for discussions about PoP1 for SNES.
And there's also a "Other Tools & Hex Editing" forum board.

It can be done with Pr1sneslevEd or in game with the password SPECIAL ( jap ) and SPCCMD! ( US , EUR ) go check the topic about that.

What Salvador means is easily launching into specific levels for playtesting.
While Pr1SnesLevEd can modify the starting level (File->Hacks...), it has no option to launch the active ROM in any way.
Related: in January 2015, I wrote about Pr1SnesLevEd: "It would be nice if playtesting were easier."

You are right that those passwords enable cheats and can be used (via an in-game cheat menu) to jump to specific levels.
But in my opinion that's still quite cumbersome; lots of work just to reach specific levels.

That's exactly what the hex changes I linked to do.
The apoplexy level editor already uses it to launch straight into specific SNES levels for playtesting.

That is hard to use, but is not like testing with apoplexy to start at certain level, that is more accurate way to do it..
