If you’ve visited a map room, it’ll retain that info, but it won’t save any room you’ve already visited (they’ll all be blue). – Once you save and power off the game, the “red” map data gets corrupt. – If you get to a boss that’s too hard, or an area that you’re not “ready” for, just go searching elsewhere…you’ve most likely arrived there too soon. There’s a few things like this in the game I really enjoyed, but don’t want to give more detail, cause I don’t want to spoil anything. – The first boss is hard and out of order from the original SM, but I loved how doing it this way required me to learn it’s moves and compensate, rather then just blast away. – No essential item or area in the game requires special skills, like crazy diagonal spinesharking or anything like that. I finished it in just under 7 hours at 80%, but I was taking my time and exploring and probably could have cut at least two hours out of that. I’m not sure why the developer didn’t just use Ridley too…or even make them a completely different color or something:Īiry is definitely more challenging then SM, but can definitely be completed by anyone who’s beat the original. This is strange at first, since you need to defeat the correct boss to enter certain areas.

– The developer uses Kraid statues for both Ridley and Kraid. I wish someone would make an MSU audio hack for it! I found this to be annoying and I ended up taking a picture of the map with my phone every time I left an area. – Sometimes (but not always), when you save and power off the game, the “red” map data gets corrupt. – If you get to a boss that’s too hard, just go searching elsewhere…there’s probably something you could have gotten that will make things easier. I didn’t have any problems with this at all. – It saves automatically when you enter a new area. It’s basically the 16-bit version of Metroid. This is Super Metroid with it’s map edited to match the original Metroid game and some of the game mechanics changed You can shoot diagonally, but you still can’t crouch. At times it felt the enhancements made it a bit easier then the original, but it was an absolute blast to play! The controls even feel a bit better at times and have some features that really add to the game. This is definitely the first romhack any Super Metroid fan should start with! It’s basically just an enhanced version of the original with almost the exact same map. Finally, they’re all able to be played on real hardware via a romcart!!! These can all be played by people who can comfortably beat the original and aren’t too crazy. If you’ve played the original within a year, you should be fine.Īlso, please note that there’s a ton of Super Metroid romhacks available, but I don’t enjoy the ones that are expert-only Some require crazy moves like diagonal shinesparking, just to pass through to the next area. If you’d like to try any of these, I suggest playing the original Super Metroid first, just to familiarize yourself with some of the nuances of the original. I wanted to create this page to share my opinion about a few romhacks of my favorite game, Super Metroid.
