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.
