I created a Super Metroid hack which I've called The Super Metroid Challenge.

It's nothing spectacular, but I did put a lot of work into it. It's a difficulty hack designed to challenge those who have grown up playing Super Metroid while not making the game overwhelmingly difficult to the point it is no longer fun.

For those curious, you can find the topic I have created for it here.

Metroid Construction: The Super Metroid Challenge

If you beat it, play it, or even if you don't play it feel free to let me know what you think.

I think I've played only one metroid game my entire life all of one time. Unless super smash bros counts. Which it probably doesn't.

Lol, four posts but nothing to respond to.

Controversy time - Bacon is super overhyped/rated and really not that special.

Unless used in other things and not just on its own. And while we're on this topic of overrated foods, Nutella is not the god of spreads. That belongs to any jelly, though I haven;t tried sex jelly.

Oh, uh, the thread's original topic. Yeah, I don't really feel like getting lost in Metroid or getting killed by Ridley quickly since it's apparently harder. The main reason is just that I don't really like that game to begin with because of the maze-like crap they pulled. I know people consider Castlevania: Symphony of the Night to be "Metroidvania", but it really isn't. There's enough landmarks and recognizable things that I know where to go to find things and I don't really get lost. And that's a game I've completed in one sitting recently. People tagged Dust: An Elysian Tail as "Metroidvania" on Steam, but it isn't. You choose the level, you complete it. It's much more linear than Metroid.

"Metroidvania" is a stupid term.

Someone should make an LP of your hack. I've never played any version of Metroid, so not me.

Based on it's reactions so far, I may have made it a bit too hard and annoying and not unique enough, heh. I am slowly fixing some of the mistakes though, so the next version should be a little more playable and fun.
