One of my buddies in the Metroid hacking community released this hack recently. It is the first Metroid 2 hack that is (a) not a colorization, and (b) longer than 15 minutes.

I spent an absurd amount of time last year disassembling the game, which inspired moehr to make this hack. While the end result is a bit smaller than the original game, it is very extensive. Moehr was able to add a whole bevy of features to the game, from an in-game map, to non-linear design, new power-ups, new enemy behaviors, new block-types, beam switching, animated tiles --- the whole nine yards. It was a pleasure to work with him and help him implement his nutty ideas.

Available on Metroid Construction

I will give a slight word of warning to folks unfamiliar with the author's track record with Super Metroid hacks: this is a "moehr hack" through and through. Despite being built off of a different game, it still has his usual trademarks: visual maximalism that requires a careful eye, bizarre chocolatey puzzle elements, and weird swings in difficulty if you aren't careful.

A manual is included on the page, and I recommend reading at least the beginning portion before starting. My estimated playtime for this is around 3 hours.

(if the site complains "Resource Limit is Reached" or whatever just refresh until it cooperates)
