Metroid Remix v1.2 01/11/00 by Litmus Dragon ------------------------- WHATS NEW? v1.1 - Fixed a bug that was preventing the ice beam from appearing v1.2 - * Title screen now says "Metroid Remix by Litmus Dragon" * Fixed a bug which put the elevator out of Kraid's hideout in the wrong place (and made it impossible to get back to Brinstar) * Moved some things around in Norfair that were making jumps harder than they should have been * I've played completely through this version, it should be bug-free v1.3 - * Changed the intro screen text and the end game text WHAT IS THIS? This is a hack for Metroid. Imagine an alternate Metroid with a slightly higher difficulty level, new areas to explore, and the items and monsters in new locations; this is what you have here. HOW DO I USE THIS? You'll need three things; an IPS patching program, a Nintendo emulator (NESticle is probably best), and the Metroid ROM. If this is unclear you can find more information about the first two subjects at http://www.zophar.net (NESticle should be easy to find; do a search for rom hacking or IPS to find out about the patching). The ROM you will have to find yourself. I do not have the ROM nor do I know where you can get it. I will not send it to you; please do not email me asking me to do this. WHATS BEEN HACKED? Brinstar: Brinstar has the most changes. Most of the items and the entrance to Kraid's lair have been hidden in new places. Also several new areas have been added. Norfair: Almost all of the items and the entrance to Ridley's lair have been switched around or hidden in new locations. The layout is nearly identical to the map in normal Metroid but the creatures are in different areas. Kraid's Hideout: Kraid and most of the items have been moved. The layout is a bit different than the original. Ridley's Hideout: Ridley and most of the items have been hidden in new locations. This area is larger than in the original but the layout is more or less the same. Mini-Ridley has been hacked into the game (he didn't appear in the original Metroid). He's located in the lower-left area of the hideout. Tourain: Nothing changed. --- I made this hack using the amazing program Metedit, which can be found at: http://home.sol.no/~kenhanse/nes/ My thanks to Ken Hansen for his program.
