Description
Go Samus. Defeat Karid-X, and then exit the station.

Made for Mentlegen's One Week Hacking Contest. Should only take you 20-30 minutes to complete your first time though.

Known Issues (may be fixed later):
- For some reason Karid-X wasn't spawning if you had missiles, so there are 7 energy tanks in the game.
- The game doesn't pause when you kill Karid-X, even though the fanfare plays.
- You might lose your missiles if you die after beating Karid-X (realistically speaking, this is only a risk in glitchless low%).
- Sometimes the mellas don't visually disappear after being killed (don't worry, their hitbox is gone).

Credits:
- RT-55J - Concept, level design, graphics, ASM
- snowbro, dirty mcdingus - the Metroid 1 disassembly
- snarfblam - Editroid, ASM
- nobody - testing

Special thanks to mindflower, who gave me me a copy of his project when he needed some help a while back, from which I copied a couple ASM tweaks that I think snarfblam did.

100% is 14 items
Low% is Morph Ball + 1 item

Enjoy!

Nice short M1 hack. Easy for anyone to get into! It's a great introduction and the tiles are fantastic.
Level design is well done and it was just enjoyable overall.
Finished.

Short Metroid Hack that mixes up the normal tilesets with a recreational tileset of Fusion's tile. Enjoyed the level design despite me still not being used for Metroid 1's jump physics.
Time is rta.

Time is approximate, got 10 items I think.
A short yet fun NEStroid adventure with beautiful Fusion-inspired tile graphics. Recommended to anyone looking for a less headache-inducing NEStroid experience.

No completion stats.
I remember downloading this hack years ago and it wasn't until yesterday I realized RT-55J made it.

Completed it today. Having tried a few Nestroid hacks I have to say that both the tiling and the room layout is done in such a manner that most rooms look very distinct. (Probably one of a few hacks that have actually pulled this off.) Enemies weren't brutal, and this being a short hack it was easy to pick up and dive right in.

I'm pretty sure I entered Karid X's room the wrong way, but it all worked out all the same.
