Baby Metroid

Overview

A super metroid romhack for both toddlers and adults.

Baby Metroid is a new romhack for Super Metroid targeted at younger players. I wrote it for my son, who badly wanted to play but lacked the experience to complete the full game on his own.

Story: The death of the Baby Metroid weighing on her conscience, Samus Aran purchases a quantum time engine and uses it to travel back in time, intending to defeat not only Mother Brain but also destiny itself.

The game is intended for children, but I have included some puzzles to hopefully make the game interesting for adults too.

- Statues of Samus Aran guide the player to hidden blocks.

- Single-button blue suit for players who have not yet learned how to use multiple buttons at once.

- Sticky morph ball makes navigating tough rooms easier and turns the game into a playground.

- Colorized HUD so the item color matches the color of the door it opens.

- Spikes and other scary/dangerous elements have been removed or modified to be less intimidating.

- New logic turns boss fights into puzzles.
