QuoteIt's been a hot minute since I made a map of a Metroid 1 hack (last March with the Confrontation NES port, I think), so it's about time that I made another one!

The hack in question is simply titled "Metroid Adventure." It's a hack that appears to have been made as a self-imposed challenge by the author --- essentially, he decided to create a brand new (ish) world layout, but only using screens from the original game. Unfortunately, MetEdit back in the day did not support moving items around on the map, severely limiting the choices the author could make. Moreover, the choices that the author did choose to make were actively antagonistic. In the hack's readme, the author brags about all of the "long passages," "backtracking," and "confusing map design." For a fun exercise, see if you can figure out the intended path to get bombs from the start. :) (Bonus points if you can figure out a shortcut.)

Anyhow, the map is slightly plainer than my other Metroid 1 maps, and I did that to make it more readable given how convoluted the world layout is. Sorry to everybody who likes how I usually retain the colors of the structures. :(

The author's next hack, Project Ridien, was considerably more ambitious, but we'll get to the particulars of that one's design later. ;)

As always, the map is on the map page.
