Extra Mario Bros Pixel Map

[Jengeth]

Let's start things off with a bang, shall we?

I realized there was no pixel map for Extra Mario Bros yet, so I went and made my own. I know how much you guys love your pixel maps.

Hot dang this map is something extra!

I remember playing this back in the day and being really impressed, though I only ever made it a couple of areas in. The Super Metroid song arrangements were quite nice.

Crumbling into dust as I see this came out in 2005 :#

Uhh whoops, I did it again. Here's Nuts Station:

this map is nuts

One thing I like about making maps like this is that I get to figure out the superstructures and start assembling screens the way NEStroid does it.

this is horrifying and kinda awesome

The crucial thing to remember about Extra Mario Bros is that, since it's a Mario 1 hack, you can only scroll to the right (though there are plenty of pipes to take you backwards).

I don't believe I've ever seen another metroidvania in existence with this sort of design restriction.

And that's why I wanted to map it out.

The best part about making a map of Metroid Genocide is realizing that there is exactly 1 room that no playthroughs seem to enter in Ridley's Hideout, other than 1 guy who promptly exits the room without exploring it fully. Luckily I can read hex.

Edit: mmmnope. There is exactly one instance of room ID 04. Looks like I'm gonna have to play the game.
