Metroid: Metroid mOTHER

Metroid: Metroid mOTHER is a fan-made hack for the Nintendo Entertainment System that combines elements from three separate hacks to create an enhanced remake of the original Metroid game. It retains the original graphics and layout while introducing features such as save files, updated animations, and improved enemy and environmental designs. The hack is credited to various authors for their contributions to its development.

This hack is the combination of three individual hacks.
It was created to be the ultimate NES remake of a classic game.

The original palette has been utilized and the layout of the map is exactly as the original. The only exception is the room where you fight Ridley. To reduce flicker (as much as possible) I had to place Ridley above the doors.

I do not claim any credit for the actual content - only for the hard work of making it all work together.

All credits go to the below listed hacks and their individual authors:

Metroid + Saving (v 0.3) - snarfblam:

- Minimap
- Savefiles
- Beamstacking
- Better icebeam and bombs

MDbtroid - Infinity's End:

- Nicer title screen
- Nicer endings
- Updated run animation
- Updated player sprite (suited and suitless)
- Updated enemy sprites
- Enlarged and updated Kraid and Ridley
- Updated Mother Brain
- Various updated tiles

'Roidz - DemickXII:

- Nicer background tiles
- Animated lava, doors and elevators
- Animated corridors
- Animated Norfair (Ridley level)
- Animated Tourian (Mother Brain level)
- Various updated tiles
