![]() | KaiserBel 20 Jun 2021 20:18 Alguien me puede dar el Room de este juego? Por favor, no lo encuentro en ninguna parte | ||
![]() | Morduvirus74 29 Jun 2021 17:21 Mastered ! A great game ! | ||
![]() | Bendroar40 12 Jul 2021 16:17 okay WHY ARE THERE 3 CHALLENGES THAT REQUIRE YOU TO BEAT THE WHOLE GAME IN UNDER 3-9 or 3 TO 9 HOURS?!?!?!?!?!?! | ||
![]() | kaisser 24 Jul 2021 01:02 Because each of them correspond to a different ending. | ||
![]() | Jrscruff 3 Aug 2021 15:47 "Whats Plasma?" was broken for me :-( | ||
![]() | KlydeKadell 16 Aug 2021 01:42 "Whats plasma" did not work on my first pickup of the plasma beam, but i switched to the spazer and then back to plasma in the vertical hall with all the replacement beams in ruins 3 and it popped that time, if that helps anyone | ||
![]() | Zyvyn 19 Aug 2021 18:53 If I beat the game in under 3 hours on my first run will I also get the achievements for sub 9 and 5 hours? | ||
![]() | Zyvyn 19 Aug 2021 18:55 This is probably the easiest Metroid set that isn't a hack | ||
![]() | dizzykei 28 Aug 2021 13:25 Got Mutation on my second gamma metroid, not first. Firstly i kill left one, second at right side. | ||
![]() | dizzykei 28 Aug 2021 18:07 Description for "Tanks for the Health" kinda incorrect. Game have 6 tanks, but only five can be added for health bar. So fifth is final for health bar. | ||
![]() | AntonioFNN 11 Sep 2021 05:53 The set is very good, thanks to the author | ||
![]() | pr1nc1p3 19 Sep 2021 15:47 This game must have and achievement for each metroid. Thats how achievements help gamers something you miss! | ||
![]() | mokadyn 27 Oct 2021 06:44 Chill set! Nothing crazy and you'll pretty much just complete it naturally if you're going for all items in a timely pace. | ||
![]() | Dimitroid66 23 Nov 2021 21:23 Mastered! | ||
![]() | Veldt 18 Dec 2021 22:32 Mastered, this was always the Metroid game I played the least, but doing this set made me appreciate it a lot more, thanks! | ||
![]() | Xiroes 24 Apr 2022 04:16 Mastered! Was able to do it in one playthrough too. Never played it before but I was actually surprised at how fun it is! Thanks for the set! | ||
![]() | Athetosis5 17 Sep 2022 17:06 Played with EJRTQ colorization. It's like a DX version for Metroid 2, makes transitions incredibly smooth and honestly it breathes new life into this game. Strongly recommend. Also somehow mastered in one run. | ||
![]() | SuperTrashDragon 19 Nov 2022 04:16 I entered this game with the mindset of "If I do it now, I'll never have to do it again." Terrible mindset that the game does not deserve. The game's not a masterpiece, but my impression of it by proxy was far worse than my genuine experience, and it's actually a fun time. | ||
