Protip: Use the VBA-M core if using RetroArch, otherwise Bipedal Monster won't work.

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.

"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.

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!

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.
