Play Super Metroid Justin Bailey Online

Super Metroid Justin Bailey is one of those weird, wonderful hacks that makes you go, "Wait, this actually works?" It takes the original SNES masterpiece and strips Samus down to her iconic leotard—no power suit, just raw speed and reflexes. At first, I thought it'd be a joke mod, but the level design holds up surprisingly well when you're dodging attacks instead of tanking them.

You still get that classic Metroid exploration, hunting for upgrades in dark corners, but now every enemy encounter feels way more tense. Ridley's fireballs hurt a lot more when you can't just shrug them off. The hack keeps all the original's brilliant map layouts and secrets—it just makes you play them differently. By the time you're wall-jumping past Shriekbats in your PJs, it starts feeling strangely natural.

Perfect for when you've memorized every pixel of the original and need a fresh challenge. Or if you've ever wanted to see Samus run a marathon in high heels.
