Play Super Metroid - Project Base (v0.6) Online

Game Overview

Super Metroid - Project Base (v0.6) is one of those rare hacks that actually makes an already perfect game better. It’s still the same eerie, lonely Zebes you remember—those dripping caverns, the way the music creeps in just as you realize something’s watching you—but now everything just feels tighter. Wall jumps actually work the first try, beams don’t feel useless against late-game enemies, and bosses? Yeah, they’ll wreck you if you’re not careful.

I was skeptical at first—Super Metroid’s jank is part of its charm, right? But after the first hour, I couldn’t go back to vanilla. The tweaks are subtle but everywhere: faster door transitions, smarter enemy patterns, even the damn grapple beam behaves like it should. Speedrunners will geek out over the precision, but honestly, it’s just a smoother ride for anyone who loves crawling through alien ruins with a plasma cannon.

If you’ve played the original to death, this is the excuse you needed to suit up again.
