Play Super Metroid Snowglobe Online

Super Metroid Snowglobe is a 1994 hack of the original Super Metroid for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, developed by fans and released unofficially. It takes the foundation of Nintendo's classic and reimagines the planet Zebes as a frozen, hostile world, fitting right in with the era's focus on deep, atmospheric action games.

You control Samus Aran, exploring a labyrinth of icy caverns and abandoned facilities room by room. Your main goal is still to collect power-ups and defeat Metroids, but the environment itself is the new antagonist. Signature mechanics include using your beam weapons to melt or shatter ice barriers that block your path, and carefully managing your movement across slippery surfaces that make platforming perilous. The pacing is deliberate, often tense, as a mistimed jump or a missed shot can mean a quick death. Navigating its frigid, interconnected map feels like solving a massive, dangerous puzzle where every new ability truly changes how you see the terrain.
