Summary

Metroid Planets is a Fan Remake of the 1986 Nintendo Entertainment System game Metroid created by vacantshade.

It updates Samus' movement and adds a saving system, among other features. The game is called Metroid Planets because of its multiple maps. Planet Zebeth is a remake of the original Metroid. Planet Novus is a whole new map with new bosses and new areas. Selecting Planet Enigma will bring you to a room creator and a map generator that uses those rooms to create a world. (If you go to the Discord linked in the game menu, you can download a room pack and upload your own rooms.) The game also has online multiplayer.
