| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) | comment |
Another Metroid 2 Remake (aka Project AM2R) is a Fan Remake of the 1991 Game Boy game Metroid II: Return of Samus, started and headed by Argentinian programmer Milton "DoctorM64" Guasti. The project, which started development around 2006, aims to update the gameplay and graphics of the original game in the vein of Metroid: Zero Mission, and while beginning as a hobby project by Guasti, it expanded over time to include several different contributors from around the globe.The game was officially released the August 6th 2016, for the 30th anniversary of Metroid. Due to DMCA takedowns, apparently sent on Nintendo's behalf, you can no longer download it from the developer's blog. Guasti said at first he and the rest of the development team would continue to update and improve the game, but due to a DMCA notice sent by Nintendo directly a week after the first DMCA notice (which apparently wasn't from an official Nintendo source), any future updates that were planned are now squashed. Guasti since has requested fans to not be angry at Nintendo for the DMCA takedowns, as it is their legal obligation to protect their IP. He has also suggested people buy the original Metroid II off the eShop to show them that people are still interested in the 2D Metroidvania genre.Of course, given that the game had already been released, this was guaranteed to cause Streisand Effect and ensured that fans would put up their own downloads. Furthermore, some dedicated fans have since managed to reverse engineer the game's source code, and have as a result been able to release a couple of unofficial patches, fixing most, if not all, of the remaining bugs and even implemented most of the original team's planned, but unfinished features, and keep supporting the game through new releases into the 2020s.As for the title; Guasti explained that when he started the project, it was merely one of out of a quite few other attempted remakes of Metroid 2, hence the "Another" in the title. Ironically, where the other projects ended up being abandoned, AM2R was the the only one to actually get a full release.As it turned out, Nintendo had a hidden agenda behind their takedown request: they'd been working on their own remake, Metroid: Samus Returns, which would be announced at E3 2017 before coming out on September 15 of the same year.To celebrate the remake's fifth anniversary and Metroid's 35th anniversary, DoctorM64 released a spinoff in 2021 called Skippy the Bot, a short platformer puzzle game featuring a robot that appeared in a section of AM2R. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
In the original Metroid II, Samus's mission was just to exterminate all of the Metroids. In this version she also has the secondary mission of finding the Research and Rescue Teams sent by the Galactic Federation, which were mentioned in Metroid II's instruction manual but did not appear anywhere in the actual game. She fails to save the Research Team, and is just barely too late to save the Rescue Team. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: In spades. Numerous areas have been given complete artistic overhaulsnote Not that the original gave Guasti much to work with, since the Game Boy's graphical limitations restricted things to gray on a black background, entire enemies and even bosses have been added from scratch, and items and powers featured later in the Metroid series have been added as well.note Such as the Super Missile, Speed Boost, Charge Beam, and Power Bomb. Other areas have been given complete additions. For example, the Tower has been given a whole new sub-area, the Power Plant, which was not in the original Phase 7. An entirely new area, the Distribution Center, was added between Phase 7 and Phase 8. In the original Metroid II, Samus's mission was just to exterminate all of the Metroids. In this version she also has the secondary mission of finding the Research and Rescue Teams sent by the Galactic Federation, which were mentioned in Metroid II's instruction manual but did not appear anywhere in the actual game. She fails to save the Research Team, and is just barely too late to save the Rescue Team. | |

Artifact Title | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_2b7d29e1 | comment |
Artifact Title: Zig-zagged. The project got started in 2006, when interest in Metroid II fan remakes was extremely high due to the very successful Metroid: Zero Mission (a remake of the first game) and there were plenty of efforts to make a fan remake of the second game in the same vein. As the years went by, every one of these projects ended up dying or disappearing, and AM2R simply turned out to be the last man standing. However, it was DMCA'd shortly after release because Nintendo had an actual remake in the works, so now the title fits again because it literally is another Metroid II remake. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: The initial release contained two major glitches that could significantly impact gameplay. Fortunately, Patch 1.1 fixed both of these issues: If you're one of the unlucky ones to have a certain graphics card, Samus would turn invisible when you equip the Gravity Suit. While it's not entirely game-breaking as you could use the Varia Suit instead, it makes navigating the underwater areas needlessly more difficult and turns Serris into a much more difficult fight. In the final area of the game, if you froze a Metroid and it went off-screen, it was possible for it to despawn, making the game Unintentionally Unwinnable. Because the doors lock during Metroid battles, you couldn't simply exit and reenter the room to try to respawn the Metroid, and you were trapped in the room permanently, forcing a restart from your last save point. | |

There's also a Random Game+ mode, which is like New Game+, but it shuffles the locations of all the major upgrades (for example, you might get the High Jump Boots as early as the Golden Temple, but have to wait until the Tower to get the Charge Beam). Some minor modifications are made to the levels so you can't get trapped without a way to progress. There are also options that allow you to shuffle just the regular item expansions or to shuffle the item expansions with the major upgrades. | |

Dual Boss: When Samus finds the dead research team, she must fight two Alpha Metroids at the same time. Exaggerated later in the Distribution Center, when she must fight five Alpha Metroids at once. There's also a point in the same area where she must fight two Gamma Metroids at once. | |

Harmless Freezing | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_4a0ec526 | comment |
Harmless Freezing: Largely averted, which is surprising since most Metroid games play it straight. Frozen enemies are affected by gravity and will eventually shatter (you can speed up the process with a missile). Played straight with the Larval Metroids in the last area, which must be frozen then shattered with missiles as per other games in the series. | |

Body Horror: The first time you see an Alpha molt from a regular Metroid, it's much like the original: the molted skin bursts and out comes the Alpha. But when you meet your first Gamma, it shows up as a regular Alpha... then its eyes close, its plated armor segments and its legs and fangs elongate amid spurts of gray blood, showing that the transformation is far from painless, and its now-triplicated eyes open and it screeches. The transition from Gamma to Omega is similarly painful-looking. | |

| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_56f6d892 | comment |
Injured Player Character Stage: After a massive explosion leaves Samus with 5 energy left, the player must choose whether to return to the Tower or explore the destroyed Power Plant. If they choose the former, then Samus must carefully navigate her way to the nearest save station to replenish her suit's energy, avoiding enemies that are strong enough to kill her in one hit at this stage. The latter option is considerably safer, since there are no enemies and it eventually leads to an Energy Tank. | |

Not His Sled: Oh, you thought you were just gonna walk out with the Space Jump, like in the original game? Think again. The Chozo statue awakens and reveals itself to be a Torizo. The battle for the the Spring Ball was a simple matter of bombing Arachnus in the original. Here, it revs itself like Sonic the Hedgehog, and you have to carefully place bombs to launch it into electrified spikes on the wall three times. Thought you could mix and match strategies and use the Power Bombs to instagib the Queen Metroid like in Metroid: Other M? Hope you like pain with your futility! There's a scripted event where the Queen bites down on Samus when she has no more room to run, and that is when you re-enact its death scene from Other M. In the original game and the demo versions, the Ice Beam was the first beam upgrade you could find. In the final version, however, it's the last beam upgrade you find! The item you find in the place you originally found the Ice Beam? The Charge Beam, which was not in the original game. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: In the original game, there were four distinct types of liquid: an unidentified thick liquid that impaired Samus's movements (seen in Phase 1 and Phase 9); normal water that was largely aesthetic and did not affect gameplay (seen in Phase 3 and Phase 7); an unidentified black liquid that was also aesthetic (seen only in Phase 8); and the corrosive deadly liquid that drained with every earthquake. Another Metroid 2 Remake makes no distinction between the thick liquid and normal water, with water acting as it does in later games such as Super Metroid. The deadly liquid is also depicted as lava, rather than a separate unique substance, and is the only liquid seen in the Nest (completely replacing the black liquid from Phase 8). In the original game, Samus can only hold one beam weapon at a time. Therefore, while they were first offered in previous areas, each beam type could also be collected from a secondnote or third, in the Ice Beam's case Chozo statue found later in the game so that Samus would not have to backtrack as much if she needed to switch beam types. In Another Metroid 2 Remake, beam weapons are permanently held once collected, so each beam is only offered by a single Chozo statue in the game. (As a nod to the original, the location the four Chozo statues were found in the original now holds the Tester boss fight, a machine that uses all four beams in combat.) Save Stations, Missile Batteries, and Big Energy Balls have been condensed into a single Save Station that fills all three purposes. | |

New Game Plus: Added in the 1.2 fan patch. The lava starts off at the level just below the Distribution Center, allowing you to explore everything up to that point in whatever order you want, though you have to defeat all the Metroids in those areas before you can go any further. There's also a Random Game+ mode, which is like New Game+, but it shuffles the locations of all the major upgrades (for example, you might get the High Jump Boots as early as the Golden Temple, but have to wait until the Tower to get the Charge Beam).

In the final area of the game, if you froze a Metroid and it went off-screen, it was possible for it to despawn, making the game Unintentionally Unwinnable. Because the doors lock during Metroid battles, you couldn't simply exit and reenter the room to try to respawn the Metroid, and you were trapped in the room permanently, forcing a restart from your last save point. | |

Interface Screw | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_66f763c0 | comment |
Interface Screw: Throughout the Distribution Center are explodable spheres and energy fields that effectively act as EMPs, causing static on the screen and disabling Samus's weapons if triggered.note The Screw Attack still works, though, and the Gravity Suit renders you immune. | |

Militaries Are Useless | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_68148dc | comment |
Militaries Are Useless: Surprisingly averted with the Search and Rescue marines. Not only did they make it quite far into SR388, but when you finally catch up they're busy actually gaining the upper hand against a Zeta Metroid. Unfortunately, it picks that moment to metamorphose into an Omega Metroid (which even Samus will struggle to defeat) and soundly slaughters the marines. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Acquiring the newly added charge beam in the demo. When you encounter it, it's blocked up by a different colored block. Nothing you can do can break it, so in grand Metroid tradition you think you're supposed to come back with a weapon that can break it. Nope! Absolutely none of your upgrades can break it. Instead, you're supposed to shoot the orbs hanging from the ceiling not far off in order to move it. Not only is there no indication you're supposed to do that or that the two are related, unless you start shooting around at random and accidentally hit one, said orbs also blend way too well into the background, which would make one believe they are nothing but background. In the full release, the steps above net you an Energy Tank, while the Charge Beam can be found where the Ice Beam was in the original. The hunt for the Ice Beam in the final version of the game requires traversing a whole area filled with unbreakable water monsters that serve as gates, and then finding one room that is nearly identical to one other room in this area, save for one breakable block. Hope you're prepared to use all your power bombs. | |

Door to Before | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_72c04e0d | comment |
Door to Before: Inside the Distribution Center area lie three tubes leading to previous areas (the Golden Temple, Industrial Complex, and Tower, with a fourth tube leading from the Tower to the Hydro Station). These tubes effectively act as a Warp Zone, enabling quick travel across much of the game world once you can access them with the Screw Attack. Version 1.1 added another tube linking the Genetics Laboratory with the Hydro Station (and conveniently situated near the tube leading to the Tower), serving as an easy way to get back to the rest of the map from the final area without having to go back through the Nest. (A rocky wall prevents using it to Sequence Break until you've already killed enough Metroids to unlock the Genetics Lab.) | |

Asymmetric Multiplayer | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_7351b2bf | comment |
Asymmetric Multiplayer: The Multitroid version of the game also includes a "SA-X" mode with two teams — one team uses Fusion suits and only start with ice missiles, and the other team are SA-X enemies with a full set of equipment. The Fusion players have to complete the game as normal, while the SA-X players have to kill all the Fusion players before they can do so. The latter is trickier than it sounds, since locating the Fusion players on such a big map is enough of a challenge to begin with. The SA-X players start with a significant advantage in terms of combat capability, but the Fusion players gradually become more capable of fighting back as they acquire upgrades — on the other hand, the SA-X players will respawn back at their starting point when killed, whereas the Fusion players only have one life each. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: Not only are the Metroids harder to kill, they get slightly smarter each time you kill one, gaining moves like mid-air dodges and a high-speed charge-dash. Arachnus is also tougher than in Metroid II and even its appearance in Metroid Fusion, now being faster and able to take a lot more hits. The Geneses in Metroid Fusion were standard enemies that were restricted to crawling around in ceiling ducts and dropping acidic saliva on you. In this game, just one Genesis has a lot more room to move around, can do a lot more damage, and serves as the game's Bonus Boss. | |

Boss Arena Urgency | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_73ebfe34 | comment |
Boss Arena Urgency: At the Tower, one Gamma Metroid is fought in a cavern full of sand. The sand covers a deadly bed of spikes along the cavern floor. Unfortunately, both your own shots and the Gamma Metroid's electrical attack will clear away any sand that they touch. The longer the fight continues, the less safe ground Samus has to stand on. | |

| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_825f60fa | comment |
Mercy Invincibility: Downplayed. While the 2D Metroid games had somewhat short invincibility frames, this game has them so short that they may as well not exist. The near lack of invincibility frames will tear you up if a Zeta or Omega Metroid manages to corner you, or if you're caught in Genesis's high-velocity acid spit. | |

Metroidvania | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_9ecbba6c | comment |
Metroidvania: The original game is looked down upon by Metroid fans today for being one of the few games with a lesser Metroidvania influence. Taking this criticism to heart, DoctorM64 and the rest of the team have gone and added more elements that are common in the genre, such as optional side areas, secret passages between areas, and sections of the map that require late game items to reach. | |

Power-Up Letdown | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_a0f61fe2 | comment |
Power-Up Letdown: The Ice Beam. You get it as the last weapon in the game, at a point when your beam has been upgraded enough to make quick work of most enemies. The way it freezes enemies makes it much more tedious to farm powerupsnote You can't use your beam to destroy a frozen enemy. Instead, you need to follow its frozen body as it falls to the ground, wait for it to shatter, or take a moment to hit it with a missile or bomb, leading many players to turn it off unless actually needed. Despite being rendered obsolete by the Space Jump, many fans also miss the series-staple ability to use frozen enemies as platforms. | |

Magic Countdown | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_a3597c29 | comment |
Magic Countdown: A variation of this plays out in the Power Bomb Escape sequence. If you are doing poorly, the unstable reactor's temperature will climb slowly until you reach unmarked progress points. If you are able to speed through the obstacles and fights in your path, the temperature will seem to 'spike' as you cross those progress points. No matter your performance, you will always be held up by the slowly-operating blast doors at the very end so that you get caught in the blast. | |

Shielded Core Boss: The Tester has two layers of shielding protecting its vulnerable core: four segments of armor plating that are immune to beams but vulnerable to missiles, and an energy shield that is immune to missiles but vulnerable to beams. Each segment of armor will eventually repair itself if not destroyed completely, but the inner energy shield is gone for good once you break it (unless you're playing on Hard Mode, in which case it will also regenerate over time). | |

Harder Than Hard: Fusion Mode, added on the 1.4 fan patch, is unlocked after finishing the game in under 4 hours. It gives Samus her Fusion Suit, which means she's practically made of paper in comparison to Normal Mode, and her enemies become even tougher. It also makes all organic enemies generate X instead of regular pickups and gives the non-Metroid organic bosses a final Core-X form. There are a multitude of options available to make things even harder for yourself. Start with less Missiles, Energy Tanks hold less, give bosses more health and/or more damage... You can also turn on Insanity Mode, which removes the ability to save. | |

Call-Forward | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_e3c36782 | comment |
Call-Forward: Near the GFS Thoth, you can find the same room Samus got infected by the X Parasites in at the beginning of Metroid Fusion. There's even the same enemy placed there, albeit it's obviously not infected... yet. Aboard the GFS Thoth itself, you find a trio of creatures from Metroid Fusion stored inside capsules: B.O.X.'s brain, an Evir, and a piece of Nightmare. Hiding near them as a boss is another enemy from that game, the Genesis. The Save station there also is of a design similar to the Navigation/Recharge rooms from Fusion. Serris, a boss fought on the research station in Metroid Fusion, makes an appearance in the Distribution Center, and it's tougher than the parasite-emulated one. Beating the game in under two hours gets you a scene featuring Samus contacting Ceres Space Colony. | |

Nerf: Omega Metroids were considered to be That One Boss by many due to how hard they hit and how they could eat up a lot of missiles, especially if you missed a lot with your Super Missiles (or just didn't have many to begin with). Patch 1.1 reduced their health and damage output. | |

Divergent Character Evolution | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_e5d37e0f | comment |
Divergent Character Evolution: While Moheeks still behave identically to Needlers and Tsumuris when on land (sticking to surfaces and crawling along at any angle or orientation), they now swim around freely when they appear underwater at the Distribution Center. Shirks no longer behave identically to Senjoos, now adopting a much more aggressive behavior as they purposefully try to ram into Samus instead of simply circling around in the air. TPOs and Meboids, two examples of the very common "fly back and forth horizontally" enemy type from the original game, now each have unique behaviors. TPOs will split in two when attacked and aggressively home in on Samus. Meboids spawn infinitely from clusters that they swarm around to protect, and can only be effectively defeated by freezing them with the Ice Beam and shattering them with a missile. | |

Bonus Boss | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_ee0327e7 | comment |
Bonus Boss: Genesis, boss of the GFS Thoth, which is completely optional to find and only holds expansion pickups. Furthermore, unlike other somewhat optional bosses that guard maneuverability or beam upgrades, the only thing you gain from beating it is a single Energy Tank. | |

Anti-Climax | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_eeb4a5eb | comment |
Anti-Climax: The scripted event where the Queen Metroid starts biting down on Samus can be resolved by dropping a Power Bomb in her stomach and having her explode in a shining burst of light, her bloody carcass dripping around you as it rests on the ground... or you can just let off a few more missiles/super missiles/regular bombs/power bombs in her mouth and watch something that's about as climactic as any other Metroid death, possibly less so. | |

Boss Remix | |

Boss Remix: The boss theme of Genesis is a fast-paced intense remix of the theme for the GFS Thoth, the area where Genesis is encountered. | |

Fission Mailed | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_f3f391f6 | comment |
Fission Mailed: The game is scripted so that it is impossible to escape the blast radius of the exploding power cell underneath the Tower. Players may notice the power cell's temperature increases at a much faster rate once they reach the two blast doors, and it will always detonate just as the second door opens. After an explosion that fills the whole screen, they are treated to the image of Samus lying on the floor amidst the rubble as her energy drops quickly... but then unexpectedly stops at five, and she gets back up. Going back towards the ruined power cell chamber leads players to a free Energy Tank and Missile Tank, fully replenishing Samus's health and then some. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f | comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: While Arachnus was already one of these in the base game, it takes it to a new level in Fusion Mode. It's the first organic, non-Metroid boss you face, which means it's the first one to turn into a Core-X when it's killed; players that just barely managed to kill Arachnus will suddenly find themselves facing one last phase to the fight. Torizo also qualifies, as Arachnus is largely an optional boss — the Space Jump is far more necessary for progression than the Spring Ball, so players will be less inclined to skip the Torizo battle. | |

Warp Zone | |
| Another Metroid 2 Remake (Video Game) / int_f963c339 | comment |
Inside the Distribution Center area lie three tubes leading to previous areas (the Golden Temple, Industrial Complex, and Tower, with a fourth tube leading from the Tower to the Hydro Station). These tubes effectively act as a Warp Zone, enabling quick travel across much of the game world once you can access them with the Screw Attack. | |
