From Trax, the author of the Contra hack Revenge of the Red Falcon, comes an early Christmas present: a nifty Contra hack titled Mountain Challenge. It’s short, but sweet. It’s a one-level hack where you race to the top of the mountain as fast as possible. The difficulty is dialed back a couple of notches compared to Revenge of the Red Falcon, but you’ll have plenty of chances to die running full speed ahead, trying to top your best time.

Time to release a new version of my Metroid editor. This version allows you to add ASM to each screen that will run when the screen loads. It includes a built-in assembler so you can do everything right in Editroid.

Warp Caves In The Legend of Zelda, there are four “warp caves” that connect to each other, allowing the player to quickly traverse the overworld. If you try to move these warp caves with Zelda Tech, you’ll discover that either the player will still be warped to one of the original warp cave locations, or, […]

I’ve decided to share my simple Wavy-Ice hack. It allows the player to combine the wave beam and ice beam in Metroid. Note that this only works on a ROM expanded by Editroid 2.1.

So I made this thing to edit Metroid (NES) music data, and I named it “Metroid Tuner,” because I didn’t feel like trying very hard to come up with a good name. Metroid Tuner dumps and inserts music using a relatively simple text-based format.
