MOD: Kappa in Super Metroid (Posted Sep 15, 2026)

Kappa giving those space pirates what's for

I love Super Metroid, I love Randomizers, and I love making sprites of my little goobers. I thought it would be fun making sprites of my goober to play as in Super Metroid randomizers.

...Unfortunately at the time of writing this my controllers are still in storage, so testing this means enduring Super Metroid on keyboard.

Sprite Sheet Download

I recommend using SpriteSomething to inject the sprite sheet into the rom of your choice. I've only tested it with the vanilla game and Map Rando, but in theory it should work with other randomizers.

Things to Note

  • Kappa's short. Their gun's way lower than Samus's and there isn't really any way to get around that. Maybe it'd be cool one day making a proper hack someday affecting all the shot positions and hitboxes.
  • There are some minor animation misalignments, mostly just things Super Metroid already does that are hard to work around.
