DOWNLOAD:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/m2m9qc4df81mgpe/Spelunky_Metroid_Mod_v1.1.rar



SOUNDFX pack(not included in main download!)-



INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

Drop contents into your Spelunky/Data folder and

overwrite.

Be sure to backup your Spelunky/Data/Music,

Spelunky/Data/Textures and Spelunky/Data/Localization folders, and Spelunky/Data/Sounds if you are using the soundFX pack.







MOD DESCRIPTION:

Spelunky Metroid Mod alters the graphics, music and text to a Metroid theme. SMM does not(significantly) alter gameplay. Some things are a little different however, for example bats are now a little harder to see, skeletons now look a little different depending on whether they are live or not, etc.. But basically SMM is purely an aesthetic change to Spelunky.





FUTURE PLANS:

There are a few updates I might make in the future when I get around to it(working full time and i'm a dad..) but when I get some time I would like to replace all selectable characters with chars form other series Castlevania, Mario, etc.. And I want make a tracklisting for the new soundtrack. Also I want to finish the other damsels, currently only the female damsel is done and it is also Samus. Why?(Samus rescuing Samus?) because they are both blonde bombshells, why not?





KNOWN ISSUES:

This Mod is Not Perfect! There are many little things that are a bit off with SMM mostly because you cannot really mod the gameplay of Spelunky so there are side effects. For example, Samus' head is on fire in the title screen, Samus' gun and other items don't align properly, etc.. Metroid characters have different proportions than Spelunky characters so things won't be perfect. That being said, Metroid and Spelunky are two completely different games in two different styles so not everything is going to be logical(map stations as tiki traps?) It is like using a piece from one jigsaw puzzle to finish another puzzle. Just think of it all as a strange dream that our Spelunky man is having and try to enjoy it! There may also be cameo's from other games depending on where your adventures take you. And a few items I didn't do anything to like camera, webgun etc.. because reasons. I'm sure other things will come up, let me know if you find anything.



I had no intention of releasing (or even doing this for that matter) it is basically just an experiment that got a little out of hand so take its flaws lightly!







CREDITS:

I did not rip the vast majority of these sprites and they were gathered from various spriters resource pages around the web. However, every sprite has been highly edited to blend into the game. Below are the sites I got images from. It would be extremely tedious and very time consuming to try to go through every single altered sprite to get individual credits but if you think I am using something you have ripped and would like special credit please contact me and I will update the credits.
