About Super Metroid
The Space Pirates, merciless agents of the evil Mother Brain, have stolen the last Metroid from a research station, and once again Mother Brain threatens the safety of the galaxy! Samus Aran must don her awesome array of high-tech weaponry to retrieve the deadly Metroid hidden deep within the cave-riddled planet Zebes. Super Metroid features excellent graphics, with a huge variety of enemies and worlds to explore. The side-view action will be familiar to many players, only now there are new weapons and items, including the Grappling Beam, which allows Samus to swing across large chasms, and the X-Ray Scope, which reveals secret passages.

Super Metroid PC port: quick answers

- It is in beta: playable, with known issues. Its last update was Oct 2026, and the latest release is 0.7.0.
- Which systems does it run on?
- Windows.
- Is it an emulator?
- No. SuperMetroidDecomp rebuilds the game's source code, so it runs as a native program instead of through an emulator.
