Items and Abilities - The Spazer Laser Beam

In the original packaging, the object identified as the "Spazer" in-game was listed as the "Spazer Laser Beam" in the original manual. In Super Metroid, this was officially changed to "Spazer Beam", but the fact still remains that the item's full original name was indeed the "Spazer Laser Beam". One merely needs to manual to confirm this. Here's an excerpt from the original manual:

Spazer Laser Beam

A three way beam with an extremely wide focus is fired when this weapon is discharged.

Metroid II DX: Unofficial version

The "IPS" version floating around isn't actually the *first* version of Metroid II DX Unofficial that was released at all. In actuality, the first M2DXU it utilized a completely different method of colorization, one that relied on the now-defunct "GBColorizer" by MisterFishy. Unlike the IPS patch, the GBColorizer one actually modified several sprites to take advantage of the colorization, rather than just adding color to the game. I've provided a link that has information regarding that original colorization project (but it does not have a link to the ROM, mind you), and I don't think MisterFishy's page is up anymore.

[[1]] <- There's the information regarding the original project. If you would like more information regarding it, please feel free to send me an Instant Message or an Email.

Colorized ending?

I'm very sure that the readers would like to see a colorized version of the best ending. I have one. http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/9678/colormetroidendrl9.png -Xparasite9 01:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Colorized version on original cart?

There's a new addition that mentions that DX mode is available on some paks. Metroid II, from what I've read, features some pre-loaded palettes for use with the Super Game Boy, but this is a bit different from the DX version. Perhaps the user was confused by this? -Jacquismo 01:20, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

The Game Boy Color unit itself contains several premade palettes for the most popular games. Super Mario Land and Metroid II, for example, have palettes. Bear in mind- its the GBC that has these, not the cartridges. I've been studying Metroid II for over a decade and I've never in my life heard anything about a color Metroid II being in the public's hands. Unless this anonymous editor has a reliable, linkable source, the paragraph he added does not belong here. Ex-Nintendo Employee 04:42, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it doesn't really make sense that for a color palette to be on the cartridge. I guess I was thinking that this and the Super Game Boy were released closer together, so it could have been possible. Thanks for clearing it up. -Jacquismo 23:57, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Metroid 2 fan-projects

There have been many fangame projects of Metroid II started up in the past few years, most notably [metroid2remake.blogspot.com Another Metroid 2 Remake] and Metroid: SR:388. Should these projects be added to the page, even though they are unofficial fan projects? 151.205.80.37 (talk) 12:48, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
