I doubt Nintendo cares enough about consistency to make sure the Zero Mission map matched the Super Metroid map. My guess is they just said to the developers, "do with it what you want, just make it vaguely resemble the map of NES Metroid. No one will care that it's not identical, and that it doesn't quite match up to Super Metroid's map. Well, maybe some nutcases, who have so much time on their hands, that they are going to over-analyze the entire map of both games" "No ****, do you think there's people like that out there?" "You'd be suprised". |
