Mintroid is a rom hack of Metroid: Zero Mission, it was an attempt to create something short and fun while limited to a 10x10 minimap space. The minty theme put on top is just for some extra fun.

User guide
Story
This hack is, as stated, very short and even within that shortness has plenty of intentional sequence breaks.
As a side note, the hack is not made to be very challenging,, give Hard (Menthol) mode a try if Minty mode is too easy for your taste.
Tips and other info
Since the hack is in a 10x10 space, if you want to 100% it, just make sure to fill out the entire 10x10 square on the minimap.
There are a few intentional places to skip progression, including a heat run that has been tested in all difficulties.
This hack was designed to be as speedrunnable as possible.

Screenshots
Known issues
Ship only shows up after you've left the starting room and return.
Hidden Energy Tanks and Missile Tanks do not share their sprite with the tileset, leading to have them just out the open when it was meant to be hidden.
