| {{super:smtitlescreen.png | 'Super Metroid' title screen}} Super Metroid is the third game in the Metroid series, released for the SNES in 1994. Currently, it is the most widely-hacked Metroid game, and has the most resources available to help hackers. All information here relates to the specific unheaderedROM: “Super Metroid (JU) [!].smc”, which should be 3,145,728 bytes in size and have CRC D63ED5F8, sha1sum DA957F0D63D14CB441D215462904C4FA8519C613, and md5sum 21f3e98df4780ee1c667b84e57d88675; if your rom has a different checksum, then it is not a clean unheadered vanilla ROM, and you should try to acquire a new one. If you do not know how to verify your ROM's checksum, try opening the ROM in snes9x or use something like [[http://quickhash-gui.org/|QuickHash]] or [[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11533|Microsoft's Checksum Tool]].
