How do I create a Metroid type game?

So I'm looking in to making a Metroid type game and was wondering if there is a prototype someone created where I can download and tinker with such as swap art, characters, music, etc? Trying to learn this program, as I'm pretty new to it.

Thanks

There's an awesome looking game template on the Scirra store that's got everything you could want!

I also recommend googling "subtractive design metroidvania" to find a nice starting guide on how to begin your game.

Thanks for the link. I will def look in to it more. I just briefly glanced at it. I have layouts, sequencing, art constantly being worked on when I get the chance. I just need a programmer or try to find time to learn and do it. If I can't find a programmer, then I hope I can use that kit and just rework the levels with my stuff and get it to go. Of, course I imagine that layout will change since mine is different and different sequencing. Someday, I will get it on Steam or maybe more.

Thanks again.
