Tallon Overworld

Tallon IV is fictional planet from the Metroid universe, featuring in the first entry of the Metroid Prime trilogy, and plays a vital role in the game's storyline.

After escaping the exploding Frigate Orpheon, with her suit downgraded to the bare-minimum Power Suit thanks to Ridley, Samus landed on Tallon IV after the Space Pirate frigate crash-landed there; here, Samus would learn of the downfall of the Chozo and the experiments carried out by the Space Pirates.

In M.U.G.E.N, Tallon IV has been made by ShinRyoga & Neo Ankh, and EXShadow, though the latter's version is known as Tallon Overworld, which is actually more precise, given the actual location.

ShinRyoga & Neo Ankh's Tallon IV
Despite the name of the stage relating to the entire planet, the stage actually takes place on the overworld of the planet. The fight takes place to the side of Samus' Gunship, with a single blast door visible and pouring rain swamping the battleground. ShinRyoga's thick outline art style is present on this stage, most prominently on Samus' Gunship.

Background music
The music used is the theme that plays during the fights with the Hive Mecha and the Incinerator Drone from Metroid Prime.



EXShadow's Tallon Overworld
At a very different perspective to ShinRyoga's version, EXShadow's has the battle much further away from Samus' Gunship and in front of it, rather than to the side of it. The stage gives a large view of Tallon's green, grassy overworld, fit with heavy rain, dim lighting and thunderstorms, though this does come at a price; with its rather hefty 92 MB sprite file and huge sprites, it can cause some serious lag on older machines, even more so than EXShadow's new Final Destination.

Background music
The default music used is essentially a toned-down version of the music that comes with ShinRyoga's Tallon IV, so the track is quieter overall, but the rain is much more prominent.



There is also an alternative music file included, which is the Tallon Overworld theme that plays after acquiring the Spider Ball upgrade, but with rain sound effects added to match the stage.
