If you mean the pointer for the enemy tiles, you probably want this (for example, this is for Skrees):

Isn't that for Super Metroid though? This is the Metroid 1 board.

Welp, I deserve that for clicking straight from the link in IRC.  :blush:
In other news, this probably serves as a good reminder that when asking questions they should be posted in the Engine Works (which, conveniently, I have moved it to), and the game should be specified in the subject (though I won't fault you for this because you did post it in the M1 board).

What are you trying to do exactly?  Are you looking for the tiles so you can edit them, if so I can probably help you figure that out.  If it's something fancy with the game engine then you'll have to consult the disassembly or go on the metroid construction chat and hit up Snarfblam for some advice.
