Well you can have 6 tanks and 2 reserves max when doing that run (I think). E-Tanks: 1 Kraid 2 Hi-Jump 3 Hi-Jump 4 Old x-ray room 5 Crocomire 6 Maridia upper room
Reserves: 1 Norfair 2 Maridia
It is possible to do with less, but having all of these will help you some.
You were probably a bit too late crossing. You need to turn Hi Jump Boots off and you need to jump off that green thing (forgot name) and quickly jump across. I've managed to do it dozens of times.
a few rooms after croco, i was searching for items and I found a pb block, but it seems it only leads to the entrance of the room. where's the norfair rtank?
Morph Ball maze room. That is the alternative exit, but only when you have Power bombs. Norfair Rtank is where it usually is, in the upper-left corner of that bubble room.
Thanks, well that brings me to a total of 9 etanks....how many do i need to travel comfortably through LN? Is spring ball gettable with just space jump
Well you could pick up one more Smissile-tank from the lower left corner of the morph ball maze, then you are all ready to go. There is one more pack in the room right to the Crateria pirate/escape shaft, but you would need ice beam or at least frame advance to get that one, so just forget it.
The only maze in this hack is in Norfair (well, maybe that in Crateria too, that WS -> Maridia one), that one in Maridia is not a maze, because you don´t have to navigate through it. How can you even think of that as a maze? So yeah, Norfair maze which you already have passed at least once, after Crocomire.
I looked forward to playing this hack in order to practice and get better for my run. Now I have to say I probably won't keep playing it =(
Don't think it's because it seems too hard to me, but my computer is the absolute worst I could have and I can't even play super metroid at a normal speed, everything goes in slow motion and it's too frustraing to even move, so if someone could help me play at regular speed it will be much appreciated.
