Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!
I've been on the periphery for long enough, and decided to try my hand at a little hack.

It's just a complete reworking of the landing site, with a few small puzzles thrown in.

The idea of the hack was to get players to think before they move forward.  If you do this, then it's not too difficult to see what to do next.

Good luck, Samuses! Eh?

EDIT: For an unheadered ROM. Wink

EDIT 2: Just in case somebody wanted to modify / take a look, some other rooms were modified near the start of the game, but that was before I decided on the one room hack. Very Happy

Finished.

Congratulations on making one of the most precise jumps ever.

You should add more to this one room hack. Make getting to the door require at least 10 more challenges.

oh and lol @ lol

I don't think you were meant to jump that.

At least I didn't >_>

Are you referring to the last one, or the second bomb one?  If the former you'd be surprised to hear that it only took me about 5 minutes to create, as I tried obce or twice, and then got completely lucky on the angle for the spikes, so the rest was easy to build up around it. aiwebs_011

Also, when you say 'jump', were you actually trying to jump the last one? Shocked  There is a marker in the scenery hinting at what needs to be done.

Yes, I jumped the last one, it took over 9000 tries but I did it flawlessly in the end. I had a feeling that it was one of those take damage and fling yourself down situations but I got so close at times that I had to see if jumping it would work.

On that last jump with the spikes, I actually
Damage Boosted
and it shot me down perfectly.

Interesting one room.  You should really have added more to it though.  It was over so fast...

Quickly made fast run-through of the maze portion. (SNES9x 1.51)

Don't move when the movie ends for a graphics glitch.

Go ahead. Stare.
I hope damage boosting is necessary because jumping down that has proven to be impossible for me...

There is a clue in the scenery - something out of place.

Remember that the idea of the hack was to think about each obstacle before moving forward.  The most difficult move in this hack (as it was 'intended') is a double bomb-jump.

I'll upload a video later of how I planned the hack. Very Happy

Go ahead. Stare.
Shocked I was trying to speed jump down the spikes so I could speed-ball through those blocks... That little trick before bombs is easiest to jump off the block floating in the air and mid-air-morph, I was at the perfect height when I did it, but damaging off spikes works too.

Yes, that block does appear to be in exactly the right spot, doesn't it? Wink

EDIT: Here's a video of the 'intended' route through my hack.  Obviously, spoilers aplenty:

So I was supposed to damage boost off that block instead of jumping off of it... Makes sense since I couldn't complete the jump from that block. At least I got the mid-air-morph right! Very Happy

Not bad. Very Happy

It could be done a lot quicker, especially once you're through the bomb section.

I think you'll see in my video above that even my example route was a little quicker. aiwebs_011
