Well its time for another one room hack!  (Well sort of, theres 4 rooms...)

-Mockball
-Speedball
-Walljump
-IBJ
-Short Charge
(maybe more)

ITEMS: 25 in all

Will take any comments you have!  Please post if you find bugs.

It is April 1st... But why would I fake something like this?  That would just be cruel!  Come on!  I'm not Kejardon!  Trust me!

Almost happy
I completed it in 38 minutes by the clock. (probably 2 hours of playing) Very fun hack, some annoying parts though (basically everything in the lava) and some non obvious solutions here and there that annoyed. Also I have no idea of when I broke the hack and when I didn't... it's really non linear and no obvious paths once you are halfway in.

I beat ridley with
4 E-tanks, 15 supers 1 missile pack, grapple, X-ray, Charge, Ice, Wave, Plasma, Gravity suit, Springball, Speedbooster, 1 PB pack, Space jump, morphball and bombs. Possibly also something I forgot to mention

Played for like 5 minutes, got stuck. Then I played for like 10 minutes and got stuck again. Now I have given up.
Almost happy
That doesn't sound like you... getting stuck and all  : )

Also I got the first super the wrong way I'm quite sure, I was able to pick the one at the first missile pack from outside the wall with a spinjump after I got wavebeam.

How true.

Well that not good!  Fixed that in a heartbeat!  Beta 2 is up!
Is IBJ absolutely required?  I suck at it, so it's always been kind of a dealbreaker for me.  Mockball (provided adequate space to do it) and reasonably tricky walljumps are fine.
. . .
IBJ - Yes its required!
Mockball with adaquent space - is a few tiles adaquent? Eh... probablly not!
Walljump - mostly dodging hazards!
Almost happy
Is very short charges necessary? I used that a couple of times but the space was so short that it was just barely possible in realtime.

I would say the latter.  That part was designed to be really hard in realtime. 
Very short charge would only be an extra advantage to know!  Not a mandatory move, good timeing is all that is neccessary!
edit:
Thats not to say that short charge is not needed!  Short charge is very neccessary!
Methinks I'll take a pass on this one.
darn it, i can't finish it, cuz i can't mockball. =/
from what i HAVE played, this is a pretty solid hack, with lotsa cool moves to pull off.
(still, i wish the mockball wasn't required)
I found that the low ceiling made the mock ball easier to preform.

Anybody knows where i can find the varia suit and the charge beam?
Almost happy
Varia doesn't exist to my knowledge, only gravity. And charge beam... don't remember.
. . .
Sadly no Varia Suit... Its not needed anyways!

Charge Beam is hidden behind some descreet Speed Booster Blocks!
I Completed this hack with the same stats as Cpadolf.  Nice, fun, hack, although I think people's definitions of "challenging" are getting harder as time goes on.  I had to use quite a bit of save states on this one.

With the exception of Ridley.

The crumble blocks, to my amazement, made that battle pretty epic


I think if you make another hack, you should tone down the difficulty just a bit.  I'd say a good 75% of the people here wouldn't complete this hack due to difficulty.
. . .
Yeah, the only reason its so hard is because its a one room hack.

I myself would rather make easier hacks, with hard challenges for extra items like super missles, etc.

With Ridley I wanted to do something no one else has done!  I will be using that idea again in the future!


edit: If I can beat it, then I guess that I'm getting better after all!  Maybe I should take another swing at Impossible...

Do this plz. You'll be able to reach a wider audience. Are you working on a fullhack or a minihack or anything?
. . .
I wanted to wait alittle longer to release this but....

I've done a half hack = Rewind
a one room hack = Ridley's Challenge
planning on a full hack = Pantheon

I'm done with the blueprints and am currently testing all my ideas before any real progress will be made.  It'll be awhile before you hear anything concrete.

Random SMILE quirk : Setting a rooms FX2 pointer to C124 will make for explosions!  A few other ones will work as well such as... E5A0, E57C, E5A4, C120.  This is used in the Tourian escape sequence.

Where's the Plasma Beam?
. . .
Its well hidden!  You'll need to SB to get it, I'd get the X-Ray if I were you!

X-Ray is near the top...

I have the X-Ray, but i still can't find it, i need help for find the beam

Trained by Cpadolf. Mission: To Perfect.
Um, was I supposed to get the super missles in the left corner blocked by a super missle block right after getting bombs?
Or is this early? -.- Just get underneath the SM block, shoot the hidden supers, and turn around..


Early supers?

Edit: I don't think this was intentional as Ridley suitless isn't fun =\
Edit2: Completed with same as Cpadolf but 1 less tank.. (ownt)

I didn't think it was over after Ridley, so I held the fast-foward button through the tubes for like 5 minutes.. -.-

Early Supers again!  Ok, ok, I know what I need to do... *fix fix fix* done!  This should be the last update!  Lets slap a big FINAL on it!
