Burrrp!

Unheadered, its a mini hack of a race, requires walljumping (not singlewall).
Edit well i realized after a playthrough that there are like 2 bugs i found so fixed!
Thanks for playing and enjoying!

Edit2: Power thanks to squishy the timer now counts seconds!!!
Edit3: Super duper thanks to squishy the ending looks better!!!

Pretty fun actually, I was surprised. I think you should have made it more obvious that stop signs held the items, I didn't find spring ball the first time I played and had a tough time midair morphing into some tunnels. Other than that, it was quite fun and I liked how you added shortcuts for more skilled players to use. I only wish that there were some way to have the game count seconds and not only minutes because this sort of game really needs that.

Amusing. My first runthrough took me 7 minutes, which is pretty terrible, though I admit that once I realized the big smiley faces meant "advanced technique ahead!" I savestated until I got a tricky speedball.

Nice work!

This sounds like an ASM project for me. Since the game counts frames, seconds, minutes, and hours it shouldn't be to hard... Just gotta change which ones are displayed during the ending...

edit: took me like 3 mins XD
2 byte changes... but I made an .ips for you guys anyways

-counts in minutes and seconds

I suggest only using this for VERY short hacks like this one, and one room hacks

edit: forgot to mention it was unheadered ;D

Breathe in the Future, Breathe out the Past

This was a fun mini hack! I'd love to see a TAS of it done.
I'm not saying what my time was, I was.. experimenting.

Using squishy's patch, I got myself 4:34 using a few rewinds and slowdowns. Without them I'd probably have been around 5:30.

This was a really fun, short hack.
I beat it in 8:35, but I could probably do better if I tried again.
Infact, I might try again right now. Very Happy

8:53 on my first and most likely only playthrough. I didn't bother backtracking to use the more advanced paths, I just took whatever I stumbled into first. Was a pretty fun 9 minutes though, I really like the terrain and signs, but wasn't a huge fan of the backgrounds. I don't mean that they were bad, just not as cool. Any plans to make more of these? I thought it was pretty awesome.

Well I tried it again, using some save-states, and a better route, and I got exactly 5 minutes.
Again, I could probably improve this time alot... maybe later.

Burrrp!

Well this hack only took me about 2 weeks to make, i got pretty lazy with the backgrounds, i'm already starting to make a new tile set for a GP2.

Would it be possible to make a hack that made the game start with three valid savefiles, each of which was on a different course?

I don't think anyone knows how to do it, yet.

Really awesome hack! My time was 7:51 (no TAS, and taking the most obvious path) and 4:15 (with TAS).

I doubt your time is worse than my first playthrough, DMantra: 30 minutes (which was before Squishy's timer patch)

So far, my best time is 7 minutes and 21 seconds.... This is a really sweet hack that anyone can play. I like the enemies and all the signs, very cute. This is played regularly on the ZSNES and my PSP. Thank you and keep up the good work!! grin new

8:59, 18%

I really loved how you made Super Metroid into a ''Race'' game, very cool and original idea.

Is there more than one % level you can finish at? I don't even remember what my % was. My time sucked, 10 minutes or so. I played again and got it down to six something.

2009-07-29 12:51:43 am

Burrrp!

well 18% is what you're supposed to have (15% e-tanks, 3% morph,spring,speed)
you can expect some more tracks in the near future though, glad people enjoy, btw this is my first hack :)

What'd you say?

9:19 first try, i'll try and lowering it a bit.

Great idea and a fun way to spend 10 mins, thanks.
