This is pretty interesting so far :)

That has to be the earliest I've ever picked up the screw attack XD

Almost happy

Where is speedbooster?

I just defeated draygon

Pretty nice hack so far, not that much different from the original but still a lot of fun. I think I must have missed a E-tank before LN though, because it was barely possible to survive (and considering that the rest of the hack has not been _that_ hard I felt like LN should have been a little easier than it was).

You'll get speedbooster before you fight kraid.

If you find a secret, it isn't too hard. Search harder.

You should be able to find about half of all the e-tanks before you enter the LN.

Oh, forgot about the back door to WS. And I think I had 4 or 5 E-tanks when I went to LN.

Anyway, cleartime 01:33, 50%. Kraid was weird...

For headered or unheadered? Not that I'll be playing anytime soon, I'm leaving town all weekend, and when I get back I still have to finish Cliffhanger. Finally beat Ridley though (not to get too off-topic).

I'm not sure how to increase kraid's hp so I had to...

fill the entire room with spike and make nail and claw super deadly just to make it harder.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the way to increase Kraid's hp. To increase kraid's hp with smile, you will have to put the enemy code instead of finding one on the list (you can get this code from enemy allowed list) and edit the hp.

It's unheadered. Just simply patch and play.

In case you didn't know, I have made some major update including fixing glitches and adding more stuff. The update is in the same link where you download the patch.

I hope this is final. If you still find any bug, please let me know.

Could you make it a SNES file? It dosen't work on a ZSNES.

Have you tried to patch them? The file itself is not a game but to be patch with.

What'd you say?

Very nice hack so far, the trap by the bomb chozo statue was devilishly tricky Evil or Very Mad

, after screw attack and the first missle are you supposed to go through the gauntlet? Cuz i've died there twice already and forgot savestates (don't laugh at me :x)

You are supposed to go halfway through the gauntlet (that's as far as you get anyway).

This is indeed interesting so far, although there's a lot of suitless heat, of which I am not a fan.

How do you patch something onto another game file? I'm a total N00B at Emulators.

Search for Lunar IPS (LIPS) on Google and use it with the patch you want. When it asks you for which file you want to patch, select a clean Super Metroid ROM.

Mind sharing how/where? I was proud of myself for just getting to Ridley. LN is very tough. Ridley is too hard because you literally can't get hit when you fight him suitless or you're pretty much toast. I assumed it was where the pb's were in the original right before the pirates, but no such luck.

You cannot find power bomb before you fight ridley. You can find the first PB in Maridia which after you beat ridley. Fighting ridley without suit is optional for people who want more challenge. For someone who isn't really that skilled can find varia suit somewhere hidden (maybe ceiling or even on floor) before you fight ridley. I suggest you to search harder.

I was very surprised. The hidden varia suit was really that deep that most of you couldn't find it?

The Varia suit is located right before you enter Ridley's lair. It located between the door to Ridley's lair and energy refill station.

I know that. I meant in the spot where PB's were. It's something else now.

Thanks for the spoiler. I never thought to think THAT outside the box. I wish I had caught that. Since item locations seem mostly unchanged, I never even thought of that. I won't have a problem now.

How come I don't find the suit? Am I looking in the right place

I'm looking in the room with the big Ridley Stone Head and half of the room is filled with lava

That's the wrong room. He means the room right before Ridley's lair, after the ninja pirates. You have to go through a good portion of LN suitless. It's still no picnic, but he spaces energy refills and tanks so that it's quite possible even for players of average skill. Be sure you have all the tanks you can have to this point though. I think it's six plus two reserves.

You can't get any of them until after you beat Draygon. Have you tried your grappling beam? That's your prime key. There are hidden grappling spot in Maridia that is not visible. Also, did you get the spring ball? That's an another key for Maridia.

Thanks!

I think I've grappled the whole planet by now but this makes it a bit easier. I hope you not mean invisible like in the air-invisible

It's not on air, of course. It just that there is a grappling point in some solid objects that you thought it was something else.
