How did you guys get the tank 
I looked around for about half an hour and then left. And did anyone else laugh at the name Melfat?
So I should go back to WS through the old entrance to the right of my ship?

Has anyone tried to get back into Eldridge? If you machball into that room - the door at the end is gray, and some of the dust graphics and the outer edges of the bombs, even the explosions are red.
I'm sure I have your latest revision DMantra.
I guess I should mention or ask... That one room that looses the music then freezes up when you leave... I had that problem. Was that supposed to be fixed too? :?

I think the explosions are red because of the fx1 palette blend i gave it.
About the game freeze, that was fixed. Are you talking about the gauntlet route to western juolbrin?
you can tell it's fixed if those rooms have fog now.

In the middle of the room, there are two platforms. They are positioned like this:
______
______
What I did was run from the right end of the room, jump up to the lower platform and do a speed mockball on it, then immediately spring jump to the second platform, then spring jump of off that platform, through the speed blocks, and to the tank.

Once I get to Ridley, should I fight him right away, or should I leave out the back door and go get more stuff?
Otherwise put, can I get anything by going that way that will make the fight any easier, or should I just keep getting my ass kicked until I can finally somehow prevail?

I had to slow the game down to beat ridley in this hack. He pwned me like 20 times, but died the first time I slowed it to 1/2 speed. That was the first time I used that SNES feature. Pretty weird, I feel like a cheat

Yes, "the gauntlet". And there wasn't any fog. edit:or was there...?
Uhm... When I repatched I did so over the previous patched rom of cliffhanger. Would it be best to just patch a fresh rom? ....Then again. Why not find out myself -instead of asking.
I'll try again, then edit this post. :)
It's good. No problems.
I was backtracking from tourian looking for space jump, and thought I'd circle back to the landing site using the maws. The room above the entrance to the tourian (the one with the shot blocks and the speedbooster blocks) has the same no sound freeze-when-ya-try-to-leave bug when you enter it from the left hand side.
Edit: Oh, and I'm playing the easy version.
Second Edit: Wait, maybe this was already known, but I thought I downloaded the latest patch since that post...
Third Edit: 7:37, 61%, Easy, I didn't check to see if I found all the lore. Escape was fun, but I had to play it a couple of times. Killing invisible enemies was sorta weird, I managed to not hit both of them on my first shine I guess? Overall this was a lot of fun. I got stuck a lot more than I should have, I think this was because I started and stopped play so much. I kept forgetting where dead ends were and what I needed when I returned.

Melfad. You can see his room on the map. Getting there requires some exploring, which is luckily aided.
Sometimes it's hard to get responses this late, here's DMantra's response when I asked him, but if you are really stuck here:
All that sand goes somewhere, x-ray around.
Yeah, I just went and picked up X ray. Thanks.
EDIT: Now that I did that, I need space jump... -_-
And I REALLY don't feel like trudging all the way through the rest of the game to find it.

hint:
the old tourian shaft is similar to the one in the original game
Found a couple more upgrades, most importantly the Space Jump and X-Ray Scope.
...Said X-Ray Scope hasn't been able to help me find a way back into the upper half of Eldridge or any way towards the Varia though :P.
*Wonders if I'm the only one clueless as to where I'm supposed to go in Eldridge to reach the Varia...or for that matter, is the only person who skipped it*

Anyone feel like writing out a quick little step-by-step advancement guide to the original version for me? 
I'd be your friend forever! Seriously though, I've gotten totally stuck after the last two things I've done and I've got so little time to play, I'd rather use what time I get to progress in the game then run around hoping to stumble on a little thing I missed. :| ATM I'm running around the landing site and Joulbrin with ten missiles and the grapple beam. Meh. So freakin slow.
For those of you trying to get back to the upper half of Eldridge, forget it. If you have blue rooms left on your map, too bad, you can't return there. Don't worry about having missed the items there. If that's the case, the items will appear later in the game. If you happen to get them before entering the rest of the ship, congrats, you got a few early tanks.
You do not need to revisit upper Eldridge to get 100%.

Almost happy
Do you fight ridley suitless in this hack?
Anyway, can somebody please tell me where I am supposed to go after plasma and sprinball, I was told to go back to WS in order to reach LN but I don't know where to go to get back to WS. Seriously I don't want a hint I just want to know pretty much exactly where to go, otherwise I will probably leave this unfinished.

Ridley:
No, you don't have to fight suitless.
Path:
Go back to norfair, take the door above the elevator, follow the rooms to the right
Quote from DonnyDonovan:
I just want to say that Ridley is pure evil in this hack, the worst I've encountered, which up until now was Limit Ridley. I can get him pretty red, and I'll get him eventually, but wow. I'm trying not to use slowdown as I haven't yet (yes I'm playing easy).
Try Impossible Ridley next
