This is my new addition to the category of one room hacks.  Thanks to DMantra for his inspiring 'One Room Hack'.

The hack ends - and you win - once you find the X-ray Scope.

I think my hack is essentially finished, but of course I don't try things that I don't think to try - so that's where I need your help.  In particular, are any items skip-able? e.g. I'm pretty sure you could skip High Jump using IBJ.  Since this is still a beta, be sure to use plenty of save-states.
EDIT: This hack is finished.  Only major bugs will be fixed at this point.  Thanks to everyone who helped me test!

Skills needed:
-mid-air morph or IBJ
-single-wall wall jump or IBJ
-mock ball
-speed mockball
-crouch-jump for extra height
-easy short charge
(let me know if I missed any)

Total items: 19

Other notes:
-The boulders are insta-death (Do not touch! Unless...)
-There are hidden crumbling grapple blocks, but their presence is always hinted at.
-Most items look like other items.  This is caused by having too many items in one room.
-You can refill your energy and items at the "save station" you start at.  Enter it just as you would Samus' ship.  (It actually is the ship.)

Thanks for playing!

Breathe in the Future, Breathe out the Past
Fun hack so far  :)

Having trouble finding health to do more shinesparking. Please don't tell me what you have is what you get.

I've noticed one place that's easy to get stuck if you don't get bombs, but its no big deal unless you're the type of player that saves before thinking. See picture below.

You know whats really funny? After reading Dmantra's post, I still got stuck there.

It looked good, but I agree with Dmantra. There needs to be more energy for a certain shinespark. Also, I got charge beam early (i think).

nice hack so far. and it's possile to get unstuck, just watch my smv. note that it is on the new Snes9x v1.51 (choose one of the bottom 2) that says it gets rid of desync's. I haven't ran it problems yet, so it's working.

awesome hack, got everything... i guess

i was stuck at the beggining before getting the morph ball, that was hard...

but i did finish it without the

spring ball  Rolling Eyes kinda useless if you are master of midair morph hehe


also i was clueless why you added the

Screw attack, unless i missed on what to use it  :-s


btw, did you... hide the upgrades with other stuff or its just a item glitch that i see stuff like morph and such as plasma beams? xd

Is this the whole item set in this game?

-Charge
-Ice
-Wave
-Plasma
-Gravity suit
-Morph ball
-Bombs
-Spring ball
-Screw attack
-Hi jump
-Space jump
-Speed booster
-5 Missiles
-10 Super missiles
-5 Power bombs
-Grapple
-X Ray


if it is, i think i just 100%'d this game ^^

very awesome hack, liked it

Thanks for your quick input, guys/gals!  It looks like there's a little bit more work for me to do.

There's an E-Tank that I think many of you are missing.  You should get it
after Ice but before Plasma

Fixed.

Yikes!  That should be one of the last items.  How did you do it?

That's not too surprising.  It's supposed to make
Speed Booster

a lot easier.

There's a definite use for this.  How did you get
power bombs without it?

It's a glitch that happens when there are too many items in one room.  Consider it a feature...

All but that mystery E-Tank.  How did you get

That could be solved with a certain jump

DMantra, you're supposed to get
Power Bombs next.  You'll be able to get Ice after Super Missiles.


Also, you can resupply at the starting point (the ship is still there, it's just invisible).

Thanks for the find, but I think you can escape by a combination of jumping and morphing.  If fixed it anyway.

Here's early charge. However, I do believe I am stuck at the end of the smv.

I can't believe how early its possible for it being a later item. All you need is:

Morphball
Bombs
Grapple
Speedbooster

You didn't attach the smv.

Wow, that's weird.  Good find, Cardweaver!  Now I have to try and fix it...

2008-03-05 06:24:15 pm
err, i think i got the charge early too,
shinesparked into it
, also, forgot i got that extra E tank xd so that means i got all?

Beta 2 is up.  See the first post.

Hopefully you can no longer shinespark to the Charge Beam (but I'm not good with tricky shinesparking, so it might still be possible).

I also fixed a few places where you can get stuck.

Is it possible to get
Plasma without the extra E-Tank?

It's not supposed to be.

That's strange.  I didn't change that area.  Can you be more specific about where you're stuck?  Can you get out of the "room" that holds the screw attack itself?  The normal exit from the region is hidden, but I assume you found the way last time?

i did find it the last time, but now it seems blocked... ill check later both hacks to be sure

I seem to have everything but the x-ray scope.  And I know where it is.  And I know how to get it.

But I'm missing something, because there seems to be a missile gate blocking my path and I'm on the wrong side of it.  I've done everything else but this has me a tad stumped.

The design of this hack uses nuances as hints. You're suppose to be on the wrong side of the gate, but you're in the right area.
