Im going to hopfully have kraids hideout done this wekend as for spore spawn you know those 3 rooms in kraids hideout from metroid 1 that dont really serve any purpose? (they put a zip line activator and a acid worm mini boss there in zm) ill probably put spore spawn there and put in a major item as a reward for beating him crocomire will have a home in upper norfair i havent figured that out yet but he will be in the game!

Time bomb set get out fast!

These recreations are impressive, tbolt. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Have you been checking if the rooms actually play properly, or are you just designing them?

Yes actually i have been testing all the rooms and checking the doors to make sure everything works properly. I probably will have to do some minor adjustments to the rooms but so far everything works ok.

All right then since you all wanted it. Spore spawn and crocomire WILL be in my game. I have a good idea of where Im going to put spore spawn and if anyones got sugestions of where to put crocomire let me know

What'd you say?

I checked out the map of the original and I couldn't find a good place for Crocomire but I did come up with one: The room right before the elevator to Ridley's hideout (two vertical screens with two doors on the right) Change it to: to vertical screens with a door on the right at the top and a door on the floor at the bottom and have that attach to Crocmire's room. As for the elevator room: I'm not sure if it's possible to move Crocmire's other door so just flip the elevator room to attach onto the left side of Crocomire's room. That's my best suggestion.

Sorrry if this was confusing.

thats a prety good idea and as for the door i could probably just crack open the hex editor and just add another door. now that I got the hang of it

You could but then wouldn't that make Crocomire skipable?

Nope because crocomire must break down the wall in order for you to continue on to the elevator room to ridley what i plan to do is put crocomires room just before the purple shaft to ridley elevator room saves me the trouble of redoing a room

Wow, I'm an idiot not to remember that lol, Good luck with it though. Also, for Kraid, are you going to use mini-kraid or (the less accurate to the original) Kraid? I think it would be insane to fight a super hard mini-kraid. extra_smug

Ohhh no!! grin new

the original kraid room is just for nostalgia purposes because you cannnot get to kraid by going into his room from the left. so the original krais room will have a mini kraid just for laughs the real kraid will be elsewher in his hideout. and it will be (Godzilla) kriad you fight.

Or if you put the crocmire room nearly the area where you get wave beam?
like here (some minimal changes)

red circle: modifies this room setting a blue door marked in the ground
orange: represents a possible crocmire location and fill with gray doors in the original vertical room, until defeated this miniboss you can get the wave beam...

Merry Christmas

Question, would kraid be facing the left or right?

Tyjet66

What'd you say?

Mini-kraid can switch back and forth (original nes kraid) and kraid (godzilla) can only face left. If you hack Super metroid to go into kraids room from the right side I believe it just crashes the game.

I am really looking forward to this. It sounds great.

I am in the "no demo" camp though. I like waiting for the finished product.

I couldn't agree more, I think demos detract from the final product.

Kraid (godzilla) will be approached from the left just as in sm and a few more rooms and kraids hideout will be complete then its on to norfair and if anyone remembers I experimented with creating a couple of new rooms i plan to use them as secret areas that will be should we say very rewarding.
