I like Big Butts and I can not lie

Man, you have done ALOT
you made it so you can start spining in midair
you made it almost impossible to turn around in the air
you took out wall jumping (pretty much)
and you made me get stuck after the 2nd missle pack

For future reference I'd appreciate EVERYTHING revealing about the hac, to be hidden by a spoiler highlight. thank you =)

and the crateria map station shows you where you need to go.

I think I'm stuck, is it a bug?

I also couldn't find the bombs. I got the Walljump boots, explored everything in Brinstar (I couldn't take the item above Spore Spawn which probably required this bombs), returned to Crateria again, went to the very right side of the Map (with the 2 big rooms (there is a Azid room in the near) and realized I can't return anymore (can't jump up in the big room as there are no platforms as far as I could see.

Any help?

It's just the most evil thing ever.

Acid room. Do something with the weird graphic thing. Also called "Reflector"

;-)

Played the hack almost the entire morning:

1)First thought when playing with the ney physics:DAMN,Samus falls fast..The physics are more different than imagined.
2)green Crateria is awesome. Also probably the only "bad" thing I noticed so far though: The sky isn't moving :(
3)Mockball is in the hack! But it seems different... I don't know why >_>
4)Wall jump boots + this hack seems anti-SB-designed. You can't walljump from walls where it would lead to useful things,can you? I thought them to be cool anyway.
5)WHERE ARE THE BOMBS???Used savestates in the acid room and tried to get through the acid. Failed obviously. Only place where I used savestates though.
6)I like the different missiles per pack.
7)The level design kicks ass.
8)Kraid's dead woot. Now...I want a new item! Where is it?!
9)Cool,finally found a entrance to Norfair. Too bad I don't have the Varia.
10)Bomb Torizo was cool.
Have been able to do a "double-double bomb jump". Not sure how to IBJ works(if it's possible)
The game is quite challenging->died quite often. It's also great.

Thanks,

I already found the azid trick :)

!

Stucking again:

Defeated Kraid moved around in Red Brinstar but also can't find the Varia Suit to go to Norfair and can't return where I came from again (no singe walljump possible). WHERE IS THE VARIA???

Great Hack and very beautiful level-design so far!

You'll find single wall jump is possible
it's alot like underwater wall jumping

This hack is totally mad! Level design is just wonderful. Noticed many cool new things. Very solid so far.

The only thing that bothers me is that none of the ZSNES versions I have (specifically, the WIPs from 24.07.2005 and 08.03.2006) recognise the patched ROM. They all say that checksum fails (Snes9x works well, but I don't like it, honestly).

Just killed the Spore Spawn (which seemed much easier than the original one... maybe because I could sit in the corner while shooting the spores safely). Question for those who already got used to the new physics:

is it really possible to walljump in places other than those specified?

Also guys, could you release a special version with slightly faster room transitions? :) While watching JXQ's Super Metroid 100% TAS, I realised that some of them lasted longer than actual running through the rooms themselves, which is kinda boring in the long run.
This game will surely be TASed some day, and having that option at hand will be truly useful (not sure if it will in the conventional playthrough, but who knows).

Everyone loves reading the Readme!

"IF a wall is rocky and has a gripping surface then Samus will be able to wall jump off of it. However if the wall is a smooth pipe, or an algae covered seawall, then Samus won't be able to get ANY grip to jump from."

Stuck at the same place as Saturn.

Edit: Liek Secret World 1 :-D (?)

One room in red Brinstar is linked with a energy/missile refill station. If you go down that room (through a pipe),you'll land in one of these water-filled red Brinstar room. If you unmorph in the pipe before the room transition occurs,you'll land in t3h SW.
Edit: Not able to repeat it >_>

Heh. I'm stuck at the place you guys are :P

Loving it so far, although lack of progress is becoming a little annoying.

I like Big Butts and I can not lie

ok I think I got

ice-beam

early

I couldn't find a way out of red brinstar so I went down the elavator to norfair, I saw the rooms were super heated so I thought maybe there's something here, so I got to the 1st place with the crumble blocks and refilled there, then I managed to get to the save room and again refill, eventually I got to a chozo statue thinking ~please let this be spring ball...or something~ when I saw it was "ice beam" I thought ~o well, it might be useful~

and thats my story

btw did I get it early

2006-05-07 02:19:04 pm

BWAHAHAHAHA, its perfect, because EVERYONE has been stuck on my course through the hack, no you did not get it early

AssA

2006-05-07 02:39:54 pm

<3 P.Jboy :)

That never even crossed my mind Embarassed

Even so, it's almost stupidly unforgiving.

That Ice beam quest was ridiculously hard to do on the keyboard, I wasted about 50 minutes on it alone. DrewSeph, this is getting more and more amazing with every minute. :)

Wow...just wow. The production quality of this hack is so high that it could easily pass as a commercially produced game. Hats off to everyone who made it possible.

WOO! Just got the Varia.

2006-05-07 04:28:21 pm

thank you, I did all of the level design in the game, and my god was it painstaking. Kejardon did a majority of the coding for new abilities, plms and other cool effects. MathOnNapkins and Jathys helped contribute other important pieces of code to make the hack possible

I like Big Butts and I can not lie

I still cn't beleive how much you can change the game
but I still don't understand...how did you get the bomb meter, it' be funny if you had bomb power ups

Sigfriedxx

2006-05-07 05:13:55 pm

Kejardon made the counter

This is getting emberrassing. I've obtained the Varia suit but I don't see where to go next ;\

Lol, I guess this happens every time you get a new item.

2006-05-07 06:02:43 pm

Guess so.

I found out where to go, though. Pretty well hidden through clever design.

Sigfriedxx

2006-05-07 07:02:18 pm

... if you got Varia suit, wouldn't the logical thing be to go into norfair?
