There's another forum that I frequent and there's a thread where people post confirmatory pictures of themselves to prove that they're male or female. Generally it's just them holding a piece of paper with a username, a specified message, or something similar. Do we need something akin to that here?
I had an interesting idea... in addition to the main items which count towards your 100%, there should be extra items (and areas) hidden throughout the game which don't count towards 100% but can still be picked up for extra credit. To not be confused with just putting in more items like in other hacks, these "Extra Credit" items would be unique in some way, and in addition there would be two different "item percentage factors". "Extra Credit" items would be fewer in number, but worth more and harder to find, and you could get 100% without getting all of the "Main" items. However, you could easily just get 100% using an existing route.
What kinds of stuff I intend to use as "Extra Credit", I don't have very many ideas, but I don't think just putting in a few more missile expansions would be a good idea. Like I said above each "Extra Credit" item has to be unique and serve a specific purpose. Examples (none of these could be considered "Final"): - Missile Combos: These would have to be collected, but would each have their own uses. - "Level II" items: Certain items in the game would have difficult to find "Level II" versions, which usually require the original item to obtain. These Level II upgrades could have all manor of tiny improvements over their "Level II" counterparts, such as being able to emulate a Walljump with a Level II Springball, or moving faster underwater than on land with a Level II Gravity Suit. The possibilities are endless, but these may be scrapped if they don't fit in.
