How i can pass this obstacle?

This is not required to beat this hack. In fact, I don't really know how to pass this stuff.

I just got past this finally....woah... (referring to pic #1)

EDIT: I just beat this hack. 5:09, 77%

PRAISE: This hack had some nice surprises, especially in terms of item location. I enjoyed being faked-out more than a few times. The difficulty level was good - not too easy and not too hard.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: There was definitely a lack of overall polish. The game froze on me more than once. Some areas seem to have gotten a lot less attention than others, almost as if you were in a hurry to release it and became impatient. The doors which required more than 5 missiles should have a unique color in my opinion.

OVERALL: I did enjoy this hack alot, many half-hacks I gave up on for lack of interest but this one kept me going. You say that this is your first hack, and I hope it is not your last. I hope that this has been mostly a learning experience for you and that you have bigger/better ones planned, because I see major potential. In other words: I want more ! Thanks, will definitely play this one again.

I just beat this with 76% in 3:18. Pretty nice hack, but kinda boring near the end. Maybe it's just cuz I've played Maridia suitless SO many times.

One-word posts after a bunch of quotes is pushing the rules a bit dudeoffsky. I appreciate the sentiment though.

I'm stuck in norfair when I'm supposed to opena 25-missile door, but I only have 20 missiles... Am I missing a pack?

I had exactly 25 missiles when I got to that door, you must have missed one of them.

there's one in a pipe in green Brinstar. I know that's the one I missed.

sonic shadow

2008-08-30 02:02:55 pm

Well, I got the first one, Spore Spawn's one, brintar pipe's one, and Kraid's one. I need one more pack =/

Opium

2008-08-30 02:22:34 pm

What about the one in blue brinstar to the right of the first one? i cant remember if its still there in this hack....

sonic shadow

2008-08-30 02:41:18 pm

No, A SM door blocks it.
Anyway I found it, it was the one near crateria's save point, I am used to ignore that place.

OMEGA BUMP

Found this in the list of hacks and am playing through it now. Currently at Phantoon.

Mostly I just wanted to point out that you can make it up to the top of the pink Brinstar shaft as soon as you reach it. All you need is hi-jump boots. A very carefully-placed walljump will give you enough time to shoot out the shotblock and then rise up through it. You have to press away from the wall for several frames before doing the jump so you get over far enough, and you may need to do the aim-down trick to get more height on your jump and slip over the edge. Or I suppose you could midair-morph and bomb your way through.

Anyway, early powerbombs haven't really changed much so far (not that I've checked all of the orange doors available to me yet)...I got into the Wrecked Ship through the backdoor, though, so I haven't even seen the WS lake yet. Running around with only 1 E-tank and 2 super missiles gets old fast, though.

I totally forgot about this hack. It been around a year since I played this.

Anyway, should that being moved to "Hacks and Fan Games - Now Playing" since it finished?

I don't see how anyone can get penalized for bumping a hack help/release thread.

Anyway, finished in 2:12 with 66%. Really the most annoying bits were pre-LN, where you spend a lot of time running around with basically no health and very stingy ammo. The beam weapons have a drastically reduced firing rate, too, which I didn't particularly enjoy.

Lower Norfair itself was moderately straightforward since you get spacejump and screw attack; Ridley killed me a few times but eventually gave in. Climbing Maridia suitless was tedious, but not particularly difficult (assuming you know what to do). I killed Draygon straight-up without having to dip into my reserve tanks (though I admit I was running low on ammo). After that, I grabbed the Plasma beam and checked out the springball room out of curiosity, then muscled through Tourian and won.

I think there's a lot of room in Super Metroid for drastically different item orders; however, it'd be nice if they didn't all involve lots of suitless runs and holding back on resources. Really my biggest peeve, though, is that you can get all the way to the snail room in Maridia before discovering that you need the Wave Beam to continue.

Wow. I totally forgot about this too. For a second I thought maybe there was a hack out there I hadn't played, but then I saw I posted a couple comments/questions earlier in the thread. For some reason, however, I didn't finish this one. Either I got bored, frustrated, stuck, or some combination of all three. Maybe I'll fire it back up. I still need to finish Eris though, so probably not.

Opium

I played through it when it was new, but the suitless heat part early in the game often required you to enter and re-enter the same room over and over and kill a geemer or waver to very gradually refill your energy. That pretty much destroyed the replay value for me. Someone should add a gammet(?) nest or two in that area to assist in energy refills.

Derakon

2009-08-29 03:18:34 pm

Er...I don't remember having any problems with heat. You can get Varia right after killing Kraid, though the jumps involved are a pain and a half. The only energy-drain section I had to deal with was the LN entry, which cost about 450 energy and several savestates.

Now I'm doubting myself and thinking that I must be recalling a different hack.

Maybe you played my RBO insane or impossible hack, which involves suitless heat, or was it Saturn's SM impossible?

Derakon

2009-08-29 11:36:35 pm

The route to Varia in this hack is

the upper-right door in the landing site. You have to very carefully spacejump up a spike-lined cooridor to reach the door, then there's a mini-kraid inside along with the walking dragon enemies.

Sound familiar?

Opium

2009-08-29 11:57:24 pm

I'm actually thinking of one with rising lava to the southwest of the wave beam room.

Derakon

2009-08-30 12:04:39 am

Oh yeah, that's a pain, but all that's back there IIRC is an E-tank and Spazer (where speed booster usually is). I didn't go there until right before the LN run, at which point I had enough health to just take a lava bath for awhile.
