D: This readme included all of tips. The knowledge required by this ROM hack is very abundant, almost all I know is included. This hack is sometimes harder than SM Impossible or SM Glitchtroid. I recommend reading the common tips before playing. Let you play this game with purpose. More detailed information is written in the Japanese text, if you can read Japanese with automatic translation etc. This hack is what I started to make in 2013. However, the cost of this production is about half a year. ● Serious Changes 1. Samus can speed boost/gain blue suit in heated areas wthout being removed. 2. Enemy qualities are very different from the original game. 3. Missile station can refill all ammo. 4. Dropped items refill Samus much more. 5. Samus can't equip Spazer and Plasma Beam at the same time. 6. GT code is removed. 7. (Only true in Super Mild) Samus can CF regardless of Reserve Tank being filled or not. ● Known Issue 1. There are spikes that can be grappled, but those have no connection to the gimmicks of the hack. Older versions have the risk of getting stuck due to it. (2 & 3 will not happen again, I hope.) 2. If the super missile display has 3 digits at the moment of fire, never refill it until you save & reset. The game will crash. Heavy overlap processing seems to cause it. 3. Gates may not react in a specific room. ● Common tips 1. Diagonal aiming is necessary, and moonwalk is recommended 2.　In most cases, you don't have to try again in the room you broke through 3. The decorated metal gate will open when other gate or something similar is unlocked. It will often be near or over that door. 4. Do not forget your experience that you got through this hack. 5. Almost enemies have some weaknesses. Some of them are only beaten by it. The beams you are equiping will change attribute of your beams. 6. The graphics may have some marks, if something is hidden. But it isn't all. ● Reference pages ・SuperMetroid SpeedRunning WIKI https://wiki.supermetroid.run/Main_Page ・Strategy Videos https://crocomi.re/ ・TASVideos Game Resources http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/SNES/SuperMetroid.html ・Author's sites and videos http://hotarubita.blog.fc2.com/ (Japanese) https://www.youtube.com/user/yayu50/videos https://www.twitch.tv/hotarubi_ta/ ・demo playthorough https://www.twitch.tv/videos/461893128 ・simple tas (All Item) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/471578404 Japanese ・nintendon (already closed) https://web.archive.org/web/20100811031628/http://sukamax.hp.infoseek.co.jp/ ・Super Metroid Hack WIKI https://smethack.f5.si/ ・Super Metroid Lab https://www9.atwiki.jp/catnap222/ ● Rating for collecting items max % is 101. and 1 % per 1 item. details E tank : 29 x 50 R tank : 2 x 25 Missile : 28 x 5 Super : 15 x 2 P bomb : 10 x 3 Others : 16 Secret : 1 I will take 4 hours (igt 3:00) to end this hack with all item. ● Number of energy-tanks that you can take before facing bosses.
