Description
This is a Super Metroid hack by[GuduJimoYigeren]from China, released at June 1, 2018
===================================
This is a finding-items hack, all the items is hidden in a different location in the room where have items originally, and not easy to find it out!
It can be 100% collection!
Here is the readme from the author (translated by Google and me :^_^:)

--------------------------
This Hack is my first hack, the map has not changed basically, only a few rooms have been modified, all the items are not on the surface, all are hidden. Please forgive me if I do not do well.
This Hack note: After get the first missile, you must leave immediately, otherwise it will stuck, and the bomb should be taken quickly, otherwise it will be stuck by brick.

PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS HACK. AND RENAME ".thing" TO ".zip"
edit 2021: it used to be .thing due to forum issues but it got fixed lol
You will not finish this hack if you go into it completely blind. I am almost completely sure that it is impossible to do in a blind setting before giving up because it is absolute bullshit.
This hack deceives you at the beginning and makes you think it's a cute little hack with the items all changed around and stuff. Cool, right?
As a concept, yes.
In practice...no. The creator being absolutely mentally insane and totally evil does not help with this.
A part of the description reads "only a few rooms have been modified" but more rooms than not, I found that it was altered a lot, especially in the case of some Norfair rooms. They do not look good. I am aware that this is the creator's first (and hopefully last)hack that they've made, but that is not an excuse for this hack at all.
Both X-Ray Scope and Wave Beam are insanely difficult to find (two major items that help with finding an actual item's location)and without using SMILE I guarantee you will not find them ever or without many hours of searching. So those ways of finding items are out of your reach, basically.
Trying to find items to progress is super frustrating and confusing as almost every single item has been changed, along with being hidden. Varia is no longer in its normal location. Gravity Suit is not. X-Ray Scope, Wave Beam, Ice Beam, Power Bombs, all of them are not. You'll find yourself wandering around for hours hitting EVERY single block with the Grappling Beam or bombing it, to no avail until you find a single missile pack and you keep going to hopefully get something better...which you won't.
There are blockades everywhere, mainly being these three: Speed Booster blocks, Power Bomb blocks, and crumbling Grapple blocks. The former two are considerably easier to search for than the last one as Grapple is finicky and is just bad overall. Another downside of crumble Grapple blocks is that they do not show up when they are bombed. They stay as their normal tile in the tileset. You have to attack every tile over and over again to try to find said block, and if you're lucky after ten minutes you **might** find it. Probably not.
Some rooms are filled with the item that you're looking for which makes it absolute hell to try and find it when you're being bombarded with the same block for so much space. It hurts.
I haven't mentioned fake items yet, either. There are some items that you'll find in their vanilla locations that are actually bomb/crumble blocks and some of them are even full damage spikes. The game punishes you for not looking around (a weak complaint but can help you avoid them).
My last complaint out of many is how misleading it can be. There are certain occasions where you are blocked by some gate, for example, and it looks like you can't go beyond it.
Sometimes, you can go beyond it with your current equipment and that is exactly what the creator expects with a certain early-game item that is 100% required to progress. What's the chance that you'll give up before finding it? Almost 100%.
In conclusion/TLDR:
Do not play this hack, period. Going into it blind will be a total waste of your time and even looking at it in SMILE will be a waste of your time. I did it so you don't have to.
I did not beat this hack. There is no way in hell or a thousand years that I will be coming back to this hack to beat it.


oh, and there's a sequel. and a third one coming in 2020.

Sapphron lied, it's .rar :P
Anyway, stupid halfhack that just moves the items to annoying locations. Carry on.

A halfhack with items in dumb spots you will never find unless you spend hours searching for them.

Had no idea how to get Speed Booster so I decided to give up there.

Avoid.
