Description

This hack is made for one of my favorite Mario game streamers at first, and now I decided to release it for you all to enjoy :).

It is not a very hard hack, but there is also a 0% challenge prepared for you.

This is technically my first hack, it is not perfect, you are welcomed to give any suggestions.

There will be some differences comparing to the vanilla gameplay, please discover them yourself.

[Special Thanks]

No completion stats.

Shortcomings: Be cautious of the traps which can cause instant death upon contact.Additionally,the placement of the SA-X can also be a bit challenging.
Advantages: The Power Grip has been removed at the beginning so that you must be adepte at using the Wall-jump to pass some particular terrains.What's more,the game's process and level design are quite innovative.
Despite the minor flaws, it is still highly recommended as a complete and splendid Fusion's Hack to enjoy.I do credit you will open it as soon as possible.

It's a easy HACK, with a lot of Energy inside. The design of the mirror runs through the entire HACK, which is very interesting and helpful for clearing and collecting.
The texture and music are both very fresh, and the BOSS battle design is average.
After 100% clearance, I tried 0% clearance, the Ridley was the only one who defeat it difficult.
Hidden roads have hints, but traps have no hints.
Overall, the HACK was quite relaxed and enjoyable, worth a PLAY

Box 2 won't spawn when approaching the wave gate in sector 6. I confirmed via Youtube let's play that this should occur, but nothing happens and now I'm softlocked near the end.

Not recommended until rom hack is patched and/or list of hashes are provided for validation.

As for the hack itself, it relishes in messing with the player in ways that aren't interesting or novel. A bunch of major progression paths aren't indicated in any meaningful way (freeing the animals) or are pointlessly obtuse (getting punished for juking the SA-X and leaving through the missile-tile floor, then expecting the player to recognize the trap door turns into a normal exit after the room state changes). The "map mirror" design is potentially interesting, but the map indicator positions weren't adjusted so the map is essentially useless for routing the intended path. Overall the hack is lacking and underpolished, and not recommended unless you're desperate for a Fusion hack and willing to forgive a lot of issues.

I'm gonna be harsh, because of a few things that ruin all rom hacks. 1. bomb block paths to progress are BAD, do not make someone bomb every tile to find a path(yellow gate). 2. random shoot to break areas to progress, NO again. for extra pickups sure but main quest NOOOO. 3. the worst offender, No one will EVER find how to get to red gate unlock without a video guide. there is NO hint at ALL and honestly that would make that a 1 star for me BUT:
the good:
a different take on the powerups, and the ability to do something when gaining screw was kinda cool.

Advice: dont be afraid to check a video guide so you wont waste hours of time on some poorly designed pathing.

Bizarre hack. Not unfun but definitely riddled with some stupid decisions because it was made to troll a streamer. Biggest offender for the design are some loud sounds, basically any audio that was added to the game be it sound or music is a factor louder than anything vanilla. If you wear headphones, beware when fighting Ridley, Omega Metroid, or any time you press the Select button. Less annoying is graphical design. The author retiled practically every room in the game (save a few at the end) but had no creative talent whatsoever so the rooms are plastered in repeating tiles, decorated or not. Enemy resprites are workable but not much better. Now, for grievances with the level design. The traps are not terrible, you just have to memorize where they all are and SAVE FREQUENTLY. There are many save stations and few traps, but it is annoying to fall into a trap because it means you've been trollolololed. Finding your way through the rest of the station is not difficult, Toadette hints are MVP and paying attention to empty map squares is second best, but beware of the one situation outlined above: the path to security L4 in lower Sector 4. Granted, it is actually rather obvious if you look at the two parts to Sector 4 which room you should be searching, but the actual tile is offscreen, there is a red herring Toadette in the area, and the actual Toadette hint in the mirror room you very likely won't remember as you had only been there hours ago and have to go well out of your way to see again without unlocking security L4. Not very obvious design. Overall, there are better Fusion hacks out there, but this one is unique and not a complete waste of your time. There's items to pick up everywhere, but I don't even want to think about playing a 0% run.
