I have awaited this hack since I was a wee lad playing SM hacks on ZSNES. Followed it off and on over its development. So going into this hack once it released I had high hopes, and those hopes were met and sometimes exceeded. What I did not expect was the game to have hands, and that isn't a bad thing imo. In fact I found it refreshing to be put in the Yamcha death crater after grazing a crab. I will however warn new players about the initial NOC visit, which I believe to be the sole outlier in my feelings that the game was challenging but fair. Thankfully 1.1+ made that rough edge a lot smoother.
Overall I find this entire hack to be immensely impressive and worth the 13 years of patience, but I do ask players who aren't as confident in their skills to give the game a shot on easy mode as of 1.2 (No shame in it as again the hack has hands) as this hack is worth experiencing no matter the skill level.
Well done Meta and whoever else helped bring this hack to completion.

While it was a very difficult hack to break into due to the reduced item pickups in terms of capacity ex. 2 missiles per pack, as well as the fact some of them are extremely well hidden, overall this is probably one of my favorite hacks in terms of story. Which I won't spoil, but the hack does hint at the ending in some big ways, and some minor "right place at the right time" ways.
Don't make this your first hack, but definitely play it when your're more seasoned with ROM hacks of SM in general.
Great hack Digital_Mantra, very well done!

This was a very well made hack based on the tools that were available at the time. With the perfect mixture of meme and seriousness to make me fall in love with this and attempt 100% on both normal and hard. Only thing that annoyed me in this hack was the Shinespark Puzzle to get a Power Bomb expansion and most of hard mode (Which is to be expected).
I highly recommend this to anyone who loves Metroid Zero Mission and is looking for a cool spin on this already amazing game.
