Super Metroid Redirect

[j2001m]

Hi all
This is my 1st hack , I took the best hack I was able to find and did one big redirect on it, as per the name, it's a full game, it's easy, and I call it Exploration hack.

I have removed things and added things and done a big list of redirects, you may just get lost, but it's all very easy to play, I can get it done within 2 hours, but you will not do that on your 1st go, even if you played Super Metroid many times.
If you get stuck look for hidden routes, there is always a clue in most cases.

Please post any feed back

All Credits go to all on this site before me and all that made this hack to stat with.

UPDATE: Ok, new ver out with an easy to find brinstar path

Crap the last update had a bad room that will make it so you be stopped getting to the end of the game, there is now a new update, so please re-download

This fixes the bad room in Maridia and spore spawn taking 5sec to kill

This game can be 100% completed, grapple beam is your best friend if you get stuck!!!

Gotta say, as soon as I understood where the hack was going, it was coming true to its name Redirect. Really enjoyed it up until I couldn't go any further without power bombs. Found an invisible platform block.

You got to do something with that grapple close to where you get it, power bombs are way off I.e. as per the name you being redirected due to power bombs being needed.

[j2001m]

When it comes to the block, I did not give that room a good look over as it was in the rom I edited and I did nothing with that room, I have now sorted it and reuploaded it
I.e. please do not give up due to it as is was not my error, I be thinking many have played the rom I used and it's not been fixed in that rom, hm

I did play test the rom many times but also did not notice  this bug, so good going, I be thinking you may find my own bugs, so please keep playing to help me out, thanks

Will do! Yes, this is a modification of Grime's Project Base. Pretty popular template these days, not that I'm against it, I love to see what others can do with its open-ended nature and your example is turning out great by making it semi-linear.

All right, gonna see where that hint takes me to, keep up the great work!

this should be different to make it look nicer, maybe something that looks like the terrain around it.

feel like this savestation should fit the surrounding area more, maybe the gray palette

might want to fix scrolls here unless intended
is sporespawn supposed to die in 5 missiles?
that's as far as i got, couldn't make progress since i didn't find where to go
had grapple, 2 e-tanks and supers

Where do I go. I just got grapple but running in circles. I see a super missile door nearby and a crumble block but don't know where  to go with the grapple.

I got you, fam. Been there before. Shoot the grapple beam around where you picked it up, you'll find your way to that green door.

Okay, beat the hack in 6:30, 104% items. Found a bunch of missing blocks and collisions, otherwise the enemies and the bosses should have higher HP. Good hack overall.

Thanks. Shot around and found it.

Stopped playing after getting to top part of maridia, 3:42 igt.

Grappling block that player has to find after spore spawn is dumb. I knew about the crumble and green door, it seemed like a way out. Only found out what to do because of other players talking about it in this thread.
If you really want to do things like that you might want to lock player inside the area, preferably the room where they need to do random thing like that. Consider making bottom right door out of that room kraid locked, same for door upwards after spore spawn, if you want to keep that block as is.

Kraid room, at least after he's dead, has disabled enemies in it, at least one, slightly above left door. It can be killed by power bombs and tends drop health if you're not full.

Having to do a heat run to get varia is... I'm tempted to say "dumb" again. Not because it's difficult, it is not. It's that you're sending a message to players that they might need to do things like that in the future. Because of this heat run I've spent a while considering if I have to shinespark in lava without gravity to get into lower norfair, and if it's possible to damage boost there with the charge, or if there's some project base mechanic I don't know that I have to use.

Getting to top part of maridia is, again... dumb. I visited shaktool first and found that block without problem even before considering if I have to ice clip.
Finding way up was not as simple. You might think that having grapple blocks there serve as a "hint", but to me it just seemed like yet another roadblock. Having speed blocks there did not help either.

I considered playing further, but decided against it. I do not want to hunt a random block after I get next item.

Thanks for the info, both blocks, the one in brinstar and maridia have block error hits, that do help the player find where to go, you also gave up right at the time it gets easy, to find where you going.

Please note it's hard to make Exploration hack when it uses the most downloaded rom, so I was thinking most will be up where the paths will be and so on, I.e. the enemies are easy to kill but work is needed to find where you need to go, like plasma is at the start of the game, but good luck getting it any time soon, when it comes to the boss with the enemies after you killed them, that again is in the normal ver of the rom, why you the 1st to find that no idea, I be thinking that makes the graphics errors after you go back in the room, that was bugging me on my beta test but as it was in the normal ver and that the rom hacker reworked the boss, I was thinking that was just a thing of the rework plus I noted it on other hacks

[j2001m]

Ok, new ver out with updated brinstar path and some bugs fixed

[j2001m]

thanks For posting it on the main site :yay:

After  changing over to the latest ips I now can't enter this door in Maridia. Game crashes. Using zsnes. I could get in there before. Hope I don't have to start over. http://imgbox.com/RorZvg47

Just for future reference, we don't have an automated system to tell us when something has been submitted to the main site, so currently it's best to jump into the Discord server and ping an approver about your submission.

That now been fixed mate, sorry about that, there 3 room. That can just stop working, and that the 1 that there is no way to tell it's stop working, no idea why that the case, as I made no edits to any of the 3 and they all in Maridia

[andlabs]

How do I get to the top of Maridia? I have all items except Space Jump and Spring Ball.

[j2001m]

The same way you got out of brinstar, you need to use grapple and find something, clues are there

[j2001m]

How are you finding the hack?

[piush]

I finished this hack with 96% of items found . Missed one energy tank. Once I figured out that the grapple beam was your best friend when stuck , I found the hack fun.

[j2001m]

Good to see you like the game!

[j2001m]

This game can be 100% completed, grapple beam is your best friend if you get stuck!!!

[DonnyDonovan]

Can get up and down the tube but I'm running in circles trying to figure out how to get to either boss in Maridia.   Tried grapple a lot of places.  Honestly with all the circling and backtracking, while I know it's called "redirect," I'm not having a particularly fun experience making my way through this.  It's OK.   

[j2001m]

You need to use grapple in the biggest room of Maridia
