Super Metroid Cliffhanger Redux

[Digital_Mantra]

Super Metroid Cliffhanger was originally released June 26th, 2008.
Redux has revived the planet with new rooms, savestations, refurbished layouts,
and a renewed storyline. From top to bottom, everything has been updated.

It was and is now at its core a challenge hack, a game to fire up and hone your skills.
Secondly it tells a story, locate all 5 Chozodian Lores to complete the mystery behind Planet Uviol.

yikes what a treat to wake up to!  I honestly didn't see this coming but it is a welcome sight. Thanks Mantra now I have something to occupy me today :D

Much like the original Cliffhanger, I suspect this is a bit above my skill level but I gotta play it anyway ;)

[Steel Sparkle]

This looks fun. May check it out later :3

Alright I normally hate ever asking this stuff but I feel im kinda boned.  Im in the room acessed by shinesparking through the door into a room with a super missle  and fire flies.  I cant go back the way I came and no matter how much I tried I cant shinespark in the upper door to save my life.  even tried to slow down the game to do it and im always just a tad short.

Otherwise its a fun challenge and has a better balance than the older versions of cliffhanger, mixing some of both versions.

If you build the spark from right to left then you can get enough speed running back to the right to hop all the way up top to do the spark

When you say it's a challenge hack, do you mean one of the annoying precision-perfect ones, or one that you simply need to know the skill, not to get it pixel perfect?

[Quietus]

There are some sections that are (or certainly feel like) pixel perfection.

I appreciate the assist Daltone!  I got out and found my way to the "wrecked Ship" are.  Sadly I feel im a bit underpowered, with only an energy tank.  And Phantoon is whoopin my ass.  Will try to look around some if able.  If I had one more tank or maybe two I think id be alright.

*Edit*  Scratch that I manage to beat him with aggressive save states.  Woot!

Yeaaaaa. Can't wait to get off of work  :^_^:

For the most part it's mainly the use of skills. There are only a couple parts that require precision to progress, and several for 100%.
It depends on the player if it's seen as annoying or challenging.

Good job so far DM. Game is pretty fun and challenging. So far up to the ice beam. Can't wait to see what i get next.

[PonchGaming]

Been enjoying so far. But I already got in a perma. The landing site has a perma. WTF.

You can also soft lock the game by getting caught by the yapping maw in the next room while shinesparking sometimes.
I'm aware of these both, I let them slide because they aren't very common to happen, and being so close to the ship, it's not going to kill your progress.

After watching TAS videos of Cliffhanger, I never even bothered giving it a chance.  Looked stupid hard.  And at this point I have a number of SM hacks under my belt...

...but I'll give this one a shot now!  Looking forward to a good challenge

Just in case you can find another E-tank in this room.

Edit:I feel stupid. That puzzle to get what is in that spoiler is a lot easier than i thought.

[spoiler]Where do i head after getting the ice beam from Kraid?[/spoiler]

[spoiler] After Kraid return to Brinstar area and get Grapple after sporespawn if I recall correctly.  [/spoiler]

Anyway I myself may have effed up.  I beat Eldridge and screwed around in Brinstar area only to I feel hit a roadblock.  I think Varia may be in Eldridge but I cant return the normal way due to a gray door.  Got like 15 supers and 3 energy tanks and tried Norfair area but seems I cant.

If it was only for a few expansions, I could understand, but requiring it for the actual powerups or progression is kind of lame. I don't want to play Super Metroid Kaizo here, just some regular challenges. Oh well, there are plenty of other hacks and there are plenty of people who enjoy the Kaizo level Metroid hacks.

_{Actually wait there legit is a Super Metroid Kaizo}

If you're asking for help: [spoiler]Keruarns 2nd heat run is your next location, 3 tanks is tight but doable, there's a couple more you could fetch to make it less stressful.[/spoiler]

Depending on reception an easy version may be made in the near future, although not likely unless it's pure hate across the board. Cheers for checking in.
