[0Zero0]

This is a Metroid: Zero Mission hack by [Jumzhu] from China,released at April 20, 2018
=====================================




New version captures added in 2018/5/12



=====================================
A bossrush hack with challenges !

There is a map and a readme file in the rar package.

ps.the Metroid Graphics is from Metroid Spooky Mission(before v2.0.6), thank you all who made that awsome game !

Here is the readme from the author (translated by Google and me :^_^:)

------------------------------------------

Why the Readme use chinese？
emmm,My English is bad....

Hello there! This is my first hack, which took 15 days from conception map to main body. After that, it was basically testing, improving and searching for bug. There are basically no collection elements in the game, pure bossrush. The game is divided into three modes: [low], [any] and [all]. If you are a novice, please choose [low]. In this hack, the kicking of the wall is a necessary skill. By the way, the hack can be 15% in the [any] mode.

Use Tool:Mage, Mzmr, XVI32, NLZ-GBA Advance, iview451_x64 and computer drawing.


Game Help

Player: Why can't the ball ability be used?
Jumzhu: Well, all the capabilities are not immediately available XD.


Player: Why is there no map?
Jumzhu: I used a random rom to prevent the Chozo statue Boss from forcing varia suits and gravity suits, but it made it impossible to modify the map. Once the map is modified, all the abilities will disappear in the game, even if edited in hexadecimal. The same is true for device modifications.


Player: Why I get gravity suits but can't activate?
Jumzhu: [Any] Mode will be like this. If it is All Mode, it will be turned on. This is also a bug caused by random rom modification.


Player: When we fled for the first time, which route should we take?
Jumzhu: The best route, [Low] can only go to the top, [Any] in the middle, [Hard] in the bottom.


Player: Why is there a "?" after [Any] in the mode selection?
Jumzhu: In the [Any] mode, you can omit some Boss and you can also play almost all bosses.


Player: The mother brain is very hard, I can't go through!
Jumzhu: Standing beside her mother's brain, even if you are hit by light waves, you can hardly lose energy.


Player: In a hot room, I kept lose energy, and the big worm that blocked the road couldn't fight.
Jumzhu: Use super missiles and charge beam to quickly break.


Player: Ridley can't beat!
Jumzhu: Intensive use of super missiles, and then to add super missiles and energy, into the ball form can escape the tail, it can also attract it to throw small fireballs, so that it can add energy.


Player: How to fight Acid worm?
Jumzhu: When you freeze the seahorse, then when Boss attacks, hit the transmission switch and jump up to grab the switch. In the middle of the transfer, freeze the other seahorse. Then get down from it and step on the frozen seahorse to attack Boss. Of course, you can also save energy and attack Boss in the acid, especially the last form.


Player: In the mother brain's escape, I killed the charge beam Boss, and then I found the route behind it became different.
Jumzhu: It was originally set up like that.


Player: In the [All] mode, the third Chozo statue Boss is almost unbeatable!
Jumzhu: Yes, the last form is really difficult, but it can actually be solved with an power bomb. In the previous route, a Metroid room had plants that blocked the road, where shine spark could get an power bomb.


Player: How to beat the eye monster boss before the mechanical Ridley?
Jumzhu: You can kill it with fifty super missiles. You can also kill it with ten super missiles hitting its eyes. [Any] and [All] need to use the above transmission.


Player: Why can't I destroy the mechanical Ridley's missile?
Jumzhu: If you get all the beam guns, then you must put an power bomb to weaken the missile before you can use the beam gun to destroy it.


Player: How to fight black pirates in flight?
Jumzhu: Refer to the original game's Low% Quick Video.


Player: Metroid can't freeze sometimes?
Jumzhu: Sometimes it takes more than one shot. If you want to freeze it, use a charge beam.


Player: Is there a new hack plan?
Jumzhu: It was originally there, but I found that the capabilities of each area of ​​the game cannot be set in other areas. However, I do not have any programming knowledge, so I can only stop it.
If you have problems and solutions you can email me because in China it is very difficult to overtake the wall.

I am sorry about that, i just modified the topic .We have no malice, just because Metroid Spooky Mission is very popular in china, we all love this game!  many bilibili uploader have made the video including me ! so don't sue me anyway :cry:

This was a really challenging hack, but it deserves more credit than I gave it while streaming. It taught me the real way to fight many of the bosses. I may need a break before I can play it again but I could be convinced to revisit this hack another time.

[Cpt.Glitch]

You can softlock here by hitting the laser then immediately moving to the right before the gate closes.

I am sorry about that,

It's no problem. Just making sure Ing-Ing's work on those graphics get their due credit. They are pretty cool looking.

We just fixed this bug, and some other bugs! please download the new version :yay:

BTW, the author have some problems wants to ask you ,I'll try to describe his question:

He wants to know why some ASM files will have this kind of error?

[0Zero0]

Here is the 15% in [any] mode video by the author [Jumzhu] at Bilibili:
https://www.bilibili.com/video/av22401174/

And he said there should be two 15% route of the [any] mode. This route is relatively easy, perhaps.

I't looks like he does not have the most recent version of armips installed. That code uses a special syntax not supported in the old version. Tell him he can find the new versions here. https://buildbot.orphis.net/armips/
