Super Metroid Ascent

[Odb718]

So far this hack has been great. But after 3 days of a few hours each, I don't feel the want to pick it up again to beat it.
The last 2 days have been exploring nothing but pink rooms looking for something I've missed. The only possible thing I know I'm missing is super bombs.
If someone would be so kind as to name the room super bombs are found and maybe show it on the pause map?
I honestly don't feel like wasting another 3h.

Overall, this doesn't feel like someone's first attempt at a hack. It's fantastic. I just think there are some advanced techniques for leading the player you could have utilized. And again, I'm not trying to bash this game at all. But my entire map is pink. I have no clue what to do or where to go next.

benox50, if you don't mind I'd actually like to PM you about 2 ideas for some improvements on some things.

[spoiler]If you are still in area2 you can just leave it by ascending, the door and boss position should be clear and visible on the map. Btw there is no point to get powa bombs when there is nothing that needs them in area2[/spoiler]

So I'm in a room in the third area and I'm wondering about something...

[spoiler]The Out Of Bounds room in the Warp Zone...is there a way through the grey door?[/spoiler]

[benox50]

[spoiler]I can only say yes you can go through that door, but will say nothing else[/spoiler]

[spoiler]It opens during the escape, and leads to the animals.[/spoiler]

[Odb718]

Yeah, so guys, if you come to an orange door, it's actually supposed to be green.
Seems benox50 is a lot more of a troll than I thought at first.

Comments:
[spoilers]
- Room design is top-notch, so much variety!
- Really liked that all (or most?) items were marked on the map.
- Wish I could backtrack, but didn't feel I missed much from not being able to.
- Final boss was sort of disappointing, I could easily recharge my health using space jump.
- I may have missed some bosses and didn't got X-Ray.
- Easily in the top 5 of all hacks.

Muy buen hack! Tremendamente disfrutable y ya lo he recomendado mucho entre mis cercanos. Muy buen trabajo y me gustaron lo ingeniosas mecánicas que agregaste a este juego

If anyone cares, I submitted a 100% run to speedrun.com. RTA: 1:32:40, IGT: 1:15:00

The only thing I'm sure of is the Zone 2 route. Zone 1 can be improved if you can nail the crumbling bridge to the first reserve tank on the first (few?) try(ies?), otherwise it's faster to come back later for it. For zone 3 I have no idea. It seems like there's so many possible paths, I just chose one and stuck to it.

Other big thing are room strats. I did almost no testing. Almost every room is just me winging it. Huge improvements likely possible.

Posting again to announce that LinkaMeister used my 100% route and crushed my 1:29:20 with an amazing 1:18:34

Nice map danidub and nice run neat, now I need to watch Linka run. Its nice to see the evolution on that hack  :grin:

[Grayfox82]

I wanted to make a couple of boxes for the game. I didn't like the only one I found on the internet, so I did a little collage work with them. Tremendous hack, one of the best I've played so far. It was a great experience!

[spoiler]I'm in Zone 2 at the moment, and i want to get the Speed Ball. Too bad the room it's in seems badly constructed: I can get the item, but once I do so, I can't get out. And how can I get through the tunnels with spikes?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]That room is indeed badly designed, sorry. You can still springball to get in. To get out you use the item you got and you push on the arrows blocks. For that spikes tunnel, there is like 3 ways in, the cool way is to shine spark then morph during shine or you can do some exploring. [/spoiler]

beat this hack 97% or so, the hack is one of the most impressive ones i ve played, vanilla difficulty, some tricky rooms and is a pretty long hack.

things i loved:

- the custom music and gfx
- every room has a name, and name of room sometimes are a hint or a joke
- the W tanks and the sninespark economizer tanks
- the new speed booster, oh my god, best shinespark ever in a metroid hack.
- the "taste the rainbow" room, you get a free HYPER BEAM for a limited time, the beam is blue tho. feels good to instakill croco,
- you can see enemy boss HP!!!!



things that annoys me:

-[spoiler] the etecoons room: oh my... to get the super missile you need a pixel perfect eteecon jump, takes me like an hour to get that super, this can be improved lowering one tile the block maybe.
- the last powerbomb W tank room, this thing makes me nuts.
- some red doors colored green, or some green dors colored yellow, maybe a color layer issue.
- last boss is pretty dissapointing: you can pretty oneshot him with a powerbomb charge beam.
- the suitless underwater section is very long, and you can get lost pretty easily, maybe making the route more obvious to gravity suit, can be pretty welcomed.
- screw attack is soooo weak, maybe upgrading the power like 3x or 4x can make this item work.[/spoiler]

overall, i'll give 9 of 10 this hack, pretty amazing.

[Mod-troid]

[spoiler]I have come back to this hack after a good while, and I am still going for 100%. Two questions though: How am I supposed to get that missile pack in the Intersection room in Zone 2? And what is it with the backward-facing gate in Open Sesame?[/spoiler]

[wiiztec]

Couple things I need help on
[spoiler]What am I supposed to do with the morph gravity invert in fresh welcoming?
How do I open the gray door in reflects trail?
How do I get to the BC door in spazer fountain?[/spoiler]

[wordup]

Maybe I'm missing something totally obvious, but I seem to have found a softlock two minutes into the game.  I started the game and immediately went up to the left door to "Morph Bait".  I can't seem to make any progress here.  I can't get to the right side of the room to get the morph ball.
When I leave the room by going back down, it's full of lava (for some unknown reason).

I restarted the game and went into the top right door and got my morph ball, but I don't understand how I was supposed to know which door to go in.

FWIW, I'm on 1.12.
