Who?

Miniboss in Brinstar that leads to the first Super Missile pack.

Other M is canon. Prime is not. So saving the animals means you like Other M more than Prime.

Animals are also in Fusion.

The boss you're intended to fight to get the super missiles that even the 100% run skips.

Never heard of him. Sounds too lame for Super Metroid.

The only way this could get better would be if sweetnumb ends the run with item collection at 99% and is also disqualified from the run :v:

wait i thought prime was still canon it's just that the other m guys didn't like it so they minimized reference to it

I hope in the future maybe non-poo poo SM hacks make it in, like Eris. Eris is such a good SM hack.

I don't know if there's an official statement or if Prime not being canon is just an assumption given how much Other M goes out of its way to contradict it.

I've actually never seen sporespawn either.

homphgomph: Nov 23, 2007; So that's what that feels like

I just put a notepad window over Epic, it's helped a bit.

Maybe give the poor guy a solo run in the bonus stream?

Not really -- you could stick a lot of power in the cartridge too

The first round of NES cartridges were simple -- they were just a slab of ROM, and maybe some RAM, with a tiny bit of glue logic to allow you to switch pages of ROM in and out (called a mapper). However, that mapper glue logic quickly got replaced with dedicated chips, that then got expanded with extra functionality.

For example:
* Zelda and Metroid had a custom chip (MMC1) that made it easier to implement the screen scrolling and have save-games.
* Super Mario Bros 2 and 3 added hardware on top of that (MMC3) to count scan lines and notify the CPU when the TV was drawing a specific part of the screen, so that you could easily do status bars.
* Castlevania III's mapper (MMC5) gave you extra RAM, extra sound channels, specialized hardware for tile index expansion, and a tiny math coprocessor.
* Some of the Japanese-only releases went even farther -- the most notable for the NES was an RPG called Lagrange Point, where the cartridge has an entire Yamaha FM synthesizer on it and generates the game's soundtrack on the cart.

This continued in the SNES generation as well; most people know of the SuperFX chip in Starfox, but the real king of this is Super Mario RPG. The SMRPG cart actually has a full second CPU in it that is capable of interrupting the SNES CPU (and runs faster than it), turning the SNES into a dual-core machine. This is why SMRPG didn't work on many emulators until a few years ago, and why it doesn't work on most SNES flash carts.
