I'm curious to try it but I know it's most likely filled with annoying (and required) walljumps and bombjumps that every hacker loves throwing in. :negative:

So I tried playing Mission Rescue and holy poo poo I got stuck right after getting the missiles.

EDIT: Morphball requires you to chase a missile so it hits a door. This ROM Hack is loving stupid.

Also, I appreciate that you're approaching the hack from the perspective your described. I've always held the idea that the romhacks I make should still be accessible to new players instead of the niche audience that I know will be the ones to play it so I can completely relate to your mindset here. I hope my tips are helpful going forward.

I wish Super Metroid hackers would understand this. :negative: I've figured out that walljumping is their excuse for "I don't know how to do platforming."

There is Sonic 3 Complete. It's Sonic 3 & Knuckles hacked together so you can play the acts in their original intended order on top of playing the final Sonic levels as Knuckles.

It looks like something that looks like hell to play; just because you're exploiting a glitch to do anything.

I feel as if that section with the "greyscale" water isn't intended, because I've never seen it like that and I'm aware that there's multiple versions of the rom because one doesn't play nice with certain emulators. I've never seen the glitchy lines, either. The way I remember it, it was orange-ish water like before, but each screen was "clearer" than the previous one.

That was at the start of the level, when Megaman is running through the poo water.

staff invasion would've been improved immensely by just splitting it into nine levels

That would defeat the purpose of the "Void".

But I agree, the Void is stupid.

My criteria for Metroid hacks is if you have to use tricks to progress than you're no good.

gently caress your required infinite bomb jumps. And walljumps as well. :argh: Learn proper platforming.

Thanks for posting that video; the one on Kotaku was filled with the streamer getting interrupted by poo poo like "prettyO prettyO prettyO" over and over again. :ughh:

Why aren't the normal safeguards in place for Super Metroid since you appear to always start there? Or is that one of the future plans?
