Reminded of the bigass Super Metroid file pack an anon once compiled many years ago.

I am that Anon. Of course I can't really prove it, but it's good to see some of you made the exodus here as well.

Super Metroid is shit. I don't like SotN but even that's better.

What? I love this game and played it tons. A good hack is hard to find and I've played them all anyways. This keeps the same base game and makes it just different enough to be fresh

Sure, why not. I'm not a no-fun niggerfaggot, so I'll play ball. Here's hoping my items don't require some in-depth NERD knowledge and skill execution.

>>15755054

randomizers are fine faggot

I've found that I was often hitting Wrecked Ship before going into Norfair. Eg you'd get speed booster or grappling hook or space jump and kill phantoon and find two core items there, possibly the varia suit

Oh that reminds me. Varia Suit has as much def as Gravity Suit now. Gravity Suit only gives freedom of movement and no longer protects from hot rooms. So you do need to find both

My first three items were 2 power bombs and a super missile. I am become god.

>>15755025

I still have that. Fucking hate Super Metroid.

There done. That wasn't nearly as fun as I expected. Clear time was 2:53 and 67% item completion.

Outside of the initial playthrough novelty of randomized items, I can't imagine why anyone but the most dedicated autists would want to play this, and even then only as a change of pace. It was insanely boring since all challenge was obliterated from the get-go as you had 99999999999 super missiles near instantly. The game was not meant to be played like that, and I immediately found myself just going through the motions and trying to remember the quickest route to the next boss, so I could demolish him in .00001 seconds and get a move on.

I was a bit amused though that I didn't get a single damn beam upgrade till I beat Fantoon, then suddenly I walked into Spazer, Charge beam, and Plasma beam within 5 minutes. gg no re at that point.

Why are you telling us something we know?

I kinda like it because early on it's like a puzzle "where can I go", but I realized some of the routing is going to be very similar unless the RNG gets vastly different.

More challenging might be a full randomization, but that would mean you could get the morph ball from a random missle tank in Maridia and never be able to complete the game

Also I tried Hard instead of Tournament settings. Tournament "guarantees" a certain flow for streamfags. There's a few things that are changed to prevent softlocks in Tournament mode, but on Hard, I started with a Speed Booster and had to break the left wall to Brinstar so I could find the Morphing Ball, then got the Screw Attack in place of bombs. Just hit upper norfair and I seem to be exhausted of places to go (ammo drops are more sane on hard - I have 50 missiles and 10 supers, and no bombs at all.)

There's a few places I tend to get stuck at in Hard mode, still.

For example, all I have are Morph Ball and Screw Attack and Power Bombs and Supers, and I managed to beat Kraid and raid the first few rooms of Norfair, but I can't seem to get to the bubble room (the first heat room needs at least bombs or high jump boots to climb up), nor can I reach Crocomire (needs speed booster). I can't get out of the Brinstar tower section without ice beam or high jumps, and there's nothing, only energy tanks. I explored all of the upper areas that I could, too.
