All levels are very dark and have that creepy outer space type of atmosphere. If you’d like to try any of these, I suggest playing the original Super Metroid first, just to familiarize yourself with some of the nuances of the original. This one’s a lot harder then the ones mentioned above. It’s currently a playable beta, but definitely worth trying out! – M NES = Metroid, Nintendo Entertainment System.
One good thing about the game, is there’s a bunch of “side quest” type of things (such as getting the x-ray scope) which are insanely hard, but aren’t required to beat the game.
Graphics and nothing else was changed but the level design was executed so well that I had to list it.
Also, please note that there’s a ton of Super Metroid romhacks available, but I don’t enjoy the ones that are expert-only; Some require crazy moves like diagonal shinesparking, just to pass through to the next area. – This game was designed to be used with savestates. There’s a few things like this in the game I really enjoyed, but don’t want to give more detail, cause I don’t want to spoil anything. – It saves automatically when you enter a new area. There are many minor but noticeable changes to the graphics, the physics engine, and much more.
I finished it in just under 7 hours at 80%, but I was taking my time and exploring and probably could have cut at least two hours out of that. (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o), I am a long time webmaster.
The name of this game explains it well. InputDisplay - Shows an inputdisplay in the top left of the HUD. I haven’t played it, but it’s next on my list…. - Team/Contributors – More Information & Download (SD2Snes Only).
Feel free to go back to the main SNES page. i will update it when i can. If you’d like info on mods for other systems, head to the Getting RGB From Each System page or check out the main page for more retro-awesomeness. – I only had to cheat once: I couldn’t figure out where to go next, so I kept searching all the areas I’d already been to. This is the unofficial prequel to the original Metroid game. - Contact Us
I went back again and randomly it was unlocked!!! – The music could be better. These can all be played by people who can comfortably beat the original and aren’t too crazy.
All in all, I would have to say that this ROM hack of Super Metroid is truly one of the pinnacles of achievement in hacking, and I truly hope (as I feel) that this hack becomes one of the primary benchmarks for SM hackers for years to come, for Super Metroid: Ascent is one of those hacks SM hackers should aspire to reach the depth, complexity, and enjoyment of. – More Information & Download – Sometimes (but not always), when you save and power off the game, the “red” map data gets corrupt.
The following hacks are practice hacks, there are different ROMs that have different features enabled, these features are the following: SM Saving+InfoHud+Menu+NoFanfare+InputDisplay 1.42, SM Saving+InfoHud+Menu+NoFanfare+InputDisplay 1.42 (Saving on controller 2), SM Saving+InfoHud+Menu+NoFanfare+InputDisplay+Minimap 1.42 (This has the minimap left in, and some info removed), SM Saving+InfoHud+Menu+NoFanfare+InputDisplay+Minimap 1.42 (This has the minimap left in, and some info removed) (Saving on controller 2), SM InfoHud+Menu+NoFanfare+InputDisplay 1.42, SM Saving+InfoHud+Menu+InputDisplay 1.42 PAL, SZM Saving+InfoHud+Menu+NoFanfare+InputDisplay 1.42, Saving - This adds savestate support using Select+Y+R for saving and Select+Y+L for loading, there is also a 2P variant that loads/saves on controller 2. Menu - This adds an ingame menu that can be used to modify the gamestate and teleport and more. This game features an all new storyline, new areas to explore, a custmizble weapons system and more action packed gameplay.
I was still able to beat it, but had to cheat twice and a few times had to look up where to go. The gameplay has been revamped, tweaked and feels even better than Super Metroid in my opinion.
Also, there are NO save rooms in the game, maybe 4 total, which means you HAVE to use savestates, or be an expert. – Created By: Drewseph At times it felt the enhancements made it a bit easier then the original, but it was an absolute blast to play! – There are no clues for where to go, ever. Example: I got stuck in the first 5 min and all I had to do was shoot a bottom-corner of a room and drop down. This is Super Metroid but the unofficial darker hyped up version known as Hyper Metroid. – Created By: dACE It’s not a hack, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
