Regardless what this hack was missing in it. The creator definitely put in a lot of work on this. He would benefit from having some people like Oats play testing for him to help fill in more things, and possibly a digital composer that can put SM music into GBA. But again, the creator put in a lot of effort very obviously and did a better job than I would have expected.
I thought it was incredibly faithful and the only real big changes were things they obviously couldn't get around like grapple blocks being changed to the ceiling holders and lack of a few notable creatures which were worked around nicely given the limitations. It's nice to see such dedication to projects like this.
@@ProjectDevilEye the developer went as far as they could. Implementing new enemies and mini/bosses would require rewriting parts of the original game programming, which is very hard and time consuming cuz you have to do it in assembler.
I only ever played a little bit Super Metriod and after playing the GBA games, it was hard to get used to the controls. I'm sure I would have eventually but since I'm going through the games in preparation for Metriod 5, this is great! Anything missing, I won't know about so it doesn't affect me. I'll probably get to Snes Metriod at some point. But until then, I have this.
@@Yominication because it's easier. This happens in most games. If it is hard people don't like it because we want everything to go our way. Same reason people rage quit in competitive games. I want it my way so if it's hard the BS i quit.
@@Yominication iono how people say that. Even the easiest skips in SM are impossible in the GBA games because Samus' control is so limited. How is it more fun to have a simple small jump that doesn't change height based on run speed? How is it more fun that speed booster is so slow? You people are crazy
28:34 if I remember correctly, the reason Samus dies if Crocomire reaches the other end of the room before you kill him is because Samus's hit box is constantly on the left of Crocomire. So when Oats clipped behind Crocomire, the hit box went the far left instead so when Crocomire's Scrypt ended with him hitting the left wall it kills Samus instantly regardless of remaining Energy. Best answer is Diagonally aim into his mouth and spam missiles.
Reminds me of when they'd port games to 8-bit computers and you could tell what the game was supposed to be but everything was scuffed in a charming way
One thing that annoys me about this hack is that ZM has remixes of both Wrecked Ship and Lower Crateria yet they don’t use them in their respctive areas.
As far as rom hacks go. This is one of the best ones ive ever seen for any game. Heck they even put in assets that were not apart of Metroid* zero mission like Crocomire. Thats damn impressive
I think croc is in the game files but his bossfight was cut sometime into development. He aint exactly programmed either, i think... But with clever romhacking that shouldnt be an issue.
1:00:51 Don't worry, that's in ver. 4. Sadly no replacement for bomb torizo. Crafters could use the caterpillar that can only be killed by bombs. That'd be cool. Also King Worm was made harder, and interestingly he can't run away which I didn't think hacks could prevent.
The Billy-Maze room actually does still have the 2nd missile tank. When you destroy the block that would usually contain it, there's a crumble block underneath it. (IDK why it didn't get revealed by the Power bomb.) If you fall through that, you end up in a room above the crossroads between the morphball room and the two first missile rooms. (The one that is the entrance to Kraid's lair in Metroid 1.) It's the same room as the one in Zero Mission that you blast into using the morph-ball launcher at the bottom left of the room.
I just finished playing through this hack myself! It's definitely not the most polished, but it's pretty cool to play the Super Metroid story with the Zero Mission art style and physics. Super cool hack!
@@Biscotti5280 Google "Super Metroid GBA Edition" and download the patch file, and also a Metroid Zero Mission rom. Then use a patching application (Like Lunar or something) to apply the patch file to the rom and then run the patched rom in a GBA emulator.
There's another zero mission rom hack where they put fusion bosses in it(serris and arachnus). So maybe in the next version they can have nightmare fill in for draygon.
Fusion and Zero Mission both run on highly similar engines, so I imagine one could port bosses from one game to another. (Albeit with more time thanks to the coding)
A bunch of Fusion bosses have now been ported to ZM; in the recent hack Metroid Desolation, you can fight Arachnus, Serris, Yakuza, Nightmare, and BOX with Zero Mission controls.
the problem with this romhack is that this guy did what he could. If he was capable of making new sprites and write new code, then theoretically he could make a 100% solid remake. The problem is that he used all the recourses that already existed.
plasma/wave combo in this is the most OP thing. Cause the spazer works in an odd way making it 3 shots, so when the OP combo starts, it is just the normal plasma/wave... x3
Hot damn I'm glad they used Zero Mission for this hack, I wish Fusion looked this clean. Lmao Samus @2:10:19 "MY PEOPLE NEED ME!" and Oats' reaction 😂😂😂
Chat is wrong, the reason you can't grab many of the "ledges" in this rom hack is because their clip data isn't set to the "ledge" clip data. It is probably set to "wall".
@@camrencarpenter8085 Not really, things like Wave Beam room in the most recent version are just changed so you need a precise wall jump/horizontal bomb jump to get it instead of abusing ZM Grab Ledge. Also since you can't do mockball in MZM the creator created a secret path in the room to get the early supers, keeping the same sequence break you do in SM.
I see what they tried to do, but it's clear that there were a lot of things lacking, unfortunately, and they didn't have the means to make them happen. Pretty sure it'd require the engine to be completely revamped for that.
Definitely some atmospheric changes need to be made. Some of the boldly colored blocks and backgrounds just don’t make any sense in context of Super, as Zero Missions assets were made to show Zebes before Super, when it’s all alive and thriving for the most part. Super is supposed to feel desolate and barren, and I don’t think the snes assets do a bad job of that. I’d have liked to see more of those moved over and just see the physics updated.
@@gucketjug if the physics were updated wouldn’t that kind of defeat the purpose of this rom hack? Changing the sprites and tiles I’d agree with 100%, as well as using the right music for the right areas.
This was fun...except maybe the incredible time wasted trying to bomb jump and do skips that are fast in regular SM but slower than intended route here XD Cool seeing this recreated in ZM and how they skirted around the mechanic hurdles.
6:16 yes wavers are in ZM, the first place that comes to mind is on the way to Varia, the unassuming hallway with the breakable ceiling tiles and crumble blocks.
Draygon: imago Phanton : chozo guardian Spore spaw: kiru giru Botwon: deorem. those who remain faithful are only kraid, ridley and mother brain, the rest is all from zero mission. the most impressive thing was that they created the crocomire in the edition.
When Zero Mission came out, I loved it because it felt like Super Metroid but fast. I would love to see things like the one-missile red doors and chain reaction blocks on the SNES. Maybe that'd break the game balance but somehow I don't think so. But I'm also not sure they'd recreate the sense of speed from the GBA game just because Zebes on the SNES is way larger and more open than it is on the GBA. Everything's very tight and claustrophobic on the GBA and the scale is different.
for vertical doors they used normal blocks to shoot with the beam, not elevators. Elevators were only used for bigger than 1-tile transitions vertically.
So many people in the comment are apparently expert game hackers, can't wait for their hacks to come out...oh yeah they've probably never hacked a game before, just think they know what they're saying.
The Spazer Beam is stupidly broken in this Hack. Normally SM doesn't let you stack both Plasma and Spazer, but this hack does. Spazer doesn't exist in ZM so they just triple a regular shot, and once you get Plasma everything is just shredded by your massive beam. Ridley takes 200+ Missles to kill but it just takes a couple charged shots to destroy him
Only thing I really wish is that they got the music in there. I know it's easy for me to sit here and say that, it's no easy task, (not that it's inherently bad) but I do not enjoy the Zero Mission OST blaring at me the whole time lol
Someone tell me why the ship fills all your ammo. If Samus has all that ammo in the ship why did she need to find it around zebes? I need answers now deerforce
@Konno Heil no no I mean like she leaves with just power suit the first time to go find morphing ball and bombs but collects missiles after morphing ball. But evidently she had missiles in her ship so why not just leave the ship with them?!
@@the_lizardface It's not that she doesn't have that equipment, it's that her armor lacks the storage for it. If she can't load or store it inside her armor, it's virtually useless until she gets storage for it.
