Description

The dude who looks a lot like Samus in a power suit a lot like Samus is on another adventure! After abandoning that ship he stole after the nuclear incident elsewhere he finds himself on some strange, icy, demonic planet. Can he figure out the mystery and escape the horror that is the world within the planet?

Note: There is a better version of this hack called SMNonCompetition. I recommend to play that instead (or play both and see what a little bit of extra polish does to a hack)

No completion stats.

That grapple room is concentrated evil in hack form. As for the rest, there's some neat stuff but it's tempered by a thick layer of frustration. Seriously, just play SMNonCompetition instead.

Good grief save yourself from this and play SMNonCompetition instead. This is a good class on "why your hack should have save stations" because you could really use a save station in this thing.

No animals to be saved.

Quick Summary of the meaning of my SM hack ratings:
5 orbs: SM hacks within the 80% to 100% (90% ± 10%) range of perceived perfection; SM hacks for outstanding wholesome playing experiences and at most minor inconveniences.
4 orbs: SM hacks within the 60% to 80% (70% ± 10%) range of perceived perfection; Well done SM hacks with noticeable design problems.
3 orbs: SM hacks within the 40% to 60% (50% ± 10%) range of perceived perfection; Normal decent average SM hacks.
2 orbs: SM hacks within the 20% to 40% (30% ± 10%) range of perceived perfection; Overall messy, confusing, or punishing SM hacks with some upsides.
1 orb : SM hacks within the 00% to 20% (10% ± 10%) range of perceived perfection; Ruthlessly unplayable, broken, or barely from the original game changed SM hacks.

Judgement parameters summary:
° Creative ideas and features, polished design, how enjoyable and fun the hack can be, lack of hard to find or cryptic required game elements, the difficulty, and if the hack can be finished without major guides or tools.
° Note that the length of a SM hack will not necessarily contribute to my rating of the SM hack, since instead the averaged out experience over the whole hack will be taken into account to get a relative comparison between SM hacks.
° Besides this, lack of impactful changes from the original SM game also went into the evaluation of SM hacks (otherwise one may consider them among the 3 stars hacks) as follows: Ultimately, for my ratings I consider a situation in which an SM enthusiast that already has, knows about and is familiar with the original game and its prominent mechanics could only choose 1 new SM hack to play and thus would really want to make sure he/she will get a fresh and fantastic experience or journey out of his/her 1 choice.

The goal of all these SM hack ratings is so that rather new players have an overview of the whole spectrum of SM hacks and how to sort them in, in relation to each other, where SM hacks that are rated lower might still be enjoyable for more experienced players.

Finally, sometimes for SM hacks it can be relevant that they may be significantly more enjoyable from a player standpoint at which the player is well practiced and familiarized with Super Metroid's game mechanics in general, and that in particular some of the best SM hacks may not be the outright best first SM hack choices to play otherwise because of this, and for beginner SM hack players this typically steers the best first SM hack choices towards some of the SM hacks that I rated with 4 orbs instead of 5.

Rating for some hacks may be off by 1 Star, but arguably not more, and ratings are not attempted to be provided within the precision of ''half orbs''.

very short hack with nice visuals, but that doesn't take away the fact that No competition is better than this and is much more recommended than this monstrosity of a hack (because of that grapple room, which is think is pure unadulterated evil and I also think the author intentionally put that there to watch players suffer but that's just my honest opinion, and that spore spawn fight) that frustrates you to no end and for that, I cannot recommend this to anyone.. like others have stated, I also agree with them and think that NonCompetition should be played instead of this, 2/10 do NOT recommend under NO circumstances
