Just the mere fact that they really did fit the entire map of Super Metroid onto a GBA cart as faithfully as possible.

But one of the coolest things to see was a fully implemented Crocomire (Who was in the beta version of ZM but was scrapped). The Chozo Guardian replaces Phantoon, Imago replaces Draygon, etc. ZM obviously doesn't have Super's bosses, so this hack repurposes ZM's bosses. This hack uses door tilesets and pastes them over breakable blocks to compensate. You see it's through this hack that I learned about some of the limitations of ZM's engine. Using a combination of tilesets from ZM and from Fusion, they really make every area look the part.Ĭlever workarounds. They somehow managed to make a better-looking Super Metroid than even FSMR looks so far. This hack smartly makes some alterations to some rooms to make ZM's physics work within Super's design. One of my biggest issues with the GBA Style romhack for Super Metroid that tried to port ZM's controls to that game was that the heavy physics caused me to fly all over the place since the level design was not made for those heavy physics. The way the level design was made to fit the physics. But firstly, let's get into what I liked. And there were some really baffling things too. Because as fun as this imitation of Super Metroid was, it was still just that. But it also made me realize how much Super Metroid DOESN'T need a remake frankly. And it was really fun, after all many people have noted that ZM definitely has a lot of QoL improvements from the way the map works down to controls and physics, and I personally prefer the snappy movement of ZM. GBA Edition is a romhack for Zero Mission that ports in the map of Super Metroid into that game's engine.

This was a romhack that's been on my radar for a while.
