Ok, so I've got a couple of miniature hacks in the works, two of them finished, but none of them merit their own thread, especially because there will be quite a few by the time I'm done. I'm making these because I'm really to busy to do an involved hack at the moment, I just need something to do when I have a couple of minutes free time.

The first is a boss rush hack. I remembered someone asking about one a while ago, but I could never find one, so I made one. There aren't really any major puzzles or skill requirements; however, there are a couple of times where you'll have to go through a couple of doors because I was having trouble placing the refills and expansions in some of the rooms before the boss. I hope you all enjoy it. For lack of a better name, its been called Super Metroid: Boss

Playground is finished. Ips is uploaded. Fun shall commence. For information on Playground, check page 4 of this thread.

edit: playground IPS updated.
Current Mini Project Arrow ???

The ips files that I post in this thread will all use the same rom (AKA Super Metroid (JU) [!] unheadered)

Didn't you save a copy of the one you used for Puddin? I suggest you save a couple copies of it this time. I make hacks a lot it seems.

Max is 50%

Another thing to note is that if you're quick enough during the escape sequence, you can go fight MB again, and again, and again... For some reason her eye beam resets the timer.

If any of you have suggestions about item placement/order, let me know, I was just going by what I thought would work well for that particular boss.
I'm an idiot.

 laugh new just keep the zip file, or a couple spare copies, I promise that unless my computer crashes again, I'll always use the same rom for my patches.

Well, one of the items is the x-ray, and the other is the grapple, but quite truthfully, they're in plain sight. I just added them in to make the end % and nice even 50.

About the part you liked:

Has anyone saved the animals yet? If you do, you're in for a trip.

Got 50% in 00:16. I managed to 2-round phantoon =D. You should make the zebetites vurnerable to the hyper beam, so you can save the animals =/

Won't the missile recharge station work?

Make a hard version boss rush, that could be interesting.

I liked playing this by the way, I'd very much like to see more minihacks like this. :P

Hrmm, these look interesting, but extensive searching has not turned up that kind of ROM. I'm at ducknerd@gmail.com, could someone possibly send me a copy? I hope this isn't toeing the line too much on the "no ROM requests" rule.

Done!
Clear time 00:18
Item collection 48%
Animals saved, I only had to travel through KraidĀ“s lair to enter Crateria again. Thanks to this weird Japanese version rom of mine, I could not tell how much time I had left because the numbers were all screwed up  :D

This was nice, ought to be a good tool to practice some of the boss fights. I also hope that someone will make the hard boss attack hack, that would be sweet too. Yay for (good) mini-hacks in general !
