Super Metroid Redesign: Lost Caverns

[E1SUNZ]

If onyl the can redesign this amazing hack again its just too difficult

[McCoy196]

Well, this is the first SM hack that doesn't look like someone sh*t out a bunch of tiles in random places; however, the caverns are boarderline ludicrous and that's a horrible place to fight Phantoon. Overall though, good.

up,up, left, down, right, right, down, left, up, right.

In the previous room, a clue should be given as to how you get through the room with stalactites.

[TheGoldSkulltula]

Did you make this?

[FateJHedgehog]

My Phantoon battles are never this exciting.

[FullOfFail]

Thanks for this video. I normally like finding things out for myself, but I was already aware this was a fairly complicated puzzle. Saved me alot of time. I only have 1 E-tank for the fight though :(

[bowserknight]

why only 1 E-tank? did you waste all the other ones on the blue space pirates? :)

[FullOfFail]

yup ;)

I already beat phantoon now though.

[bowserknight]

haha, just like me in this video. I also start with almost 2 tanks, but fortunately I had a Reserve tank :)

[FullOfFail]

I didn't have any E tanks left for some reason. I just hit him with super missiles and save stated alot. I know about the charge and avoid flames things so it wasn't too hard.

[FullOfFail]

I meant reserve E tanks, on my last comment

[franchescolopez]

@bowserknight about the blue space pirates are they stronger than the gold pirates or what? please answer

[bowserknight]

@franchescolopez it's been a long time since I played this game, so I can't really remember. But I do know that they act just like the golden ones, it's just harder to avoid their attacks because you have no Gravity Suit at first

Stalagmites go up

Stalagtites go down

urgghh... people always confound the two...

[HiroshiMizushima]

I thought it was pretty stupid of Drewseph to put that Stalactite facing the other way at the end. It breaks the pattern and is unintuitive, which is bad for game designers.

But yeah, Phantoon. I think he is the only boss in Super Metroid that I genuinely hate fighting. Not because he's hard, but the flames are quirky and not very responsive to shooting.

I have to admit though, those two platforms in his room really do make a difference. Drewseph actually made him easier, which surprised me.

[bowserknight]

I thought he was harder, because the room is smaller but the platforms can often defend you when the flames fall. I haven't found this out myself, when I saw this the first time I thought "Ah no, not again a maze-puzzle..." because I've seen such things in many other games. After I beat this boss I actually died because of one of those fishes^^

[Drewseph0011]

I realize I'm 2 months late, but calm the hell down there buddy, its called a TRAP, which is intentional in the game design. I wanted to trick the player, they need to choose left or right, and clearly they came form the left, so instinctively the only other way is right.

[bowserknight]

You mean me or the other guy?^^

[Drewseph0011]

yes

[NessAndLucied]

That's a great puzzle. Would've caught me off guard. :)
