Super Metroid Hangtime (Hack) Tool Assisted Speedrun In 00:02

Tool Assisted Speedrun

This is a run I recently made out of Acherons hack Hangtime, which is heavily Grapple Beam centered. The making of the run was greatly helped by the newly discovered morph/depmorph gilitch while grapple jumping (discovered by Japanese player gstick).


Tool Assisted - these games are played using a emulator at super slow speeds and save states. The goal is to provide entertainment by showing off game glitches and beating the game as fast as possible.

All these hacks are cool and all and I admit they are most impressive and challenging, but I have not seen a metroid hack made purely with a balance of challenge and exploration like the original.

I think that would be a true feat of talent. To create a metroid experience with both challenge, story, and environmental exploration, if it's possible that is...

@Waxer3929 Super Metroid: Redesign?

LIES! I THOUGHT IT WAS 2 SECONDS.

@BrimstoneLandscapes One's mileage may vary.

People don't think Tetris isn't really challenging at all, same with Scrabble, but that doesn't constitute that some people may have a difficult time with it.

Again, I'm not looking for a version with insane challenges ultimately requiring a TAS, but one with exploration, atmosphere, and possibly story through the use of the game mechanics. I think that, is a measure of true talent and imagination.

@Waxer3929 The original Super Metroid isn't really challenging at all.

@Genshyu 2 minutes not 2 seconds

[TenderLover]

wow that was kinda gay. just grappling hooked all over the damn place back into the ship

[rubik30]

@Genshyu the first 00 is zero hours and the second one is 02 and it's 2 minutes...

@Cpadolf0 Requires advanced moves that were used for freedom and speedrunning in the original. DOn't get me wrong, I love it, but I think what Waxer is saying is basically just the same idea of "Super" with different level design. Also, "Redesign' makes significant changes to the engine.
