Hack Ideas

[Quote58]

This is the hack ideas thread.
Ideas for any kind of hack can go here. However, the ideas can't be something like "New items" you need to specify what new items. Otherwise it's too general.

Gravity boots - Able to jump really high and ground pound into speed booster blocks that you can't speed boost into normally.

An easy to follow guide to edit the status screen for us noobs, so we can do more things and make room in the status screen for a massive amount of custom items.

Why not a Smart Beam?

The Smart Beam could be guided automatically to every enemy weakpoint, with a small range of course.

BUMP.

Sorry, but I have a good idea.

Instead of modifying how long you have to run before speed boost kicks in, how about making it so that Samus can reach speed boost quicker by running down slopes. That way, if a level designing genius makes a speed booster puzzle that would normally require super duper short charge (the hold 'run button' on certain frames method achieved with whatever tools TAS'ers use), and then 'hide' a slope nearby, that would make for a really cool, erm, thing.

Oh, and if the slope thing was subtly hinted at on the return path after speed booster, that would make for Super Metroid genius!! Think about it. Only the best players who play SM or hacks of it day in, day out, who know the original physics so well, only those veterans would notice perhaps.

I dunno. I'm slightly intoxicated, and that's what I thought about.
It would probably require tons of that ASM stuff, but I think it would be cool.

Can be a good idea in a specific hack. But yeah, i think it can require some asm, or also do a specific BTS allowing speed boost

You are fine, neat idea weterr123.
