It's funny that this hack was the one that made me create an account just for the review. This is not a fix, and it's not an improvement. It's a personal preference that makes the entire game worse just so that Samus could feel 'floaty' like in Super Metroid. Samus doesn't fall as fast, but also doesn't jump as fast anymore. It make it horrible to dodge enemies attacks or attempt wall and bomb jumps Super Metroid gravity physics are now the exception to the rule for Metroid games, and quite frankly a feature of its time when the games couldn't update fast enough and so made the character slower. I don't want to discourage the creator from working on more hacks, but this one is clearly not a good idea. | |||

Never like it when subjective changes based on preference are labelled as "improvements" or "fixes." Samus falls slower yes but she also jumps slower since jump and fall speed is tied together. The bomb timing changes are said to not interfere with bomb jumps, apparently they weren't given enough scrutiny because that's exactly what they do. I implore the author to test beyond the first 3 bombs or learn how to bomb jump beyond just mashing the button. (which is still possible here, making the changes to bomb timers even more unnecessary) Overall it feels like Samus is stuck in a tub of molasses the whole game, instead of matching the feel of other Metroid titles. | |||
