| Description |
This mod was created out of a long-lived frustration at how linear[limiting] the game
is. While it was not to the extreme Fusion took linearity[which to be fair was for
story telling reasons], SM still has a fair amount. This mod aims to remove as much
linearity as possible granting the player the freedom to go nearly anywhere from
the moment they set foot on Zebes.
Missile, Super Missile and Super Bomb triggered doors have been changed to regular
doors. Some gray doors have also been removed. There have been many landscape
changes in various locations, item movement and other tweaks to make the game more
fluid and less irritating. These changes are not so dramatic as to change the "feel"
of the of game to any great degree.
These changes might seem like they would make the game easier, but this is not true.
You, the game player, will now have the freedom to go to areas of the game you might
not be properly equipped for. This will present added dangers and risks. The landscape
has been modified so that if you go to an area you needed an item to exit from, you
will still be able to exit. In other words, the terrain has been changed to prevent
players from getting stuck anywhere. Some enemies have been added to some select rooms
but no damage/hp stats have been changed. Some items were moved to make room to account
for or accommodate terrain changes.
While infinite bomb jumping and other such ultra difficult tricks are not required
either, they can't hurt. Wall-jumping however is a skill you will need if the High-jump
boots are not at the top of your list of items to get first. And Maridia without
the Gravity suit will, as always, be a pain.
While not required, it is recommended that the Morph Ball and Bombs still be the first
items acquired.
This mod was made out of a love of Super Metroid and the fun playing it. It is
a sincere wish that everyone enjoys reliving this game with a different twist!
