Metroid Fusion: Metroid Fusion: Special Edition

Metroid Fusion: Special Edition is a hack using “Sequence Breaking Fusion” as its base that focuses on giving a facelift to the visuals, alongside many gameplay tweaks and room changes
created by me and other people to create the “definitive” edition of the game. It contains the following:

-Much of the game recolored to give it a less overly-saturated (but still colorful) look.
-Better map screen and HUD graphics.
-More compact font (with text tweaks to center better with the width of said font).
-Bomb-jumping and single-wall wall-jumping reimplemented.
-Many new sequence breaks added (early Power Bombs are the most important step).
-Faster door transitions and elevators.
-Optional (and slightly customized) hard mode.
-Many small level design tweaks.
-Some old/unused content restored.
-You can stand on most of the computers (yes, really).

You can see the MetConst forum post about it here, which always gets updates first: https://forum.metroidconstruction.com/index.php/topic,5392.0.html

v3.0 - Area 5/6 Update + Various Graphical Tweaks
