Super Metroid: Super Metroid - GR2

This is a Super Metroid half-hack which includes some different map layouts and also some ASM tweaks to it. For the most part is is helpful if you remember the original Super Metroid Map layout but all the pathways you would normally take will not be the same! It was purposely made to be also very difficult so this is not meant for beginner players according to Metroid Construction.

Different specifications
• No Ceres station ;
• Certains room connections were changed although it is a half-hack ;
• Some beams have increased firepower ;
• Shinesparking doesn't drain energy, it can performed below 29 energy and you can even cancel it anytime by pressing DOWN button ;
• Gravity Suit doesn't half enemy damage (but it works normally against spikes and other hazardous terrain) ;
• Space jumping behaves in air like in water (mash JUMP button!!!) ;
• X-Ray scope range was changed ;
• Spin jump restart can be achieved by pressing the jump button again in the air ;

¦ New Status Bar
Design of the status bar at the top of the screen was changed, you are now able to view the following three types of information in real-time :
(1) Play Time
(2) Key Inputs
(3) Charge Beam & Speedbooster gauges
To switch between them, press L, R and Item Cancel buttons.
However, display is not updated during certain game sequences (pause screen, item-get message boxes, going down/up an elevator, etc.)

¦ Known Bugs
Half of screen turns black sometimes. Hardly reproducible (related to special blocks?)
