[2026-03-19] Map: Super Mega-Metroid X-2

[RT-55J]

I am home sick in terrible pain, but the pain is such that sitting up in my chair and moving my computer mouse is the least painful thing I can do. :)

Anyhow, this is all to say that I finished a map of Super Mega-Metroid X-2 that was 95% done a few months ago (all that it needed was some color correction and general polish). Specifically, this is a hack of the 2017 revision that adds save points, rather than the 2013 original. Either way, it's not what you'd expect from the title. Rather being substantially inspired by Mega Man X2, it's a one-hit-death kaizo-difficulty hack that just takes some tilesets from X2. Also, rather than any maverick-lookin-fellas, you fight bosses such as "the worst Spore Spawn you've ever seen," and "the worst worst Ridley you've ever seen," and "Draygon on LSD," and other such pleasant folk. Overall, the hack is on the absolute edge of "humanly possible."

(If you can't tell, I'm not particularly fond of this hack. I think I picked it out of spite, and because it's ludicrously wide.)

Unless you're a fervent practitioner of self-flagellation, my recommendation for consuming this hack is via GaRan's excellent TAS (that's what I did).

As always, the map's on the maps page.


PSA: If you're looking for a map of Super Junkoid DX, you can find one on drb's site. I meant to make one a few months ago, but life was busy. Maybe I'll ask him if I can edit his map to have all the visual snazziness of my map of the original Super Junkoid, but that depends on me having the time and motivation.
