TAS originally published on 2024-11-26

Super Metroid: Kaizo Edition is a Kaizo hack of Super Metroid on the Super Nintendo. The game's difficulty is janked up to the extreme, with spikes everywhere and progression items placed in very hard to reach areas even for experienced players.

ridley setting the self destruct sequence for 15 seconds is just so awful. I love it

[Cheeb]

The way Samus is staring at the screen implies that that not only are the subtitles coming from her, but she then got owned by a TAS-er. Beautiful

[dr.ratmagius]

How bad could it possibly be?
>see space colony escape timer
Oh. Oh boy.

[TLTheLegend]

Ah, the three horsemen of Super Metroid romhacks: walljump climbing, blind corridors, and doors that require the entire missile stash of the United States of America to get through

[SecularStrategy]

The best part is that I have no idea if these methods are TAS-specific or intended by the ROM maker.

The sequence starting at 15:05 really sets in how sadistic the author of the hack is, but not for the reason you expect; there's nothing about making every single tile need the Morph Ball Bombs that makes that sequence actually harder. Rather, it is intentionally designed to waste your time doing a slow, tedious task. Even a master of the hack, including the TAS, has to endure it. No glitches, no stunts, nothing even visually interesting happening on screen. Just about a whole minute of slowing morph ball bombing through tiles.

... And then is happens again at 20:10...

Samus when explaining her adventure to her bar buddies

[Smogmire]

The humor at 1:32 is great, Samus shaking hands with the therapist.

Finally caught a Simpleflips stream. He repeatedly collected the same missile pack for 20 minutes and fell asleep on stream. Great entertainer he is

[randallross]

Yeah this is impossible without a Nintendo Player's Guide©

Seeing the red morph ball in the thumbnail made me think this was a Sonic hack and we were playing as Knuckles

[aceshighdueceslow]

these are the kinds of TASs that I live for, the ones for games (or mods) that are so difficult that you lose sanity even attempting them. You go through that hardship, then you watch a TASer go "lol, hold my beer" and just absolutely fucking destroy it

[stevewohlwend]

You hit Kraid so hard that reality cracked a little.

Then you hit Ridley hard enough to fix it.

Not only do I think this is diabolical but the bit around 18:35 tells me this really is impossible for a human to achieve. However I adore the amount of work and effort that went into creating this ROM hack, I'm sure it took hours and hours to even finish this project let alone beat it as intended.

[VELVETPERSON]

– How many spikes do we need to make a kaizo mod?
– yes

[TTRPG_Witch_Leon]

I'm not even 10 minutes in and I'm already internally screaming at how hellish this looks.

Tiamat have mercy on my soul, I'm gonna be screaming for a while. 😱

[timroehm]

My god and just when I thought that Super Metroid was hard enough but no this takes the cake of being the hardest kaizo based game I’ve seen yet!

[flakdampler]

When the Chozo put the most disgruntled employee on the task of trapping the planet before they leave

[mecha]

I just love how Samus is roasting the player in the intro cutscene.

[xRocketzFighterx]

Dude these crazy cracked af plays even if TAS is hella cool.
One thing I hate about this hack is how slow the narrow path segments are.
I respect the rom hacker’s sadistic designs both in insane skill but also test our patience with slow segments.
