This video is getting a lot of views right now, so I decided to answer some of the most frequent questions, as well as some potential questions.
*Q:* How to play this hack? From the link in the description I can get only a patch, but not the ROM itself.
*A:* Authors of hacks can't provide already hacked ROMs because of legal issues, so they post their hacks as patches (*.ips, *.bps, etc.) To apply these patches, I recommend Flips (download link in the description). The following steps will help you to not mess up:
- Start Flips, press "Apply patch";
- Select the patch file you downloaded (In this case: *.bps file);
- Select the clean ROM file of the game (In this case: USA version of the game);
- Select the path to the patched ROM.
And there you have it, you can play that patched ROM on emulator.
*Q:* What is difference between Normal mode and True Ending mode?
*A:* True Ending mode is not just a hard mode. It actually changes a lot of things, forcing you to find hidden paths to progress. The items order is changed a lot, in first 10 minutes of video I get Super Missiles, Normal Missiles and Speed Booster, but no Morph Ball or Bomb. You will look on these locations from different angle, than in Normal mode. Of course, this mode is way harder than Normal. I recommend you to complete Metroid: Zero Mission with 15% or getting secret message with shinespark in Metroid Fusion. Then you will be ready to play True Ending mode and not struggle with it much.
*Q:* How to unlock True Ending mode?
*A:* You have to complete Normal Mode with the following requirements:
- Kill Mother Brain and/or Mecha Ridley;
- Destroy all metroids in five special rooms in Bionicle;
- Visit the room here: ua-cam.com/video/bnf3CL-biRc/v-deo.html and get the "New game mode is unlocked" message.
*Q:* How to fight Nightmare?
*A:* First time you meet Nightmare in a Topsecret Area when collection Morph Ball, but you can't actually fight him until the end of game. After breaking the tube and return to the surface in nighttime, you can go back to the Pirates' Lab and fight him. If you feel the gravity in the lab is more floaty than normal, Nightmare awaits you. Once you defeated him, you can go back to surface again and it will be filled with green plants. This is the true ending. Note, that you are not required to collect 100% of items to fight Nightmare.
*Q:* I can't open the gate to the water tube in the Bionical, through I am playing on True Ending mode. Why?
*A:* In order to unlock this gate, visit the Topsecret Area in Acead (where you collected Morph Ball) and search for the room with ton of grey pirates. You should be able to kill them with plasma.
*Q:* I can't get to _that_ room, it is just a wall / gate for me. What's wrong?
*A:* True Ending mode features some rooms that you can't access in Normal mode (marked with purple on the map). Specifically, you can't access these rooms: 1:00, 43:43, 2:26:26. You are probably playing on Normal mode, so check out walkthrough on Normal mode: ua-cam.com/video/bnf3CL-biRc/v-deo.html
*Q:* Are there any sequence breaks in your walkthrough?
*A:* While I use some advanced tricks such as wall jumps or bomb jumps, I mostly use them for collecting Missile or other expansion, but I don't use them to get any major upgrades. Except, I collected my first Power Bomb Tank here: 1:24:50. This does not really break the sequence, you are expected to get Power Bomb shortly, after the Ridley fight. The reason I did this is becuase I didn't want to re-visit Rocava for the clean up.
*Q:* Where can I get additional information for this hack?
*A:* You can check for endings list, map and ask for the help on MetroidConstructions forums: forum.metroidconstruction.com/index.php?topic=5645.msg72047
Do the requirements have to be in order?
@@elmaliwuas1282 no, order does not matter.
@@Little_Mac_12127 thanks
So. Have you tried Metroid dread?
@@user-oh2vt7cl1c yes, I completed it several times
This guy beat the True Ending route without saving once. Absolutely amazing. Good job, Mikhail.
It is interesting that they managed to transfer the AM2R music "intact" since normally in these cases an arrangement is usually made due to hardware limitations.
The GBA, despite its audio limitations (including the lack of a dedicated sound chip), was capable of playing music in CD quality.
I felt bad for Arachnus, poor guy stood no chance.
I feel he was supposed to have been fought *_waaaay earlier_* than Mikhail did.
Just a feeling. 😂
Hard mode completely changing the player's upgrade/boss progression is something else.
The shinespark handling is top notch in this play through!
Thanks! I really do like shinespark in GBA Metroids. It is easy once you understand that you can activate shinespark by pressing A (not in somersault jump) and choose a direction for a brief moment by D-pad. It is more manageable than in Super Metroid.
Talk about environmental story telling! this mod has a terrific introduction and lighting effects.
I would have like seen key items being earned in a more classic backtrack progression where an obstacle is presented and you are actively looking for the item to progress instead of having them mostly hidden and scattered.
the normal mode seems to be more like that..
I have never seen a metroid game where you get the Screw attack before the morph ball
Super Missiles before Normal Missiles, Speed Booster before Morph Ball, too.
This room hack is amazing! It has AM2R music, I love it
Room hack?
@@asra-5180 yeah
I noticed that too. there was a lot considered in this
Отличное прохождение 👍
Nice playthrough! Mac
I'm currently playing the original version.
Thanks! I hope you have played or will play Metroid Fusion, too.
@@Little_Mac_12127 M.fusion beat some years ago🎮 Also, the Metroid series is a lot of fun, but it takes a lot of energy to beat. lol
I can't believe I actually needed a guide for this hack... btw masterpiece
The first boss is easily the most cancerous one too, and the objects are wayy too hidden at times, asides from these gripes, this is a masterpiece of a hack
@@luis-sophus-8227 Ew a transphobe
Nintendo should hire people like this showing the love for Metroid series in one it's so cool watching it sucks Nintendo shut it down 😢
Personally, I was never a fan of Zero Mission's enforced stealth section, but to each their own. I have a more important question: Wasn't it a bit of a risk, not getting the Morphball for so long, when a player might get soft-locked?
Okay, I'm sorry if this comment ended up a "collection of favourite moments", I swear that wasn't my intention!
But as I watched this, I couldn't help it. I'm not even finished yet, and I'm gonna post the ones that stuck with me the most, at least so far.
Sorry!
If this is too long for you, feel free to ignore it! 😅
21:36 AM2R sountrack, yo what the hell?! 😳
Not that I'm complaining, but... that caught me off guard.
27:52 *Oh, great. Metroid Fusion vibes.* T__T
36:02 And now THAT's back! _Wonderful!_ 💀
Oh well, at least _thank goodness_ the "Yellow Alert" music (when you lose the Space Pirates) actually stops playing when you enter another room.
I love the Zero Mission stealth section, but not getting to hear that quiet suspenseful music again, after being spotted *once* was kind of a bummer. Glad that's fixed here!
38:28 I didn't know the Space Pirates were lowkey Samus' fanboys. 😂
Okay, I get it, they're trying to replicate her Power Suit, _but c'mon guys, I mean,_ LOOK AT THAT!
Might as well make this place a museum!
41:16 Okay, _that_ is freaking cool!
The fact that you can explore the lab where you fought Mother Brain _(or I guess just a regular biocomputer in this case)_ and find it completelly in ruins is such a neat and immersive detail!
Reminds me of the beginning of Super Metroid.
44:15 Oh my God, FINALLY!
Gotta praise the makers of this hack for putting the Morph Ball so late in the game.
One of the most iconic features of the series, yet these guys challenge you to navigate around without it.
Quite a fun and interesting change of dynamic *_oh, this bolds POORLY._* (44:30)
47:02 MORE Metroid Fusion vibes!
This finna be my favourite hack ever, not only from the huge ammount of content drawn from other games (even non Metroid ones), but also for how carefully they are crafted and used in this game!
Like the design of the doors, using the Zero Mission design for the "Chozo ruins" locations, while the Fusion design is used for the "Space Pirate facilities" locations.
I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so all these little details just make me fawn over! 😊
1:05:42 *Absolute Matrix dodge right there. Respect.* 😎👍
EDIT:
1:13:12 Oh, that is SUCH A COOL IDEA to ramp up Kraid's boss fight, holy shit! 😃
But then... I guess in this game's story, Kraid is not a leader of the Space Pirates, but rather... _a native marine lifeform?_ 🤔
*Huh.* 🤨 Not sure if I like the change or not, but okay. His water boss fight is cool and that's what counts! 😁
1:18:28 *And of course, these assholes were responsible for the water disappearing.*
It wasn't enough to build a secret lab to kidnap and experiment upon local wildlife, was it?
_Noooo~! These Space Pirates had to go the extra mile and_ *drain all the fucking water and devastate the surface's biome!*
Bruh, now I can't wait to see Samus incinerate their entire base.
Just hope it doesn't explode the planet! 😰
All that gorgeous underground fauna and flaura deserves to be protected, not become collateral damage!
1:20:22 That's cool that they made that boss a Space Pirate weapon. Although originally a Federation creation, I always thought that thing and Nightmare fit the Space Pirates' thematic more.
_Though damn, their maintenance is garbage, cause that security cyborg has seen better days._ That, or it got fucked up by the Biology Lab's self destruction.
(btw, Ridley's theme has no business fitting that fight so well) 😁👌
1:26:00 _Oh great. Let me guess:_ *we finna find Metroids?* 😑
Damn, if that's the case, I'm surprised the entire fauna and flora of this planet is still kicking. Guess *these* Space Pirates have proper containment measures? _(take notes, you Tallon IV losers)_
1:47:01 AIN'T NO WAY, DUDE!
They turned Serris into fucking Dirge?! AWW, HELL NAH!! 😱
1:55:50 Oh wow. That is a soundtrack that, personally, I think suits Yakuza better than the original Fusion track.
So ominous...! Fitting for a spider.
*But of course, it goes completely bonkers on that phase 2.* 😑
So I'm guessing, in the context of this hack's story, Yakuza is a Space Pirate bioweapon infiltrating the local fauna? Either for some poaching duty or just field testing? _Vause as crazy as this planet's fauna is, I doubt ANY natural creature would've done_ *that* (1:56:03) _after losing its limbs._
EDIT II:
2:15:22 ... Huh. 😕
Y'know, considering how absolutelly *overpowered* you would be by this point, I can't help but wonder _what could possibly_ recquire you to avoid being seen by the search lights.
I mean, what could possibly be so strong to face you at that point?!
Unless they actually seal away that item at the top? That's the only thing that would discourage me from getting found out.
2:28:06 OH MY GOD, this is the best thing ever!
You "freed the water"! YES!! 😍
_I would honestly be happy if that was the ending:_ the water returned back to the surface and Samus just goes back yo her ship and leaves. Mission accomplished! 😁
2:33:14 _Oh._ 😳
_Right._
_Somehow, I had completelly forgotten about Nightmare._
2:38:17 _YES!_ 😭
Best ending ever...
Samus returns life to the surface...!
We need more official Metroid games ending like this: Samus returning the hope of life to a devastated planet, not ending with it being blown up!
Thank you for this comment! Glad that some people actually watch the whole thing. It was interesting to read your thoughts. Just to make sure, do you know that this is walkthrough on True Ending mode and it is very different from Normal Mode (ua-cam.com/video/bnf3CL-biRc/v-deo.html)? Some people actually got confused in this.
@@Little_Mac_12127Hmm, I saw comments mentioning that, plus the beginning was kind of a giveaway.
And yet, I'm not sure I would be as thrilled to see the Normal playthrough. Everyone is making it sound like its progression was more similar to classic Metroid games.
I liked this one because it revamped things a little bit! _Taking so long to get Morph Ball must've been exausting for you the first time around._ 🤣😅
Oh well, since you made a video on it, I might as well check it out. It'll be fun at least.
But I'm already expecting that _this_ will still remain the most fun experience! 😁
@@MrDibara It is fun to WATCH, it is PAIN to play, I like pain though
I thought the only one who appreciated the little details
For me this is one of if not the best hackrom of Zero Mission created so far
Can you please make a video about other endings? Like all other ones in one short.
I know for the fact that there are 3 others mabey more. One for runaway, one by no defeating mother brain, and one for only unblocking space jump but not knowing where space pirates base is.
Seeing fusion bosses in zero mission feels cursed.
The true ending route could be hard but with speed booster and super missile are ok i guess, and nice run without save the game.
well done!
What emulator are you using? The framerate looks very smooth.
I am using BizHawk with mGBA core. It runs much smoother than VisualBoyAdvance, but sometimes can drop frames, too. I used AVI recording option in emulator, which never drops frames and records in original resolution (240×160) with any codec you want (I used Lagarith Lossless, so it does compress video file but does not drop any quality). After that you can edit this video with VirtualDub or FFmpeg (if you know how to use terminal).
oooooh !!
Another Metroid romhack!
I want it
btw, you can use a shinespark to insta kill imago
Why do you use the bomb trick when you have spacejump...
Interesting, game. Did you hacked the game and patched?
so do you have to get 100% items to fight nightmare?
I am not sure about 100% of items, but you definitely need to see night-time desert before fighting him
@@Little_Mac_12127 can confirm you do not need 100% as I only found 5 etanks
Nah, you just have to clean out the Metroids and unlocked all those doors and secret to get Nightmare unlocked, not 100%.
@@Fredcat11 yup! I beat it with the true ending a few days ago. The nightmare was a tiny bit a letdown just cuz with the beam going through him it was very easy, but getting to the surface and seeing the vegetation grown was fully worth it. Ive now started spooky mission 2
@@mcglubz Spooky Mission 2 is godly until you get close to the end which is really dissapointing... sadly
my flips didn't recognize the bps file to apply in the rom patch, why?
because its a different file kind. You have to get the patcher related to the file to patch it
And make sure you have a fresh zero mission rom too
I'm confused how did you screw attack into the top secret area at around 43:46 ? for me its just a solid grey wall.
You are probably playing on Normal mode. True Ending adds some new areas, which are not present in Normal mode. You can check Normal mode walkthrough on my channel, if you need any help to progress.
@@Little_Mac_12127 Ah thank you
nice my brother
Aw nice❤
the number of extremely punishing, mandatory, jumping sections in this game is infuriating. Why do I have to travel so far/wait so long to attempt it again?
What's with u shooting the wall for no reason around the 2 minute mark?
The 4 "bubbles" in the middle disappear one by one if you're following the correct path; Mikhail's just hinting at that
I completed normal mode but there is no True ending option in the difficulty. What am I missing?
According to forum thread, you have to kill Mecha Ridley or Mother Brain. Also you have to get this message: ua-cam.com/video/bnf3CL-biRc/v-deo.html
@@Little_Mac_12127 I did all of this and still no "true ending" What am I doing wrong?
@@PrimeG2 you don't get that message or you don't have that option in menu?
@@Little_Mac_12127 I defeated Mother Brain and Mech Ridley, froze and killed all the Metroids. I received the message “unlocked new game mode” it’s time to leave. When I restart and or check I still don’t see “True Ending”.
@@PrimeG2 you have to finish your game on normal mode. Just go back to your ship.
Is this computer game or you can play using emulator?
emulate
🔥🔥🔥💪🎮❤
1:27:10 are you really supposed to have power bombs by then? I'm stuck in that room without them, but I do not have speed booster or screw attack either... and I just don't know how to get out of that section either :|
On True Ending mode, speed booster is one of the first items you get. If you don't have speed booster, I guess you are playing in normal mode. You can check out normal mode playthrough on my channel.
@@Little_Mac_12127 Aaaaah that's the detail that was missing... Yeah, I am on normal mode indeed. Okay now I get it. I thought the speed booster was somehow needed to get through that tiny gap at the top of the room, turns out I just wasn't patient enough to figure it out the correct way. Aight then thanks!
Imagine true ending with dread difficult :)
I'm almost afraid to ask but I missed Spazer and am now all the way in the Labatory from Bionicle, is it going to be a loooooong time before I can go back to that part of Nurk to claim it?
First of all, Spazer is in Karst (top left corner). Second, as I remember, there is point of no return once hou enter laboratory from Tangle side. If you get through it, you can find your way to Tangle through Mecha Ridley fight, if you have power bombs (which is the case when you are playing on normal mode). Otherwise I don't see any way you can go back to Spazer that early. So, it is quite a long time with no Spazer. It is not that critical, however. You will barely fight pirates with beam weapon, and you can get Screw Attack shortly after restoring Power Suit.
@@Little_Mac_12127 I appreciate your response. I'll keep that in mind then. I'm just now learning how to shinespark chain because of the True Ending mode and your walkthrough so much appreciated on that as well. I'm sure I'll get through it one way or another hahaha.
Edit: spelling / grammar
44:31 *Frozen Nightmare:* Hello there ❄️🤐❄️
please how did you get in the top secret zone ? i couldnt reach it for some reaons please 😭
You are probably playing on Normal Mode, which does not have these top secret zones. Please, read Q&A in the pinned commentary. You can watch playthrough on Normal Mode here: ua-cam.com/video/bnf3CL-biRc/v-deo.html
@@Little_Mac_12127 ooohhhh alrigh thanks 😭
Where is the wave beam in the true ending?
Watch from 2:03:00 to 2:04:00
Wow i am Confused xD
Looks like i didn't follow the steps and immediately go fighting the rushing monster, Wait what can i call that again. The one and only infected by X ( speed booster )
The one that gave you Speed Booster in Fusion?
That was Serris.
am i the only one who's missing a missile tank in karst ? i have 14 of 15
You can always check map, that was posted by creator of this hack on MetroidConstruction forums. cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1090348057113137222/1091342629372973056/SPOILER_XLP5biKAwfzWyjS.png
@@Little_Mac_12127 its fine, it took a while but i found it
Desert sound:is a metroid-рождение
Что это значит?
Gracias thanks Obrigado
Wheres Ridley?
1:34:35
For GBA?
Yes, this is hack of Metroid: Zero Mission, which was released on Game Boy Advance
am2r music wow
For about 35 minutes you get no power ups in the beginning after like minute 15. Thats really bad. And it is way way too big of levels and theres too many with nothing in them. For that whole e0 minutes. After that it gets interesting, but dont knock off zero mission and do it that much worse. Thats probably why nintendo cancels projects like this. Because it is worse than the original.
I see what your going for, but the levels are too big. Becides that, i see alot of effort being put in, and if ignoring the half hour of just snaking threw crazy mazes, its interesting seeing all these rooms smoshed together and all the ways you can make mazes in a sweet game like metroid. And im not even sure if this was a short cut or what!!! It was incredibly boaring to watch for that half hour.
If this was a rom i could just download i would do it in a heart beat. I would get them all, but i think thats banned which is lame.
Maybe i can with sonic games? Hahaha
44:19: *Samus:* Finally !!! That Damn Morph Ball 😮💨
download
Shut it down!!!👇
38:31 I Love these references to the other Metroid Games
36:02 Bro, I'm fuckinh scare in this part 💀 (Nice Gameplay🍷🗿)

1:25:30 Full of Traps
1:07:44 Bro, that is very Troll 😶
1:55:32 For a moment I thought he was going to Space Jump and just skip the Boss but then I remembered it's 100% Gameplay 🫠 lol
