One of my favorite things about GDQs is always after it's over and I start combing through the uploaded runs and find gems like this that I had no idea were even in the event that year
I missed this because of school, so I'm really glad to get to see it here! I had no idea what "rotation" was supposed to mean, makes sense now. What an interesting surprise.
Was anyone else have the first thoughts of "Oh, the speedrunners window is crooked... better fix- wait, WTF!? Samus' ship is sidew- WTF?! Ohhh... now it makes sense."
Yo! This hack's still being worked on, and I've in fact began working on rotating Crocomire. He moves vertically now, but the graphics are just broken for now.
Hey man, good to see you here. Do you think you'll make some changes to the things you removed/added that the runners commented about in the run? For example removing gates and adding platforms where not exactly necessary.
You're the one behind this hack? First off.. great job. It's very simple yet VERY entertaining haha. Second, how is that going to work exactly? Unless you did some minor changes to the room he's in anyway..
Crocomire's hitbox is mostly solid, so it's possible to just stand on his belly and shoot down into his mouth (or walljump off him in vanilla). I'll have to figure something out for the acid though.
It sucks this wasn't on the schedule. I have to plan out what I can cause work and life make it nearly impossible to watch most of the gdq events. Thanks UA-cam reposts
I'm disappointed that all the graphics weren't rotated as well, but aside from that small(and picky) detail, this was fantastic! Great job to the runner and to the creator of the hack.
Why did they remove the Ridley fight at the beginning? Also it would've been interesting to save the animals, just to see the room and the changes in the cutscene if there are any.
It's quite common for romhacks to remove Ceres station due to it being the same as the standard game. You can technically 'hack' Ceres station but it's very easy to break the game doing so and there's not much you can do with it, so they choose to remove it.
The reason Ceres isn't in this is because I haven't done that area yet. You might think it'd be an easy thing to do, but Ceres uses mode7 rooms (the elevator shaft and Ridley''s room), which are really difficult to edit at all. Plus Ceres as an area is pretty broken anyway. I do plan to make Ceres eventually too, but it'll still take a while.
Eh? "Rotation"? I must have missed this during the marathon.... What is it, like, they alternate controllers between runners or something? Wait no there's only one runner..... why is the camera sideways? Some kind of bad pun or something? Seriously what is this supposed to **game starts** WHAT IN THE EVER-LOVING FOOTLONG FUCK
It'd take forever. Instead of walljumping up to certain doors you would have to bomb jump, which in itself could add at least a minute to some rooms. You'd have to clear out every enemy in the room to make sure they don't hit you while bomb jump, walljump up and shoot the door, and then bomb jump all the way back up. It'd probably double the length of the run and cause for some softlocks in areas.
Well then you're going to make the romhack inherently less fun and therefore no one would run it. It's a trade off. Not a true 1:1 rotation, but it's actually bearable to play this way.
8:04 run start
It's like all those We are number one/Nutshack/Bee Movie-edits.
"Super Metroid but the whole map and all enemies are rotated by 90 degrees"
all but crocomire's room
It would be really interesting to see this run redone with moonfall.
In all the times I searched for Super Metroid among the various GDQ videos, how is it just now that I'm seeing this? lol
One of my favorite things about GDQs is always after it's over and I start combing through the uploaded runs and find gems like this that I had no idea were even in the event that year
After having played through super metroid 4 times, watching this killed my brain
Bradley Durr it's ya boi
I've played through Super Metroid probably 100 times now and playing this was a mindfuck.
yaboi
Playing this without knowing bomb jump is hell
4 times?? Gotta pump those numbers up! Those are rookie numbers!
Man, those elevators had me giggling... every. time.
I imagine Samus just sliding to the right like in Michael Jackson videos, lol.
Five terrifying words: Super Metroid Rotation: suitless Maridia.
Suitless Norfair more like.
They rotated the camera, lol
Cheeky bastards.
Sure did deliver!
And I thought watching the reverse boss order blew my mind! Playing this hack is quite impressive, good job.
I missed this because of school, so I'm really glad to get to see it here! I had no idea what "rotation" was supposed to mean, makes sense now. What an interesting surprise.
20 seconds into the game, i can tell that this run will be amazing :D
Was anyone else have the first thoughts of
"Oh, the speedrunners window is crooked... better fix- wait, WTF!? Samus' ship is sidew- WTF?! Ohhh... now it makes sense."
What did they do to the Crocomire fight in this hack. I laughed at the thought of it.
Nothing. Crocomire's room is unchanged.
Yo!

When I saw the name I thought it was just SM but they flipped the TV on its side to mess with the runner. This is much crazier than that
Whew, this guy really knows what he's doing. What a run.
Awesome commentary by Straevaras
100x better if you tilt your monitor so Samus is walking on the walls.
That was a fun version of Super Metroid to watch, I'll have to try this mod out myself. :)
I love that the live stream is rotated.
The rotated face cam was a nice touch.
Every year i wait for the kill vs. save The animals donation war
This was way harder to find than it should have been.
What is this madness?!?! What an amazing run :O
nice touch with the rotated camera on the runner
How did I not see this on the schedule?
it was a donation incentive... they added it the same day it was run
Where is the Metroid Prime 2 Speed run then?
after this
Once Mother Brain 1 is done, he just randomly shoots a single missile into the supposedly dead brain.
And I'm laughing my ass off.
Yeah got me pretty hard too.
holy shit, i have never heard of this?
I like how the camera screen is also rotated.
This was crazy. Awesome, though! Also, forget the frames, save Samus by saving the animals!!
Joseph Hawkins you can still donate
"...if you were bad at your wall jumps..." that's definitely me! Lol 😆
I remember the twitch chat during this game. It was salty because they had the player camera rotated
Step 1: Turn screen rotation on your phone off
Step 2: Rotate your phone 90 degrees
Step 3: Enjoy regular Super Metroid.
Yeah right "regular super metroid", with Samus glued to the wall?
The screen ratio would also be wrong.
It sucks this wasn't on the schedule. I have to plan out what I can cause work and life make it nearly impossible to watch most of the gdq events. Thanks UA-cam reposts
Michael Greene it was a incentive so it was randomly added
+Blueyandicy makes sense. Thanks for the info
Michael Greene np man
Great job, Feral
That Mod looks great. And the speedrun, too :)
I'm disappointed that all the graphics weren't rotated as well, but aside from that small(and picky) detail, this was fantastic! Great job to the runner and to the creator of the hack.
I want to see Super Metroid Rotation - Reverse Boss Order :D that would be insanely cool if it was possible.
23: 46 Chozo the Elevator
I love how the web cam is sideways, but its also really weird.
Moon falling strats would be really cool with the rotation
I wonder if there's an S-rotation. One rotated left instead of right.
In vanilla Super Metroid...you know...the one that ISN'T rotated.
Why did they remove the Ridley fight at the beginning? Also it would've been interesting to save the animals, just to see the room and the changes in the cutscene if there are any.

5 seconds into the run WTF , haha I love it
This reminds me of the inverted castle in Symphony of the Night
After watching that my eyes are all weird and I can't shake the feeling that the comments here are all along the floor.
Why haven't I heard of this game before?
I was thinking the same thing. its fan made using the game engine of super metroid. Another fan made is Hyper Metroid.
The camera..! nice..
Instead of calling it Full Fally, why not call it the Fall Halfy?
Does this mean we'll finally get to see Parallel Worlds sometime soon?
41:03-04 why no dmg from motherbrains meatballs??
If you hit them directly in the center they do no damage. This works the same in the standard game as well.
everything I look at now feels sideways 😵💫
Feralick!
this is nuts
They should definitely run Rotation item randomizers
Sweet vertigo Jesus, my brain
Great Kraid fight!
Eh? "Rotation"? I must have missed this during the marathon.... What is it, like, they alternate controllers between runners or something? Wait no there's only one runner..... why is the camera sideways? Some kind of bad pun or something? Seriously what is this supposed to **game starts** WHAT IN THE EVER-LOVING FOOTLONG FUCK
He never faces Crocomire?
i got lost un the first 15 seconds.
The map appears to be rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Is there an anti-clockwise / 270 degree version?
It's certainly possible but is not being worked on afaik.
Rotation 2 PogChamp
Love the way the player camera is also rotated XD
Where can I watch your lives?
Has the 2017 season begun yet?
Twitch.tv/feral5x
Kojakt
Thanks, I watched it, it was my first live season, I loved it, too bad they only do it twice a year...
I recommend watching this on a laptop and rotating it so the layout is "normal"
hundredpercentjuice lol
i have on old PC Intel, you can press Ctrl+Alt and arrows
Cool
If the map stayed the same and we just watched samus running on the walls would be cool
Anyone know if reverse boss order is viable on SM Rotation?
The facecam is also sideways.
Your rate for collecting items is 25%
See you next mission!
Echt schade, dass das Video so verdammt leise ist...
that first elevator freaked me out.
also do they work the same way by pressing down or is it left/right?
Cris Turner up/down activates them.
this is a pretty accurate chilean simulator
53:40 "So fuck you to everyone."
what a time to be alive.
watched this in bed. looked normal.
I don't know what I expected with "rotation," but it wasn't this.
BUT.... BUT HOW DOES CROCOMIRE
Well THAT'S different...
This is madness xD
Dafuk is this?!
11:23 I cannot un-see...
Wouldn't be moonfall be a pretty good thing to utilise in this mod?
So... the Rotation hack, instead of a Mach Ball, has a Mach Fall. :P
Oh man.. Epic :D
So moonfall strats for super metroid -90° rotation next year...?
48:38
This is the stupidest hack i've ever seen. And i love it
***** I count that one as a "mod" as all you do is switch the music. And when it comes to mods,you KNOW nothing can beat Macho Dragons in Skyrim
sliding right into the dm's
Remember this? Remember this old trick? Well, it's easy now I guess.
1. Why is it called Rotation
2. Why is the audio so damn low?
The game is rotated 90 degrees relative to the original Super Nintendo game "Super Metroid".
This is the raw feed. They'll upload a fixed version later.
This has to be one of the craziest mods i've ever seen, this beats Dark Souls upside down mod omg (@_@).
You know a game is well designed when you can rotate the camera 90° and still make it payable.
I can't wall jump to save my life, is it easier in this hack?
Lol bug kkkkkk
WAAA!
he diddn't save the animals , one dislike
Considering I can't walk jump to save my life I would not beat this game
Wall jump not walk jump
Dark Matter me neither XD
Soooo we don't get to see Golden Yoshi's Island due to it being a rom hack but this makes it in?? Hmmm...FeelsBadMan
Ricks Wasteland This was a incentive. They meant a donation goal and in return, added this the day of the run.
kinda weak that they added stuff to the game to make it easier.
it was either that or it'll be impossible
Would it? Or would it just take longer?
It'd take forever. Instead of walljumping up to certain doors you would have to bomb jump, which in itself could add at least a minute to some rooms. You'd have to clear out every enemy in the room to make sure they don't hit you while bomb jump, walljump up and shoot the door, and then bomb jump all the way back up. It'd probably double the length of the run and cause for some softlocks in areas.
It wouldn't be impossible in a lot of places that I saw added stuff. It would simply take longer.
Well then you're going to make the romhack inherently less fun and therefore no one would run it. It's a trade off. Not a true 1:1 rotation, but it's actually bearable to play this way.
vvv
