Fusion and Zero Mission: "It's really cool. We have this feature where Samus can maintain her speed boost by shinesparking onto angled platforms." Super Metroid: "Hold my beer..."

And then came the hack creator, the modder created hacks where samus unstopable shine-sparking even fly into angled platform and wall... Oh yeah her armor model in SM is pretty annoying since they use of her energy to maintain shinespark, glad people of community made their own without the corny annoying feature of it

That's it. From now on these speedruns need to be narrated by the TASer to explain how these glitches work. Charging up a shine spark while standing still and then, on top of that, using it to clip through entire biomes is ludicrous!

[@AkumaAPN]

But I would appreciate an explanation of why the graphics were messed up, and how they were fixed. Lol

[@Brycepop]

From the author's comments: "A secondary encode is being provided with fixed graphics, thanks to the creation of a LUA script for Bizhawk by PJBoy that alters the VRAM. All Super Metroid TASes created with Bizhawk and Lsnes are compatible with each other. More specifically, this LUA script automatically: Centers misaligned doors (to prevent permanent graphical issues) Allows graphics to scroll & update while using X-Ray Prevents graphical errors that would occur if Samus moved faster than 16px per frame Follows Samus while she is off-screen (doesn't work yet, but will soon) Fortunately, VRAM doesn't impact a Super Metroid TAS's ability to sync."
