Too bad SEGA won't make a mobile port of S3K.
The only thing this hack needed was widescreen.

None of them.
Romhacks are shit.

I can't pick one.

Project Base is a massive quality of life improvement to Super Metroid. Not life or death difference, but noticeable refinement of the controls and movement. No real reason to play through vanilla Super Metroid unless you've never touched it before. Get the one that doesn't change the map, I think there was one that does mix things up.

FF6 Beyond Chaos randomizer. Version 58, using the speedcave modifier to be specific. It generates a maze with heal/save points every few floors, and gives you 12 out of 14 people at level 1. Three groups of four ala Kefka's Tower, and you don't know what you'll run into out there. Just about everything is randomized. Your team, items in chests, enemies, bosses, even the coliseum. It's FF6, the dungeon crawler experience. Keep in mind, at least version 63 and possibly onward only give you 4 people to start with, just like the ancientcave modifier does. So you have to go hunt down more party members as you advance, which really slows things down. Get 58.

Super Mario Land 2 color hack not only makes it a GBC color game, it also modifies the code to remove all slowdown that was originally present. Unless you love the original greenscale look, use this hack to play.

SotN quality hack. Pic related. Gets rid of the black borders.

Explain.

FFVI: Return of the Dark Sorceror. It's so hard to explain why it's the best, but if you play it you'll understand

What does this romhack do?

>> No.4792846

>>4792841
It combines Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles into a single ROM so the complete game can be more easily played on emulators.

>> No.4794182

Talking about sonic 3, I really liked the Amy hack. She can't ball up like sonic, so no spindash or jumping on enemies; she can peel out though. To make up for her lack of ball form, she has the hammer. Hitting an enemy while in midair lets you bounce real high, and like in Adventure, you can hammer jump, which is very satisfying. It can bust open knuckles path too

A Sonic 3 & Knuckles rom existed since forever. Complete adds a bunch of customizable options. It's best that you just read this.

Sonic ++ adds the Spindash to Sonic CD, makes it a much more enjoyable game IMO

Unironically this. Romhacks always have shitty level design and/or stolen assets.

From games other than the one being hacked, genius. RMMI for instance steals its level select theme from Atlantis no Nazo.

Archael's FFT 1.3
Did not beat it. But it had some great ideas and a fresh take on my favorite retro game.

>> No.4795292

>>4794673
1.3 is really great. It's a little strict though, you really have to stay low level and steal equips to progress. While there are a ton of additions and changes to jobs that allow freedom, you do have to approach many fights in a very specific way.

Monster tactics is also a great fft hack
