Been wondering that after playing Undertale Yellow (great game, btw)

Romhacks would fall into a different category, more like modding the main game.

    AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake)

    It’s the story of Metroid 2, told in the style of Super Metroid. It adds a bunch of quality of life features and also adds new content that fits the world.

    If you like 2D Metroid, you’ll love this game.

    Spoilers for my favorite part, just play do not read

    The added Thermal Power Plant escape sequence was amazing.

    You fight your way in, standard area. You fight a boss, who after being defeated begins a power plant overload.

    Now you have a classic escape sequence. What you don’t know is that the timer (overload meter) is not actually a timer, it moves up based on your progress. When you dug into the plant there were a number of slow moments, so now you have to slowly go through them in reverse. Finally you reach the top, the airlock. The slowest moving doors in the world. KABOOM!

    You think you’ve failed. But Samus lives. You have 1 HP and have to limp two screens over to the healing room.

    It’s a cinematic moment in a video game. I’ll never forget it.
