This was such an exhilarating experience. I have a few 100% run saves under my belt and I still keep finding small lil nuggets of extra stuff and fun new things to experience and explore. Samus' kit is so diverse and customizable I can't even begin to explain how good of an ebb and flow it has. It becomes instinct, you reach a point of immersion where you completely zone out of this being a friggin .pk3 and not a full game conversion.
From the save system to the clever story-telling through Samus' very in-character dialogue and Metroid's classic visual story telling tie this all up into one of, if not the best mod experience I've had in SRB2. There's so much love and passion put into this that I'm a little sad to see it completed and released.
I have much yet to finish, however - And I know I'll be playing this over and over again to finally complete this mission. Godspeed, Shine - absolutely stellar work! A true magnum opus.
