So Little Items (SLI) was made for the Zebes Winter Solstice contest on Metroid Construction. The goal was to make a winter themed hack that was based on 3 "special" items. These did not include Missiles, Super Missiles, Power Bombs, or other items that the player may start out with.
The items used for SLI are:
Hack also includes numerous tweaks to the game engine, such as the removal of walljumping, and includes custom music.
Hack is relatively small and also very challenging.

So Little Items (SLI) was made for the MetConst "Zebes Winter Solstice"
hack competition. The premise of this conest is to make a hack based
around 2 or 3 "special" items. These DON'T include Missiles, Super Missiles,
Power Bombs, Energy Tanks, Morph Ball, and Morph Ball Bombs. Any other
item counts toward the 2 or 3 to be used throughout the hack.
Other requirements are:
1. Hack must be larger than 5 rooms. (Save/Map/Refill rooms don't count towards total)
2. Minimum of 1 HEX tweak to the game.
Optional:
1. Room detail to be winter/cold related.
2. Original GFX are allowed, but discouraged.
SLI meets these requirements by:
1. Custom GFX. (Ripped and given to me by Multikillz)
2. Uses 3 "special" items.
HEX tweaks:
1. Door fadeout sped up.
2. Samus no longer loses speed when landing from a spinning jump.
3. Walljumping is disabled.
4. Enemies stay frozen longer.
5. Pause menu leads straight to Equipment Screen.
6. Various other little bits I forgot I did aready.
3 Special Items:
1. Grapple Beam
2. Ice Beam
3. Boost Ball (Made by InsomniaDX) [Hold RUN to charge boost while in Morph Ball Mode]

STORY
------------------------
After the events of SLR, where Samus invaded the Shaktool's
annual Bubble Festival events, and destroyed one promising
hopeful trying to win the Rinka Spawning Championship, the
Shaktool Police are hot on the trail of Samus. Shaktools
everywhere want justice, and Samus is in deep trouble if she
can't manage to find her ship and leave the Shaktool homeworld
of Shaktoolboxia.
Samus must hope and pray that the vengence-seaking Shaktool Police
can't find her. If they do, they will show no mercy, and Samus may
not make it out of the encounter alive! Finding her ship is of
upmost prioty for this felon on the run, and to do so she must cross
the Infinity Canyon. She will need to find some important items,
since she would never think of brining along previously collected
items that might be helpful. But have the Shaktool Police already
found these locations and camped them out? Samus is so nervous, she
even forgot how to walljump!
Will justice be served?
Can the Shaktools find closure?
Will the felon Samus continue her devestating destruction of all that that Shaktools hold most dear?
Will the player feel regret over their previous actions in SLR and just die to any Shaktool?
The future of the Bubble Festival and all of Shaktoolboxia is at stake!
