Super Metroid: Subversion - HARD MODE + Skip Varia/Plasma Challenge
I'm pretty sure this wasn't supposed to be possible.
Subversion hard mode has reduced i-frames, faster enemies... and most importantly for this challenge, double environmental damage (which I wasn't completely aware of going in).
I wanted to get a run of "Skip Varia Suit" and "Skip Plasma Beam" from the Challenges menu, but I found it fairly manageable on normal mode, and I wasn't that interested in playing hard mode on its own, so combining them seemed like a good idea. It very much was not.
Moonfall in Subversion is incredibly powerful because of TN578's strong gravity, and it solves two bottlenecks in Varialess hard mode: skipping the Shaktool wait in Raging Pit, and clipping the tube to Power Bombs in Magma Chamber. Crystal flashes are unavailable until Power Bombs, and the combination of heat damage + lava damage + hard mode is completely ridiculous.
