Metroid Prime - IS Glitch ~ Early Power Bomb and Ice Spreader

[juventinorocks]

Would it STILL have the same cut scene of the power bomb even though you already have it?

[ArvaF]

@juventinorocks I believe so, yes.

[97ExelFloorball]

thanx you very very much :D

[souturus]

I try it like 4 or 5 times and I was starting to get angry when magic happens XD

[xXxJaKeZxXx]

Ah I can't get it. I left it sitting for like 20 mins and still nothing

[xxjmp209xx]

Respond to this video...

 THE RIGHT ANGLE IS WHEN IT DOES A SPAZZY LOOKIN SPIN :30 SECOND LATER ....magic

[dragonridley]

There is some great potential here.

[ZackXa]

Worked for me, I had to aim at about a 7:30 angle on the joystick.

[KalterspiegelFan]

Very Nice dude thanx^^now i have powerbombs and the plasma beem xD

[Supermetroidhunter1]

In trilogy they have tried to lock out this glitch

it can still be done but of all the times i have tried

I have only done it one time

there is still a spot that this can be done inbetween the block closer to the lava

[monkeypoo1993]

LMFAO ie spreader before ice beam...

[monkeypoo1993]

basically, the shell around the morph bll dissapears and its just the inside. :D

samus is a ball of energy... doesn't surprise me :3

[bulletsblood]

this works for me, but this don't give me the powerbomb

[ArvaF]

@bulletsblood did you use the boost ball? or in the wii version, ball jumping is enough

[juventinorocks]

@bulletsblood 1 question after you get the power bomb, i assume you still need to do the "boss battle" in the central dynamo in phazon mines.....correct?

[bulletsblood]

@juventinorocks correct!

[juventinorocks]

@bulletsblood ahh thank you......so im guessing that was just a power up xP

[FishStripe]

thx man

[FishStripe]

FUCKING AWEZOME I DID IT!!!!!!!

I DID!!!

on you use PAL right like me?

[Desmo1221]

And how come when u hit the wall it goes directly to power bombs but when I do it does nuthing D:

[Desmo1221]

Does it turn into the blue thingy by itself or I have to stop spinning to find out?

[PBRMasterKai]

It doesn't work for me. The IS thing is a piece of shit since it's impossible to "find the right angle". My ball doesn't rotate like yours and it just stays in one spot.

[ArvaF]

@PBRMasterKai - Yes, sometimes it's very hard to do. All I can say is practice, practice, practice.

[ShadowRocks25]

Creepy ass music.

[RottenGrip]

Do you know if this is possible in the trilogy version?

[Reevin]

ROFL I finally got this to work and boy let me tell you now. Don't abuse the boost in this mode or you'll lockup before you can save.

[TheSuperMegaUltraMan]

I know a backstory.

The ball spins so fast, that samus' suit burns out completely, and the energy ball that samus turns into when morphing is exploited.

[ArvaF]

@TheSuperMegaUltraMan - I like it.

[Jeap118]

the closest i get to doing this is spinning erraitically w/ no sense of direction, any idea what im doing wrong?

[ArvaF]

@Jeap118 - It's hard to find the right angle, because that's what you have to do - pull the stick in the right angle but also to aim in the right direction before morphing. I don't have a clear picture of how it's done, I kinda developend some sort of intuition of how to do it. Do this routine: Get stuck in the right way so the ball spins. Try to move it in all directions and if it doesn't race away like that, unmorph, aim slightly different, morph and repeat the routine.

[Jeap118]

@ArvaF well what i mean is, am i supposed to move around the stick while it's spinning, or am i supposed to hold it in one direction after it starts spinning.

[ArvaF]

@Jeap118 Yes, actually it spins in the direction you pull the stick, and when it hits that particular spin, you found the right angle and ought to freeze the stick in that position and hold it like that. It's quite important you hold it absolutely still or the spin will start to fail.

[Eman9405]

do you need AR to do this?

[ArvaF]

@Eman9405 - Nope, no cheat machinery whatsoever.

[ThePianoBro1]

At 3:42 , do you aim at the orange thingy over there. And when you morph again, what angle do you point to for the cut.

[ArvaF]

@ThePianoBro1 - I believe that particular IS works best if aiming just straight ahead into the room (on the orange thingy) and then morph down. The "cut" is just a marker of that I cut down the wait to shorten the movie and has nothing to do with the IS process.

[ThePianoBro1]

It looks slippery

[ArvaF]

@ThePianoBro1 - It is. It's like morph balling on ice.

[brintin619]

I still don't get how to turn while spinning!

[Lutomysl]

fucken worked for me on mp trilogy. thx for that

[sinriku]

how u spin wqithout moving?

[ArvaF]

@sinriku - If you stand on the right spot you'll get stuck between the box and the wall, then you can spin as you want. You'll probably need to unmorph and move into the right position a couple of times before you get it right, just try to aim in different directions in the room. I usually go with align the wall.

[corneliab]

Wow, thanks for the vid!

I just tried this, and after a little troubleshooting, it worked. Trippy as hell.

[awsomeyoshi2]

OMFG IMA TRY THAT!!!!!!!!!

although i already got that expansion

[MeanestBean2]

Is this glitch possible in the Early North American Version?

[ArvaF]

As far as I know it's doable in all versions, including the Wii versions.

[WertyYertrew]

Does the Power Bomb glitch work in the NTSC version of Metroid Prime Trilogy? Just askin'.

[ArvaF]

Yes. Actually boost ball isn't needed in the Trilogy, but the escape from ball form is a lot glitchier, the game crashes easilly.

[MetroidDatabase]

This was a really great video showcasing this glitch. Thank you!

[dragonridley]

Are you a member of the forum at Metroid 2002?

[ArvaF]

Yes

[dragonridley]

That's good. It'd be a shame if they didn't know about this.

I've never actually found anything useful. Unless 21% happens.

[ArvaF]

This is known since long ago. I just made this video since I couldn't find anything remotely about early PB. vanDijke use this trick to get the ice temple artifact right after wave beam in his recent SS EU speedrun.

[dragonridley]

I know IS is know but was in known in this room?

[ArvaF]

Yes, I've seen it somewhere before, not here on the tube though so that's why I made this video.

[dragonridley]

Does ice spreader still work normally once you have Ice beam? This seems like it could mess it up.

[ArvaF]

I've tried taking it before Ice beam and it seems to work properly. If you don't have Ice, nothing happens and when you take the ice beam you can immediately use the Spreader.

[juliano6010]

Very good video, I will use it for my project about max% without ebams =)

[ArvaF]

Yes, for that purpose it's excellent, especially if you're not requiring time limits.

[FullOfFail]

that's freaking awesome!!
