wall jumping in this game is fucking stupid. It's a pain in the ass. The game designers suck massive black cock for making wall jumping completely different from every other fucking game, fucking disgrace.
@HappyHawaiinSauce Do you realize that this is one of the earliest games to feature wall jumping? Besides Ninja Gaiden, I can't think of anything from before 1994 that used it as extensively as you can in Super Metroid. Maybe Prince of Persia; can't remember if the original series had wall jumping.
Personally, I dislike how they dumbed down wall jumping in future Metroid and Mario games. Super Metroid and Mario 64 have the best wall jumping in their series.
@Desbreko If I can remember correctly in 1993 Gunstar Heroes and Shinobi 3 both utilized wall jumping mechanics. Although they didn't use it nearly as extensively as Super Metroid, the controls were superior.
@AYCHMENG It was, but its style of wall jumping wouldn't work at all well for Metroid. Imagine trying to play Super Metroid and sticking to the walls whenever you touch them.
@Desbreko Hey your right man , btw great video you are excellent. Thanks you helped improve my game a bit. Are you playing this on emulator? And if you are are you using the keyboard or a controller? I am using a keyboard and I know if I had a controller (preferably snes type ) I would have no problem doing a wall jump its a bitch to do with a keyboard at least for me. I used to have this game on the super back in the day.
@AYCHMENG I played on an emulator, yeah, but I have an adapter that lets me use a SNES controller with my PC. Playing Super Metroid with a keyboard doesn't work well at all, so I'd highly recommend getting some type of gamepad or USB adapter.
Mega Man X came out in Japan December 1993, just before Super Metroid. It had much better wall kicking/jumping in my opinion actually. Also, in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy, at least he'll grab onto the wall. That way, you can just click in the direction he's actually facing and then jump.
@Desbreko I agree. It was like how they dumbed down 2D fighters with the inclusion of air blocking and pop-ups beginning with SF Alpha (continued with X-Men, Darkstalkers, Marvel vs. Capcom, etc.), and was even included in MK3. And you're right, it all started circa 1994 - 95.
@Desbreko have you played metroid other M it has awesome wall jumping some times when there are enemies in the walls nintendo aded spots to hang to first kill enemies then wallgump metroid other M the only future game that has great wall jumping
@Desbreko Lol. OMG so innovative! Oh wait no it wasn't.
This guy's walkthough is fabulous but this game is queer. This game is poorly laid out by todays standards. What made this game decent was it's play mechanics. BTW the Space jump is such a QUEER ability, so lame... Thanks Metroids for placing it here so that I can make it easier to get to you :roll eyes:

Technically, no it wasn't, since decimate means to remove 1/10th of something. You'd want a word that would mean 'to remove 2/3rds of', or alternately, 'to be 1/3rd of'. If 'tricimated' isn't a word, it should be.
@elfinfluff That comment was totally gay... By which I mean merry and jovial, of course, because words obviously never have more than one definition. :p
hey man, I got this game on virtual console and am using wii classic controller pro, does that wall jump and shinespark and all that other stuff work ok with that kind of controller?
this is an amazing walkthrough. ive followed you every step of the way thus far, except at one point int he beginning where i was more or less useless at wall jumping but now can hop up them no problem
You have provided such a swift and detailed walk-through. I truly appreciate all that you have done here. Your efforts are Staggering. And you explain everything so clearly. I love you, man. I love you.
I am going to subscribe. I rarely do that.
You have shown me many moves and brought me from 95% to 100%. thank you!!!!!
the maridia area has music that sounds familiar...i think it's a song that is played on classic rock radio stations, but I can't name or remember it exactly...
Know what I noticed the second he entered Lower Norfair? It's the exact same music that they used in Magmoor Caverns on Metroid Prime. Why the hell did they do that? Eh, good music altogether, I guess.
@Bluestreak257 a rancore. its from star wars. they are very big, ugly and extremely mean. you have to kill like 50 of them in the wii version of star wars force unleashed.
@kirbyzilla19 Well,if you have one energy tank left,you can activate the reserve tanks to fill up so many energy tanks as you have reserve tanks.Use them on hard bosses.
why do you still use wall jump when you have space jump? PS any time i leave a comment if people pm me cause i rarely go back to previous episodes to check the comments
@117scorcher You can travel upwards faster by wall jumping than you can by space jumping. Also, wall jumping lets you continue space jumping even if you've fallen far enough that you'd otherwise have to land before being able to space jump again.
Am I the only person that thinks the lower norfair music is annoying? Also its the same music as magmoor caverns from metroid prime, where it is equally annoying. Why do they always have to re use annoying songs? :P
You're the only one that doesn't like it lol! And second, 'what has gaming music come to?!' You're complaining about music from a 17 year old game! What next, complain about the old gameboy for only having two buttons?!
Hey, gameboy kicked ass :P. I was saying more like, what is up with today's gamers that they actually like that? But yeah, I hated the magmoor caverns not because of the lava but because that song kept taunting me! lol. Doo. Doo Doo. Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo.......
@epicdavid all background music is repetitive. because it constantly repeats after a certain point. i'd agree with you if you were referring to the item acquisition theme.
Yes, it's just a bit tricky. There's a couple ways you can do it.
The first way is to wall jump off the left wall above the crumble blocks and then push down just after the wall jump. That'll make you morph immediately and slip into the passage.
The second way is to disequip the Hi-Jump and stand on the very edge of the crumble blocks. Spin jump up past the overhang and then morph into the passage.
To reach the items from there, you'll have to use a bit of bomb jumping.
Jump again just as you start to fall; if you press the button while you're still traveling upwards, it won't work. Also, if you fall too far without jumping, you won't be able to jump again until you land or wall jump off a wall.
Over to the right? It leads to the upper part of the room shown at 1:37 in part 11. So you can go right from the elevator to skip the gold Torizo and Screw Attack if you want.
I gravity jumped into Lower Norfair and decided I wanted to get the screw attack. I went left after going down the elevator and decided to just go through the lava and wall jump up to the Chozo statue. I morph ball into his hands and the lava doesn't drain at all.
What gives? I'm guessing the only way to get the screw attack without the space jump is to do the green gate glitch?
I'm not sure what's up with that. I just went and tried the same thing and sure enough, the statue wouldn't drain the lava.
I thought maybe it wouldn't work if you touched the lava, but coming back with the Space Jump and testing both going through the lava and jumping over it both resulted in the lava draining. I'd guess it's either a bug where not having the Space Jump screws it up, or some check to see whether you've beaten Draygon.
I figured it out Desbreko. After scouring the Metroid2002 forums, I found that the reason the lava doesn't drain is that the game does a silent check to see if you have the space jump or not. If you don't have the space jump, the lava doesn't drain, which means no screw attack. Simple as that.
This means that the developers knew you could get into Lower Norfair without needing the space jump - they just didn't know that you could green gate glitch the other way to get the screw attack anyway.
You activate the grappling beam and make sure you are caught by one of his leeches, Then jump up near one of thos destroyed shooters. When Draygon grabs you, You fire your grappling beam at the shooters.
they fill up once samus life is full, everytime you get life. then once samus life goes to zero they bring samus back to life from the life that was reserved in them.
Um, no, that is not at all how the human eye works. It doesn't see in fps, it sees a constant stream of light. And it can certainly distinguish more than 24 changes per second.
The reason it looks backwards is because two out of every three of the original animation's frames were decimated. That made the motion much less fluid, and harder to distinguish which direction the rotation is going. You can still see it going the correct direction if you train your eye to look at it right.
Well so much for the wall jump now that you have the Space jump.BTW tnx for reminding me about this game this is one of my Fav games of all time true Classic.TNx Again for this walktrough(^_^)
Exactly what it looked like. Let one of the white things attach to you so Draygon will pick up up, then grapple beam one of the destroyed wall turrets while it's holding you. Makes crispy fried Draygon in seconds.
Oh you have got to be kidding me! Do you know how many game overs I've endured trying to kill this thing and it winds up being that easy! Yes, I'm angry at myself. Thanks dude, I'd never figure it out without ya.
The Space Jump? Press the jump button again just after you start falling from the previous jump. You have to wait until you stop gaining altitude from the previous jump but you can't wait too long or else you won't be able to space jump again until landing or wall jumping.
That's part of a glitch called the Murder Beam, where you equip all five beams at once. Take a look at my Mother Brain 2 - Murder Beam video to see how to do it. watch?v=YqIManl66uQ

they fill up once samus life is full, everytime you get life. then once samus life goes to zero they bring samus back to life from the life that was reserved in them.

Um, no, that is not at all how the human eye works. It doesn't see in fps, it sees a constant stream of light. And it can certainly distinguish more than 24 changes per second.
The reason it looks backwards is because two out of every three of the original animation's frames were decimated. That made the motion much less fluid, and harder to distinguish which direction the rotation is going. You can still see it going the correct direction if you train your eye to look at it right.

have you heard of the death shot, it kills anything with one hit?
TheSupermetroidfan0 2 years ago
It's called the murder beam, and it's an extremely hard to do glitch that will crash your game. >:

To think, I could have done this back when I was in 3rd grade, when Draygon inexplicably gave me the most trouble out of all the bosses... (facepalm)

Yeahhh, what did you do to draygon?
LMbasspro16 2 years ago
Exactly what it looked like. Let one of the white things attach to you so Draygon will pick up up, then grapple beam one of the destroyed wall turrets while it's holding you. Makes crispy fried Draygon in seconds.

Oh you have got to be kidding me! Do you know how many game overs I've endured trying to kill this thing and it winds up being that easy! Yes, I'm angry at myself. Thanks dude, I'd never figure it out without ya.

The Spring Ball, which I got in part 9, allows you to jump while in ball form.

how do you use the moon jump in the air
gamegeek93 3 years ago
The Space Jump? Press the jump button again just after you start falling from the previous jump. You have to wait until you stop gaining altitude from the previous jump but you can't wait too long or else you won't be able to space jump again until landing or wall jumping.

BTW, I know you get the Plasma Beam but how do you get VAR for the Plasma Beam later on?
Europeancow2 3 years ago
That's part of a glitch called the Murder Beam, where you equip all five beams at once. Take a look at my Mother Brain 2 - Murder Beam video to see how to do it. watch?v=YqIManl66uQ

hey, what's with the little Draygon's not with the big one it drags it away when it dies? Enemies? I donno...
Europeancow2 3 years ago
Do I really need to get the plasma gun or is it optional?
nlschlue 3 years ago
You don't have to get the Plasma Beam but it makes the rest of the game easier. It's a lot more powerful than the Spazer Beam.

The Gravity Suit prevents damage from lava, though acid and the lava in Tourian still hurt you.
