Super Metroid - Spring Ball from the Glass Tube

OK, this one is just a quick video of how to get the spring ball in Maridia starting and ending at the broken glass tube. You need to have the squishy dude frozen in that exact position and spin jump on top of him so that you're kneeling down on him. From there just jump straight through (don't try to stand, just jump). This might take a few tries though because sometimes it doesn't work, even when everything is in the right position.

it's possible the part 1:04 ? 

[MetroidGamer12]

@pepon10messi Yes, it's possible. What you have to do is freeze the gummy thing exactly as show, somersault onto it, crouch, and do a simple jump up & through the blocks. Honestly, it's success seems pretty randomized to me (in odds against your favor at that).

I can't do the trick it's so hard.

[MetroidGamer12]

@jthespenger If you just want the spring ball, read up on the alternate/normal method of getting it in my replies to Iceman20004's comments. If you want to do the trick I show specifically, read up on the video description. If you still need or want help after that, I'll do the best I can.

[Iceman20004]

Yeah hey thanks bro that helped tremendously I was able to Follow the instructions quite Clearly. There is however something that you do in the Video and that is a power jump through a door I tried and tried and everytime I went through a door it stopped I was aiming for the missiles in Maridia that you have to power jump to get. I have tried wall jumping and I SUCK at it though I do practice at it everyday

[MetroidGamer12]

@Iceman20004 If you're talking about the missiles I think you are, then wall jumping won't get you anywhere. If it's the missile pack you get in the room just above where the glass tube is, then watch 0:35 - 1:35 of my Let's Play #17 (youtube won't let me link to it here). If you're talking about another missile pack, please explain in more detail where it is.

1:20 A very good example of how perverted and crazy the creatures on Zebes can be.

It's too bad that this doesn't work when you're suitless. Even if it's in the perfect position, it won't work, only if the Gravity Suit is equipped (Varia Suit won't work either). Has anyone tried x-ray climbing up there? I tried, but it doesn't seem to be working, I might not be at the top yet though, we'll see. The map doesn't load if you haven't been to that area yet, I wonder if that has any effect. Be interesting to see.

Wow, i hate Maridia. I've only ever played Super Metroid twice, once just a normal run, another time a 100% run. I hated it so much both times! IT NEEDS TO DIE IN A HOLE.

Watching speed runs of this game makes me realize what a failure in life I am.
