Metroid Fusion - Secret Message

If you perform these difficult maneuvers in the Game Boy Advance game "Metroid Fusion", you can see this. It is one of the only "sequence breaks" in the game, and--to the best of my knowledge--although the ability existed in prior Metroid titles, this scene is what actually named the glowing aura around Samus as the "Shinespark".

Adam: I wonder how many players will see this message...?

Samus: What the hell are you talking about?!

Adam: oh crap uh... I mean... nothing Samus go get back to work!

The trick, as people are asking, is this. When Samus builds up enough speed she gets that glow. It allows her to shoulder ram through certain obstacles at high speeds. However, you usually LOSE the aura after you perform one ram.

However, if you ram into a slope, Samus will keep her aura. So the author continually "rams" short slopes with high precision to keep the charge to go to an area and break through the wall.

0:20 and 0:24 look especially impossible for this trick.

Samus was not authorized to see that message.

Enemy: "C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER"

After watching this video, I've realized that there's no fucking way I'm doing this.

@Ranemoraken Another important factor of this trick is that Samus automatically engages the shoulder-ram when she jumps, unless she's doing a FLIP. Being careful not to just jump straight up is an important factor to the trick since that would force you to go into a shoulder-ram even if you aren't near a slope you can abuse.

@akatony1992, If you're still trying to figure it out, let me tell you:

First, get the program 'visual boy advance', and a .rom file for fusion. Then download and install:

Lagarith lossless codec

meGUI

Virtualdub

Load VBA, open the rom file, and look in VBA's tabs for an option to 'record .AVI.' choose Lagarith lossless when prompted, and record. When done, load in Virtualdub, do edits, sync the audio and video framerates, then render it in meGUI. I can tell you how to do those if you want.

Oh god, I remember doing this. I think I spent 6 hours over a couple months attempting and reatemting; If you plan on it, I'd HIGHLY recomend using an emulator. Having to walk back every time is an absolute dog.

@akatony1992 - Nice! Looking forward to it, then! ;)

@elguaro3 I did this on my advance a long time ago. And I sparked in all of those spots, its kinda difficult, requires good nerves and a steady hand, but its very much possible.
