Super Metroid - X-Ray Scope, no Grapple Beam

This requires the speed booster in order to gain enough speed to do that first wall jump (or extreme bomb jumping skills, either one).

couldn't of you used enemy spiking (damage spiking) to throw yourself farther with each hit you take so you get past this part faster.

@KilllerX Yeah, that's definitely an option. That move is one that I learned a couple years ago, but I never really got the hang of it and wasn't used to using it, so you won't see me using it in any of my videos (intentionally, anyway).

However, since I need a new instructional video to do, I might take another look into it, practice a bit, and make it part of my upcoming comeback (I haven't posted a video in way too long).

You should also say no space jump in your title.

[MetroidGamer12]

Normally at this point in the game, you don't have the Space Jump since it's normally needed to get through Maridia, so I just left it out. It wouldn't be worth uploading if I used the Space Jump.

i can do this with no ice beam, no space jump, no grappling beam and energy tanks. i can do this suitless.

[MetroidGamer12]

I've never actually seen that done. If it truly is possible, it would take a whole lot of luck manipulation to get energy from the grabbing guys (their name escapes me) and bomb jump through a lot of stuff. Definitely the biggest threat in your described situation is the one tank-limit. If it takes all that work to get it early, I don't deem it worth it. Thanks for the idea though. I may make a video like this if I'm able to devise a method.

Nice. I was playing back through it last night and did it without the grapple beam differently -- in the first jump, where you used the speed booster and a wall jump, I froze one of the enemies and used him to jump up there. However, I was almost dead when I actually got the X-Ray Scope, so I had to sit there and kill the flying guys over and over to get enough health to make it back over the spikes.

I just froze everything to get it... but i died on the way back
