Super Metroid - 100% Walkthrough - Part 3 of 14

Part 3 of 14 of my Super Metroid 100% walkthrough. Played in real time on Snes9x v1.43 rerecording with rerecords used to optimize video length.

Area Covered & Items Acquired
• Brinstar: Energy Tank x1, Missile x3, Super Missile x1, Power Bomb x2, Spazer Beam, Varia Suit

[00:00] Miniboss: Spore Spawn
This thing is easy, especially since you can shoot the spores for energy and missile refills. To shoot straight up while crouched, hold in both the angle up and angle down buttons. I also have a no damage video of Spore Spawn with a more detailed strategy here:

[01:30] Super missiles
This is where you'd normally get super missiles if you didn't use the mockball trick to get them early.

[02:46] Crumble blocks
Hold in the dash button (its default mapping is B) while running to cross these blocks.

[02:56] Wall jump up the red shaft
Doing this is not necessary to move on in the game or get 100%, it simply lets you acquire power bombs early and save some time. If you're not good at wall jumping you may want to save yourself the trouble and just come back later once you've gotten the Hi-Jump and Ice Beam.

[03:45] Damage boost
To damage boost off something, jump and hold the button, push the opposite direction you want to be sent flying just before you get hit, then hold in the original direction you want to go immediately after taking damage.

[06:42] Wall jump into Kraid's lair
Dash jump off this ledge and you'll make it far enough to wall jump off the side of the platform into Kraid's lair.

[08:01] Boss: Kraid
I use the speed kill trick to beat Kraid here. I also have a no damage video showing the normal way to fight him and another speed kill video of Kraid, both with detailed explanations, here:

How the crap are you supposed to know to break the hidden blocks at 6:40 , 6:54 ect? At least at 7:22 and 5:52 there are cracks...

[Desbreko]

@KINGKICK612 If you got the map — which I didn't because I don't need it — you'd be able to see those rooms on it and guess that there's hidden passages to them. Also, a good policy when playing 2D Metroid games is to just bomb the crap out of every wall you can reach.

I can honestly say this is a great walkthrough. I am climbing high in the game because of it. One question though, how can I get the early power bombs via norfair?

[Desbreko]

@randomturtle1000 Use wall jumping to get the Wave Beam early, use that to get to Crocomire by going left and down from the big green bubble room and opening the blue gate from the right side, and get the PB expansion off the room to the left of Crocomire's. That way is easier than getting them early in the red shaft, but I think it requires more backtracking for a 100% run.
