Metroid Zero Mission - Early Screw Attack

This is just a video of me getting the Screw Attack early in a hard mode run, which would be useful given the circumstances.

It's obtainable just after the Hi-jump upgrade.

Goto the super-heated room and open the door, then get your aim angled downward with missles ready, and start running.

In the next room, make sure you blast the enemy so you don't slow down, then release the angle and shoot the door to the save room.

Quickly shinespark back, make sure you don't run into the speed blocks on the floor, and boost your way up, hooray.

I've gotten the Varia Suit early, I've skipped entire bosses and the Long Beam powerup, and I couldn't think of this?!

Kudos!

@h4y4bu54 Did you skip getting the high jump boots too? I did.

I think a lot of people get the Varia Suit early, maybe even accidentally on their first playthrough like me.

@RupeeClock i got 2 mother brain with skipping the varia suit hi jump and screw attack and got 2 mother brain and btw i had 4 energy tanks and no super missles

[RupeeClock]

@dakingeth Cool, you can skip a lot of stuff in the game actually.

Can't remember the exact minimum run for zero mission though.

[Amaroqdricaldari]

I know an even faster, easier way to get the Screw Attack early.

[RupeeClock]

@Amaroqdricaldari

Yeah, shoot the hidden missile blocks at the top left corner.

I didn't know that when I made this video.

[MetroidPeter]

I used missles & wall jumping.

@RupeeClock A year later, sadly the varia suit isn't needed really for speed runs and you get it at the end of the game anyway T_T

[TheCharizardFlame]

I found it by accident! W00T!

[RupeeClock]

@112fredrick I know that now, but you can still consider this the creative way of getting to it, if you didn't notice the missile blocks.

[Autobubbs]

this looks a lot easier than when I used the 'bomb jump'.

[manbearpig937]

i can skip imago 

[Xzynorqui]

@RupeeClock Yeah, i was just exploring and bomb jumped up and got the varia suit on my first playthrough ever lol

[aspyr135]

i wish i had the screw attack before i entered ridley's lair, would've been soooooooo much easier

[aspyr135]

i went into ridley's lair before kraid then panicked when i thought the only way to escape was to use the speed booster, thank god the developers anticipated something someone trying to fight ridley first and added an alternat escape route :)
