Super Metroid Speed Trick - Gravity Statue Skip

This video shows how to break into Wrecked Ship's Gravity Suit room from the wrong side, and therefore skipping the long Gravity Statue scenario, which is more than 24,5 seconds slower in comparison.

In order to work, this trick requires the Grapple Beam to get stuck in the wall, a Crystal Flash, and the X-Ray Scope to climb up the wall as shown.

Unfortunately it's only of use in a 100% speedrun due to the many additional items it requires for the execution.

Note:
This is a tool-assisted demonstration. More info at http://TASvideos.org/

This is also useful if you didn't kill Phantoon yet. An extra layer of protection against Phantoon always helps.

@Amaroqdricaldari: Unfortunately not possible. The Gravity Suit won't be available until Phantoon's death due to the event changes in Wrecked Ship triggered by it.

@SaturnTAS: you are right!

@Amaroqdricaldari: This room has 2 States: one with the 1st graphic set of wrecked ship andtheother one wit the 2nd. also, there is no GSuite-PLM in the 1st state. it'smuch different - yeah, maybe it's possible, to glich and load the 2nd state, without killing it, but i'm bot shure, if such a glich can be done yet.

how did you du this ?? =)

[starrodkirby1]

lmao samus was dancing in the wall :D

@TommittajaFIN Just charge up your Charge Beam until you start flashing, then just spin jump through the fire. Also, the bouncing fire he drops from his closed eye only hurts you once it touches the floor or a wall. Finally, use a charged Wave-Spazer shot twice, then a charged Wave-Spazer-Ice per round. Once you do it 3 times, finish it off with a Super Missile.
