Torvus Plaza E Tank (Red Scarlet)

This is a method to grab the Torvus Plaza Energy tank quicker. It also bypasses the possible camera glitch in this room. It was found by Red Scarlet.

bartendorsparky's method is faster (but tougher to pull off). See his 100% speedrun (segment 18) at SDA (Speed Demos Archive) for a video of that method. http://speeddemosarchive.com/MetroidEchoes.html#100

Or see the Speed Tricks pages at m2k2 for a description and video of another method. http://www.metroid2002.com/echoes/speed_tricks_windchamber.php

How did you get in torvus without your dark suit?

[doninss]

Ghetto jump in Abandoned Base (up to the portal).

Visit metroid2002. From the echoes page, navigate to get to the "Without the Dark Suit - Abandoned Base" page.

[Blerimkauftbier]

I don´t get it. Just please say which Level and room.

[doninss]

Abandoned Base is the room name, in Sky Temple Grounds.

Might want to look at this page: dubya dubya dubya dot genericgamer dot com/MP2/ABghetto/

@Hanser68 u have the spinning bits of tracks on the other side, right? while u go near them, the camera shows the rear part hiding ur view making it almost impossible to proceed (u need a lot of luck if u hav that glitch on urs!)

Thank you so much!

I got pissed at the horrible camera, but this helped me get it just fine. Landing there is also a free ticket to the Kinetic Orb cannon to save the effort of Screw Attacking.

Boost Ball Guardian + no Dark Suit + Hypermode/Veteran = Complete Hell.

Thanks a lot. I was starting to get really annoyed because of that stupid camera.

woaaaaaah thanks!!! it worked even in MPTrilogy! i got that visual glitch and then found this and it worked on the 1st try lol thanksss

[deveousdevil]

no, there is a point when the things rotate that the camera switches from the BACK of the tower, so you can't see what you're doing. it sucks

[deveousdevil]

Thank you so much!!!

god, stupid camera. i was trying for like 40 mins, before i decided to look up some videos about this shit.

[Hanser68]

wtf is this camera glitch thing? I got this tank first time in this room...I didnt get no glitch(im not showing off or anything by saying that I just dont know what the hell you guys are talking about) YOu just have to take it slowly and eventually you reach the tank...if you try too fast you miss the narrow ledges...anyways can someone explain what happens during the "camera glitch"?
