Super Metroid - 100% Walkthrough - Part 10 of 14

Part 10 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
• Maridia: Reserve Tank x1, Missile x2, Space Jump, Plasma Beam
• Norfair
• Lower Norfair

[00:28] Boss: Draygon
I like frying Draygon with the Grappling Beam because it's easy but I also have a no damage video with a detailed strategy here:

[01:43] Backwards space jumping?
If the space jumping looks weird to you, like the rotation is going the wrong direction, it's due to the frame rate being reduced to 20 fps from 60 fps. I didn't use 30 fps, as is standard on YouTube, because that causes even more graphical anomalies.

how does one learn all the names of the bosses in the metroid series?

@Octoshark19 Wikitroid is a good resource for looking up enemy names, especially for the earlier games where you don't get many in game.

I fucking hate maridia

@HappyHawaiinSauce Do you realize that this is one of the earliest games to feature wall jumping? Besides Ninja Gaiden, I can't think of anything from before 1994 that used it as extensively as you can in Super Metroid. Maybe Prince of Persia; can't remember if the original series had wall jumping.

Personally, I dislike how they dumbed down wall jumping in future Metroid and Mario games. Super Metroid and Mario 64 have the best wall jumping in their series.

holy shit it has passed around 19 years since the first time i played this game and now i discovered the correct way to kill this monster. awesome game still my favorite. I hope the create another game like this for ds in the same way they did this. Metroid zero mission and fusion can not be compared to this.
