No idea what they want from me here. right above the section is a small dead-end room behind a door. if you shoot the door and start all the way to the right the stretch is just long enough to store a shinespark. you then carry it down through the other door, shoot the blocks, and then shinespark the first slope to get your boost going again, slide through the gap and then store another shinespark, drop down and shinespark the second slope, store it again, drop down to where the blocks are, and finally shinespark through them

Lol I'm glad I turned around after getting the wide beam to check out the door in the last EMMI zone since they don't set you back for trying at all. Doing so finally got me the morph ball, and also learned that hitting the chin of an EMMI doesn't count as the head, apparently, so aim high Actually, it seems like every single room checkpoints if you die, if dicking around with these turrets is any indication, which makes how much damage things do even weirder

Meroid, Metroid II, SM and Primes didn't do this to the extent that it's impossible to backtrack, fine, but the backtracking didn't do anything other than add tedium/exploration. Oft you had to come through with all the upgrades anyway just to get the last scans/items. Fusion setting the precedent where you are locked out of areas entirely during parts of the story gave it a tighter focus imo.

Okay, I'm now up to 5 power bomb upgrades and no power bomb. Getting ridiculous. Also, I did a crazy shinespark chain in Burenia and managed to stumble into the Gravity Suit. Lol, time to backtrack and find out how I was supposed to get here.

Dangit, missing one item in Ferenia. Got 2 power bombs, 2 missile+, 3 Energy Parts, and 6 missile tanks. Nothing obvious on the map, no glowing sections or paths to explore or what. Might have to go scanning every room. Edit: found it, the shining was blocked by a charge station icon. Bruceski fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Oct 11, 2021 |

Shinespark puzzle DLC would be great. Or heck, a standalone game. Very strange that in the decade since Fusion and Zero Mission nobody's done one yet.

Twelve by Pies posted:The worst part is after getting the storm missiles when you have to fight two of the fuckers at the same time. I spent a good half hour trying to do that goddamn fight. Doesn't help when you have like half a second to determine if they're going to do the melee attack you can counter, or the supercharged one that'll shred your health bar. The melee attacks are different colors, but with those guys you're much better off just jumping over all the melee attacks are just pumping missiles (storm missiles when possible) into them.

tbh i think the doubles straight up have a weakness to the storm missiles because the 2 fights i've had against them have been a relative breeze just by jumping and blinking past their attacks and then dumping the storms into em

I either got to Kraid wait too early or I just suck. I only have two e tanks. I get to the third wave once, get knocked back to the second, and then promptly die. Maybe I missed something.

The trick for me was realizing the belly shots knocking the spider wall down is a mercy transition, not the best method. Use charge beam to kill the bouncers, dodge the goo, and wait for the spines to climb up there like in other games. They go fast so it takes some practice, but killing the bouncers and with a focus on dodging you've got time.

The game has a ton of sequence breaks, most of which are intentional although a couple require an outright glitch. For example you can get early super missiles as soon as you have speedbooster, this is intentional. You can get early grapple beam and bombs before Kraid, or just early grapple after Kraid. You can use a glitch to skip the boss in Bhurenia, you can get Cross Bombs long before you have screw attack or space jump, you can get Gravity Suit before you ever set foot in Ferenia, which leads to getting Screw Attack early which the Storm Missile boss is actually weak against. In fact, there's never a point in time you're required to get Space Jump at all, you can make do with wall jumps, shinesparks, and infinite bomb jumps.

The second, EMMI-02SM drops the spider magnet for example. Don't know what the first would stand for though, its designation is -01P.

Oft you had to come through with all the upgrades anyway just to get the last scans/items. In SM you could get incremental upgrades, but not clear the entire area after getting powerups. For example before you got the gravity suit you could go down to the area in Brinstar below the charge beam and get a missile tank, but not the energy tank. However you were free to come back to that area anytime you wanted to after getting power bombs and get those missiles. You weren't locked from going there directly after getting power bombs if you wanted. In fact very near that area there were several powerbomb passages including a short-cut to Crateria and many extra items (reserve tanks, e-tanks, super-missiles, and more power bombs) that you had access to even without the gravity suit. Basically improving yourself before you fought Phantoon. Did you have to do that? No, were you expected to do it? No. But the point is you could, and doing so made Phantoon easier and rewarded the player for exploring. IIRC you could get 6 e-tanks and 2 reserve ranks before fighting phantoon, without doing advanced movement techniques (infinite bomb jumping, one-wall infinite wall-jumping, no-gravity under-water fuckery etc) all before the gravity suit. You could also get 15? super missiles, and like 55 missiles and 3 e-tanks plus 1 reserve tank pre-kraid if you wanted to. Even though Kraid was expecting you to fight him with only 2 etanks and 5 super missiles.

ate poo poo on live tv posted:You can Mock Ball to get the Ice Beam, but yea I may be misremembering what you need to get back to your ship after you go through that one-way gate in brinstar. For that particular section, you're locked behind the lock and also a giant shaft. To get out, you need to get High Jump, beat Kraid for Varia Suit, find Speed Booster, find Ice Beam, then you can climb out of the shaft and further, collecting Power Bombs along the way, which spits you back out on Crateria, so you can get lost. The next goal is actually back down to Norfair though to get Grapple Beam + Wave Beam, but the game sort of lets you try out your new powers in familiar areas until then.
